If there’s one moody spooky 80s vampire flick we absolutely love (who are we kidding- we love a lot of them), it’s Joel Schumacher’s “The Lost Boys.” Mixing a classic horror with a New Wave sensibility and one of the best soundtracks of that year, these teen vamps who terrorize Santa Carla didn’t know what hit them when they came toe to toe with Michael, his brother Sam, and the comic book shop owners- The Frog Brothers.Turns out, one of the Frog Brothers, Corey Feldman, just dropped some pretty great news on his personal Twitter account- that a Frog Brother…

It is the end of an era, as the Coca Cola Company has announced that they will be discontinuing the first-ever diet soda, TAB. Citing the saccharine-sweet drink as underperforming, the company made the difficult decision to pull the product from production. Senior Vice President of Innovation and Commercialization for Coke Brad Spickert said “This is not a bottom-line efficiency play. It’s a top-line growth play.”So, I guess we’ll follow Nolan Sorrento’s plan- “When I want to blow off steam… I crack open a Tab, play Robotron and listen to some Duran Duran.”

We are SO PLEASED to report the news that Michael B. Jordan will be taking part in another important comic book project- Warner Bros.

Outlier Society is committed to bringing to life diverse comic book content across all platforms and we are excited to partner with Reggie and Warner Bros on this initial step.” We’re pretty darn excited about this news, especially…

We’ve spoken a little about the great Spooky Season classic “Hocus Pocus” this year- clearly, this is a lie, as we’ve YELLED ABOUT IT A LOT IN 2020. But, just in case you missed it previously, we need to tell you about Bette Middler’s upcoming New York Restoration Project virtual event happening at the end of the month.The Devine Ms. M is reuniting with her “Hocus Pocus” sisters Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy on October 30th for a one-time-only event hosted by Elvira Mistress of the dark. “In Search of the Sanderson Sisters” event will also feature Glenn Close,…

We are so pleased to report that CBS All Access has ordered a 4th season of “Star Trek: Discovery!” Season 3 just premiered yesterday, and this is very good news for fans of the show. Production on season 4 is set to start next month!

Every so often we find a Kickstarter campaign that we’ve just GOT to share with you, and “DRACULA: The Evidence” is the perfect Halloween project to highlight.DRACULA: The Evidence is an entirely new way to experience Stoker’s masterpiece: through an actual physical research dossier full of ephemera, correspondence, clues and artifacts. It’s the entire original text of Dracula, presented as a gorgeously designed and curated briefcase full of maps, letters, diaries, newspaper clippings, telegrams, and phonograph records. We teamed up with Dracula expert and the author’s great-grand nephew Dacre Stoker to bring you the most immersive way imaginable to experience this masterpiece of Gothic…

Welp, we know what we’re doing this weekend- every single episode of “The Simpsons” iconic annual Treehouse of Horror Halloween special is available in a single collection on Disney+. I mean, we assume you’ve been binging the animated series like we have during quarantine, because what the hell else are you gonna do? Also, this weekend will see Treehouse of Horror XXXI air, and we CANNOT WAIT.

Brie Larson is a delightful treasure, and we are all lucky to have access to her. Whether it’s her tweeting a line from a car commercial she’s well-known for, taking down the male-dominated journalism world to make room for female reporters, or being a big goofball- the Oscar-winning actress can also sing! I mean, have you *seen* “Scott Pilgrim vs. The World?” Larson recently launched her own Youtube channel, and has released some pretty great video content. Her most recent? A song written from Instagram comments on her posts. You can watch it here.

We’re gonna start by saying this is odd. Pretty much ALL the reputable entertainment journalism sites (Variety, THR, etc.) ran similar stories when we broke the news that Tatiana Maslany had been approached to play Jennifer Walters, aka She-Hulk, for Disney+’s upcoming live-action series about the lawyer hero. It sounds like we all MAY have jumped the gun on this. According to a recent interview Maslany gave to The Leader Post, playing She-Hulk is “not actually a thing.” That actually isn’t a real thing and it’s like a press release that’s gotten out of hand. It’s totally not — I’ve…

Do you remember what games you’d play or how you’d spend your afternoons when you were 11? Seems like there are few of us that can compare to a Baton Rogue, Louisiana boy who stole an unlocked school bus and had a nice joyride around in it. He even flipped off pursuing police officers at one point, no doubt cementing his cred in lunchrooms for years to come. According to Baton Rouge outlet The Advocate, Police spokesman Sgt. L’Jean McKneely Jr. said the bus was unlocked, and had a push start button. Did…did they forget the type of thing 11…
