Just in case you missed it- New York Comic Con (NYCC) 2020 went virtual this year, and that means EVERYONE has the ability to watch the panels, trailers, and various goodies as they’re live streamed. In particular one of the things we were super curious about was STARZ returning series, “American Gods.” Considering just how much Loki-style chaos has come from the show, based on Neil Gaiman’s novel of the same name, “American Gods” season 3 could be one for the record books. Perhaps you’ll recall the strange affair of the firing of Orlando Jones, aka Mr. Nancy, and the…

Jeff Goldblum, actor, crooner, delightfully eccentric at times personality that he is- just brought back one of his most iconic character poses. Surprising no one, the next “Jurassic Park” moment to be recreated by Goldblum while on set for “Jurassic World: Dominion” is that scene that launched a thousand memes- shirtless Dr. Ian Malcolm in repose, aka Goldbluming. Jeff, as well as his fellow “Jurassic Park” stars Sam Neill and Laura Dern have been using their positions of influence to encourage US fans of the dino series to register to vote in the upcoming presidential election that may be the…

We are SO READY to go back into the OASIS created by author Ernie Cline in his “Ready Player One” universe with the official sequel novel, “Ready Player Two,” due out next month.Seriously. We cannot WAIT for this.In particular- I’ve been interviewing Cline since his first book tour for RP1, wherein we spoke about how amazing it would be if the story ever got made into a movie, let alone one from freaking Steven Spielberg. And, of course, if he had any plans for additional tales in the universe (spoiler- of COURSE he did). Just today, publisher Penguin Random House…

We cannot BEGIN to explain how excited we are for this particular announcement about yet-another-classic Disneyland ride getting a major live action motion picture- SPACE MOUNTAIN!

What the hell is this?? Seriously. This is NOT the look we were expecting for Hulu’s upcoming animated series “Marvel’s M.O.D.O.K.” about the notorious X-Men foe. The official panel is happening today at 5:30pm PST, so we’re expecting a trailer drop at the very least. Patton Oswalt stars as M.O.D.O.K., Melissa Fumero, Ben Schwartz, Aimee Garcia, Beck Bennett, and more. We’re expecting a release date to get dropped during the panel as well. We’ll let you know what we hear.

HBO Max is doing their best to stack their DC Comics offerings, including the long-rumored live-action “Green Lantern” series. An official series order for 10 1-hour episodes was made public today, as well as details of who will be writing and showrunning. Producer Greg Berlanti said: “In what promises to be our biggest DC show ever made, we will be going to space with a Green Lantern television series — but I can’t reveal any more about that just yet.”Seth Grahame-Smith and Marc Guggenheim are co-writing and executive producing, with Grahame-Smith serving as showrunner. Berlanti Productions will produce in association with Warner…

Remember that amazing “Dune” trailer that hit last month, and the pretty spectacular cover of Pink Floyd’s “Eclipse” from Dark Side of the Moon that Hans Zimmer came up with for it?Today, the decorated composer released the full 1:37 version of the track. We’re still sad we won’t be getting “Dune” til 2021, this is a nice thing to get us through the weekend. Shai Hulud.

While we’re still basking in the darkness of Spooky Season, there’s another holiday looming on the horizon. One with a mascot who likes to sit and watch every little thing you do before a large man breaks into your house and leaves you gifts.We’re talking of course of Elf on a Shelf (which you already know we don’t care for because HE’S CREEPY). Just this morning, streaming giant Netflix announced that they’ve entered into a partnership with The Lumistella Company, home to the perennial best seller The Elf on the Shelf: A Christmas Tradition. Netflix will develop engaging original content…

Okay so….we’re back onto filling our complete 2020 Bingo cards with outlandish and outright scary stuff. This time, it’s venomous hairy caterpillars, and they’ve been sighted in Virginia. Please, don’t touch this thing. The Virginia Department of Forestry wants you to stay away from this particular caterpillar because those lil spines on the back of it are venomous.Diagnostician at the Insect Identification Lab at Virginia Tech University Theresa Dellinger told CNN: “There are little hollow hairs in that fluffy, hairy material. It’s not going to reach out and bite you, but if someone brushes up against that hair, it’ll release…

No mixed words- I f**king love “The West Wing.” It remains one of my absolute favorite shows on television, and that genius madman Aaron Sorkin KNEW we needed a dose of the best presidential administration ever in this current climate.Enter HBO Max’s incredible “A West Wing Special,” which will reunite the incredible cast of the NBC series, with Sterling K. Brown taking over the part of Leo for the late great John Spencer. Just…tell me this gallery doesn’t give you the warm and fuzzies.
