For what ever reason, Lifetime has teamed up with KFC (yes, Kentucky Fried Chicken KFC) to produce a short romance film starring Mario Lopez as Colonel Sanders. Described as “full of mystery, suspense, deception, ‘fowl’ play and at the heart of it all, love and fried chicken,” “A Recipe for Seduction” is a 15-minute short film starring Lopez as Colonel Harland Sanders, the founder of the restaurant chain. A young heiress whose mother has handpicked a suitor for her, gets involved in a steamy love affair with the Colonel. “But when a handsome, young chef with a secret fried chicken…

Leave it to “Black Mirror” creator Charlie Brooker to bring the perfect darkly twisted mockumentary about 2020 to Netflix. The very first teaser trailer for the upcoming project pretty much sums up this very “The Twilight Zone” year. “2020: A year so [insert adjective of choice here], even the creators of Black Mirror couldn’t make it up… but that doesn’t mean they don’t have a little something to add. Death to 2020 is a comedy event that tells the story of the dreadful year that was — and perhaps still is? This landmark documentary-style special weaves together some of the…

Just as we were getting comfortable with the idea of FINALLY getting to see Legendary and Warner Bros. Pictures “Dune” reboot at some point, things are getting messy. If you’ll recall, the entertainment world was stunned when last week, Warner Bros. announced plans to release their upcoming 2021 movie slate on streaming service HBO Max the same day each film was set to ‘release in theaters.’ We’re not sure if that’s cockeyed optimism, or outright refusal to accept the ongoing state of the world, honestly. Either way, we were very excited to see that Denis Villeneuve’s “Dune” was included in…

Imagine you’re doing a google search for a song you adore, one that’s been covered more than once, and is a widely respected tune from a dearly departed unearthly being. In this case, David Bowie’s classic melancholiac tune “The Man Who Sold The World,” and just exactly who Google things wrote it. Enter Duncan Jones, filmmaker and son of the late great Bowie, who tweeted this image of his recent Google search results when looking for that particular track. Yes, Nirvana DID do an absolutely delightful cover of the song during their iconic MTV Unplugged session, but WROTE it? Yeah…

Every so often, I fall down a music video rabbit hole. I’m sure we all do it- watching every possible version of a particular song, because it’s on our minds. That’s what happened to me just the other night, and I’m seriously glad it did, because A-Ha’s “Take On Me” is so much more than just a music video. It’s ART. Obviously, we’re not talking about the FIRST version of the music video, released in 1984, which was SO FREAKING DIFFERENT. Like….absolutely completely different. We’re talking about the second video, released in May of 1985, with its absolutely GORGEOUS mix…

Just how many times is BossLogic gonna be right with his spot-on casting, anyway?! (We say that with nothing but love, because we adore him and his art!) The newest confirmation that goes in line with a piece of BossLogic fan-casting artwork is the long-mentioned casting of Oscar Isaac as Solid Snake in a live-action film adaptation of video game title “Metal Gear Solid.” Deadline reported the news, saying that sources have confirmed to them this is a done deal for Isaac to play Solid Snake, and so does The Hollywood Reporter (so we’re more inclined to believe it now).…

STARZ released an official trailer for the upcoming 3rd season of their series “American Gods,” based on the book of the same name by Neil Gaiman. If you’ll recall, the adventures of said series have been notable, so say the least. Originally developed by Bryan Fuller who eventually parted ways with STARZ due to “creative differences,” the show is now on it’s third showrunner. Fuller’s exit also prompted Gillian Anderson, who played the character Media, to quit due to her close ties to Fuller. There is also the matter of the absolute bullshit firing of Orlando Jones, following his accusations…

This just in-Warner Bros. Pictures just announced that yes, some of their upcoming biggest theatrical releases will be premiering on streaming service HBO Max. 2021’s Warner Bros. Pictures releases including “Dune,” “The Suicide Squad,” “The Matrix 4,” “The Many Saints of Newark,” “In the Heights,” “Space Jam: A New Legacy,” “Mortal Kombat,” and “Godzilla vs. Kong” will be following the release model of Wonder Woman 1984, and hitting HBO Max. Each of these films will be hitting HBO Max the same day they open in theaters. WarnerMedia CEO and chair Ann Sarnoff said in a statement: “We’re living in unprecedented…

While we’re still rather sad and disappointed we’re not getting more “The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina” on Netflix following part 4, we are pretty pleased to be getting a set ending. Earlier this morning, the streaming giant released the final trailer for the final season of the show. Chilling Adventures of Sabrina re-imagines the origin and adventures of Sabrina the Teenage Witch as a dark coming-of-age story that traffics in horror, the occult and, of course, witchcraft. Over the course of Part 4’s eight episodes, The Eldritch Terrors will descend upon Greendale. The coven must fight each terrifying threat one-by-one…
