While we’re in a black hole of things to look forward to in the immediate future, it’s heartening to know the Marvel Studios Disney+ series will, eventually, see the light of day. This BTS photo from “The Falcon and The Winter Soldier,” which teams Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan, comes from Stan himself and gives us the best look at Mackie’s new Falcon suit. And a day later, Mackie posted the photo Stan was taking in the above post: Following the events of “Avengers: Endgame,” Sam Wilson/Falcon (Anthony Mackie) and Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan) team up in a global…

This just in- it would appear that “Lovecraft Country” star Jonathan Majors is our first big piece of Marvel Studios casting in a looooong time. According to sources across the usual suspects, Majors will be joining “Ant-Man and The Wasp 3.” Deadline lead the reports of this news, and claim sources close to the project have mentioned the time-traveling Marvel Comics villain as the likely role for Majors. Kang could be the perfect way to bring the Fantastic Four and Doctor Doom into the existing Marvel Cinematic Universe, and we can’t wait to see what happens when he shows up…

Sure, we’ve all found creative ways to get around transporting our favorite adult beverages to various functions where it might be frowned upon, right? Right? Why are you giving us that look?Anyhow- Franzia Wine has announced a brilliant product to accompany one of their most popular offerings- box wine. Like an adult juice box that takes up most of the room in your fridge, box wine is almost a right of passage for parents and professionals alike. While not available RIGHT NOW (it’s listed as “coming soon” on their website), it’s certainly going on our shopping list. Here at Franzia,…

We are so so delighted this film is FINALLY coming out, and are very pleased to share with you the first teaser trailer for “The Trial of the Chicago 7,” from one of our absolute FAVORITE writers, Aaron Sorkin, who is also directing. What was intended to be a peaceful protest at the 1968 Democratic National Convention turned into a violent clash with police and the National Guard. The organizers of the protest—including Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, Tom Hayden and Bobby Seale—were charged with conspiracy to incite a riot and the trial that followed was one of the most notorious…

The Trump-imposed deadline for the sale of social media company TikTok’s operations in the United States is drawing ever closer, and it would appear that Microsoft will NOT be the new owner. According to an update from the software giant, ByteDance has turned down Microsoft’s proposal to acquire TikTok before September 15th. After that date, Trump claimed he would “ban the company” in the USA if it did not secure an American buyer. Microsoft says: ByteDance let us know today they would not be selling TikTok’s US operations to Microsoft. We are confident our proposal would have been good for…

Maybe it’s time to go through those tubs of gaming stuff you have packed away at your parent’s house, or under the bed, because a Pokémon box set just sold for a record amount.

We were absolutely delighted when word came last year that animated series “Animaniacs” was coming back for new episodes at Hulu. Original producer Steven Spielberg is also producing this reboot, which will consist of 13 episodes airing later this year, as well as a second season of 13 sometime in 2021.And today, the streaming service celebrated the landmark 27th anniversary of the series originally premiering with a sneak peek video of what’s to come with the reboot. Yes, the original voice cast is coming back, as well as additional characters Pinky and the Brain. Rob Paulson, Maurice LaMarche, Jess Harnell, and Tress MacNeille were all confirmed in…

We love Sacha Baron Cohen. Sure, his brand of humor isn’t always the best, but we respect the hell out of him for his various stances and positions he never backs down from across several subjects. Like that Freddie Mercury biopic Baron Cohen was going to be starring in alongside Lady Gaga. YEAH. We’re still mad we didn’t get THAT version, especially after the horribly bland (and oftentimes offensive) version we got from Bryan Singer that Dexter Fletcher valiantly tried to rescue. But perhaps the thing most folks know Baron Cohen from his is absolutely outrageous character, Borat. Imagine if…

So we just took a minute and counted up all the various Marvel Studios MCU releases….and its a lot. It was SUPPOSED to be a higher number, with “Black Widow” releasing this year as the 24th film, but….you now….*waves hands*. ANYHOW, we want to talk about Chris Hemsworth, and what he just told Elle Man about his future as Thor Odinson in the MCU. Namely, that Thor 4, “Thor: Love and Thunder,” will NOT be his last outing in the role. Hemsworth made sure he was VERY clear about his desire to continue as the God of Thunder, even with…
