This is one of those things we saw bubbling this past year….William Shatner, Captain James Tiberius Kirk himself, has been pondering via his always lively Twitter account about the legitimacy and usefulness of the newest branch of the United States of America’s military- Space Force. Not to be confused for the Netflix comedy series of the same name (that actually has a trademark claim that predates the USA’s) starring Steve Carrell and John Malkovich, Space Force leaves many of us wondering what the hell. Shatner, never a man to mix words, decided to take his quandaries all the way to…

Season 2 of “His Dark Materials” just got another pretty gorgeous teaser from HBO and HBO Max, which ALSO shares that the show will return sometime in November 2020. Based on Phillip Pullman’s bestselling trilogy, “His Dark Materials” season 2 looks to adapt novel The Subtle Knife. Lyra (Daphne Keen) ventures to her first world beyond her own, and meets another dimensional traveler, the young Will Parry (Amir Wilson), who becomes her companion for the rest of the series. As Lyra’s destiny is intertwined with the Golden Compass, Will’s is to possess the Subtle Knife, a blade so sharp it can…

While we’re still DESPERATELY trying to forget the absolutely horrible 11th season of FOX’s mainstay supernatural drama series “The X-Files,” we’re now also scratching our heads as to why someone is developing an animated spinoff of said show. Seriously. Did….did you guys not SEE that travesty that was season 11? It was unforgivable. HOWEVER- this animated series will have Rocky Russo and Jeremy Sosenko (Netflix’s Paradise PD) will pen the pilot. The pair will also serve as executive producers alongside Carter (WHO IS NOT WRITING OR SHOWRUNNING, THANK GODS) and Gabe Rotter. Animation studio Bento Box will handle the art. Reportedly, it’ll…

If you know anything about us, it’s that we’ve been anxiously anticipating Denis Villeneuve’s upcoming “Dune” adaptation for Warner Bros. Pictures since the day it was announced.One of our absolute favorite science fiction franchises out there, (seriously, it’s my personal equivalent of Star Wars, and I freaking love Star Wars too) this is one of those titles we’re REALLY hoping gets the love and respect it so richly deserves. Anyhow, here are the three amazing EMPIRE Magazine covers for their September issue which you can order here. The new issue of Empire is a major world-exclusive, going on set of Villeneuve’s ambitious…

Hell has indeed frozen over, and “The New Mutants” has actually released in theaters (kinda). The most surprising part? IT. DOESN’T. SUCK.

Even though we’re not getting to have our in-person events this year, some of the notable conventions are still providing their exclusives. San Diego Comic Con did their At Home online releases (and so did the various high ranking companies like Hasbro and Mattel), and now we know what Star Wars Celebration has to offer! The official Celebration online store is open now for browsing, but not for purchasing yet. That’ll happen on August 28th for Celebration ticket holders at noon EST, and then on August 31st at noon for the public. Some highlights that we REALLY really want include:…

This just in from our friends at Netflix- we ARE getting a live action television series based on Capcom’s “Resident Evil” franchise! Confirmed this morning officially, we first reported on this possibility back in January of 2019 with Constantin Film at the helm of a possible film reboot. This isn’t that.Apparently the series will have a 8-episode first season. Directly from the official Netflix “Resident Evil” press release: Building on one of the most popular, best selling survival horror video games of all time, Resident Evil will tell a brand new story across two timelines:In the first timeline, fourteen-year-old sisters…

We know you’ve probably already got your week’s viewing planned out, because Covid-19. BUT, there is something you absolutely have to watch on Disney+ before it gets pulled. “The Mouseketeers At Walt Disney World” is completely batsh*t ridiculous 70’s fare that we can’t wrap our heads around. Released in 1977, the 56 minutes slice of Florida fever dream even has commercials from the time period (which may or may not be a mistake that they’ll fix?). Seriously. We cannot get over this. You’ve got to watch it. “The Moustketeers of the New Mickey Mouse Club arrive at Walt Disney World…

This is one of those extremely strange things that finds its way across our desk due to friends knowing our love of….stuff. We feel you also need to experience this oddity- TOBACCO’s new music video for the song “Babysitter,” which features Oscar winning Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor and Falkor the Luck Dragon from “The Neverending Story.” Yeah. You read that right- freaking Falkor. The stuff of NIGHTMARES. Imagine you film a music video completely made up of footage your home security camera picked up. And, included in that footage happens to be a large ghostly face of the…

Unless you were completely unplugged from the internet this past weekend, chances are you saw several of the trailers released during DC FanDome. The two biggest (although we really did love “Wonder Woman 1984”) were “Zack Snyder’s Justice League,” and Matt Reeves’ “The Batman.”If you’ll recall, the road for filmmaker Zack Snyder’s director’s cut of Warner Bros. Pictures DC Comics superhero team-up film has been a long and loud one. Fans have been clamoring to get this particular version of “Justice League” released since the Joss Whedon-completed flick hit theaters. The release of the first trailer for his cut was…
