We’re pretty excited to report that the much beloved Superman radio serials are making a comeback, thanks to someone at Warner Bros. discovering the lost scripts. Announced as part of DC FanDome Day 2, the audio drama has a pretty fabulous sounding cast, and we can’t wait to hear it!  Previous Superman voice actor Tim Daly is on board for at least one of the episodes, as are Daniel Dae Kim (“LOST,” “Hawaii 5-0”) and Wilson Cruz (“Star Trek: Discovery”)! While we’re not sure on specific roles these folks are playing, take a gander at the rest of the vocal talent on board:…

We’re pretty pissed off, we’re not gonna line. Two of our absolute FAVORITE bands were set to be inducted into the 2020 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame class- Nine Inch Nails and Depeche Mode. Unfortunately, a worldwide pandemic had other plans, waylaying the time honored tradition of a big giant ceremony with live performances for a….special, which will air on HBO later this year. ALSO, 2020 would’ve been the organization’s 25th anniversary. So….big giant party, you guys. In a normal year, the Rock Hall goes ALL OUT for their induction ceremonies, asking each of the honorees to pick someone…

When we woke up this morning, we didn’t think it would be to the reminder that 2020 will see Nintendo’s trademark hero/game turning 35, but here we are.

The presentation, which you can watch here, covered several upcoming planned releases from the company. There is anthology title Super Mario 3D All-Stars (trailer here), which will include optimized versions of Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, and Super Mario Galaxy for Nintendo Switch. There will be a limited run of Super Mario 3D All-Stars, starting with a…

You know that thing where longest-running primetime scripted series “The Simpsons” accurately predicts things sometimes DECADES before they happen? Things like fixing a budget deficit left by President Donald Trump in the episode “Bart To The Future,” or global flu pandemic AND murder hornets in the same episode “Marge in Chains,” and our current favorite- Kevin Costner defending “The Postman,” which happened in episode “Monty Can’t Buy Me Love.” Kinda. Currently ranking at a whopping 8% on Rotten Tomatoes, “The Postman” chronicles the post-apocalyptic heroics of Costner in the title role of a man who takes it upon himself to deliver mail…

We’re still absolutely heartbroken that Comedy Central made the pretty dumb decision to cancel one of their last remaining originally scripted series, “Drunk History.” The hilarious (and highly educational) show from creator/host Derek Waters had already been renewed for a seventh season, when without warning, the cable network changed their minds and pulled the plug. Waters said he wasn’t even informed of the decision by anyone from Comedy Central- he seems to have found out via Twitter. He told Variety: “It sounds a little dramatic, but it’s like a funeral without any music. I would love to finish what I…
