It’s the kickoff of award nomination season! This morning, the list of possible future Emmy winners were revealed. Sheryl Lee Ralph and Tony Hale announced the nominees on July 17th, 2024. One of the nods we were VERY excited to see was a Best Actor in a Drama nomination for Walton Goggins for Prime Video’s “Fallout.” The series also received a Best Drama nomination. FX’s “The Bear” set a new record for nominations in a single year in the Comedy category with 23 (previously held by “30 Rock” with 22 nominations in 2009). “Shōgun” lead the Drama category with 25 nominations. LIMITED OR…

After months- wait, YEARS of complaining about living and doing business in California, Elon Musk has had enough. He has vowed to move the headquarters of social media platform X (formerly Twitter) and SpaceX from California to Texas. X’s main offices will move from San Francisco to Austin, and SpaceX from Hawthorne to Starbase, TX.This move was prompted by Governor Gavin Newsom (D-Calif.) signing a new law that bars school districts in CA from notifying parents of a child’s gender identification change. We’re not making that up- that’s the actual reason Musk gave. It’s worth noting that Musk shares a…

At long last, Lady Deadpool will make her big film debut! The blonde pony-tailed Deadpool variant has a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it slowmo introduction in the newest teaser for “Deadpool & Wolverine.” Also, you know- Dogpool! “Deadpool & Wolverine”  is under the direction of Shawn Levy, who worked with Ryan Reynolds on “The Adam Project” and “Free Guy.” Levy also worked with co-star Hugh Jackman on “Real Steel.” Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, who wrote the scripts for the first and second films, are back this time, too. No word on who’s playing Lady Deadpool. We know Emma Corrin (“The Crown“) and Matthew Macfayden (“Succession“) have joined the cast. As well as legacy cast Jennifer Garner as Elektra,…

Okay there are times when a movie, show, or band does a big collaboration with another brand, and it doesn’t make sense. This is NOT one of those times, as industrial mainstays Nine Inch Nails has an official line of Dr. Martens! Talk about the perfect collab. The line is to celebrate the 30th (I’m sorry, WHAT?!) anniversary of seminal NIN album, “The Downward Spiral.” “This collaboration just makes so much sense,” John Crawford, NIN’s creative director, said. “Not just because of the countless fans I’ve seen wearing Dr. Martens at NIN concerts over the years (myself included), but because…

It’s coming. The final season of The Duffer Brothers’ hit Netflix series, “Stranger Things.” It’s been a long road for the show, which first premiered in 2016. With a cast of mostly young actors, fans have been able to see the cast grow over almost 10 years together. Netflix has release the first look at season 5 with a behind the scenes video. We get glimpses of what’s to come in the 5th and final season, and we’re not ready for it to be over!”Stranger Things” seasons 1-4 are currently streaming on Netflix. Season 5 is expected to hit sometime…

If you haven’t seen the now viral videos of Disneyland Paris’ astounding drone display for Bastille Day, you need to! Disneyland Paris just set the Guinness World Records title for orchestrating the “largest aerial display of a fictional character formed by multirotors / drones.” There were 1,571 drones used during the July 14th show. Check out this awesome 4K video:

We are very sorry to report the passing of “90210” star Shannen Doherty. The actress lost her battle with cancer on Saturday, July 13th. This news was confirmed by Doherty’s longtime rep, Leslie Sloane.Writer/director/actor Kevin Smith penned a tribute to the late actress, who he credits with allowing his third film, “Mallrats,” being made at all. “Shannen was a true talent and she became a good friend, but lest anyone forget, she was the only reason Mallrats got green-lit in 1995,” Smith wrote. “That’s because Shannen was one of the most famous people on the planet – and the fact…

We are very sorry to share the news that fitness icon Richard Simmons has passed away. The news was first reported by TMZ, who claim police sources. According to the outlet, “police and fire responded to a call from his housekeeper just before 10 AM Saturday and pronounced him dead at the scene.” They also mention they were told no foul play is suspected at this time.Even if you weren’t a fan, there’s no denying his infectious enthusiasm for living life to it’s fullest. Simmons was 76.

We just wanted to take a minute to remember the late great Shelley Duvall. While she is probably best known as Jack’s tortured wife Wendy in Stanley Kubrick’s seminal “The Shining,” she was also a pioneer of children’s television. We say this because a lot of people have never heard of, let alone seen, any episodes of “Shelley Duvall’s Faerie Tale Theatre.” The 27-episode anthology series first premiered in 1982, and ran for 6 seasons. Every episode would begin with Duvall introducing herself, and giving a brief synopsis of the classic fairy tale the episode would be telling. The truly…

If there’s anyone who should be allowed to complain about uses of symbols from their works, it’s George R. R. Martin (GRRM). Specifically, the use of the wrong sigil for House Targaryen in HBO’s “House of the Dragon.” Here we have the Targaryen house sigil from “Game of Thrones” on the left, and the “House of the Dragon” version on the right. If you look closely, the left has one distinct curl in it’s tail, while the right has two. Likewise, the left side has two legs, but the right has four. This was enough of a difference to make…
