Despite being a highly divisive series among fans, Disney+’s “Star Wars” series “Andor” is garnering some hefty critical praise. The Critics Choice Awards have announced their list of nominations for the best in television (traditional and streaming, although streaming sure seems to dominate) this morning. “Andor” nabbed two pretty big nominations. Diego Luna has been nominated for Best Actor in a Drama series, as well as “Andor” getting the nod for Best Drama series. The rest of the list is pretty expected; “Better Call Saul” across drama categories, “The Bear” and “Barry” honored in the comedy categories, but some good…

We are very sorry to share the news that Emmy winning actress Kirstie Alley has passed away. Probably best known for her role as Rebecca on the ever popular “Cheers,” Alley was a mainstay across comedy and television for decades. Her family confirmed her passing with a statement posted to Alley’s various social media accounts. While “Cheers” was a very popular series, many would recognize Alley best for her role in “Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.” She played Saavik, a Vulcan protégée of Spock. The part was later recast, but Alley’s performance is outstanding. She was 71.

Yes, Warner Bros. Pictures is still going to release the Ezra Miller-starring “The Flash” film.

We’ll let you know what we hear about this and other news.

Losing generational icons is never easy. Especially when it’s someone like Bob McGrath from the long-running children’s program, “Sesame Street.” McGrath joined the series at the very beginning in 1969. He played Bob Johnson, the second-longest reoccurring human character on the show, until 2016 when he left the series. (He did appear again a few times though.)Bob McGrath passed away on December 4th, 2022 at the age of 90. Some “Sesame Street” co-stars and The Muppets stars shared their grief. The Sesame Workshop also offered their collective thoughts on McGrath. Thank you so much for everything, Bob. You were one…

It’s been awhile since we heard anything official about Warner Bros. Pictures’ upcoming DC Studios project “Blue Beetle.” Obviously based on the DC Comics character, the film will star Xolo Maridueña (“Cobra Kai”) as Jaime Reyes, a Latino superhero! We’re also getting Harvey Guillén and Susan Sarandon, so it’s already shaping up to be a pretty interesting movie. This morning, co-head of DC Studios James Gunn shared the official poster for “Blue Beetle.” While it’s not a set release date, a confirmation of sometime in 2023 is also included. It’s been a pretty busy week for Gunn, with the first…

IT’S FINALLY HAPPENED. “Ted Lasso” writer and star Brett Goldstein has conducted perhaps the greatest interview of all time. If you were unaware, the Roy Kent actor loves The Muppets. I mean who doesn’t? But his love includes the AMAZING “The Muppet Christmas Carol,” which is the best adaptation of the Charles Dickens classic put to film. Goldstein has even performed a one-man medley of songs from the movie. Needless to say, he loves it. Entertainment Weekly managed to make a dream come true for Goldstein- he was able to interview the original cast of “The Muppet Christmas Carol” for…

Everyone’s favorite fedora-wearin’ whip-crackin’ adventurer is back in a 5th film. Harrison Ford, iconic star behind enduring cinematic characters like Han Solo and Indiana Jones, has returned. James Mangold is directing. John Williams has written new music for it. And an assembled supporting cast has us so freaking excited.

CONFIRMED with John Rhys-Davies returning as Sallah! There was also a poster released, and we kind of love…

When a film comes along with a title like “Cocaine Bear,” you know you’re in for some chaos. Pair that with it being a true story, and all white-powder hell is likely to break loose. It’s 1985. A drug runner’s plane has crashed, dropping lots of cocaine across a Georgia forest. A local 500lb black bear decides it smells interesting, eats it, and goes on a freaking rampage. Yeah, so, this isn’t like “Fargo’s” “This is a true story.” This ACTUALLY happened. Elizabeth Banks (“Charlie’s Angels,” “Pitch Perfect 2”) directs “Cocaine Bear” from a screenplay by Jimmy Warden (“The Babysitter:…
