We have some bad news for fans of MAX’s very queer piratical series, “Our Flag Means Death.” It’s sad news, and our crew is pretty heartbroken. The series, which starred Rhys Darby and Taika Waititi as real-life pirates Edward Teach aka Blackbeard and Stede Bonnet aka The Gentleman Pirate, recently ended it’s run. Many fans were hopeful the show would find a new home following MAX’s decision *cough* David Zaslav *cough* to cancel it. Hope for that, however, seems to be unfairly squashed. Creator David Jenkins posted an update to his personal Instagram account, and it’s not what we were…

Hugh Grant is really having a grand time right now. From being a key character in the recent “Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Amongst Thieves” film to playing an Oompa Loompa in the recent “Wonka” film, this Englishman is no stranger to…odd roles. This is what brings us to the news that he’ll have a role in Jerry Seinfeld’s “Unfrosted: The Pop-Tarts Story,” and we really weren’t expecting it. “Set in Michigan in 1963: Kellogg’s and Post, sworn cereal rivals, race to create a pastry that will change the face of breakfast forever,” the film’s official logline reads. “A tale of…

We are very sorry to share the news that manga artist and co-creator of the ever popular “Dragon Ball” series Akira Toriyama has passed away. While “Dragon Ball” and its various entries were by far the most well-known of Toriyama’s works, he was also created the “Dr. Slump” manga series, and co-created “Dragon Quest.”The news was announced by the official DB website. A statement posted reads as follows: “Dear Friends and Partners, We are deeply saddened to inform you that manga creator Akira Toriyama passed away on March 1st due to acute subdural hematoma. He was in age of 68.It’s…

After almost 10 years, we are about to re-enter the wonderful world of the Wasteland. From the mind of Dr. George Miller comes a prequel to his incredible opus, “Mad Max: Fury Road.” Focusing on the Imperator turned liberator, “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga” tells the tale of the young resident of the Green Place and her rise to power at the Citadel under warlord Immortan Joe. Empire Magazine just revealed two special covers for their upcoming issue, which will dive deep into the film. Also, they included a never-before-seen image from the upcoming film! Anya Taylor-Joy stars as the…

We’ve been waiting for this trailer for a very, very long time. With South By Southwest kicking off today, it comes as no surprise that the official trailer for Prime Video’s live-action adaptation of Bethesda Softworks’ highly popular “Fallout” games is finally here. Sure, we’ve had some pretty good teasers, but this is a full 3-minutes and change look at the show has in store for fans. “Fallout” is the story of haves and have-nots in a world in which there’s almost nothing left to have. 200 years after the apocalypse, the gentle denizens of luxury fallout shelters are forced…

Mere hours after the jury met to decide the fate of “Rust” armorer Hannah Gutierrez Reed, a verdict has been announced. Reed has been convicted of involuntary manslaughter in the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, who lost her life in the on-set shooting that took place October 21st, 2021. Reed was acquitted of a separate charge of tampering with evidence. Jurors had to agree Gutierrez Reed acted with “willful disregard for the safety of others” and that the death was a “foreseeable” consequence of her actions. Reed will be sentenced sometime in April. She faces up to 18 months in prison.Alec…

Prime Video’s upcoming “Fallout” television series based on Bethesda’s hugely popular video games is coming VERY, very soon. While we’ve had a handful of photos and one teaser trailer, we’ve really been hoping for some additional looks at the show. The official social media accounts for the show just teased something coming tomorrow, using a familiar Voice from the Outer World, aka Kyle MacLachlan. (That’s a David Lynch’s “Dune” reference, kids.) “Hello fellow Vault 33 dwellers. Vault 33 is the place to be! And here’s something to make you feel even better about your post-apocalyptic selection. Tomorrow, we’ll be giving you…

I very much don’t like to judge someone or shame someone for their fandoms. Reading is important, having favorite films is great, and sharing a love of something with friends is essential. But when that thing is “Twilight,” I feel I’m allowed to sigh and shake my head. The series about angsty teens, vampires, and werewolves was written by Stephanie Meyer, and spawned four highly grossing films. It also inspired a slew of fanfic, including but not limited to, “50 Shades of Grey.” It also changed San Diego Comic-Con forever, but that’s a different thing entirely. In 2023, news of…

This just in-the long-awaited and pretty well received live-action adaptation of Netflix’s “Avatar: The Last Airbender” has been renewed. Not only will it return for a second season, but, it will also be getting a third. The downside to this is season 3 will reportedly be it’s last. As always, it’s good when a show and creators have a known end time, so they can write/plan for it. But at the same time, if things are going well, who’s to say they can’t continue? The show stars Gordon Cormier, Kiawentiio, Ian Ousley, Dallas Liu, Ken Leung, Paul Sun-Hyung Lee, and…

The Season of the Force is returning to Disneyland this spring, and with it comes new updates to one of the most beloved attractions.
