Ah yes, the days of the internet before TikTok. What ever did we do with ourselves? Well, if you’re of a certain age, chances are you watched A LOT of Homestar Runner dot com offerings. (That’s where the iconic rock hit “Trogdor” comes from, kids.)

This just in- a completed series we were REALLY excited for, that Disney+ passed on, WILL see the light of day! “Nautilus,” which will be a prequel of sorts for “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea” all about one Captain Nemo, has been saved by AMC. “Nautilus is a big, sweeping drama that is sure to appeal to fans of our Anne Rice Immortal Universe and other buzzy and fan-forward series like Orphan Black: Echoes,” Ben Davis, EVP of original programming for AMC Networks and AMC Studios said in a statement. “We are looking forward to bringing it to AMC+ and AMC as…

What would the tail end of spooky season be without one more classic horror property getting a new adaptation? We’re speaking of course about today’s news that Amazon MGM Studios is eyeing “Poltergeist” for a tv series. The classic film from director Tobe Hooper and producer Steven Spielberg has long been a favorite. It starred Craig T. Nelson and JoBeth Williams as the Freelings, who had to deal with their brand-new housing development being built on a Native burial ground. There was an attempt at a reboot in 2015 starring Sam Rockwell, which was disappointing to say the least. At…

Hollywood and beyond is still in a state of shock following the tragic passing of author and actor, Matthew Perry. While best known for his role of Chandler Bing on hit sitcom “FRIENDS,” Perry was also an accomplished dramatic actor with stints on “The West Wing,” among other projects. His biggest role, in his own words, was his activism to help friends find and keep sobriety. Perry himself struggled with addiction and substance abuse for much of his adult life. He was always very open and honest about it, and was the first person to offer a safe space for…

We wanna start by saying we don’t REALLY think there was anything nefarious at work in Joe Russo’s recent post. Joe Russo is one half of the Russo Brothers (Joe and Anthony), best known for “Community,” and a little thing called Marvel Studios’ box office shattering releases. So, you know, PROBABLY snark and comedy rather than anger and one-upmanship. Decorated American director Martin Scorsese has not held back with his feelings re: superhero films. He’s acknowledged them as sort of snack food for the masses, but lacking true artistry and heart of what cinema is meant to be. This of…
