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. We’re talking of course about Star Tours, and the news that we’re getting NEW destinations from the recent Disney+ series. “Guests will have the opportunity to experience one of more than 250 storyline variations aboard the attraction, including a visit to the planet Peridea from the ‘Ahsoka’ series,” Disney Parks announced. “During their Starspeeder flight, guests may receive urgent transmissions from Ahsoka Tano, Cassian Andor, or Din Djarin and Grogu.” Also returning will be Hyperspace Mountain,…

We are absolutely DELIGHTED to share the news that some Disney+ original series are getting physical media releases! This news comes after reports confirmed Walt Disney Pictures was handing over their full physical media dept to Sony. It was a weird choice to be sure, but we were kinda hopeful this change would mean more shows and films making their way to actual discs to decorate shelves. The shows confirmed for release are “Star Wars” offshoots “Andor” and “Obi-Wan Kenobi,” as well as Marvel Studios series “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier,” and “Moon Knight.” Some interesting things to keep…

Okay, yes- this may or not be the third “Dune” related thing we’ve written about today. Not only is the world of Frank Herbert one of our favorite sci-fi fandoms out there, but we are smack-dab in the second coming. No literally, because Denis Villenueve’s “Dune: Part Two” officially hit theaters over the weekend, and we are firmly in the Duneaisannce. Which brings us to the brand-new trailer for Funcom’s upcoming MMO set on the desert planet of Arrakis. Described as a “rise from survival to dominance on the most dangerous planet in the universe,” the game combines the grit…

It’s hard to adapt such a tome as Frank Herbert’s massive, seminal work. Of course not every attempt is going to work, or be able to include every character, plot point, and/or ‘important’ moment. Sure, changes are necessary both to condense a novel, and to provide a full movie-going experience. But some changes and omissions are strange, especially after making such a big deal about casting of a character that wasn’t actually in the finished film. Filmmaker Denis Villeneuve is a superfan of “Dune,” no one can deny that. His love for the world of Arrakis and beyond is almost…

Back in July of 2020, Amazon’s Prime Video announced a big, epic television show based on an a beloved existing IP was in the works. No, not their “The Lord of the Rings” series “The Rings of Power” (that was as far back as 2017). But something a little more…post-apocalyptic. That is NOT HBO’s “The Last of Us,” or AMC’s still-going “The Walking Dead.” Bethesda’s “Fallout” video game series is sorta perfect for an adaptation, with the right guidance. With 6 main titles in the franchise- Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, Fallout 4 and Fallout 76- there is…

UPDATE After publishing the following article on March 1st, I received an email to my personal account from Alex Govoreanu, the CEO & Co-Founder of Questo. I will include both that email and my response, in which I offered to update this piece with any new information or media the company wished. There has been no response as of March 5th. We all get those weird sponsored ads on social media, right? A specialty pet food, a pair of themed socks for a show you’ve been binge watching. Or maybe you, like so many others, just got a sponsored ad…

You know what show was surprisingly great? MAX’s Emmy-winning “Hacks.” Further celebrating the greatness of the legendary Jean Smart, the series also has given us the gift of Hannah Einbinder. Together, they are Deborah Vance and Ava, a comedy…’team’…who have their ups and downs. We’ve been anxiously awaiting news of season 3, and thankfully we have it! Guest stars for season 3 include Helen Hunt, Christina Hendricks, Christopher Lloyd, comedian George Wallace, Tony Goldwyn, and Dan Bucatinsky.Yes, we’ll also be seeing the return of co-creator Paul W. Downs, Megan Stalter, Carl Clemons-Hopkins, Kaitlin Olson, Christopher McDonald, Mark Indelicato, Rose Abdoo,…
