Viewership for Amazon’s “Paper Girls” series apparently didn’t meet expectations. Prime Video announced it would not be getting a second season on the streamer, so the series is going to be shopped around by Legendary Pictures to see if it can find a different home to continue at. While unfortunate, this isn’t surprising as “Paper Girls” didn’t receive as much of a push as other shows on Prime that probably overshadowed it, like “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.” The show was based off the short comic series written by Brian K. Vaughan and drawn by Cliff…

Jodie Turner-Smith is going to be entering the High Republic of “Star Wars” in “The Acolyte.” A series from Leslye Headland (“Russian Doll”), the show is said to be a mystery thriller for the universe far, far away.

Turner-Smith is a great choice, as she is a three-time NAACP Image Awards nominee who has had experience playing various roles including one with Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) himself in “White Noise.” The High Republic era of the Star Wars universe is when the Galactic Republic was at…

We’ve had various uses of chicken or ground beef, and bringing cancelled sauces back from the dead after an outcry from “Rick and Morty” fans (Szechuan sauce).

Fans of the “Resident Evil” series might recall George Romero was originally attached to direct the first feature length film way back in the 1990s. An assistant of Romero’s played through the entire first game on the original PlayStation while taking notes to help him draft a script for the project. After he was done creating a gory narrative that stayed relatively true to the video games story, Capcom was not happy with the results and neither was Constantine Films. So, they decided to go with Paul W.S. Anderson instead, and retool his zombie film “The Undead” into a “Resident…

In a world where it’s easy to slam actors for their performances through social media, it should come as no surprise that the Amazon Prime show “The Boys” had faced similar toxicity. Erin Moriarty, who plays superhero Starlight, has spoken about the prejudices she’s faced online, saying she felt “dehumanized” and “silenced” by the constant hate. “I do feel paralyzed. I’ve put blood, sweat and tears into this role…this does break my heart — I’ve opened up a vein for this role and the misogynistic trolling is exactly what this role would speak out against,” her post on Instagram reads.…
