After watching Apple TV+’s “Luck,” we feel like we are the cursed ones. The new animated film centers around a just turned adult woman named Sam Greenfield (Eva Noblezada) who is “the unluckiest person in the world.” She meets a magical cat (voiced by Simon Pegg doing his best Craig Ferguson impression). What ensues is an excruciating 1 hour 37 minute “adventure” taking one through the land of Luck.  The film feels more like a series of Rube Goldberg machine-esque or overly choreographed sequences strung together. Sam’s bad luck seems to manifest in the form of physical clumsiness more often…

Those familiar with Neil Gaiman’s “The Sandman” may have thought an on-screen adaptation not possible. Gaiman, Allan Heinberg, and David S. Goyer are here to prove to us that dreams can come true. The key word when it comes to the Netflix series is “adaptation” for it is not exactly the same as the comic. We believe that the best on-screen transformations bring something of their own to the story. Listen on Apple Podcasts One of the most noticeable changes from the original comic run is that the series now takes place in the 2020s. Though the inciting incidents still…

Marvel Studios was back at Comic-Con in fine form with a bevy of announcements.

The San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) “Sandman” panel began on a high as Neil Gaiman said it feels “Really good. Really really really good” to have his characters finally brought to life on screen after all this time. “I’m a fan, I love what we’ve done” gushed the author. We proceeded to learn more about the process of bringing everyone on board. The panel included stars Tom Sturridge (he/him), Gwendoline Christie (she/her), Vivienne Acheampong (she/her), Boyd Holbrook (he/him), Kirby Howell-Baptiste (she/her), Mason Alexander Park (they/them), Jenna Coleman (she/her), Vanesu Samunyai (she/her), Patton Oswalt (he/him) and Creator/Executive Producer Gaiman (he/him) and Showrunner/Executive…

Marvel is investing in more animated projects which they revealed the release dates their upcoming Disney+ projects. Returning for another season is “Marvel’s What If…?” which explores alternate timelines of our favorite heroes. That will return in early 2023. We also got a release date for the much anticipated “X-Men ‘97.” It’ll be coming to Disney+ in fall of 2023. The announcement we were most excited for is “Spider-Man: Freshman Year,” which will be hitting the streaming platform in 2024. “Spider-Man: Freshman Year” was announced during Disney+ Day and will follow Peter Parker prior to what we’ve seen of him…

Po is back in “Kung Fu Panda: The Dragon Knight!” We chatted with executive producers and showrunners Peter Hasting and Shaunt Nigoghossian about the lovable ursidae’s return to the small screen.  The series picks up after the exploits of his feature film adventures, as well as the series, “Kung Fu Panda: The Paws of Destiny.” Jack Black returns to voice the titular Ailuropoda melanoleuca. Also returning to the franchise is James Hong as Po’s adopted father, Mr. Ping! Black did not serve as the voice for a few projects so it’s nice to hear him bring his energy back to…

If a (nearly) nude Christopher Meloni can’t motivate you to join Peloton, we aren’t quite sure what will. The brand which initially gained fame through their at home bikes and subscription classes, is no stranger to being in the cultural zeitgeist (for good and bad reasons). They’ve been on quite a roller coaster of commercials – from the 2019 commercial featuring a woman possibly trapped in a horror story. To the Ryan Reynolds-produced, Chris Noth-starring “And Just Like That”  response one. (That one was pulled quickly due to Noth being accused of sexual assault.) Now Peloton is proving they aren’t…

The story of “Where the Crawdads Sing” seems to pale in comparison to some of the real life drama surrounding author Delia Owens.

Keanu Reeves will be part of something way faster than 50mph, as it looks like he’ll be hosting a new docuseries focusing on Formula 1. The series, which is currently sans title, is going to focus on Formula 1 managing director Ross Brawn. While it’s yet to be confirmed, it looks like the series might land at Disney+. Netflix has their own series, “Formula 1: Drive to Survive,” which focuses on drivers, managers, and team owners. It certainly helped open up the already massive sport to a new audience. Now it looks like Reeves wishes to continue that momentum. Brad…

We got a chance to chat to “The Sea Beast” writer/director Chris Williams about the greatest cinematic action heroes, orphaned animated leads, and how an audience gains ownership of a film once it’s out in the wild. It’s clear from the get go that Williams is a huge fan of action, one of his major inspirations is George Miller’s Mad Max character. There is also a huge amount of Harrison Ford’s Indiana Jones DNA infused into the film. Bringing the thrill of his formative childhood franchises to an animated film is not new to Williams, but this is definitely his…
