Nicolas Cage has delivered a truly wonderful gift to us all with this first look as him playing Nick Cage in “The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent.” Today Lionsgate has released six glorious stills from the upcoming movie and we have to say we’re even more excited than we were before.  In these first looks Cage seems to be living his best life opposite Pedro Pascal. Pascal plays a Nick Cage superfan (not an acting stretch for most of us) who offers the fictionalized Cage $1 million to appear at his upcoming birthday party. Cage is then recruited by the…

It’s probably rarely sunny in “Welcome to Wrexham,” and that’s okay! Rob McElhenney (“Mythic Quest”) and Ryan Reynolds have debuted another trailer for their upcoming FX series. This time we get some pretty familiar faces as the cast of “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” are confronted with their Welsh counterparts. It’s like a Cymry version of “Mirror Mirror.”  The docuseries will follow the Wrexham football club. Both McElhenney and Reynolds bought ownership stakes in the club in February of 2021. Their goal is to document (and hopefully help inspire) the Red Dragons and their surrounding community. They hope to help…

“Star Trek: Discovery” fans outside of the US can breathe a sigh of relief. The series has struck a deal to make season 4 available internationally. Originally, international distribution was being handled by Netflix. However after season 3, ViacomCBS (which owns the rights to “Star Trek: Discovery”) pulled the show from international broadcast. They didn’t announce a return plan for the series. This understandably united Trek fans across the globe in frustration. Thankfully now people will still be able to follow the hope that is you… we mean the crew of the Discovery. In countries where Paramount+ is available the…

From the get go, Ridley Scott’s “House of Gucci” is a wild sloppy mess. At best, it is a comically exaggerated Italian telenovela. At its worst, a droll and bloated exaggerated Italian telenovela. We get Lady Gaga doing her best Mario Brothers impression. Any time a film starts with characters presumably meant to be speaking another language (in this case Italian) but actually speaking heavily accented English you know we’re probably in for a chaotic time.  Gaga stars as Patrizia Reggiani, a middle class young woman with dreams of a greater life. She soon meets Maurizio Gucci, played by a…

Legendary director Hayao Miyazaki is coming out of retirement to make one more film for Studio Ghibli. He originally announced he was working on a new project in 2017. In a recent New York Times interview, we got a cryptic update that it’s still underway. Though the auteur has retired a few times before – one of those work pauses led to “Spirited Away” – the filmmaker has decided he has at least one more feature left in him.  In 2013 he retired again, this time for a longer bout. Yet he clearly couldn’t keep away. For those unaware Miyazaki…

You don’t have to beg here (or more) because we’ve finally got the “MacGruber” premiere date! Based on Will Forte’s “Saturday Night Live” character, the series picks up after the 2010 feature film of the same name left off.  MacGruber (played by Forte) was last seen behind bars after saving the nation in a style only MacGruber can. He had just saved the world from Dieter Von Cunth (played by Val Kilmer). After dealing with Cunth in a spectacular way, MacGruber has spent the last decade in prison. Peacock also released this check in with MacGruber from prison. Upon his…

For those who don’t believe in (or prefer) the naughty list, “Santa Inc.” just might be for you. The animated show looks like a Rankin-Bass classic, but the dialogue is more at home in a Seth Rogen film. Which is why it’s perfect that Rogen is playing Santa Claus himself.  The HBO Max series follows the elf Candy Smalls (voiced by Sarah Silverman) who wants to dismantle the hegemonic white patriarchy that has ruled the north pole for so long. The North Pole is asking itself who will be Saint Nick’s successor. She and her friends Goldie (an openly bisexual…

The final trailer for Guillermo Del Toro’s “Nightmare Alley” has materialized, and it has us somewhat intrigued. The teaser was a mere imagery salad of noiresque carnival imagery. This latest trailer gives us a bit more of a look at the cast and two of our main players.  Based on the novel by William Lindsay Gresham, Bradley Cooper stars as Stanton Carlisle. In this final trailer he’s a self purported true medium. It seems he will get drawn into a web of intrigue by Cate Blanchett’s Lilith Ritter. The novel has already been adapted once for the screen in 1947.…
