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…

AMC has dropped a teaser for their new “Interview with the Vampire” series, based on the late Anne Rice’s works, just to get the blood flowing. Ahead of their San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) panel, they’ve given us just a glimpse of what’s to come.  The show is created by Rolin Jones, he’s probably best known for his work on “Weeds,” “Perry Mason” (the 2020 version), and “Boardwalk Empire.” Mark Johnson is serving as executive producer, and is best known for his work on “Breaking Bad,” “Better Call Saul,” and “Halt and Catch Fire.” The first season of “Interview with the…

Netflix takes to the high seas in their new animated film “The Sea Beast.” The film is written and directed by Chris Williams, who has previously helmed “Bolt”, “Big Hero 6” and co-directed “Moana.” Taking place in a world where mythical creatures roam the high seas, the movie follows a crew of creature hunters. Jacob Holland (voiced by Karl Urban) is first mate to famed Captain Crow (Jared Harris). The two are perpetually in search of their white whale, and by white whale we mean red whale-ish creature.  Their paths cross with young orphan Maisie Brumble (Zaris-Angel Hator) who idolizes…

Move over heroes with powers- Viola Davis is here with “The Woman King” to show y’all up. The trailer for the film just dropped, along with our jaws. Davis stars as General Nanisca, the leader of the Agojie, an all-female unit of warriors. Inspired by true events, the fighters protected the Kingdom of Dahomey in the 1800s from colonizers.  Dahomey was located in West Africa (present day Benin) and existed from about 1600 – 1904. It was oft frequented by European visitors and unfortunately became known as a major supplier of slaves. They would conquer neighboring societies and supply their…

Our favorite Kiwi returns to Asgard with “Thor: Love and Thunder”, and we couldn’t be happier! We’re of course referring to our favorite franchise helmer, Taika Waititi. He’s back for his second outing with the God(s?) of Thunder. The best part of the film is the gang’s all here again. Chris Hemsworth returns as the titular character. Waititi reprises his role as stalwart companion Korg. Tessa Thompson returns as Valkyrie, now King of new Asgard.  Listen on Apple Podcasts Of course the most celebrated return to the franchise is Natalie Portman who is back as Jane Foster, now Jane Thor.…
