We’ve had a lot to say about Saturday Night Live in the last year or two. It’s not shocking, really. The series recently wrapped its 51st season and started a UK spin-off. It remains an ever-evolving part of the television landscape. Part of that evolution comes from the constantly changing cast. Unless you’re Keenan Thompson, [...]

Believe it or not its been almost four and a half years since The Batman hit theaters. The Matt Reeves-directed version of the Bat starred Robert Pattinson in the titular role. Strong reviews and a tidy box office profit ensured more films would be on the way. That’s still the case, but we’ve been waiting [...]

Boy howdy, you wouldn’t believe how complicated copyrights are. For some reason, the world of horror is filled with copyright disputes. We’ve covered legal suits about the mask from Scream and the ownership of Friday the 13th. Even the rights to Tremors was a complicated mess we covered. Compared to all that, the issue around [...]

It’s a sad day for the world. We’ve lost one of our greatest, and perhaps most underrated, actors, Sam Neill. He will be remembered by many, and most children of the ’90s, as Alan Grant in Jurassic Park. That role might be his most iconic. It’s also just a glimpse into the talent of a [...]

If you’re of a certain age, then when you read the headline of this article, you had one thought. “That pretty much sounds like that movie, Super Size Me.” You’d be right, it does sound like that. This looks to be a bit different, though. For starters, Super Size Me was about eating at McDonald’s [...]

Rob Reiner Takes a Posthumous Turn as George Washington

Heath Andrews — Thu, 09 Jul 2026 12:48:15 +0000

Losing Rob Reiner was a blow to the stomach that we’re still reeling from. The incredibly talented actor turned director gave us so many wonderful moments on film. It’s his former job as an actor, though, that is giving him one final chance to give us some laughs. More than that, it’s allowing him to [...]

Comcast Splitting with NBCUniversal and What That Means

Heath Andrews — Mon, 29 Jun 2026 20:14:28 +0000

This is not the first time we’ve had to report on something like this. The world of media ownership has been changing drastically in the last few years. While we’ve seen acquisitions and mergers like Skydance buying Paramount. And then going on to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD). Of course, WBD had its own story [...]

Opinion: Hollywood Needs to Stop Reviving the Wrong Franchises

Heath Andrews — Mon, 29 Jun 2026 13:36:09 +0000

When the advertisements for 2026’s Masters of the Universe first started happening, my immediate thought was, “Who’s asking for this?” “MOTU” is a well-known property for sure, but no one has really been screaming to bring it back. It’s actually had several revival attempts over the years, but none of them really took hold. Neither [...]
