What a difference a day can make. Just yesterday, August 6th, we reported that Uli Latukefu would be taking on the role of Ganondorf in the upcoming Legend of Zelda film. The villainous character is one of the more imposing figures in video game history. That news also came a year after the news about [...]

Ryan Murphy Talks “The Shards” – We Still Absolutely Hate It

When Bret Easton Ellis announced he was doing another book, my curiosity was piqued. That was back in the earlier part of the decade. COVID-19 was rampaging through the world and any kind of entertainment you could enjoy at home was a blessing. By the time his book, The Shards was released in January of [...]

Disney Boasts Big Streaming Gains in Q3 but Still Streamlining

Heath Andrews — Thu, 06 Aug 2026 03:34:35 +0000

We’d really like to know what the hell is going on over at Disney. For a company that is as omnipresent and historic as they are, they’ve made a lot of questionable calls. We’ve been talking about some of them recently. For example, there’s the strange decision to cancel Wonder Man before its second season [...]

Sopranos Actor Vincent Pastore Passes Away

Before we report on the passing of Vincent Pastore, we want to note that he was much more than just his role on The Sopranos. It’s highly likely that you saw Pastore in multiple projects whether it was on the big screen or the little. He was a character actor just as much as he [...]

Tilly Norwood Creator Claims She’s Creating More Jobs

Heath Andrews — Mon, 27 Jul 2026 14:45:28 +0000

Let’s get right down to it. We hate Tilly Norwood. Tilly’s been branded as the first AI actor by her creator, Eline Van der Velden. She’s not an actor. She’s an artificial intelligence that was built on the backs of learning algorithms that have, in turn, pulled from actual people’s works. The fact that she’s [...]

Review – King of the Hill Season 15 – Still the King

Heath Andrews — Thu, 23 Jul 2026 15:23:11 +0000

Last year, I raved about the quality of King of the Hill and its revival. Season 14 was absolutely stellar and a sign that revivals can actually work. The batch of ten episodes that premiered on Hulu was fresh and familiar in the best ways possible. They did what was seemingly impossible in today’s television [...]

Amazon Finally Greenlights Robocop Series

Heath Andrews — Thu, 23 Jul 2026 15:05:57 +0000

Well, it’s about fricken time! We’ve been talking about the developing Robocop series for years now. We’ve talked about it being developed, James Wan being attached to it, and Peter Ocko being a showrunner. Finally, we can report that the series is good to go for Amazon. We just hope Robocop hasn’t rusted in the [...]

Live-Action Disney, Tiana Film in the Works

Heath Andrews — Thu, 23 Jul 2026 14:59:14 +0000

Disney is having a roller coaster ride at the box office with its live-action remakes. While Lilo & Stitch did amazingly well, Moana is currently tanking hard, as of the time of this writing. And while Mufasa: The Lion King is technically “photorealistic” and not live action, it also did well for itself. But then [...]

From Soundstage Jungles to Sitcom Offices: The Art of Living Set Dressing

Brian Karlsson — Wed, 22 Jul 2026 15:47:10 +0000

As viewers, you’ll focus on the actors who speak the words when you see a character walking back and forth in a Manhattan courtyard in the pouring rain, or when you see them go from a row of flower pots to the other side of the store. However, off the stage, but working hard and [...]

Greek Tragedy – Ryan Hurst Suffers Role-Ending Injury on “God of War” Set

Alan Patricks — Sat, 18 Jul 2026 11:40:03 +0000

In a move that seems unprecedented, Ryan Hurst will lose his role as Kratos in Amazon’s God of War television series. Hurst tore his bicep on set in late June while performing his own stunts. Production was immediately put on hold to determine a plan moving forward. The nature of Hurst’s injury was a key [...]
