A New ReBoot Series May Be On Its Way, And It’s Not A Reboot

The creators of the beloved, Canadian, and CG-animated cartoon have announced that they’re finally making a new ReBoot series, and I find it quite appropriate that although details are scarce, it sounds like it’ll take place in the exact same world of the original! It’s titled ReBoot: The Guardian Code, and Rainmaker animation studio president…

Bad Lip-Reading Turns Hunger Games: Catching Fire Into Musical Mayhem

There aren’t many things that would get me to stop watching the new Force Awakens trailer over and over again, but a new Bad Lip-Reading is one of them. This time they bring Katniss’ complete insanity and the cast’s penchant for breaking into song to the forefront, and it’s as hilariously ridiculous as usual. This…

The Star Wars: The Force Awakens Teaser Trailer Is Here!

The wait is over, and a whole new saga has begun. Here’s your first glimpse at the future of the Star Wars galaxy! And here it is on YouTube as a back-up (iTunes was having some problems earlier. I can’t imagine why):

The New Jem And The Holograms Look Reasonably Outrageous (Updated!)

When IDW’s new Jem and the Holograms comic arrives in March, the princesses of pop-rock will be sporting a brand new style, courtesy of artist Ross Campbell. Check out the cover for the first issue! Update: The cover is new but the sketches below are actually Campbell’s older fan art of the Jem characters. They…

Star Wars: The Force Awakens Trailer Will Be Available Online Tomorrow

Oh thank the Maker. After a great deal of posturing that they were only going to release the trailer for one of the most anticipated movies of all time in a mere handful of theaters, Disney has finally admitted — or relented — that the Star Wars Episode VII trailer will be available online tomorrow,…

​The Harrison Wells Mystery Deepens In A Charged Episode Of The Flash

Notice I swapped my usual running metaphor headline for an electricity pun? This isn’t because this week’s episode featured an Electro-esque freak o’ the week. No, I’m feeling jovial because after last week’s stinker, The Flash is back on track, courtesy of one Mr. Harrison Wells. I had expected “Power Outage” to be a regular…

Why We’ll Never Get A Justice League/ Avengers Movie

Greetings, my zealots of zip codes! Thanksgiving is tomorrow, and we denizens of the post-apocalypse still sit around a big meal and give thanks. For instance, I’m particularly grateful I’m no longer imprisoned by those horrible sentient apes. I’m also thankful roast ape tastes a bit like pork. Letter time! A League of Their Own…

​Acclaimed Anime Director Satoshi Kon’s Magnum Opus Is Here!

When Satoshi Kon died in 2010 at the age of 46, he left behind a small but brilliant legacy of anime masterpieces like Paprika and Perfect Blue. But before he was a filmmaker, he was a manga artist, and finally Dark Horse is bringing Kon’s comic Opus to America for the first time! New Issues…

The New Doctor Who Christmas Special Has A Title And First Promo Pic

The BBC has announced the title of this year’s Doctor Who Christmas special will be “Last Christmas,” perhaps a point in favor of the rumors that it will be Jenna Coleman’s final outing as the Twelfth Doctor’s companion Clara. Maybe Nick Frost’s Santa Claus will hitch a ride on the TARDIS for a while, hmm?…

Peter And Hook Are BFFs In The Bizarre First Trailer For Pan

Since everybody’s freaking out about the Jurassic World trailer, almost no one’s paying attention to the first trailer for Joe Wright’s strange Peter Pan prequel movie. I don’t know if that’s good or bad, because Pan looks incredibly weird. First, there’s Hugh Jackman’s eccentric pirate Blackbeard, then there’s the fact that young Peter seems to…

Godzilla VFX Breakdown Shows How To Make A Massive Monster Brawl

Maybe I’m biased because I love giant monsters, but this VFX breakdown reel for Gareth Edwards’ Godzilla movie is outstanding. Just seeing how much work went into the monsters, let alone the massive environments that served as their battlegrounds is awesome in the most literal sense of the word.

Matthew McConaughey In (Evil) Talks To Be The Stand‘s Randall Flagg

Jesus. Sometimes, a movie casts a role so perfectly you have to stop and give it a round of applause. So get ready to clap, because the movie adaptation of Stephen King’s The Stand may cast Matthew McConaughey as the evil man in black, Randall Flagg McCounaughey’s been rumored for the role for a while…

X-Men: Apocalypse Has Found Its Titular Villain

The third installment of the trilogy begun in X-Men: First Class has found its Apocalypse — it’s Oscar Isaac, who’s just finished filming another possibly villainous role in Star Wars: Episode VII. Clearly, Isaac is pretty good at being bad. Apoclaypse is of course also known asEn Sabah Nur, the blue-lipped, 5,000-year-old mutant who is…

Confirmed: Batman And Superman Are Off-Limits For Arrow And The Flash

It shouldn’t come as a huge surprise, but The Flash and Arrow producer Andrew Kreisberg has confirmed that the Emerald Archer and the Scarlet Speedster won’t be stopping by Gotham City or Metropolis anytime soon. Just like the Smallville TV series wasn’t allowed to incorporate Batman or Wonder Woman, but had full access to the…

​The Streets Are Paved With Half-Melted Zombies In A Tense Walking Dead

Not a lot of things happened in “Crossed,” the episode before next week’s mid-season finale; it’s clear that most of it is setting the stage, especially since it checks in with everybody in the group for the first time in a long time to see how things are about to go horribly, horribly wrong for…

Here’s the good news: The makers of the Attack on Titan TV series have finally officially announced that the hit anime will get a second season. Now the bad news: It’s not going to debut until 2016. UGH. Well, at least we have the compilation films and the live-action movie to tide us over… [Via…

First Look At Arnold As An Elderly Terminator In Genisys

Everything we know about the plot of Terminator Genisys sounds as horrible as the title’s misspelling of “genesis,” but one thing will be nice — seeing Arnold Schwarzenegger as a T-800 again. Here’s the first look at everyone’s favorite Terminator from the upcoming film. https://gizmodo.com/terminator-genisys-insane-plot-reveal-is-a-total-nightm-1652315938 Admittedly, he pretty much looks like Arnold Schwarzenegger, but hey,…

The Walking Dead Midseason Finale Made Daryl Cry For An Hour. AN HOUR.

Actor Norman Reedus told TV Guide that the events of The Walking Dead’s midseason finale, airing on November 30th, were so emotional that he genuinely cried for an hour before he was able to shoot the episode’s finale scenes. Huh. Why do I suspect that these weren’t tears of happiness? Oh, right, because nothing happy…

The First Trailer For LucasFilm’s Strange Magic Isn’t Strange Enough

We only first heard about Lucasfilm’s new CG animated movie Strange Magic when it was announced a week and a half ago as a musical semi-remake of A Midsummer Night’s Dream with pop songs. Now the first trailer is here, and unfortunately it looks like stuff we’ve seen many times before. Tiny faerie people? The…

​6 Episodes That Prove Castle Is Science Fiction

Nathan Fillion will always be best-loved by nerds for his role as Captain Mal Reynolds on Firefly, but did you know he’s also starred in another major scifi franchise? It’s called Castle — yes, the show where he’s a mystery writer solving crimes with police detective (and love interest) Kate Beckett. Don’t believe me? The…
