Lazor Wulf‘s Season 2 Premiere Is Not Endorsed by Jermajesty Jackson

There’s no telling whether Jermajesty Jackson actually knows what Adult Swim’s Lazor Wulf is, which is why it reasonable to assume that he wouldn’t endorse the show’s second season. That might change if he watched it, though. After dying, coming back to life, and ultimately learning that there’s no sense in trying to reason with…

Baby Yoda’s Snacking Habit Was Apparently Meant to Be Funny

In the days since The Mandalorian’s most recent episode hit Disney+, more than a few casual observers of the wee Baby Yoda have taken notice of, and issue with, the Child’s voracious appetite. It’s something that’s taken a turn for the horrific right before his adoptive father’s eyes. It’s made very clear to Mando at…

The Suicide Squad Spinoff Series From James Gunn Is Growing

James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad is poised to give the much-maligned team of antiheroic baddies a second shot at life on both the big and small screens, as John Cena’s overzealous Peacemaker character is the center in a spinoff series set within the same universe. But a character like the Peacemaker would be nothing without…

Emerald City Comic Con and C2E2 Plan Winter 2021 Return

Miles Morales‘ Soundtrack Full of Bangers Is Now Streamable

From the moment that you land on Spider-Man: Miles Morales’ start screen, the game immediately sets itself apart from Insomniac’s previous Spider-Man game, not just by putting Miles front and center, but by cluing you into the kind of music that the young hero’s got blasting in his headphones. You’d be forgiven for sitting on…

Now’s the Time to Get Into Lazor Wulf

In the coming months, five more states in the U.S. will legalize marijuana (with five legalizing recreational use). Additionally, if reports are to be believed, Henry Bonsu’s Lazor Wulf is slated to return to Adult Swim for its second season. These two things are wholly unrelated, but if you were a conspiracy theory-minded person like…

WandaVision Wants to Be a ‘Love Letter’ to the Golden Age of Television

In a new interview with Entertainment Weekly…

I Would Die for Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity‘s Baby Guardian

Things being the way they are, it didn’t seem likely that 2020 would follow in 2019’s footsteps in terms of ushering in new, fictional babies designed to capture the public’s heart. But then, Nintendo’sHyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity demo came along and introduced a surprising bundle of joy into its already complicated story about a…

Ben Wheatley’s Pandemic-Era Indie Horror Film Is About…a Pandemic

Avengers: United They Stand Was a Chance for Earth’s Other Heroes to Shine

Marvel’s live-action adaptations of its classic comics storylines have become the studio’s bread and butter since the inception of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But for decades, Marvel channeled an inordinate amount of energy into animated offerings squarely aimed at children with the obvious intention of selling vast sums of gaudy action figures. Urging children to…

This They Live Bust Should Be the Official Symbol of 2020

It’s a new morning in America: stale, beleagured. The old cynicism is still here. We lack faith in our leaders. We’re pessimistic as to what becomes of it all. It really boils down to our ability to endure. In the spirit of John Carpenter’s prescient 1988 film They Live, Waxwork Records would very much like…
