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.

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…

Hey, Google Photos, What Gives?

If you’ve been enjoying the luxury of unlimited premium file storage with Google Photos, I have some unfortunate news. Google Photos previously supported unlimited file storage with photos uploaded under its “high” setting (rather than in their original, sometimes beefier formats).

The Xbox Series X May or May Not Be Catching on Fire, and Microsoft Is Investigating

The Xbox Series X is so hot right now, and I don’t mean figuratively. I mean literally. Some people are claiming that their new Xboxes are catching on fire, but there’s a lot of skepticism over whether these claims are true.

Even the Perfect Batman Cartoon Was Bullshit Once in a While

Batman: The Animated Series, and, hell, the entire DC Animated Universe of shows spearheaded by Bruce Timm and Paul Dini, are so beloved that in all my years doing Worst Episode Ever I never touched them. After all, I figured even the worst B: TAS episode would probably still be miles above most of the…

George Lucas’ Plans for His Star Wars Sequels Were More Familiar Than You’d Think

For the most part, George Lucas has stayed fairly quiet about his own future plans for Star Wars before selling off Lucasfilm and the franchise to Disney. We’ve had teases here and there, but in a new interview, Lucas lifted the lid even further on what could’ve been Star Wars VII through IX—and while there…

Deepwater Sightings of Rare Bigfin Squid Reveal Some Serious Weirdness

An extensive survey of deep waters off the coast of Australia has resulted in a trove of bigfin squid sightings. And by trove, we mean the detection of five individuals—these deep-sea creatures are exceptionally rare, so any new observations are quite valuable to scientists. “Deep-sea cephalopods are highly diverse and widespread yet often shrouded in…
