Settle Down Beavis, and Come to Butt-Head: The Iconic ’90s Animated Series Is Making a Return

It’s been a while since we’ve heard from Mike Judge’s head-banging, couch-dwelling masters of snark, but the animated teens of Beavis and Butt-Head—one of MTV’s biggest hits of the 1990s that spawned a 1996 feature film which was also a huge hit—are returning to the airwaves thanks to Comedy Central. As the New York Times…

Of Course Fox Is Open to the Idea of More Firefly

It’s 2020. Have you seen what’s big in pop culture right now? Firefly might have come along and be promptly murdered shortly thereafter 18 years ago at this point, but if you can rely on anything in this life, it’s death, taxes, reboots, and the persistence of browncoats. Which is why Firefly producer Tim Minear…

The Reboots Will Continue Until Morale Improves

The past decade has demonstrated that no matter how much the general public gripes about Hollywood being a wasteland for new ideas—an accusation that’s popular despite the fact that it isn’t exactly true—reboots are here to stay whether we like them or not. Studios have little to no reason to ever stop rebooting classic stories…

PSA: The Original Run of Veronica Mars Hits Hulu July 1st

Here’s Why Hellboy Is a Reboot Instead of a Sequel

The short answer: they wouldn’t do a third movie without Guillermo. Hellboy, a reboot of a moderately successful and well-loved set of a film adaptations, is not what some fans might have wanted from the franchise. Instead, they probably wanted a sequel to Hellboy II: The Golden Army. One such fan was Ron Perlman himself,…

It’s 2018, and Somehow Woody Woodpecker Is Getting a Reboot

Nothing is sacred; everything is just wood, waiting to be pecked. Not that Woody Woodpecker, the beloved cartoon creature whose largest personality traits are 1) being a cartoon character and 2) being a woodpecker, and 3) being David Lynch’s mortal enemy was necessarily sacred. But he’s not exactly who I’d guess would be getting a…

Please Don’t Make Another Friday the 13th Movie

Since 1980, hockey-masked slasher Jason Voorhees has starred in 12 movies, including the Friday the 13th remake, the one set in space, and that one where he fought Freddy Krueger. Friday the 13th: Part 13 certainly has a catchy ring to it, but the reality is that the proposed sequel has been in struggle mode for…

If Dark Tower TV Series Happens, It’ll Be ‘Complete Reboot’, Says Stephen King

The movie based on King’s The Dark Tower novel series did not do well. It did not do well at all. Also, it was pretty bad. But the TV series maybe, maybe has a chance at seeing the light of day. If it happens, though, it won’t be following up on the movie. That information…

Circuit City Might Be Coming Back

Circuit City died an ignominious death at the hands of online retail and poor management back in 2009. But this summer, much like Jurassic Park and Star Wars, it’s apparently time for a reboot.
