What If…? Season Finale Will Reveal The ‘Bigger Plan’ Behind The Series Marvel Studios By Ethan Anderton/Sept. 28, 2021 1:31 pm EST There are just two episodes left in the first season of Marvel’s “What If…?” animated series. In case you haven’t noticed, the series has been slowly heading towards something much more than an anthology series that remixes the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Though director Bryan Andrews and A.C. Bradley played coy at the show’s start, they’ve now confirmed that there has always been a “bigger plan” in play that will bring these alternate universes together....

What’s Up With Josta Soda, The Bizarre Drink Of Choice For The TVA In ‘Loki’? By Vanessa Armstrong/June 16, 2021 8:00 am EST The Time Variance Authority in the Disney+ series Loki has a weird vibe going on. Yes, it has a familiar bureaucratic feel, but it still feels a little bit off and out of this reality (which, it is). The show creators intentionally made the TVA feel this way, and used obvious and tiny touches to create its odd ambiance....

What Will Bobcat Goldthwait Do To Follow ‘God Bless America’? By Russ Fischer/May 29, 2012 9:00 am EST We like Bobcat Goldthwait. In fact, we like him quite a bit. It’s great to see a guy who could have fallen into replaying one career moment take charge of his own path and make the stuff he wants to make. Goldthwait’s new film God Bless America is in some theaters now and also playing on VOD....

‘Ghost Stories’ Features A Recent Entry For The Short List Of “Scariest Scenes Of All Time” By Meagan Navarro/Sept. 22, 2020 10:00 am EST (Welcome to Scariest Scene Ever, a column dedicated to the most pulse-pounding moments in horror. In this edition: Ghost Stories used sound and shadow to build up unrelenting tension for this utterly terrifying scene.)Few things frighten and fascinate as well as a good ghost story. The supernatural taps into fears of the unknown, but it more directly ties into the concept of an afterlife....

‘John Wick: Chapter 4’ Will Bring Back Ian McShane’s Winston, But Will He Survive John Wick’s Revenge Tour? By Jeremy Mathai/July 15, 2021 12:23 pm EST Insert grossly overdone yet admittedly relevant “I’m thinking I’m back” John Wick quote here. We’ve been dancing in and around the fact that Ian McShane’s Winston would probably be returning and adding his name to the expansive cast of John Wick: Chapter 4 — it really wouldn’t make much narrative sense if he didn’t — but today we can finally put that uncertainty behind us....

Luca Behind-the-Scenes Video I’ve always wanted to go to Italy, but for now, I’ll have to live vicariously through Luca. The new Disney Pixar movie is “Set in a beautiful seaside town on the Italian Riviera,” and “is a coming-of-age story about one young boy experiencing an unforgettable summer filled with gelato, pasta and endless scooter rides. Luca shares these adventures with his newfound best friend, but all the fun is threatened by a deeply-held secret: they are sea monsters from another world just below the water’s surface....

‘Pet Sematary’ Prequel Casting Suggests They May Finally Explore That “Indian Burial Ground” Thing By Eric Vespe/July 11, 2021 8:35 am EST Much like its many victims, it seems like we can expect Pet Sematary to keep coming back. Paramount rebooted Mary Lambert’s original film in 2019 and now they’re headed back to that particular bit of sour ground beyond the deadfall for another attempt at Stephen King’s world. This time they’re doing a prequel story which will debut on the Paramount+ streaming service, and the Pet Sematary prequel cast that was recently announced may hint at what the story will entail....

Comedian and New York Times Bestselling author Artie Lange admitted on the Howard Stern Show yesterday that he auditioned for Darren Aronofsky’s The Wrestler. “I really took it seriously. I had what I thought was a great audition. It was for the fifth lead of the movie, a sleazy wrestling promoter in that world… he had all his scenes with Mickey Rourke....

Cool Stuff: Rediscover The Power Of The Force With ‘Star Wars’ Black Series Figures For Lucasfilm’s 50th Anniversary By Ethan Anderton/June 18, 2021 6:00 am EST This year, Lucasfilm is celebrating their 50th anniversary, which means Hasbro is churning out a variety of Star Wars action figures in honor of the film studio that George Lucas built. They’ve been re-releasing a bunch of action figures with commemorative packaging, but their latest collection might be the best yet....

A Refresher On Trevor Slattery Marvel Studios As many fans will surely recall, Kingsley’s first foray into the MCU was a bit of a mixed bag. The marketing for “Iron Man 3” firmly positioned The Mandarin as the big bad. The teaser trailer was loaded with menacing dialogue from the character. But, as we would come to learn, The Mandarin was a pure fabrication. An actor with substance abuse issues by the name of Trevor Slattery was hired by Aldrich Killian (Guy Pearce) to play the part of this would-be terrorist....

Impeachment: American Crime Story Let Monica Lewinsky Weigh In On Every Scene FX By Vanessa Armstrong/Aug. 25, 2021 12:49 pm EST The latest 10-episode installment of Ryan Murphy’s “American Crime Story” focuses on Monica Lewinsky and her relationship with President Bill Clinton (and the subsequent impeachment trial that stemmed from it). The project had fits and starts while getting off the ground, in part because Murphy thought it would be “kind of gross” to develop the FX series if the real-life Lewinsky wasn’t on board....

Intrusion Director Explains How The Pandemic Made Him Reinvent The Film [Interview] Netrflix By Vanessa Armstrong/Sept. 21, 2021 4:42 pm EST Netflix’s “Intrusion” is a thriller that hits close to home. Meera (Freida Pinto) is caught up in dangerous intrigue after an unexpected incident — someone breaking into her and her husband’s (Logan Marshall-Green) home — causes her to uncover things she never expected. As the film’s trailer suggests, Meera unearths horrific secrets when she digs into why people broke into her beautiful, modern house in the New Mexico mountains....

Noah Hawley’s ‘Alien’ TV Series Will Be About “Inequality,” Won’t Feature Ripley By Jeremy Mathai/July 1, 2021 8:28 am EST Noah Hawley is a busy man these days. The fascinating storyteller is perhaps best known for creating the hit television series Fargo, based on the Coen brothers’ classic, as well as for several near-misses on projects that may or may not ever come to fruition. Last we heard, however, Hawley was gearing up for a surprising journey into the Alien universe — this time, in the medium of television....

Party On: There Will Be A ‘Wayne’s World’ Super Bowl Ad By Hoai-Tran Bui/Feb. 1, 2021 5:00 pm EST We’re not worthy, but we’re getting it anyway: a Wayne’s World Super Bowl ad featuring Mike Myers and Dana Carvey, together again after 32 years.

Mouse droids Disney-ABC Television Stripped to its roots, “A New Hope” is a fairly standard story about a chosen one making good on his potential. But the nascent franchise had a second secret weapon alongside the charm of its main cast: spectacular world building that made its tiny details pop. The mouse droid is one of these details. It’s a dressed-up box on wheels that makes delightful beeping sounds. Its practical function isn’t clear, although the non-canon reference book “Star Wars: Imperial Handbook: A Commander’s Guide” by Daniel Wallace claims they’re used for routine floor maintenance and work as data couriers....
