Don’t let the title of this post fool you, when I say holiday movie season, I mean big studio blockbusters and critically acclaimed titles that may appear on the award show ballots. As for actual holiday themed movies, there are none. Not one single Christmas cartoon or rom-com will reach a wide audience this year….

Arguably one of the TV’s saddest news last year was Futurama finally being killed off (for the second time). The show was rescued once by Comedy Central in 2008 after Fox originally canceled it in 2003. However, the wonderful animated sit-com did have a decent run with 7 season and 140 episodes. It just seems unfair that we couldn’t…
“Before there was thought, there was this place. One Earth. With a single history. But with the coming of man, came the illusion of free will. And with that illusion, came chaos.

This is not a spoiler. Okay, maybe a little one, but Felicia Day posted it on Twitter, so the Black Tabby Cat is out of its carrier. That’s right. Felicia Day has been filming on the set of Supernatural. Did you really think you had seen the last of Charlie Bradbury? The LARPing,…
Even though the pilot failed miserably in 2007, NBC has decided once again to attempt bringing The IT Crowd to the US.

November is often overlooked when thinking about the calendar’s big movie months. But it always delivers with a few big releases. This year’s November movies are even more impressive than usual. Well, at least on paper they are. People always seem to complain about the number of sequels that get made, but wait for the…

In the world of independently created podcasts one has taken the internet, particularly Tumblr, by storm. Created in 2012 by Joseph Fink and Jeffrey Cranor and is published by common place books. The show is told as a local news program by Cecil Gershwin Palmer, voiced by Cecil Baldwin. The news is about all the…
Television has changed significantly in the last few decades, and I’m not talking about the addition of sound and color. Those have certainly made some programs more enjoyable though. No, I’m talking about the evolution of protagonists, from our all-around Disney-certified moral angels to the dark and tormented anti-heroes who enjoy waltzing with the blurred…
Like fans of so many shows, fans of Showtime hit “Dexter” often debate where the long-running series should have ended. One thing that most agree on, though, is that the place where the show’s finale left the titular Dexter Morgan—mercy-killing his brain-dead sister Deb, turning over custody of his beloved son Harrison to his serial…
In 1994, Disney’s The Lion King opened to an adoring audience (which included many film critics) that praised the film’s animation and grandeur. Since then, the film has grossed almost $500,000,000.00 worldwide, inspired two sequels, a follow-up television series, and a popular Broadway musical, and sold millions of dollars’ worth of merchandise. Recently, in honor…
The exciting year of 2014 is beginning to come to a close, and with each passing year we reflect on the past and look forward to the future—of comic book movies. These movies are what keep geeks around the globe counting the days, hours, even sometimes minutes, and jump for joy when they accumulate into…
It’s time for that holiday that baffles non-Americans everywhere! The day cross-dressers celebrate more than most anime cons and little kids celebrate more than Christmas (because let’s face it, a man climbing down your chimney and eating your cookies doesn’t beat getting a pillowcase full of candy while dressed as Batman) has finally arrived! On…
