The team behind Coyote Vs. Acme has more than just "meep meep" to say to Warner Bros.
AV Club,
The actors and writers strikes are finally over, but the jilted team behind the shelved Coyote Vs. Acme isn’t pulling any punches against the studio that crushed their work under an anvil for a measly tax write-off. As reported yesterday, Warner Bros. Discovery decided to give the completed, scored, and… Read more...
Fran Drescher and The Rock are apparently both fielding requests to run for president
Guys, remember the last time we had an entertainer run for president? That didn’t turn out too well, did it? Or go back even further: the last time a popular actor—one who was also once president of SAG!—became President of the United States? That kind of took a long-term toll on American politics, didn’t it? Do you… Read more...
Stranger Things will start filming again very soon
It sounds like Stranger Things is about to start filming again, and not a moment too soon. The kids are really getting into “How long have you been 17?” “A while” territory, and that bowl cut on Noah Schnapp looks goofier by the second. Millie Bobby Brown has previously expressed her desire to get the show on the road… Read more...

It’s a good thing, because we’ll need those memories of warmer days when the ceremony streams February 4 from Los… Read more...
From the twisted mind of Darren Aronofsky, a biopic about the twisted mind of Elon Musk
If there had to be a biopic about Elon Musk (does there have to be?), it might as well be some messed up, off-putting psychological horror show. At least, that’s what one would assume the Darren Aronofsky version of Musk’s life will be. The filmmaker behind such twisted classics as Requiem For A Dream, mother!, and… Read more...
Shoresy is so much smarter—and funnier—than its meathead hero might suggest
Last week, news broke that Jared Keeso’s long-running, beautifully vulgar Canadian sitcom Letterkenny would be coming to an end with its next season. This revelation wasn’t wholly surprising insofar as a) Letterkenny is coming up on its 12th season, which is a lot; b) the show’s 11th season had ended on a weirdly dour… Read more...
Hollywood’s not afraid of superheroes anymore, but it’s still afraid of real superhero stories
Before superhero movies were the only kind of movies, they almost always had a cute little gag where someone would acknowledge that something—typically something pulled straight from the comic book source material—was silly, whether it was by directly breaking the fourth wall or with a winky meta gag. That way the… Read more...
