Earlier this year it was announced that Brent Spiner would play the President on this season of Supergirl. Due to some personal matters, that ended up not happening, and Bruce Boxleitner took the role instead. But fret not, Spiner will be back on TV soon, in a role much better suited for him. I can exclusively reveal that Spiner will be a guest star on Star Trek: Picard on CBS All Access. Spiner played Lt. Commander Data on The…
On last Friday’s episode of The Fanboy Podcast, I had the absolute pleasure of speaking with screenwriter Zack Stentz. His credits include Thor, X-Men: First Class, The CW’s The Flash, and the just-released Netflix coming-of-age action adventure, Rim of The World. During our conversation we touched on a number of cool topics, from the Superman movie he’d love to write with Christopher McQuarrie, to the Booster Gold film he turned in a script for. Along the way, we also touched on Big…
Remember the good old days? When Batman fans has at least some idea of what they could expect when it came to the Dark Knight on celluloid? When we had a new installation of a trilogy to look forward to? Or a foray into a wider DC cinematic universe? In an era of near-perpetual uncertainty; where projects seem to rise and fall in an ocean of behind-the-scenes turmoil, the years between 2004 and 2017 seem like halcyon…

That included…
[Disclaimer, there are spoilers for Supernatural season 1 below. I have seen most of the seasons, so I will be talking about how this season sets up future seasons as well.] Supernatural season 1 revolves all around Dean Winchester (Jensen Ackles) and Sam Winchester (Jared Padalecki) trying to find their father, John Winchester (Jeffery Dean Morgan) after he’s gone missing. John has found the trail of a demon who killed his wife, Mary Winchester (Samantha Smith), over 20…
Deathstroke has been on the tips of lots of people’s tongues these last few years. Whether it’s Manu Bennett’s take on the character on The CW’s Arrow, Joe Manganiello’s tease at the end of Justice League, his constant presence in the world of the Teen Titans, or the recent news that Esai Morales will play a new live-action iteration of Slade Wilson in Season 2 of Titans, it would appear that people simply can’t get enough of Deathstroke The…
Earlier this week, when talking about the new Maleficent trailer, I mentioned that we hadn’t heard much in terms of Disney’s other villain-prequel Cruella. Well, Variety must have some read that, because now there is a new casting update. Emma Thompson is in talks to join the other Emma (Stone) in the film. While Stone has been set to play a young Cruella de Vil already, the identity of Thompson’s character is being kept under wraps. Thompson would actually make…
WARNING: SPOILERS FOR AVENGERS: ENDGAME BELOW It truly was an Endgame for a few of our favorite Avengers in the Russo brothers flick and according to co-director Joe Russo in an interview with the Happy Sad Confused podcast, the ending for Steve Rogers is quite definitive. “…I think Chris — Chris is a very emotional person, I think, maybe it’s evident if you follow him on Twitter — because he does put his heart into what he says —…

“I guess you guys aren’t ready for that yet, but your kids are gonna love it.” Tonight marks the release of Avengers: Endgame and while the Russos have done their best to keep the events of the film under wraps, there are some things we know about the future of some fallen heroes. One of those things is that Scarlet Witch and Vision, both of whom perished during the events of Avengers: Infinity War, will be getting their…
One of my absolute favorite horror films from the past decade is Robert Eggers’ sublime The Witch from 2015. The film was an atmospheric character-driven work that left a very haunting impression on its audiences. While there’s been a fair bit of talk and interest in Eggers’ planned remake of Nosferatu, I’ve eagerly spent the past year waiting to see his sophomore feature film The Lighthouse. Not much is known about the horror-fantasy film’s story, but it stars Willem…
