I am so, so pleasantly surprised with Supergirl. The new show from CBS has been advertised on every surface, both physical and technological, since the beginning of the summer and on some of those ads were the classic hateful comments from the hoards of trolls who hide behind their computer screens and their skepticism. I…
It’s Hollywood…it happens. We get bored and themes get played out and studios relentlessly inundate us with the same thing. It was vampires and for the last few years it appears that everyone has their own zombie screenplay. If I’m going to spend money to see another walking dead feature then it better be new…
The final trailer is here. Tickets are available for presale online and this whole “waiting for the new Star Wars movie” is soon to become the “holy crap did you see The Force Awakens?!” The last trailer was released during Monday Night Football and has already blown up on YouTube with over 12 million hits. Check…
I know, I know. We just finished season one of Fear the Walking Dead and the hotly anticipated season six of its predecessor, The Walking Dead, premiered. So, it seems a little sudden that we’re already discussing the next spin-off. No worries, you won’t have to spend much more of your time in front of…
I’m not really the type of gamer that rushes to my console when I hear the term “beta,” but this is Star Wars, kids. EA released the beta for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC on October 8th and a ton of people piled on in. Sure, it was limited play but over nine million…
Change is hard, and for some reason, human instinct is to resist it with all our might. In the novel Quantum Deadline, forty-something news reporter Daedalus Howell has to acclimate to the fact that the world of print journalism as he knew it is getting smaller and the demand for digital is rapidly increasing. He…
While new fall television series are trying to find their audiences I know viewers are still anxiously awaiting their favorites to come back. Waiting months to sit through a long premiere episode that may or may not answer that cliffhanger is TV at its best. Of course, during the hiatus there are always forums and…
If you look at the history of television you should know that pilot episodes aren’t everything. Many shows change drastically from episode one and two. They can be very “don’t judge a book by its cover.” I’m not trying to be preachy to you the viewer, but more towards Fox. This fall, the small screen got…
When an ad pops up before a YouTube video it is very likely that I will hover over that bottom right corner and click that skip button the second it becomes available. Then one day the drumline intrigued me. Maybe it was the English accents or the recognition of my YouTuber spirit animal Grace Helbig,…
This week the long-awaited Lego Dimensions game dropped for PS3 and 4, Xbox 360 and One as well as the Wii U. The ages recommended is 7-14, which is ridiculous because Lego games are atrociously fun for all ages. Dimensions in particular encompasses so many popular characters that there’s sure to be something for everyone….
NOTE: Mild spoilers below. It wasn’t a question of if I was going to see Ridley Scott’s new film The Martian, but when. Was the film adaptation of Andy Weir’s novel worth finding my place in a packed theater that would be kept freezing cold despite it being the beginning of October in the Midwest?…
It’s fall! You know what that means? Pumpkin Spice lattes? Get the f**k out! It means it’s time for some TV, and I’ve got the info on some new sci-fi series that are looking to get audiences hooked. Over at CBS, Limitless starring Jake McDorman will try to match the success of its predecessor film…
