So, here’s a sentence I never thought I would write ever; The Satanic Temple is suing Netflix over copyright infringement. And here’s another sentence that I DEFINITELY never thought I would write; The Satanic Temple may actually have a legitimate case. The Salem, Massachusetts based temple stated that they had planned on suing Netflix over the use of a copyrighted statue in their new show, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, a reboot of the classic 90’s show, Sabrina, The Teenage Witch, set in the darker and more realistic Riverdale universe. Now, the temple has slapped Netflix and Warner Bros with a…

Anyone who grew up in the 90’s and the 2000’s are familiar with the cultural staple that is Jay and Silent Bob. The intrepid stoner duo appeared in several of writer/director Kevin Smith’s (who is Silent Bob) films, such as Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy, Dogma, and more, before starting in their very own film, Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back. Full of amazing and star studded cameos, we were treated to a full on hilarious adventure. Now, nearly 20 years later, we’re finally getting the sequel, and, according to Jay portrayer, Jason Mewes, filming should begin in February 2019. Speaking…

Fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe like to think that the actors portraying their favorite characters ARE those characters, committed to only the MCU for all of eternity. We romanticize these parts to an emotional connection level. So, when we hear of an actor leaving a part or taking a role in another film, some fans can become overly excited and agitated. But, I’m here to say to everyone, “Calm down”. Actors have to work, and they enjoy to take on different roles. But, that doesn’t mean that they’re done with your favorite role of theirs. It’s just their job,…

Fans all know that Disney and Marvel Studios are the kings of Easter eggs in their films. There are consistent hints and nods to their other various films, TV shows, and comic books littered throughout the backgrounds of each of their blockbusters. It gives fans extra incentive to rewatch their movies for a visual scavenger hunt. But, sometimes, those Easter eggs could come back to bite them in the rear, if they’re not properly researched. In a recent one from Captain Marvel, one such Easter egg did just that. The photo was posted by Brie Larson to help promote voting…

Everyone is salivating over any information they can get their hands on as it pertains to the still untitled Avengers 4. The finale to the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Phase 3 is probably the most anticipated movie of all time, thanks, in part, to the intense level of secrecy surrounding the Marvel Studios film. However, even with the intense level of secrecy, some minor details have now come out. In a recent Instagram Q&A with Joe Russo, one half of the brothers directing the epic film, revealed while answering fans’ questions during the opening of his new bar, Duello, that the film’s…

While we’ve all been aware of Disney creating their own streaming service akin to Netflix to house their own original creations such as Star Wars and the Marvel, the studio has now officially released its name: Disney+. The name isn’t exactly a surprise, though some thought the service would be called Disney Play, and I mean –  both names have a similar ring to them. With the press release on their site, Disney has also launched the official website, www.DisneyPlus.com. The press release can be found below: The Walt Disney Company’s new direct-to-consumer streaming service will be called Disney+. Disney…

Fans have been downright begging for a trailer to Marvel’s Phase 3 finale to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the still untitled Avengers 4. While some have speculated on a November release (which now seems highly unlikely), based on past trailer releases, the most information we have gotten is from Marvel Studios Head, Kevin Feige, who has stated we should get the trailer by the end of the year. However, during an Instagram Q&A today, Joe Russo, one half of the brotherly directing duo for A4, stated that we may not receive the trailer until 2019. “When can we expect to…

Disney and Marvel Studios has kept as much of the information for the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Phase 3 finale, the still untitled Avengers 4, so tightly guarded, you would think they were hoarding the key to the Holy Grail in the underground vaults of the Vatican. But, for all their well measured security when it comes to their secrets, there’s always a ‘Robert Langdon’ in the group, ready to give out all the spoilers to the MCU’s equivalent to the ‘Da Vinci Code’. In this case, Mark Ruffalo, who portrays Hulk, is Marvel’s intrepid Langdon, spoiling the movie left and…

Fans have been clamoring for decades to get a good superhero movie. For every Batman ‘89 we’d get, we’d get ten Ghost Rider or X3: Last Stand films. But, arguably, no superhero franchise has had a more maligned run at the cinema than the Fantastic Four. In the three films released in theaters, none of them were well received at all. In fact, the 2017 release is considered by many to be one of the worst films ever made, and was rifled with behind the scenes drama. But, while the first film hit theaters in 2005, not everyone is aware…

We learned of a possible Dark World connection as well as the consistent clues of the Realm’s importance. We’ve also covered little spoilers here and there, like certain characters making…
