I’m about to write a sentence I never thought I would ever even think of, much less put into an article, but am thoroughly excited about: Al Pacino is playing a Nazi Hunter in 1970’s New York, thanks to Jordan Peele. You read that correctly. Al Pacino leads an eclectic ensemble in the Amazon Original Series, Hunters, from Peele’s Monkey Paw Productions. The Oscar winning talent involved in this project should be enough to draw anyone in, but when you add this premise, especially in this day and age, it makes for what should be one hell of a series.…

For wrestling fans, it is a really exciting time in the industry. For the last two decades, there has only been one option for fans to watch, which has stalled a bit. Now, a new company is on the rise, AEW (All Elite Wrestling), and we sat down with its current champion, and one of the biggest names in the business, Chris Jericho, while at NYCC. As the world seems to shift to be more ‘accepting’ of comic books and conventions like these, do you feel the world finally gets wrestling as well? I think wrestling are a lot like……

Matt Reeves’ The Batman is steadily moving forward. After the somewhat controversial casting of Robert Pattinson as the Caped Crusader, and a story that is fresh, holding no connections to the previous DC Extended Universe, Reeves has begun pre-production and casting more roles. Jeffrey Wright will be taking on the role of Commissioner Gordon, Zoe Kravitz will don her tights as Catwoman, and Paul Dano looks to puzzle the Bat as the Riddler. Now, one of the most important figures in all of the Dark Knight’s lore is, of course, Alfred Pennyworth. And it would seems that Reeves has found…

You would be hard pressed nowadays to meet anybody who hasn’t at least heard of the Impractical Jokers TV show. Four lifelong friends compete to embarrass each other, and we get to enjoy their misery. Well, it looks like they’ve taken that misery and turned it into a game show! The Misery Index brings the Tenderloins, Sal Vulcano, Joe Gatto, Brian ‘Q’ Quinn, and James ‘Murr’ Murray in to help contestants rate real life stories on the Misery Index to win a ton of cash. Hosted by Jameela Jamil, TBS proudly presents Misery Index! Are you going to use Misery…

It looks like it’s about time to visit the Wizarding World of Harry Potter once again. After the vastly popular young adult book series was turned into the global phenomenon that spawned an uber successful movie franchise as well as incredible dual coastal theme parks and merchandising galore. Just about everyone on the planet has taken the Hogwarts House Quiz and figured out where they would be sorted (I’m a Gryffindor). Now, J.K. Rowling has kept our fantasies alive with the Fantastic Beasts & Where To Find Them films, which give us a more in depth look into wizarding history…

Martin Scorsese has been a bit of a hot topic as of late. His passive aggressive jabs at comic book films have not gone unnoticed, and fans have voiced their issues with his comments. While he tries to save face by continuing to call them a ‘different’ art form than his own, his comments of them only being for ‘young people’ and are extensions of ‘theme parks’ are thinly veiled backhanded compliments candy coated in a big ‘F You’ shell. So, this latest revelation to come to light about Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker isn’t all that shocking. Scorsese produced the Todd…

Happy Halloween, everybody! Tis the season for ghosts and ghouls, monsters and frights, tricks and treats. It is also the season for horror, terror, and killers. Most horror fans have spent the month of October binging their favorite scary movies, having marathons on classics and new features alike. One of the best horror films in recent memory was the 2018 revival of the Halloween franchise, a sequel 40 years in the making. Now, a new BTS video has surfaced on the official Halloween movie Facebook page, highlighting the upcoming sequel, Halloween Kills. The video is scored to the classic piano…

The World Wrestling Entertainment Corporation has always tried to show a large form of diversity amongst their talent and their fanbase. The WWE Universe is full of just about every race and creed on the planet, and has tried to never exclude anyone. While this hasn’t always been the case, WWE has spent the last 20+ years making sure to be a 100% inclusive brand of entertainment. This doesn’t mean they always get it right, though, and one new talent isn’t having any of their latest ‘sensitivity slip up’. Jordan Myles was the true star of the NXT Breakout Tournament,…

One of the most polarizing figures in sports entertainment over the last 20 years has got to be CM Punk. Real name Phil Brooks, Punk was best known for his ‘Pipe Bombs’; supposedly ‘shoot’ promos where no one was safe from his ire. After not getting his way at a PPV event, Punk unceremoniously quit the World Wrestling Entertainment. He eventually pursued a very unsuccessful and short lived career in MMA with the UFC, before going on to act in indy films and doing some small time MMA color commentary. So, why are we talking about him now? Well, it…

New York Comic Con is a massive event every year that brings the absolute best in comics, movies, TV, games, and more all together for fans to ingest in droves over the 4 day extravaganza. While Marvel and DC comics were represented en masse, some of the smaller, yet some say better, publishers were also in attendance. I was fortunate enough to get some time with Mike Molcher of 2000 AD, and ask him not only about the vast array of comics in their collection, but also some upcoming projects like the Judge Dredd: Mega-City One TV show and an…
