I'm a writer/editor who's been at the site since 2015. I cover politics, weird history, video games and... well, anything really. Keep it breezy, keep it light, keep it straightforward.
Sources close to WGTC say that Disney is working on a TV show based on Square-Enix's hit video game series Kingdom Hearts, featuring Sora, Donald and Goofy.
Doctor Who fans are used to a long wait between seasons, but the COVID-19 pandemic may mean it'll be some time before we get new episodes. This is because, as is the case with much of the global entertainment industry, the BBC has suspended the shoots of all its scripted programming. Doctor Who is now unlikely to go back before the cameras until the summer (and that's at the earliest), which may mean we won't see new episodes until mid-2021. But there's at least one ray of light for fans: this year's holiday special, "Revolution of the Daleks," is still on schedule.
Boba Fett is back, baby! Woo! The iconic Star Wars character has finally clawed and blasted his way out of the Sarlaac Pit and is confirmed to be making an appearance in the second season of The Mandalorian. Even better, he'll be played by the supremely talented Jango Fett actor Temuera Morrison (which makes sense, as Boba Fett is a clone of Jango).
Twilight author Stephanie Meyer has teased fans with what to expect from the upcoming Twilight novel Midnight Sun, and it sounds like we're in for a treat.
In 1986, Alan Moore prefaced his classic Superman story "Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow" with the line: "This is an imaginary story. Aren't they all?" This now-famous line always comes to mind whenever I see heated debates on the canonicity of a fictional event.
Like The Flash, Batwoman is having its season finale earlier than originally planned. The COVID-19 pandemic caused production to shut down on March 12th, meaning the producers have had to repurpose episode 20, "O, Mouse" into a big finale. We'll find out tomorrow whether this tactic works when The Flash wraps up, with Batwoman following soon after on May 17th.
Actor and comedian Jerry Stiller, best known for playing Frank Costanza on Seinfeld, has died at the age of 92. The news was confirmed by his son, actor Ben Stiller, who posted on Twitter:
"I’m sad to say that my father, Jerry Stiller, passed away from natural causes. He was a great dad and grandfather, and the most dedicated husband to Anne for about 62 years. He will be greatly missed. Love you Dad."
Sparks are sure to fly when Boba Fett makes his long-awaited return on The Mandalorian. The iconic Star Wars bounty hunter has been confirmed to appear in the second season, as played by Temuera Morrison (the only plausible choice as he's a clone of Jango Fett). But just because Fett and the Mandalorian wear similar armor, don't expect them to be on the same side. After all, The Mandalorian takes his warrior religion very seriously, while Fett merely wears the armor because his dad did. Blasphemy.
Much as I like superhero and fantasy movies, it's difficult to argue that they haven't squeezed a certain style of blockbuster out of multiplexes. I'm talking about original action properties: films like True Lies, The Rock, Con Air and Die Hard. Perhaps it's simply a sign of the times that there's less of them, but I like a straightforward balls-to-the-wall action movie that's not setting up some expansive cinematic universe. All of which means I was very happy to see Bad Boys For Life become a box office smash and critical hit back in January, successfully reinvigorating a franchise that'd been dormant since 2003.
