In an outrageous display of disrespect for The Ratings King of Friday Night, Baron Corbin was embarrassed before and during his match with Otis on Friday Night Smackdown last night, leading to a dip in both ratings and viewership for WWE's blue brand. Before their scheduled match, Otis happened upon Baron Corbin's crown on a chair […]

Last weeks Catwoman 80th Anniversary Special ran Selina Kyle through many versions of herself.

One that also […]

Having screened the preview shorts as well as what's been released on the streaming service so far, it's pretty easy to understand why Looney Tunes Cartoons ranks at the top of HBO Max's "must watch" list.

On March 29th, 2020 I write a Bleeding Cool article which, at the time, was meant to tease that week's upcoming Batman #92. It wasn't published, instead, Diamond Comic Distributors warehoused the print run and shut down, as a result of coronavirus pandemic orders. Over two months later, it is finally coming to comic books […]

UCS Comic Distributors is one of the two new premiere distributors of DC Comics monthly titles.

Once again, FX's What We Do in the Shadows proves to be the best remedy and escape from reality currently staking out a spot on broadcast, cable, or streaming.

The National Football League took heat from both current and veteran players for what was described at best as a tepid response and at worst as empty, hypocritical noise in their message of "support" for the George Floyd protestors and NFL players. So much so that over a dozen NFL players got together to record […]

Star Wars: The Last Jedi is the most divisive film of the last decade. No matter which side of the argument, you fall on that cannot be denied. What also cannot be denied is that the ending is awesome. During the Canto Bight sequence in the film, we meet a young stable boy named Temiri […]
