Growing up, Jerry O'Connell adored the Superman films starring Christopher Reeve. He watched them all, but his favorite remains the 1978 Richard Donner original. The actor had an opportunity to play a role in a live-action setting screen testing for Superman Returns (2006) before the part went to Brandon Routh. O'Connell's first exposure to voiceover […]

Today is the day! The continuation of David Milch-created Shakespearean Western series Deadwood by way of Deadwood: The Movie. 13 years ago, the series was unceremoniously cancelled before getting to end it's tale of the South Dakota mining town denizens.

It's been nigh-on 13 years since HBO's incredible Shakespearean Western series Deadwood was unceremoniously cancelled before getting to end it's tale of the South Dakota mining town denizens.

Anytime we get to chat with prolific (and Emmy-winning) composer Bear McCreary, it's a good day. Admittedly, he's a friend, met several years ago after that incident of moving a locked piano across a very-large-Texas-sized convention center, and a panel moderation with said piano. Aside from being a pretty cool guy to chat with, he's […]

Bit of a back story before diving into our interview with Nana Visitor, who played Major Kira on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine– >This< writer grew up a Star Trek fan when it wasn't cool. It wasn't cool to love something so nerdy, and it waaaaay wasn't cool to be a GIRL who loved something nerdy. Oddly enough, […]

We personally still get extremely excited anytime we get to speak with someone from a property that we love, and chatting with Ariana Richards who played Lex in the first Jurassic Park film was certainly one of those experiences. If you'll recall, Richards played computer-savy Lex in Steven Spielberg's 1993 cinema adaptation of the dinosaur adventure based on Michael Crichton's […]
