What this country needs now more than ever is to have her faith in her elected officials in this time of crisis, so who better to step in to fill that leadership void than Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler). That's right, five years after the series took its final bow NBC and Universal Television are bringing […]
While animated anthology Cake may have been a sign of where they were going, FX Networks stepped up its animation game in a big way on Thursday by announcing a pilot order for Little Demon. Created by Darcy Fowler, Seth Kirschner, and Kieran Valla, the half-hour animated comedy stars Danny DeVito (It's Always Sunny in […]
Much has changed to the cast of Edgar Wright's 2010 film Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World since its release including for Birds of Prey star Mary Elizabeth Winstead. For starters, the drummer for Sex Bomb 'Omb Kim (Allison Pill) is busy traveling the stars with a Star Trek legend. Lucas Lee (Chris Evans), one of […]
For an episode that ended with a massive, cast-encompassing sing-along, Legion's "Chapter 24" may have had one of the largest body counts of the series to date. And, we get hippies in space. It's a whole Legion thing. Plus, we actually meet Legion— the character Legion— in a really unsettling segment of ill-advised body swapping. […]
Legion has never been a show that I would call reserved. Nothing about that show, from the first episode forward, has been anything less than a full-tilt assault on the senses. Even episode 22, which introduced Charles Xavier (Harry Lloyd) and Gabrielle Haller (Stephanie Corneliussen ) in a relatively bug-out free excursion, still managed to […]
Legion is back to mess with our minds with a brand new third season. Some things have definitely changed since last we saw David (Dan Stevens) and his friends, and writer Noah Hawley throws some chaos into the mix by introducing a new character into the mix. Switch (Lauren Tsai) is a mutant in […]
[rwp_box_recap id="0"] Walking into the new reboot of Child's Play, one would be forgiven for expecting the worst. More than most franchises, this one has stayed relatively healthy over the years, surviving by reinventing itself and finding success on the straight to disc/streaming side of things. When the reboot was announced, it was a surprise, […]
It's become a matter of routine over the past few years for actors to publicly declare their interest in playing a particular superhero character. So routine, that it's almost never newsworthy anymore — and of course, it rarely if ever works. But I kind of love the way that Aubrey Plaza went for it on […]
The full trailer for Child's Play has been unleashed, and it looks terrifying. This is the stuff of my nightmares. Watch it below, in it you can hear Mark Hamill's Chucky voice for the first time as well. In the new Child's Play, Mark Hamill will play a sinister entity that has been updated to […]
Mark Hamill has a new gig, and it is terrifying. He will be providing the voice of Chucky in the new Child's Play film, hitting theaters this summer. Hamill is an iconic voice performer, as we all know, and will be providing nightmare fuel for this writer for the next 30 years after also portraying […]
The first trailer for the new take on Chucky has arrived. Child's Play is coming back to theaters this summer, and it is even more terrifying than before. While we don't get a full look at the murderous doll here, he certainly seems to be up to his old tricks. That means that I have […]
First, a bit of bad news: John Mulaney and Nick Kroll will not be hosting the 2019 Spirit Awards. I am just as sad as you are, because less Mulaney and Kroll makes for a very sad panda. But there is a ray of weirdo sunshine behind this news: Aubrey Plaza, the brilliantly deadpan comedian, […]
While we're still not sure which side of the dualing Child's Play / Chucky projects we're on, there are some interesting updates coming out of the MGM reboot currently filming. One such thing is a set video shared by Brian Tyree Henry on his Instagram account, where he totally punks the cast of young actors and actresses. […]
We literally said out loud, "But is this the good Child's Play thing, with Don Mancini?" when prepping to write about this. Because, as you may know, there is another reboot of Child's Play currently in development on the film side, one which "Chucky Daddy" Mancini (co-writer) is NOT a part of. This project sounds like the one MGM […]
Info courtesy of Bleeding Cool's Marcos Salinas: A trippy Legion season 2 recap just aired at the show's panel at San Diego Comic-Con, and we're going to break it down for you now in the most descriptive manner we can. The recapopens with an egg cracking open, and a black mass extends out of the shell. A […]
One of the surprise series to come with the superhero swarm of shows on tv is Legion. I say surprise because let's be honest here, the majority of us had no idea it was going to be as amazingly trippy as it was (and is). The story of mutants and mental powers being told in the […]
One of the most delightful TV surprises of 2017 was FX's Legion, a wonderfully trippy and more Lynchian than Twin Peaks: The Return show featuring a stylish horror surrealist twist on the comic book genre. We've been anxiously awaiting the full trailer drop after several small teaser trailers have been scattered across the last month, and this morning […]
Arguably one of the breakout television series of 2017 was FX's Legion from Noah Hawley. The X-Men based show followed the main character of psychokinetic David Haller (Dan Stevens) as he struggled with hallucinations and a government entity trying to control him. This morning FX released a trailer for their upcoming 2018 slate of shows titled "Fearless in […]
We'll be getting back to the regular The Weekly Static grind next week; but this week, we're wrapping up 2017 in a pretty little bow with a look back at the five biggest television screw-ups from the past year. From corporate censorship and questionable career choices to really bad hair days and a disappointing Today, […]
All information in this article courtesy of Bleeding Cool's Kaitlyn Booth: Breaking news coming out of the Legion panel at San Diego Comic Con. At the Legion panel, which was opened up with the Bolero sequence from Episode 7, it's been announced that Season 2 of the mutant-centric drama is going to be 10 episodes. It's also […]
