Davies' run; Netflix's Midnight Mass star Rahul Kohli making it clear he's no fan of the iZombie finale, Amazon's The Boys offering the first two seasons on a Blu-ray combo set & Vought corrupting kids one burger at a time; Adria Arjona (Morbius) discussing auditioning for Disney+'s Star Wars: Andor, AMC's The Walking Dead previewing[...]
Ravi Chakrabarti on The CW's horror dramedy series iZombie, co-starring with CBS' Ghosts' Rose McIver Running for five seasons from 2015 to 2019, Kohli still sees the role as both a career and a life-changing opportunity But during his recent interview with Michael Rosenbaum for the Inside of You podcast, he also opened up about[...]
The CW had us wondering if Jared Padalecki's growing Walker family was going to include a mother – and we got our answer in the form of Molly Hagan (iZombie, The Orville) The actress joins the Supernatural soon-to-be-alum as well as Lindsey Morgan (The 100), Keegan Allen (Pretty Little Liars), and Mitch Pileggi (The X-Files)[...]
It was sad to sit and watch the series finale of The CW's iZombie, having been a diehard fan of the show from day one I wasn't sure what I was bracing myself for or how I truly wanted it to end Did I want a bloodbath and a slaughter of all my favorite characters,[...]
The series finale of The CW's iZombie will definitely offer up a bloodbath. I don't foresee any side truly being able to claim victory by the time the dust settles on "All's Well That Ends Well." Humans will use weapons; zombies will use 1000lbs of brute force and rage It does not seem plausible that[...]
With The CW's iZombie coming to an end, this week's episode "Bye, Zombies" was full of action, drama, tears, and comedy In fact, some characters cried a little too much – making my skin crawl just a smidge and wishing for her immediate death I guess I was wrong, and Martin (Bill Wise) really is[...]
With a title like "Bye, Zombies" the brain starts working towards a definite cure to wrap up The CW's iZombie, or the alternative? A zombie extinction What possible devastating discovery can Liv (Rose Mclver) make? Her father creating the zombie virus, being the head of 'operation zombie outbreak', and pretty much being a cold-blooded killer[...]
Approaching the end of The CW's iZombie, this week's episode "Killer Queen" was subdued yet eventful, probably the best way I can describe it. Although a lot happened, the "WOW" factor was missing. It played out as if you got some spaghetti sauce on your white shirt but had a pen stain remover handy "no[...]
In this week's episode of The CW's iZombie, Liv (Rose McIver) goes drag queen and looks fabulous, while Major (Robert Buckley) and Ravi (Rahul Kohli) get "weird"? Clearly Ravi and Liv make it out unscathed from Martin's (Bill Wise) basement I can't even fathom how Liv will address the imprisoned zombies in her dad's basement[...]
This week's episode of The CW's iZombie "Night and the Zombie City" was very much reminiscent of the first season where we got a to follow the plot of a good old-fashioned murder and watch Liv (Rose McIver), Ravi (Rahul Kohli) and Clive (Malcolm Goodwin) work it from start to finish While investigating the death[...]
Based on Warner Bros.' 1987 horror film of the same name, the pilot was written by Heather Mitchell (Scandal) – with Shapiro set as lead vamp David (originally played by 24's Kiefer Sutherand) and Rahimi as Stella (a variation on Jami Gertz's (Square Pegs) character Star from the original film).
Now comes word from producer Rob[...]
With the fifth and final season of The CW's iZombie raging towards its brain-blasting series finale (we're concerned about your well-being, New Seattle), Liv (Rose McIver) takes a break from what might turn out to be tragically-destined father/daughter bonding time with Martin (Bill Wise) to enjoy a little "gumshoe gumbo." That's right, Liv's going all[...]
This week's episode of the CW's iZombie "The Fresh Princess" dropped a number of bombs very nonchalantly The way things are going, it probably won't be necessary for Washington to nuke New Seattle, they seem to be doing a great job of speed training their own demise Martin (Bill Wise) organizing the zombies, Dolly (Jennifer[...]
This week's episode of The CW's iZombie "The Fresh Princess" is bound to be full of laughs and what looks like bad decisions Why is Liv's (Rose McIver) mother back in the picture? Does she get word that Liv against her warnings has connected with her father Martin (Bill Wise) seems to be in Liv[...]
This week's episode of CW's iZombie "Death of a Car Salesman" had a number of shocking flashbacks – something not very typical of the show and I'm not sure how I feel about it Martin Roberts (Bill Wise) aka Beanpole Bob and Mr Boss (Eddie Jemmison) go way back and apparently Martin was responsible for[...]
Last week's episode of the CW's iZombie "Filleted to Rest" ended with the general's daughter being kidnapped in a black van In this week's episode "Death of a Car Salesman," it looks as though her father will be making a guest appearance in New Seattle to get to the bottom of her disappearance – why[...]
This week's episode of CW's iZombie "Filleted to Rest" was dedicated to all thing's family I must admit quite poetic to have this episode air the week of Father's Day Liv (Rose McIver) is reunited with her dad… but hold off on the happy momentum though: daddy dearest is psycho metal plate cult leader Martin[...]
With this week's preview for CW iZombie "Filleted to Rest," we're giving our resident show critic/expert the week off to deal with her Blaine (David Anders) obsession (but make sure to check out her review of last week's "The Scratchmaker" here) So while she's off having a "namaste" moment, here's a look at this week's[...]
This week's episode of the CW's iZombie "Scratchmaker" was dedicated to all things Blaine (David Anders) I must confess he is one of my favorite characters and I found myself being a smidge disturbed that the episode started off with him wearing an orange jumpsuit – but hey, a cockroach will always find a way[...]
If you've been following Bleeding Cool's weekly coverage of the fifth and final season of the CW's iZombie – especially coming out of last week's episode "Death Moves Pretty Fast" – then you know that our "New Seattle" heroes have been facing a building tension between humans and zombies that doesn't look to be ending[...]
This week's episode of CW's iZombie "Death Moves Pretty Fast" not only held parodies to Ferris Bueller's Day Off when Liv (Rose McIver) consumed the brain of a 19-year-old carefree wealthy DJ named Harris (Philip Bolden), but spiraled out of control with its plots Seeing the trailer for this upcoming episode, I truly believed all[...]
In typical CW iZombie fashion I can only assume that "Death Moves Pretty Fast" will be full of Bueller references and comedic outbursts The title alone – a take on Ferris Bueller line, "Life moves pretty fast If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it" – sets a[...]
Usher (Survivor's Remorse) as speedster with a major PR problem, A-Train; Nathan Mitchell (iZombie) as Black Noir, a masked superhero with fighting and martial arts skills; and Alex Hassell as perverted invisible hero Translucent (who's not really…you know… "translucent").
Erin Moriarty (Jessica Jones) joins the cast as Starlight/Annie, a young woman who can make lightning bolts flash from her eyes[...]
The most recent episode of the CW's iZombie "Dot Zom" left me with too many cliffhangers and wishing I didn't have to wait a whole week for the next episode – which I can only assume is a good thing from the writing standpoint since it keeps viewers on their toes This week: a creepy[...]
It seems that the lighthearted nature of last week's episode of the CW's iZombie will not be repeated this week with "Dot Zom." With lines like "Your time is almost up, zombie" this week we are sure to expect chaos – fear for the existence of the zombie population while inching closer and closer to[...]
With the latest season outing from the CW's iZombie "Five, Six, Seven, Ate!," I was taken back to the first season and why I got hooked on the show to begin with A legitimate murder case; Liv (Rose McIver) and Clive (Malcolm Goodwin) in full detective mode swing; Ravi (Rahul Kohli) and Liv engaged in[...]
Last week's episode of CW's iZombie made my head spin like The Exorcist from its fast paced, emotionally neurotic plot twists and turns This week "Five, Six, Seven, Ate!", all I can say is "Hubba Hubba!": it will require a bottle of wine and a nightcap It appears Ravi (Fahul Kohil) and Liv (Rose Mclver)[...]
After a very disappointing premiere episode of the CW's iZombie, second episode "Dead Lift" spun quickly out of control Talk about putting on the breaks and then cutting the break line while going 90 mph on the freeway Two zombie-human attack cover ups, two of our beloved cast members dead, the return of the guillotine,[...]
After the season premiere left me disappointed and craving more action, more Liv – and more brains – we're ecstatic that the second episode of the fifth season of CW's iZombie "Dead Lift" appears to be a redeeming follow up The continuation of "Thug Death" – still with no body to speak of – has[...]
