Did you grow up with 1980s cartoons? I'm talking about the ones that were basically created by toy companies as a cash grab with very little regard to story, art, or taste. Now, as someone who was not even considered until the mid-1990s, I lucked out and missed all the horrors of the saccharine Saturday […]

Yes, we've finally gotten to one of my favorite seasons of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars, quite possibly of the entire Drag Race franchise. It takes the "Lip Sync for Your Legacy" All Stars rules and really shapes them into a great competition and demands the queens rise to the occasion. To quote the amazing […]

The last time we checked in on CBS's upcoming The Silence of the Lambs sequel series Clarice, The Resident executive producer Elizabeth Klaviter was being named showrunner and executive producer.

Welcome back to another edition of BCTV's Sunday Slices, where I take a look at the past week in Bleeding Cool's television/streaming coverage to offer my thoughts on what went down, what's going down, and what's about to take off in the not-too-distant future. Once again, my thoughts/opinions are my own and do not necessarily […]
Since the resurgence of the Star Trek franchise on CBS All Access, there's a sizable proportion of the franchise base felt left out longing for the traditional non-serialized storytelling they grew accustomed to since the days of The Original Series. Upon conception, Discovery and Picard became live-action serials series and the animated Lower Decks as […]
Arguably the most anticipated season of Star Trek: Discovery since its premiere will be its third when the crew goes to where no other Federation ship has ever gone before…into the distant future.

Now, I didn't grow up in the 80s, but I do love me some vintage cartoons, and I did grow up living my Jem and the Holograms fantasy. It's like Barbie meets Hannah Montana with a dash of X-Men… and makes it fashion. Yes, there was a reboot movie… which bombed and was terrible and […]
There's something to be said about resting on one's laurels on how we take for granted the routines we wrap ourselves in.
