There's no way I could kick off this week's DC FanDome-focused special edition of BCTV Sunday Slices without addressing the 800 lb. Solomon Grundy in the corner. As someone who's gone through a "corporate bloodletting" myself, my heart and best wishes go out to everyone across the board at WarnerMedia who lost their jobs- in […]
We have only eight days to go before WarnerMedia marches out its line-up of upcoming television, film, comics, and video games as part of the 24-hour virtual convention DC FanDome, and the media company is wrapping up a week that saw massive layoffs and restructuring throughout every division of the media company- with DC Comics […]
With over 100 hours of content covering film, television, comics, and video games, WarnerMedia's DC FanDome will have a bit of something for everyone- but if you're like us, you want to know what's going on in the world of the small screen. Set to take place on Saturday, August 22, DC FanDome is broken […]
When it comes to convention coverage season, we've gotten used to there being a bit of a "downtime" between San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) and New York Comic Con (NYCC)- and usually a much-needed one. This year, not so much? Social distancing and statewide COVID-19 health and safety regulations forced SDCC to be done from home […]
Welcome back to another round of BCTV Sunday Slices, our little slice of opinionated heaven where your resident "man-child" (long story, but I realize now that people throw out phrases they actually don't have the ability to understand so that's sad) looks back on the past week in Bleeding Cool Television's (BCTV) coverage to see what […]
With the season finale of The CW and DC Universe's Stargirl now only days away, we're doing something a little different with our preview for "Stars & S.T.R.I.P.E Part Two" so that things stay spoiler-free (preview images throughout and the promo below). After last episode's moral conundrum left things with a lot of floating question […]
And so, DC Universe and HBO Max's Doom Patrol ends its second season prematurely. It was supposed to be 10 episodes instead of 9, but the pandemic caused production to be shut down before the 10th episode could finish shooting. We're left with the abrupt cliffhanger ending of "Wax Patrol" as a cap on this […]
So for all of you who keep wondering why The CW has been pushing the whole "wear a mask" thing, this is why: so show like Supergirl and The Flash can come back to your screens as soon as possible in 2021. To drive that point home, the network released two key art images (one […]
Hard to believe, faithful viewers, but the beautiful weirdness that is DC Universe and HBO Max's Doom Patrol is wrapping up what's been an incredibly strong second season. But that's where we are with "Wax Patrol," as our heroes must face the reality of their respective imaginary friends while Dorothy's (Abigail Shapiro) fate stands revealed. […]
So back in July, The CW put together this big push to get people to wear masks so they… you know… don't die, and even more important? Don't kill other people who don't want to die. The Flash, Supergirl, Black Lightning, Stargirl, and Arrow all showed up in masks to make the point. One month […]
Normally, this is where we would attempt some snarky, sarcastic line about how "it all comes down to this," but with The CW and DC Universe's Stargirl it actually applies in an unironic way. The first of the two-part season finale "Stars & S.T.R.I.P.E Part One" comes at a point when pretty much every member […]
After taking a weekend off to cover Comic-Con@Home, we're back with another edition of BCTV Sunday Slices, our little slice of opinionated heaven where I reflect back longingly on Bleeding Cool Television's (BCTV) coverage from the past week to see what shape the television landscape's been in over the past several days. Just so everyone's on […]
We're at the penultimate episode of DC Universe and HBO Max's Doom Patrol season 2 now. Of course, there would finally be an episode called "Dad Patrol"! Because dads are the worst. They cause all the problems and traumas that scar their kids forever. This episode is about dads and being a father. So where […]
When this week's episode of DC Universe and HBO Max's Doom Patrol opens its doors, it does so with a ton of metaphorical laundry still to fold (making "Dad Patrol" just like every other episode, now that we think about it). So let's see: Kipling (Mark Sheppard) and Caulder (Timothy Dalton) are about to have […]
With only this week's episode to go before The CW's Stargirl launches into its two-part season finale (renewals rule!), Courtney (Brec Bassinger) and Pat (Luke Wilson) are in it pretty deep – though not as "deep" as Jake Austin Walker's Henry King, Jr. What? Too soon? Brainwave's (Christopher James Baker) awake and moving forward with […]
Welcome to "The Great Streaming Wars of 2020"! Is everyone having fun yet? No worries because by the end of August, each and every one of us will be assigned our own personalized streaming service. Then on August 29, (Sky)NetFlix will become self-aware and take ownership of all secondary streaming services, leading to a unity […]
This season of Doom Patrol seems to be speeding right on by. "Dumb Patrol" is the 7th episode which means only two more episodes for the second season, though it still feels like a leisurely stroll despite all the subplots chugging along with the big arc of the threat of the Candlemaker and the Chief's […]
I know one of my favorite parts of SDCC every year is seeing all the fantastic costumes and cosplay there: it's like the best of the best. Between that and well-known costume party convention DragonCon both being canceled in person this year (curse you, Corona), I started wondering if there was any way I could […]
If/when they write the story of the DC Universe streaming service (because we all love a good "rise/fall" story), there will be much debate over the exact moment when the final chapter was being written on the streamer. It's understandable that most believe it started recently because there has been a steady stream of bad […]
In our last preview for The CW's Stargirl, we discussed how bad things were getting for Courtney (Brec Bassinger) and her newly-formed JSA, especially after Courtney discovered Jordan's (Neil Jackson) chilly alter-ego and Barbara (Amy Smart) found Courtney and Pat (Luke Wilson) with the cosmic staff. Now, the easy assumption would be that the former […]
