In honor of the late Chadwick Boseman (Black Panther, Da 5 Bloods), who passed away after a four-year battle with cancer at the age of 43, I'm going to put our regular BCTV Sunday Slices intro on ice for the week. Instead, we'll kick things off with some words from Boseman himself: "I don't know […]
When we think about the eclectic programming on streamers like Netflix, Hulu or Amazon, the games can pay off handsomely on projects normally passed by the major networks. Would we know for certain if HBO would have given a series like The Witcher or Castlevania a shot on their premium network before HBO Max came […]
If you jumped online for WarnerMedia's DC FanDome on August 22nd, it would be safe to say that you weren't alone. In fact, according to the multimedia corporation, there were approximately 21,999,999 other people joining you over the course of the online event's 24 hours. Since we're playing the numbers game, you were also sharing […]
One of the things we love about press junkets during Emmy Awards voting season (which wraps up on Monday) is the number of new things you learn about the shows you thought you knew. Sometimes it's a confirmation of something the fans had already pieced together, and other times it's some really brain-blowing stuff that […]
While it would be easy for Damon Lindelof to get lost in the euphoria that comes with his "remix" pseudo-sequel to comic book classic Watchmen earning 26 Emmy nominations (including for Outstanding Drama Series and acting noms for Regina King, Jeremy Irons, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Jovan Adepo, Louis Gossett Jr., and Jean Smart), he's always made it […]
While the dumpster fires of random speculation continue to rage over the possibility of a reunion of The Office cast and creative team, Spotify's An Oral History of The Office podcast (with cast member Brian Baumgartner as host) has been doing an amazing job of looking back on the series and speaking with those who […]
While we might not be getting as much of the trademark "walk and talk" as we're used to, that's a very small price to pay for a reunion of The West Wing– and 17 years later? That's exactly what original series creator Aaron Sorkin and HBO Max are set to deliver fans, with Martin Sheen, Rob […]
With Damon Lindelof's "remix" pseudo-sequel to comic book classic Watchmen heading into next month's Emmy Awards with 26 nominations (the most this year, including for Outstanding Drama Series and acting recognition for Regina King, Jeremy Irons, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Jovan Adepo, Louis Gossett Jr., and Jean Smart), Craig Mazin (Chernobyl) has returned for a special edition of "The […]
In case the official trailer for director/executive producer Ridley Scott and HBO Max's sci-fi drama Raised by Wolves that was released earlier this month wasn't enough to convince you to check out the series when it premieres on September 3, how about a second? The 10-episode action-drama features Scott directing the first two episodes, marking his television […]
Welcome to a post-DC FanDome edition of BCTV Sunday Slices, after a week of some really big announcements but a little soft when it comes to news. That said, "a little soft" still covers a wide range of topics. This weekend, we sing the praises of Lovecraft Country, like the feeling of having Archer back, […]
After news broke last month that The Batman filmmaker Matt Reeves was expanding his footprint in the DCU with a series commitment for a DC Comics drama for HBO Max set in the Gotham City police department, fans were hoping for more details at this weekend's DC FanDome- and they weren't disappointed. Stemming from Reeves, […]
When the smoke cleared on the second season of once-upon-a-time DC Universe's Titans, viewers were faced with one of our heroes dead, one possibly dead (though it's the comics world, so if your name's not "Uncle Ben", there's a good chance you won't stay dead for long), one heading off to greener pastures, and Nightwing […]
One of the silver linings of this global pandemic is that while other traditional productions have had to shut down, animated shows have been able to adapt more easily to a distributed model of production. And so while the production of many of our live-action shows still is up in the air, we've had announcements […]
With one episode, series creator and executive producer Misha Green and executive producers Jordan Peele and J.J. Abrams' Lovecraft Country has quickly jumped to the top of our "must keep watching" list. With a teleplay from Green and direction from Yann Demange, the premiere episode was a masterclass in series-openers- making it nearly a no-brainer that we […]
So you're a fan of what WarnerMedia and DC have coming up when it comes to television, film, video games, and comics, but you can't be online this Saturday, August 22, for their 24-hour virtual con DC FanDome to find out more? No worries, because you're getting a second chance to check out the panels […]
With a teleplay from series creator and executive producer Misha Green and direction from Yann Demange, HBO's premiere episode of Lovecraft Country was a masterclass in how you pull viewers in, tie their brains down, and offer them all of the mystery and emotion they need to join Atticus (Jonathan Majors), who joins up with […]
With HBO's supernatural-drama series Lovecraft Country officially beginning its journey down some long, dark, and deadly roads starting this Sunday, series creator and executive producer Misha Green and series star Jurnee Smollett (Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey) have been making the rounds to promote the adaptation of Matt Ruff's novel. But speaking with Variety, the […]
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 […]
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 […]
To say that this has been a week of change, loss, and upheaval at WarnerMedia would be a dramatic understatement. With its big product push DC FanDome only ten days away, DC Comics, DC Universe, and other areas of the multimedia company saw firings and restructurings as the company looked to reduce its debt load […]
