It's been two years since it was first announced that Universal Content Productions (UCP) was planning to adapt W. Maxwell Prince and Martin Morazzo's Image Comics series Ice Cream Man as a horror anthology (in October 2018) and that short-form content provider Quibi would be its home (in February 2020). In that time, both nothing and something […]
At this point, we're getting the feeling that Robert Ben Garant, Thomas Lennon, Kerri Kenney-Silver, and the rest of the team from Reno 911! would find it easier to just travel to each of our homes and perform the episodes personally. One of the original selling points of the short-length programming provider Quibi was the […]
Welcome back to another serving of BCTV Sunday Slices, where we personally curate a line-up of articles from the past week in Bleeding Cool's television/cable/streaming/online coverage to offer some additional thoughts and perspectives. Some you'll agree with and some you won't. Hopefully, you'll laugh, get pissed, shed a tear, and even learn a little something […]
What do you get when you combine a global pandemic that forces people to stay home and in front of their screens, media powerhouses Jeffrey Katzenberg and Meg Whitman, and nearly $2 billion in start-up capital? Reportedly not much, with news circulating on Wednesday that Quibi will be officially shutting down. The Wall Street Journal […]
Welcome back to another serving of BCTV Sunday Slices, where I take a look at the past week in BCTV's coverage to offer a thought or two on the topic. Once again, the views expressed here are my own and don't necessarily reflect on the rest of the fine folks at Bleeding Cool. Which is […]
Horror has a rocky history with television. With the options presented on streaming platforms today, original content that seeks to frighten the viewer can easily fall flat, but Quibi decided to go for it with their original series 50 States of Fright. The second season of the horror anthology recently premiered on the platform with the […]
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 […]
Welcome back to another edition of BCTV Sunday Slices, where I take a look back at the week in Bleeding Cool's broadcast, cable, and streaming coverage to offer a little "extra perspective"- a nice way of saying that I'm getting to shoot my mouth off on a bunch of things that tickled the back of […]
Just when you thought it was safe to walk the streets of Reno, Nevada, original series creators, writers, and cast members Robert Ben Garant, Thomas Lennon, and Kerri Kenney-Silver are bringing Dangle (Lennon) and his dysfunctional squad of potential do-gooders back to Quibi for Reno 911! Part 2. Starting August 24, viewers will be treated to […]
As we're sure you know by now, we've been tracking the growing "Emmys Burn War" between It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia co-stars (as well as wife and husband) Kaitlin Olson and Rob McElhenney over the past week or so. It started when Olson celebrated her Emmy nomination for Outstanding Actress: Short Form Comedy/Drama with a backhanded […]
Have you heard of Mapleworth Murders? It's actually pretty good, which is surprising because it's on Quibi. Of course, that means the bar is already set so low, it basically just had to show up and not be a flaming pile of dog poo (not you, Reno 9-1-1). However, it's much better than any other […]
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 […]
Let's start off by getting to know each other a little better. I'm the person whose name you see at the top of this article, aka Television Editor, aka the person who oversees the section of Bleeding Cool that some of you feel "doesn't understand what Bleeding Cool is all about." As for you… it […]
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 […]
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 […]
Not only is "The Hunt" on once again but we now actually know when it starts. On Friday, short-form digital content service Quibi released the official trailer as well as preview images for its take on The Fugitive, starring Boyd Holbrook (Milk, Gone Girl) as innocent-man-on-the-run Mike Ferro and Kiefer Sutherland (24, Designated Survivor) as […]
Welcome back to BCTV Sunday Slices, our little slice of opinionated heaven where I look back at Bleeding Cool's television (BCTV) coverage from the past week to offer up some wisdom on the conditions of the television landscape over the past several days. This week, things had that slow-n-steady vibe as Skybound Xpo happened this […]
Self-professed best non-professional FIFA player on the planet, The Daily Social Distancing Show host Trevor Noah and Quibi are teaming up for a new series to prove that the late-night host is the best at a whole lot of other games, too. In Player vs. Player with Trevor Noah, Noah will go head-to-head with some […]
It's time once again for BCTV Sunday Slices, our little slice of weekly heaven where I look back at Bleeding Cool's television (BCTV) coverage from the past week to offer some blunt, opinionated thoughts on what became of the television landscape over the past several days. This week, we saw a post-holiday weekend slow build […]
Quibi continues their fake-it-till-you-make-it strategy and announced an adaptation of Junji Ito's infamous horror manga series Tomie. Adeline Rudolph, fresh off filming the final production of Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, will play the title character. The new production will be written by Aquaman screenwriter David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick and European horror producer-director Alexandre Aja, who came […]
