Behold Bud Light’s Game of Thrones Super Bowl Ad

Big brands have always used the Super Bowl as an opportunity to flex their creative muscles. While we always expect new spots for major movies during the big game, like last night’s Captain Marvel and Avengers: Endgame, it’s always a guessing game which company will bring our their narrative big guns. Last year, Doritos dropped the second most surprising win at the Super Bowl (the Philadelphia Eagles beating the New England Patriots was the night’s most shocking victory) when they delivered their now iconic Game of Thrones-themed commercial.

What’s Coming and Going on Netflix in February

As temperatures across the United States are dropping to their “lowest in a generation” – and that romantic day for non-single people rolls around – here’s what Netflix is bringing to your small screens in February.

If love is all you need, look no further than Dating Around, Netflix’s first original dating show, premiering right on Valentine’s Day. Original film The Breaker Upperers is also sure to set your heart aflutter.

The Mysterious Big Lebowski Project is Revealed

If you cannot withstand certain disappointment right now, click on. The truth about that Big Lebowski tease has been revealed. While still entertaining and clever, the real reason for The Dude’s return was far less dramatic than we had fantasized.

Late last week, Jeff Bridges tweeted out 15-second footage of The Dude 20 years on. The tease was totally enticing, but it was just that. A tease. We were suspicious that the clip pointed to the date of the Super Bowl,

How I Am the Night‘s Creator Built Noir Series Around a Nearly Mythic True Crime

True crime fans have long obsessed over the “Black Dahlia” murder that first made headlines in 1947 when 22-year old aspiring actress Elizabeth Short turned up mutilated on the streets of Los Angeles. Mystery writer James Ellroy (L.A. Confidential) authored a book about the case after his own mother was murdered in a similar fashion. A 2006 Black Dahlia movie further chronicled the mystery surrounding wealthy doctor George Hodel,

Lena Headey is Rooting for Cersei in Game of Thrones

Cersei has a real shot at ending up on the Iron Throne, but it would probably be the least popular ending to Game of Thrones. She’s been ruthless, manipulative, and outright evil through the first seven seasons. Her wickedness knows no limits. Even her own family isn’t safe. When actress Lena Headey stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live, the host tried to pry clues about whether Cersei would finally have her way.

The Final Episodes of Game of Thrones Will be Movie-Like

We’ve known for quite a while now that the final six episodes of Game of Thrones would be longer than average. We’ve known that because the shortened season involves the largest battle the show has ever filmed, and there’s no way they’d try to cram that into six normal-sized episodes. You don’t spend 55-days shooting likely the largest battle ever produced for television and then not use your considerable clout to get HBO to agree to longer-than-normal episodes.

The Game of Thrones Zombie Polar Bear Was Filmed Using a Flaming Wire Frame

More than a year after its debut, there is one Game of Thrones appearance that is still burning bright in our minds. Literally. While we wait for the final season to kick off in April, we still cannot get over that flaming zombie polar bear and a new video revealing how it was created has renewed our amazement.

In season 7 episode “Beyond the Wall,” Jon Snow and his men face the living corpse of a polar bear.

Can the Night King Resurrect Long Dead Starks & Other Questions Following the Game of Thrones Teaser

So we’ve all watched that cryptic Game of Thrones teaser, correct? HBO has become expert at creating teasers that don’t actually show us footage from the upcoming season but are more like very beautifully crafted, narratively relevant art pieces. This most recent teaser was not the kind of fan-baiting that we’ve seen in the past (that melting block of ice, anyone?), but rather an artfully staged trip both into the past and the future,

Game of Thrones Season 8 Trailer Teases Epic Clash, Reveals Premiere Date

The first official teaser for Game of Thrones 8th and final season begins more or less where the epic series began—the Crypt of Winterfell. I say the series began there because it was Ned Stark (Sean Bean)’s death in season one that sent such shockwaves through the viewing public (especially for those of us who hadn’t read George R. R. Martin’s “A Song of Fire and Ice” novel series) and made Game of Thrones a show even people who claimed to hate fantasy pay attention to.

Captain Marvel Writer Joins The Vision and Scarlet Witch Series

Saying goodbye hurts a little less when you know you’ll see them again. That is definitely the case when it comes to Vision and Scarlet Witch. Avengers: Infinity War was a heartbreaker, but the most devastating moments came from the power couple who made big sacrifices to try to save lives across the universe. Luckily, their story will continue on the small screen, whether or not they are resurrected in Endgame.

Storm Troopers Descend in New Star Wars Resistance Trailer

The galaxy is a big place. Not the Milky Way. Whatever far away and long-ago galaxy that hosts the events of Star Wars. Even though we have been catching up on a new generation in the movies, there is a lot more going on than can fit into three feature-length films. Enter Star Wars Resistance that premiered on Disney channel in October and has been picking up lightspeed. The animated series has been on winter break but returns this Sunday following an action-packed new trailer.

HBO’s CEO Hints at the Epic Scope of Game of Thrones Season 8

The battle for the Iron Throne will end this year. As fire and ice meet, we will only have six episodes to resolve the eight-season Game of Thrones epic. We got our first look earlier this week with a few seconds in a new HBO promo. Information about the final season is slowly beginning to leak out, but considering the scope of the series, it is difficult to fathom how all the loose ends will be tied up.

HBO Reveals the Game of Thrones Prequel’s Full Cast & Director

We got our first glimpse at some footage from the 8th and final season of Game of Thrones during the Golden Globes broadcast, but HBO is already looking ahead at their upcoming GoT prequel.

We already knew—and were thrilled—that Naomi Watts would headline the prequel as a “socialite hiding a dark secret.” We also knew that Jane Goldman was the showrunner, and Poldark‘s Josh Whitehouse would have a key role in the series.

Sam Rockwell and Michelle Williams Sizzle in First Fosse/Verdon Trailer

FX saw big wins at the Golden Globes last night with The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story and The Americans. ACS is an anthology series making Versace a one-time season and The Americans aired its final season in 2018. So, what is the next big thing for the groundbreaking channel? Hopefully, Fosse/Verdon because my inner theater nerd is shaken by the new trailer.

Green Book Leads Highly Competitive 2019 Golden Globes

The Golden Globes nominations were so packed with incredible storytelling this year that it was difficult to make predictions going into the big night. If you were torn among several categories on your ballot, that’s with the good reason. The awards show proved that on screens both large and small, it was anyone’s game. Award shows can get a little repetitive when a single title is making a sweep, but that was not the case this year.

HBO Reveals First Footage From Game of Thrones Final Season

What better time for HBO to drop the first official footage from Game of Thrones 8th and final season than during the Golden Globes? With a TV and film-loving audience planted on their couches as a captive audience, it’s a great opportunity for studios and networks to tease their upcoming projects (as Marvel did for Captain Marvel). Not only was HBO teasing the GoT, but we also got a peek at the first footage from Damon Lindelof’s Watchmen series.

Ruby Rose’s Batwoman Role Will Be Expanded in Spinoff Pilot Episode

Kate Kane was one of the most buzzed about TV characters of last year, even though she only had a few minutes of screen time and appeared on a series other than her own. Ruby Rose was announced in the role to much fanfare back in August, but the news was just that she would appear in the Arrow-verse crossover event “Elseworlds.” Unsurprisingly, Rose made a magnificent debut as Kane and Batwoman has officially snagged a standalone series.

Stranger Things 3 Announces a Summer Release

These poor kids. Haven’t they been through enough already? The Upside down, the Mind Flayer, the Demogorgons. That should be enough for any preteen years. Can the next season be called Awkward School Dances or Boring Summer Job? No? It’s still called Stranger Things? Fine, but please pick on someone other than Will Byers (Noah Schnapp) this time.

Your favorite supernatural teenage torture show dropped in on the New Year to announce its return.

Gelflings Come Alive Once More in New The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance Images

CG technology has brought us a long way for entertainment and opened new worlds and allowed for new kinds of performance in recent years. However, there is a spirit to practical effects that is unmatched. It’s the knowledge that what you’re seeing on screen actually filled real space in the universe. Even though the stories are make-believe, those characters are real objects you can reach out and touch. Jim Henson was an indisputable pioneer of puppetry and one of the masters of fantasy.

The Mall is Where It’s At for Stranger Things 3 Episode Title Reveal

Brick and mortar stores may be giving way more each day to online purchases, but malls were once king. They went beyond shopping opportunities and were cultural centers of suburbs. Often in malls of the 1980s, you could see movies, play arcade games, get glamour shots, and apparently battle Demogorgons. Netflix has announced the season 3 lineup of Stranger Things and it appears to be focused on that oh so important haven of 1980s teendom.
