Halloween Might be Over, But Stranger Things Day is Coming
Halloween 2018 has come and gone. Perhaps you wore something inspired from The Haunting of Hill House, or went in more of a glam direction and channeled your inner Freddie Mercury. The day after Halloween can have a bit of a gloomy cast, what with the post-candy hangover (to say nothing of how the adults are feeling after costume parties). Fear not, costume-lovers, for Netflix is giving you another reason to dress up in less than a week—Stranger Things Day. ...

Naomi Watts to Star in Game of Thrones Prequel Pilot for HBO
Naomi Watts just booked a ticket to Westeros. Deadline reports that the two-time Oscar-nominee will be starring in Jane Goldman (Kingsman: The Secret Service)’s Game of Thrones prequel pilot. The story was written by Goldman and George R. R. Martin and will take place long before Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen were the biggest power couple in the Seven Kingdoms.

The most delightfully nerdy event in the nerdy history of Star Trek may be what nerded today. CBS All Access has picked up two seasons of a new animated series call Star Trek: Lower Decks.

Midge Has Big Goals for Her Career in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel Season 2
Praise be to the comedy gods. The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is just weeks away from returning.

She took some big risks with even bigger repercussions that will hopefully be addressed when the Emmy winning show returns...
The Vietnam War Sound Designer on Enhancing Emotional Memories of the War
The Vietnam War was a harrowing conflict with ramifications that spread far from the fighting. It was the most divisive war of the 20th century that haunted veterans and civilians alike for decades. Cameras captured the brutal battles with unprecedented access. Piecing together hundreds of hours of archival footage and interviews with survivors, celebrated documentarians Ken Burns and Lynn Novick assembled an intimate portrait of the horror and humanity of the war. The Vietnam War created an illusion of immersion that demanded reconstruction of scenes with no or low-quality sound and gripping witness accounts...
Peter Dinklage Feels Good About Tyrion’s Conclusion in Game of Thrones
No, Peter Dinklage has not spilled the beans on how Game of Thrones ends. The man’s no fool, and considering he’s been one of the biggest stars on HBO’s biggest series, he’s not about to give away the game with but one (shortened) season to go. Dinklage was willing, however, to opine about how he feels about Tyrion’s fate, a character that has been, to a large degree, the stand-in for audiences around the globe, the one person in all of Westeros you actually might be friends with...
Mysterious Masked Figure Featured in First Look of HBO’s Watchmen
Who watches the watchmen? This is one of the most deathless lines from one of the most iconic graphic novels of all time, “Watchmen,” created in the late 80s by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons. The phrase is likely based on the Latin “quis custodiet ipsos custodes,” found in the work of a Roman poet named Juvenal, which is literally translated as “Who will guard the guards themselves.” This phrase, seen throughout “Watchmen” in the form of graffiti,...
