Here are Your Peak 2017 Emmy Moments & Winners

Julia Louis-Dreyfuss broke the record for the most awards won by one actor for a single role. She is perfection as Selina Meyer in Veep, and has won for her portrayal six years running. The show also won for Outstanding Comedy Series,

Frank Castle Goes Full Rambo in new The Punisher Teaser

Netflix has kept details about their upcoming Daredevil spinoff, The Punisher, under lock and key. This is why this new teaser is so intriguing, as it gives us a glimpse of Jon Bernthal’s Frank Castle in a brief but grisly sequence, that ends with Frank Castle telling the camera (which was attached to the helmet of a soldier who had been hunting him), “I’m coming for you.”

How Documentary Now!’s Emmy Nominated Director Makes a Joke of Serious Films

Saturday Night Live is a mecca for comedians, where stars like Eddie Murphy, Amy Poehler, and Will Ferrell and writers like Conan O’Brien and Tina Fey took their careers to new heights. The show’s most memorable sketches have launched successful spin off projects like Wayne’s World and The Blues Brothers. Documentary Now! is one of the latest SNL inspired projects to unite the show’s alums outside Studio 8H.

Watch Chapter 1 of an Animated History of Game of Thrones

Imagine how incredibly helpful this would have been for folks who couldn’t keep the sprawling world of Westeros straight, especially those of us who didn’t read the books and aren’t as well versed in Game of Thrones history and lore? HBO has revealed the first chapter of Conquest & Rebellion: An Animated History of the Seven Kingdoms. This 45-minute special will be included in the season 7 Blu-Ray and DVD set,

Westworld‘s Emmy-Nominated Cinematographer on the Park’s Sinister Secrets

HBO’s Westworld hypnotized viewers this year. The titular park was a literal tourist trap, offering the well-heeled the opportunity to live out any fantasy without consequence, until the hosts get other ideas. Inspired by Michael Crichton’s 1973 film, the reboot was a hit featuring the clean, calm lines of the welcome center contrasted with the gritty Wild West themed park. Cinematographer Paul Cameron (Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales) disrupted the serene pretense upheld by the park’s producers to deliver a sense of foreboding about the sinister secrets within.

5 Records that could be broken at the Emmy Awards

Last year, Game of Thrones broke the record for most Emmy Award wins for a primetime show. The show has won 38 awards over the course of its first six seasons, beating the record once set by Frasier, which earned 37 awards over the course of its 11-season run. Game of Thrones also holds the record for most Emmy wins for a single season.

Game of Thrones to Shoot Multiple Endings to Ward off Spoilers

Even more dasterdly than the Night King and his entire army of the dead are the people who will stop at nothing to ruin Game of Thrones for the rest of us. Another way to look at the news that HBO is planning on shooting multiple endings to Game of Thrones is that its just an example of extreme caution, making sure that any member of the cast or crew who may accidentally (or otherwise) let slip how the world of Westeros is left once the last episode is over can’t spoil the show for the rest of us. 

Behold Netflix’s Super NSFW Animated Series Big Mouth

Still here? Ok, go ahead and press play on one of the funniest (and raunchiest) animated trailers ever. Nick Kroll and John Mulaney have teamed up with an impressive cast of pretty much every successful comedian in Hollywood to create an outrageous comedy about puberty.

Here’s What the Star Trek: Discovery Theme Song Sounds Like

CBS has released a sneak peak of the Star Trek: Discovery theme song ahead of the series’ premiere. The video features composer Jeff Russo, whose music you’ve heard on Legion and Fargo, leading the orchestra through his composition.

Place Your Bets: Putting Odds on Our Favorite Game of Thrones Season 8 Predictions

Thanks to a touch of dragon’s fire, the Army of the Dead has breached the wall at Eastwatch. Jon Snow, er, Aegon Targaryen, thinks he has united Westeros to repel their invasion. Meanwhile, he is having carnal relations with Daenerys, who also happens to be his aunt, and the two each have a rightful claim to the Iron Throne.

But while one incestuous relationship blossoms, another withers when Jamie Lanaster peels himself from his sister Queen Cersei’s bed.

Creative Arts Emmy Awards: SNL, Stranger Things & Westworld win big

The Creative Arts Emmy Awards, spread over two nights, bestowed a bevy of awards to perennial powerhouse HBO (19!), but also had a lot of love for Netflix (16) and NBC (9) for what was another very strong year on the small screen. It shouldn’t be surprising that NBC’s Saturday Night Live was a big winner, with five awards, thanks to a ton of attention to show’s lampooning of the 2016 presidential election and standout,

The Deuce Costume Designer on Dressing the Pimps & Working Girls of 1970s Times Square

When it came to crafting an authentic look for the Times Square hustlers at the center of HBO’s birth-of-pornography series The Deuce (debuting Sunday), costume designer Anna Terrazas enjoyed an invaluable resource in the person of show co-creator George Pelecanos. Long before he teamed with David Simon (The Wire) to produce this 1971 period piece, Pelecanos sold shoes. “George used to work in a shoe store in the seventies,

Here’s How They Made That Disgusting Greyscale Surgery Scene on Game of Thrones

Poor Jorah Mormont. The long suffering son of Lord Commander Jeor Mormont (the latter died believing his son was a failure and traitor to the family name) lived in exile in Essos, eventually finding himself commissioned to spy on Daenerys Targaryen. Initially pretending to be her advisor, Jorahn eventually fell in love with Dany, and believed her to be the best possible ruler of Westeros.

Game of Thrones VFX Reel Reveals how They Built the Battle Beyond the Wall

While the chatter from the super kinetic seventh season of Game of Thrones begins to fade, some of the key folks who helped bring the season to life are showing off their work. Perhaps the most technically ambitious season yet, including massive set pieces, a lot of digital work, and the show’s usual array of incredible locations mixed with stage and green screen work, season 7 brought out the best from some of the most highly respected below-the-line creatives in the industry.

True Detective Season 3 is Happening

HBO has made it official, folks: True Detective season 3 is happening, and it’s bringing in a bunch of serious artists to right the ship after a rocky season 2.

Now, word is that another piece of the puzzle has been added;

Game of Thrones: Watch 1st Episode of HBO’s 7-Part Behind-the-Scenes Series Now

With the end of every season of Game of Thrones comes your own, long winter. It’s always sad saying goodbye to the drama queens and kings of Westeros, especially this season, with the end so near (and yet, the final season so far, far away). 

HBO feels your pain (and enjoys your ratings), so they’ve prepared a 7-part behind-the-scenes series, diving into the nitty gritty details on what it took to make season 7. 

A Computer Program has Begun Writing Final Game of Thrones Book “The Winds of Winter”

Game of Thrones fans were once installed in two very distinct houses; those who had read George R. R. Martin’s books and those who hadn’t. Then, David Benioff and D.B. Weiss’s juggernaut show caught up to, and surpassed, Martin’s books, uniting those houses after a years-long semi-bitter feud. While Game of Thrones spent season 7 rushing towards the Great War with the Night King and his army of the dead, Martin has been (as he has been for a while now) plugging away on the final book in his epic series,

Super Popular (and Creepy) Horror Podcast Lore Adapted as Anthology Series for Amazon

We often forget that our most enduring myths, from vampires to werewolves, from changelings to possessed dolls, originated from actual occurrences in real life. This is the premise behind the wildly popular podcast “Lore,” launched in March 2015 by Aaron Mahnke. “Lore” quickly become a critical hit, ending up on “must listen” and “best of” lists, including from Entertainment Weekly and Apple. 

Of course Amazon’s new horror anthology series,

Marvel’s The Punisher Releases new Teaser, Episode Titles

Jon Bernthal’s tortured Frank Castle, also known as the Punisher, was an instant fan favorite when he appeared on Daredevil. Now, as we prepare for The Punisher’s stand-alone Netflix series, we’re learning a bit more about what to expect, including word that another Marvel hero will be heavily involved.  

ComicBookMovie.com reports that Marvel’s SVP of Creator and Content Development, C.B. Cebulski, teased that another Marvel hero would be appearing in the series,

Game of Thrones: Dissecting Cersei’s Turn to The Golden Company

It would probably take the Lord of Light to show us the way through all our questions after Sunday’s Game of Thrones season 7 finale, “The Dragon and the Wolf.” Some of these are small bore questions, in which the fate of Westeros doesn’t hinge (like where did Bronn and Podrick disappear to), while others are, well, rather huge. It’s funny, while we were putting together this list of questions,
