Game of Thrones Confusion: No One Seems to Know for Sure What Viserion is Breathing
If there’s one thing Game of Thrones theorists and speculators would like to believe, it’s that there’s an answer out there, somewhere. If they theorize that Bran is the Night King, while they’ll argue their reasons for why they’re right, what they must have, at some point, is definitive proof one way or another. Whether in a Reddit forum or over some beers IRL, Game of Thrones has likely generated more fan theorists than any other show in history (including
Celebrating New York On Screens Big & Small
Everyone knows that no city on earth is the setting for as many films as New York City. As the New York Times film critic A.O. Scott wrote back in late August, according to City Hall, there are around 120 film and television projects in production on any given day in the city, and there are about 12,000 permits issued a year. “We might complain, but really we wouldn’t want it any other way,”
See Taylor Kitsch as David Koresh in First Waco Images
When it was initially announced that Friday Night Lights leading man Taylor Kitsch would play mentally disturbed Branch Davidian leader David Koresh, we weren’t so sure, but with the release of the first pictures of Kitsch in character, we totally see it. Kitsch dons Koresh’s iconic 1990s mullet and oversized frames to transform into the infamous cult leader in limited series Waco. It’s a convincing transformation from heatthrob to notorious fugitive.
Neil Gaiman Lending his Voice to The Simpsons‘ cat Snowball in “Treehouse of Horror XXVIII”
Get ready for a very spooky, yet always humorous, Simpsons Halloween! The decades-long tradition continues as The Simpsons will be debuting their 28th annual “Treehouse of Horrors” Halloween special coming next month.

Gal Gadot & Kumail Nanjiani to Host Saturday Night Live
Two of this year’s biggest stars, Wonder Woman’s Gal Gadot and The Big Sick‘s Kumail Nanjiani, couldn’t have been in more disparate films, but their success can be measured in critical raves (and insane box office for Wonder Woman) and the fact they’ve both asked to host Saturday Night Live. Gadot, who had arguably the biggest year of any movie star, will host Oct. 7 with musical guest Sam Smith.
Fox Reveals that New Mutants May be the Scariest Superhero Film Yet
Long gone are the days of studios being in the business of curating movie stars, and it’s getting rarer to even see standalone films. Marvel has long had a multi-phase plan of building out its superhero universe and DC has begun to launch the Justice League era of film, but not much is yet known about the direction Fox will take their properties. New Mutants may be the answer to that question.
CW Developing a new Sabrina the Teenage Witch Project
Ever since Riverdale took the traditionally wholesome Archie comics series and turned it into a racy teen melodrama, fans have been clamoring to see more from the characters. Our wish has been granted in the form of a horror version of Sabrina the Teenage Witch that’s being developed by The CW.
The series will be based on Archie spinoff comic series Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. The company still prints the classic style you’re used to,
Jordan Peele Developing TV Series About Nazi Hunters
After writing and directing the critical and commercial smash Get Out, Jordan Peele had his choice of next projects, and now it looks like one of those (he’s got a few in the works) will find the multi-talented star returning to TV, writing and directing a period thriller called The Hunt.
The show, inspired by true events, will follow Nazi hunters in the 1970s on the warpath for retribution.
Fifth Game of Thrones Prequel in Development at HBO
When you have a series as popular and beloved as Game of Thrones, it makes sense that you’d like to extend the story beyond the original series. It’s made doubly sensible for HBO considering George R. R. Martin’s multi-volume series is so richly detailed, with backstories and a sprawling history that amounts to several potential TV series worth of material. HBO was already considering four different GoT prequels once
Behold the Brutal First Trailer for The Punisher
Everyone was more or less in agreement that Jon Bernthal‘s Frank Castle made Daredevil’s season two irresistible. As the most ungoverned of Marvel’s superheroes, a mirthless, shattered veteran who gave Daredevil a jolt in the best way. Now Bernthal’s unhinged brute has his own series, and Netflix has delivered the first trailer for The Punisher for your viewing pleasure.
As to be expected, The Punisher may exist in the same universe as the other Marvel characters we know and love,
It’s Happening: Damon Lindelof Teases Image From his Watchmen HBO Series
For those of us (and there are a lot of us) who adore “Watchmen,” the groundbreaking graphic novel by Alan Moore and artist Dave Gibbons, we’ve long thought the best medium for the material would be a TV series. Zack Snyder gave the material his best shot with his 2009 feature film, but there’s just too much good stuff, and weirdness, in the source material to fit into a film. This is why word that Damon Lindelof,
Architect Who Inspired The Jetsons Passes Away
Ever wonder where Hanna-Barbera animators got their vision for the futuristic world of The Jetsons? A lot of the inspiration came from the forward thinking architectural designs of Gin Wong. Wong passed away this month at the age of 94.
Wong emigrated from China at the age of 9. He eventually worked his way up to become president of highly respected Pereira & Associates architectural firm.
The Jetsons first aired in 1962 as Wong was making his mark on Los Angeles.
Here are Your Peak 2017 Emmy Moments & Winners
This year’s Emmy awards was one of the most exciting nights on television, and, as the show proved, there’s a ton of quality TV being made by a diverse group of talented storytellers.
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.”
The shaky,
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.

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.
