I certainly agree that I don’t need to see a reboot of any franchise that was successful in the last couple decades. But there is a value to telling an extended story over several movies - and plenty of book series out there with great material! I’d love to see a new film franchise emerge but again so many good…

I certainly believe that was true for 3 body problem but would have liked to see a higher budget take for Expanse. They could easily carve books into more than one movie if needed, that's what Dune did...

AApologies I should have said the last movie reboots were dead. There certainly have been many paramount + shows since then!

Let me come firmly down on the side of “fuck franchises.” I’m as guilty as anyone of paying to see the countless adaptations and sequels and requels and whatever the fuck, but I also recognize that it’s culturally toxic to just keep rehashing the same shit over and over.

I’m assuming this won’t result in anything sort of actual new ideas, so if we’re just looking for untapped reboot potential... I’m all all for a Just One of the Guys/Ladybugs gender-swapping-disguise renaissance. I can only imagine what that would look like in 2026. Imagine all the hijinks that will ensue when they…

And I believe Netflix is only planning on showing the already done second season of Prodigy.  I do not believe there are plans for more.  Which is a shame because that show really did manage to be a kids Star Trek show that still managed to get and respect Star Trek.  I was skeptical based on the character design and…

Unless another streamer like Netflix saves it, Season 5 of Lower Decks has been announced to be it’s last.

Personally, I prefer TV series with decent budgets for adaptations of novel series.  I don’t think The Expanse would have held up well with each book cut down to a 2-3 hour movie.

much as i loathe STD (aka the Michael Burnham Experience), it can hardly be said that Star Trek is dead. Strange New Worlds is going strong, there’s a new Starfleet Academy teen drama coming. Lower Decks is an animated hit and Prodigy seems to have survived. There’s that extremely random Michelle Yeoh TV movie coming…

I don’t have much data to back this up, but with Fallout, Mario bros movie, Zelda and Borderlands movie, etc. series or movies based on videogames seem like the next area to be mined for ideas. Not a new trend obviously, and these are all fairly different in their respective genres. but it’s a trend that  seems to be…

“The question is though, is or were those thoughts he had just in general, or where they the result of what happened to him as a kid.”

I agree that this is a good question to ask here. Unfortunately there isn’t really any way to know the answer to this question. But studies have shown that people who had suffered…

This is such a lame take. I’d assumed that by now people understand that some people that become victims, after receiving no help with their trauma, turn into abusers themselves. It absolutely does not make the abuse they inflict on others acceptable, but we can understand that breaking the cycle incredibly tough,…

Yeah, I’d say there is. A good chunk of Gillis’ following and among the types of podcasts in the genre he runs in are made up of terminally online white males ages 15 to 35. Any appearance or mention anywhere results in the entire flock moving towards it. It’s similar to a K-Pop hive but if it were made up of people…

The cut-for-time sketch might have been the funniest part of the show. A shame it didn’t air:

Yes. Every generation or so ‘discovers’ or ‘invents’ something that people have done for years, but it’s got a different name. 

I actually ended up reading an article by a doctor who specializes in treating hypothermia - apparently people go into a hibernation mode and can be revived with the right equipment, but the arm breaking thing was completely impossible. So I was partially right!

No politician, from any party, has any place appearing on SNL.

I suppose it depends on where you are in the Corpsicle. Think of a McDonalds apple pie. Frozen on the outside, thermonuclear in the middle. 

But what if you have ancient unfrozen magic microorganisms in your blood, HMM? :p

If I understood the teacher correctly, I think it’s related to the research they were doing there and a clue to the direction this story is going. Seems like they were looking for the fountain of youth in the ice and landed on some nasty side effects.
