Sure, but that’s just going to continue until everything is Disney. I mean, what’s the last significant merger that actually got blocked...Time Warner/Comcast almost a decade ago?

This is actually the opposite of the predictions though. The (very plausible) assumption was that Zaslav was tasked with bringing WB’s debt under control to make them more attractive for being consumed into a larger entity, probably Comcast. Merging Paramount into the blob is very much an absorption the other…

Quantumania was a lot of fun but shoots itself in the foot with the last 5 minutes. A bad ending can make you forget that you were having fun earlier.

I disagree that Portman did her best. She absolutely sleepwalks through that movie. She tried her best with Love & Thunder, which is a badly flawed movie, but at least gave her something to work with and she gave the impression that she actually wanted to be there.

Because contrary to the article’s thesis, they recently reprinted the Bodies TPB, and it’s available for purchase right now on Amazon. DC published it as a Vertigo book, released a TPB under the Vertigo imprint, and reprinted it this month as Black Label.

It’s a creator-owned comic DC published through the Vertigo line. Black Label wasn’t introduced until 2018.

If you’re not sold by the midpoint, nothing that comes later is going to do it. Not everything is for everybody.

The series ran for just eight issues in 2014, before being collected in trade paperback the year after—and has remained out of print ever since, even digitally.

I knew Gelman from Another Period, but Go On really cemented him as one to watch for.

Not sure if there’s an app for whatever platform you’re using, but you can definitely watch it on their website.

Dream Door was better than Butcher’s Block, but No-End House was the clear high point.

I believe he’s referring to the soap opera elements of the show, rather than something anyone would do by design.

Personally, I quite enjoyed Becky. It’s not outstanding, but it’s perfectly watchable. Wrath of Becky is dreadful...it was written in 3 weeks by a pair of writers who had not even seen the first one when they were hired, and they were given no direction from the studio beyond “write a sequel to Becky.” They shot the…

SNL is likely holding off announcing a specific start date until after the contract is ratified next week. If I had to guess, October 14th is the most likely return date. I believe SNL is categorized as a variety show, and operates under the “Network TV Code”, and is not impacted by the SAG-AFTRA strike.

No. A lot of TV outside of the prime-time scripted arena are covered by a separate contract, the “Network TV Code.” Soaps, variety shows, talk shows, game shows, reality/competition shows, award shows and the like are not affected by the SAG-AFTRA strike. SAG members who do interviews on talk shows would still be…

The second season of American Auto was a significant improvement, if you gave up early I’d suggest giving it a look.

I’ll be completely honest and say that Superstore was fantastic.
