We have a brand new, full-length trailer for The Punisher season 2 on our hands. Unfortunately, it appears as though the Netflix era of Marvel is coming to an end, as the streaming service has canceled Iron Fist, Luke Cage and, perhaps most surprisingly, Daredevil, leaving just Jessica Jones and The Punisher standing. It’s largely expected that both remaining shows will be canceled swiftly after their new season’s drop. But fear not, as Jon Bernthal’s Frank Castle is coming back for what looks to be a very bloody and action-packed goodbye, if indeed this is goodbye....
We want to bring you to the year 3000, and talk about some of the greatest innovations known to man… okay, well, we made that last part up, because we’re actually going to talk about Futurama today. One of the inconvenient realities of science fiction is that innovations are conceptualized through the lens of today, meaning that when a writer or a filmmaker dreams of the distant future, they tend to lean into what they know about the technology of their time, and extrapolate from there....

Last month, when 1091 Pictures released their trailer for Electric Jesus, the title alone made me push play. It transports you back to the summer of 1986, and it’s does it well, warts and all.

Their band 316 has taken the local church youths by storm, and when Stryper’s tour doesn’t come to your small town, these guys can truly give you the next best thing....

Ghostbusters fans had almost given up hope on ever seeing the franchise continuing.

Now, actor Ernie Hudson is set to return in the fourth installment in the franchise, and has recently been giving an update on the scripting of the movie....
