First, Discovery bought WB, which got them HBO and DC in the process. And then one of the first things they did was cancel a show that I enjoyed so much: Raised by Wolves. Which, by the way, still remains the most crazy show I have ever watched. Which also means you should watch it. (Yes, I’m always going to say that.) More cost-cutting kept happening, with more things on WB’s side being cancelled.

Years ago I wasn’t sure what to think about the video game Twisted Metal getting a TV show. I do fondly remember playing Twisted Metal 2 a lot. And I mean a lot. It was insanely fun and utterly ridiculous. The concept was fresh, and the storyline was bizarre, with combatants decking out their vehicles with guns and missiles to kill each other to be the last person standing to get a wish granted by Calypso, the man behind Twisted Metal, who apparently has powers to grant wishes — granted, a monkey’s paw situation wasn’t off the table.

In my youth it was fun speculating on upcoming films and TV with other movie nerds. But, it was merely just nerding out with others and the fun of going down rabbit holes. Fast forward to today and that idea was co-opted by people addicted to gambling.

I can’t say I’m much of a sports fan, but growing up it was hard to not know who John Madden was. He was a famous football coach, who made his way onto film and video games. Notably for me was EA’s Madden NFL, which I played quite a bit with friends as a child.

Monarch: Legacy of Monsters is a very fun show, especially with both Kurt Russell and his son Wyatt Russell playing the same character at different points in his life. As the show went on, the flashbacks became less and less, and having a Russell means you gotta keep him somehow. Which leads to Wyatt getting his own spinoff to go on further adventures in the land of huge monsters.

I can’t say I ever read the books because I’m a dirty heathen, but I was a fan of both film versions of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Besides the riveting story and the intrigue of the characters, I also liked seeing laptops being a main prop since I’m a huge computer nerd and oh god why am I telling you this.

Robert Pattinson has been having a great couple of years of films; playing little freaks of different levels, from The Batman, Mickey 17, all the way to Dune: Part Three. There are more movies in between, but I think you see where I’m getting at. One of the freaks that Pattinson has portrayed recently is Chris Hansen, host of To Catch a Predator.
