  • Apple TV’s ‘Monarch: Legacy of Monsters’ Brings in New Writers

    Apple TV’s ‘Monarch: Legacy of Monsters’ Brings in New Writers

    One of the first — by which I mean the first show — that I watched on Apple TV once I got it and paid attention after all the F1 on the F1 app, was Monarch: Legacy of Monsters. As someone who grew up on Godzilla and Kurt Russell, it was obvious that I had to watch. And we didn’t just get one Russell, we also got Kurt’s son, Wyatt Russell. It wasn’t their first time playing the same character at different points in the character’s life — that accolade belongs to Soldier, but it is their first time playing the same character in a TV show.

    Side note: how did they swing getting both Russells for a TV series?

  • ‘Prometheus’ and ‘Alien: Covenant’ Gets A Third Movie

    ‘Prometheus’ and ‘Alien: Covenant’ Gets A Third Movie

    In a way, Prometheus and Alien: Covenant are its own thing in the Alien movies, since it mainly centers around an android named David, rather then having the focal point being the aliens themselves. It’s almost a character study with a horrific backdrop of monstrous aliens — well, David himself is pretty monstrous too, with his amoral curiosity.

    Poison Ivy HBO TV Show in the Works

    The Batman mythos is ripe with many characters and stories that can translate into TV, and the next character in the works is the Batman villain, Poison Ivy. Do I need to explain who she is? I mean… you are here. A very nerdy and geeky blog. You’re the right audience. Right?

  • ‘The Batman Part II’ Has Another Director Step

    ‘The Batman Part II’ Has Another Director Step

    Director Matt Reeves’ The Batman quickly became my favorite live-action version of Batman. The tone had a dark detective noir feel, the city felt real, lived in, and in disrepair. And then you had Robert Pattinson as Bruce Wayne/Batman. Pattinson embodied the character perfectly. Clearly emotionally damaged from trauma, and unhinged rage that he can barely contain.

    Zendaya Cast in A24 Film by Alex Garland

    I’m usually a fan of movies herald by A24; they’re a tad bit more artsy and quirky. I’m also a fan of Alex Garland’s work, most notably being Ex Machina, which I consider one of my top 10 films.

  • Crossover for ‘Transformers’ and ‘G.I. Joe’ Cancelled

    Crossover for ‘Transformers’ and ‘G.I. Joe’ Cancelled

    I’m gonna be honest. I completely forgot that there was going to be a crossover film about Transformers and G.I. Joe. And why wouldn’t I forget? Sure, they were preparing for the crossover, with a character from the Transformers movies being approached by a G.I. Joe recruiter, but it was ultimately forgettable in an equally forgettable movie. Maybe I’m being a bit harsh, but do you remember much from Transformers: Rise of the Beasts?

    Jensen Ackles Joins TV Show ‘Rules of Prey’

    It appears that heartthrob Jensen Ackles will grace our televisions on two shows instead of one, at the same time. Clearly, absolutely no one has a problem with this. Not only will Ackles star in The Boys spinoff, Vought Rising, but he will also star in MGM+’s Rules of Prey.
