Ren and Stimpy reboot coming to Comedy Central

Derek Strickland | Aug 5, 2020 1:24 PM CDT

What's old is new again: Ren and Stimpy is coming back as a new series on Comedy Central.

Ren and Stimpy reboot coming to Comedy Central

ViacomCBS today announced 90s favorite Ren and Stimpy will return as a "reimagined" show on Comedy Central. No details have been revealed on whether or not John Kricfalusi, who's been mired in controversy, would return to voice Ren Hoek, or if his Spumco animation company would be attached to the project.

The press release specifically states the new Ren and Stimpy reboot will be a part of the company's push towards adult-oriented content, presumably in a bid to compete with Turner's Adult Swim network. This new push includes revamps of Beavis and Butthead with Mike Judge at the helm, and a new Daria spin-off series called Jodie.

Anthony Garreffa | Jul 25, 2020 6:56 PM CDT

We all knew it was coming -- but now it's here: our first "official" look at the black suit Superman from Zack Snyder's Justice League.

Black Suit Superman footage from Zack Snyder's Justice League teased

The new footage of Superman in the iconic black suit was shown off during Justice Con, a virtual event where Snyder just finished chatting a few minutes ago and unveiled the footage. It has quickly set the Snyder Cut movement on fire, as I woke up to this news and instantly had tears in my eyes.

Snyder has promised much more footage of his cut of the movie in Zack Snyder's Justice League at DC FanDone in August.

New footage of Zack Snyder's Justice League will debut this weekend

Anthony Garreffa | Jul 23, 2020 10:26 PM CDT

This weekend is a big one for Snyder Cut fans, with the community-organized and run Justice Con event happening on July 25-26 where Zack Snyder himself will make an appearance.

New footage of Zack Snyder's Justice League will debut this weekend

Snyder is expected to show off some new footage to Zack Snyder's Justice League, where during an interview with Grace Randolph he said that he "may show a clip" of his movie. He quickly corrected himself, adding: "It is a small clip - oh, I mean, I may".

At this point, even a 30-second clip would blow the lid off of the internet -- at least in the very tightly contained fanbase this move(ment) has. I've been a part of it since day one, and if we see a proper 30-second clip from Zack Snyder's Justice League this weekend, I'm going to lose my shit.

Anthony Garreffa | Jul 20, 2020 8:12 PM CDT

Tenet has to be the biggest movie of 2020 that has been affected so badly because of the on-going COVID-19 pandemic, which has shut most of the world down and especially entertainment-focused businesses like cinemas.

Warner Bros. has now officially delayed Christopher Nolan's new epic Tenet, indefinitely.

US cinemas were pegging their hopes on their doors being re-opened and a big tent pole like Tenet bringing in millions of customers. Well, it's not happening. Tenet was due for release on July 17, 2020 but was delayed until July 31 and then eventually delayed until August 12 -- and now once again, indefinitely.

Boss Logic teases Man of Steel: Cerebral, playing mind games with us

Anthony Garreffa | Jul 13, 2020 4:58 AM CDT

Man of Steel was released back in 2013 and had a 'sequel' in the form of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, but there was no direct sequel to the movie. But now, we're teased with Man of Steel: Cerebral, which could feature Brainiac -- thanks for the excitement, Boss Logic.

Superman fans and myself included, hoped that Man of Steel director Zack Snyder would announce something Man of Steel 2-ish when he revealed Zack Snyder's Justice League, which will be an HBO Max exclusive in 2021 -- but nothing happened.

Now we have the team at Boss Logic teasing the world on Twitter with a simple tweet saying "Let the mind games begin #manofsteel 2" and tagging Zack Snyder himself. The sequel here in this mind game is called Man of Steel: Cerebral, a nod towards Brainiac.

Amazon's new The Boys S2 teaser is totally NSFW, and totally awesome

Anthony Garreffa | Jul 9, 2020 11:09 PM CDT

Amazon confirmed that the second season of The Boys will debut on Amazon Prime Video on September 4, 2020 just a couple of weeks ago. They teased a 'first look' clip of new hero Stormfront, but now we have the official S2 teaser. Check it out:

Amazon's new The Boys S2 teaser is totally NSFW, and totally awesome

The second season teaser shows us some absolutely gruesome scenes that we'll see in the new season of The Boys, where Homelander seems even more unhinged, if that was even possible. There's a bunch of heroes and hero propaganda throughout, which seems fitting as we ride into the 2020 elections in the United States.

Antony Starr as Homelander is just something else in The Boys, while Billy Butcher (played like a boss by Karl Urban) is now in hiding after the events of the first season of The Boys. If you haven't watched it, you owe it to yourself to check it out.

Anthony Garreffa | Jul 9, 2020 1:08 AM CDT

My heart hasn't stopped fluttering since Zack Snyder himself announced Zack Snyder's Justice League, which will be an exclusive on HBO Max in 2021.

Zack Snyder's Justice League will be scored by Junkie XL, Hans Zimmer

But now some truly exciting news has just been announced: Junkie XL will be joined by the legend himself Hans Zimmer in scoring the true vision of Justice League. The news came from some back and forth between Snyder and some fans on Vero, where he was asked "We getting the Junkie XL score for JL?"

Snyder responded, saying: "Fuck yes" and then answered another question that asked in the form of "Han's Zimmer's two piano notes?" and Snyder throws out "Of course is there another".
