As we all know by now, the Coronavirus pandemic has had a massive impact on the entertainment industry. Many film and television productions were forced to shut down in an effort to maintain social distancing. Likewise, movie theaters and other such public places of business had to enforce social distancing guidelines and were forced to similarly shut down. This has had a dire effect on the industry as a whole, with many productions and releases being pushed back into 2021 if not released digitally. Obviously Disney was especially effected by this, considering the vast amount of films they were hoping…

The Child’s Play franchise has shown its ability to adapt and change with the times ever since the first film was released in 1988. We’ve gotten the original trilogy in which all three films closely followed the same formula. Bride of Chucky spiced things up in 1998 for the franchise’s tenth anniversary when they introduced secondary antagonist Tiffany Valentine, alongside a dose of self-referential humor inspired by the success of Scream. Seed of Chucky nearly took that humor too far, and the course was corrected with Curse of Chucky and Cult of Chucky years later via two direct-to-video continuations. Now…

One could compare the ocean to outer space, considering the vast amounts of both areas that remain to be explored. And although we haven’t yet discovered life in the outer regions of space, humanity has frequently discovered new types of life under the ocean.

This is one of those cases – as scientists have discovered a new type of sponge that eerily resembles the alien from the beloved movie, E.T. The underwater sea creatures are actually a type of sponge, one which was initially discovered in 2016. They were labeled…

It’s been nothing short of fascinating to see The Lost Boys grow in popularity over the years. At one point, the movie was a stand-alone film for decades. Then in 2008, after the release of the rather divisive Lost Boys: The Tribe, the franchise continued to expand. We received a second sequel titled Lost Boys: The Thirst and two separate comic book series. Since then, we’ve had multiple different plans for a Lost Boys TV series, and now it appears there are even plans for a Lost Boys musical which would act as a prequel to the original 1987 film.…
