In a shocking and unexpected event, multiple 2K-related social media accounts were hacked into.

The event saw the hacked pages posting a variety of offensive materials ranging from racial slurs and many other different insults. The posts were completely uncalled for an unexpected, shocking millions of followers as a result. The incident was followed by an official announcement from the 2K Twitter and the…

While Disney is mostly known for its lighthearted fare that’s been cherished by children and families for generations, there is the occasional project that tends to get darker than most would expect. One such example is the 1990’s animated series Gargoyles which pushed limits in a variety of ways. For example, the eighth episode of its first season titled “Deadly Force” was banned from television after receiving complaints from parents. The episode features a character named Broadway who picks up a handgun and accidentally shoots another character named Elisa with it. Of course, that’s just one example of censorship regarding…

We’ve had a massive year for movies in 2019 which have all given opportunities for a range of actors to win Best Actor at the Oscars. This is thanks to actors giving major performances with films like Joaquin Phoenix in “Joker,” Leonardo DiCaprio in “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” Robert De Niro in “The Irishman,” among a variety of other examples. But there’s a truly remarkable attempt at getting John Travolta – who made a bizarre appearance this year in a movie called “The Fanatic” – his own shot at winning an Oscar. It appears that there is an…

One of the most exciting aspects of Disney’s new streaming service Disney Plus is that, for Marvel fans, it will allow an entirely new outlet for Marvel content. The streaming application will be the home for a variety of new Marvel shows, perhaps most interestingly an upcoming series titled What If…? which sees stories told throughout Marvel’s multiverse. The series is set to depict a plethora of Marvel Cinematic Universe characters – including the surprising inclusion of Tony Stark aka Iron Man played once more by Robert Downey Jr. It was surprising to hear that Robert Downey Jr. would be…

It’s not uncommon for movie fans to debate whether or not a film could be considered a holiday movie. For example, Die Hard is most commonly considered a Christmas movie by some fans – and Gremlins is another, albeit more obvious, argument from moviegoers of a Christmas movie. Now it seems like fans have taken on similar debates regarding Marvel’s Iron Man 3 – and it turns out Disney Plus might have just taken a side. In the film Iron Man 3, there are several Christmas references which fans have taken as indications for why the film is in fact…

The television series South Park has been a successful satire of politics and society among other things for decades. Now it looks like the series has taken on the task of including transgender athletes in sport. The series utilized the concept in the seventh episode of its twenty-third season. The episode was titled “Board Girls” and premiered on Wednesday. In order to create their transgender character, which they named Heather Swanson, they used real life Macho Man Randy Savage as inspiration. And, if it wasn’t obvious, the character was designed to make light of transgender athletes who attempt competing against…

The show takes advantage of most viewers’ inherent fear of creepy dolls to introduce the Reborn Doll, which you can see in the new trailer down below. It’s an eerily realistic interpretation that seems to have put most other creepy baby dolls to shame. The new trailer for Servant depicts the creation of the Reborn Doll, which a couple receives after losing the life of their own child named Jericho. The doll is intended…

One of the most massive horror franchises in recent years began with The Conjuring. The successful horror film directed by James Wan has so far spawned one direct sequel and a plethora of spin-offs, including an entire trilogy of Annabelle movies. But that’s no where near the end for the horror film series, and The Conjuring 3 will soon be on the way. While fans were lucky enough to have seen Ed and Lorraine Warren appear in this year’s Annabelle Comes Home, it’s The Conjuring 3 that everyone has been asking for. And, finally, star Patrick Wilson who plays Ed…

One of the most interesting perks that being a Disney Plus subscriber has is that you’ll receive access to the near entirety of The Simpsons. While some fans are excited to watch some of their favorite episodes of the hit series, others are disappointed, as it turns out the show hasn’t been presented in the best way possible. It turns out that The Simpsons episodes from before 2009 have been cropped. The Simpsons was originally produced in a 4:3 aspect ratio which has since been altered and cropped to fit a 16:9 aspect ratio. While it may not seem like…
