The director discusses working within the studio system, Matt Damon, and his next project John Gulager is an anomaly in Hollywood. He’s not a young hipster director who looks like he’s even trying to stay 20 forever (in fact he’s 48). He seems more apt to quote Godard rather than Kevin Smith or Eli Roth. Yet, after winning the job of directing the movie Feast on the third season of Project Greenlight, he not only stuck his thumb in the eye of traditional studio filmmaking, he also made the best film that the Matt Damon/Ben Affleck show ever produced....

King of the Hill premiered on Fox in 1997 and became an instant hit for the network, airing for over a decade. From creator Mike Judge, audiences likely tuning in were expecting something similar to his previous series Beavis and Butthead. Yet King of the Hill was a remarkably different series, one focused on the Hill family and its patriarch, Hank Hill, who sells propane and propane accessories. His wife Peggy is a substitute Spanish teacher, who believes she is more talented than she actually is....
The Good An uplifting tale for the ages. The Bad Somewhat pondering in it’s pace, I wish this DVD would have had a commentary track.

Ghostbusters is one of those franchises that will surely thrive for generations, especially after its recent revival. Since the first film in 1984, the supernatural comedy series has had legions of loyal fans. The late director Ivan Reitman has left behind a legendary slew of films, but the original two Ghostbusters are, to many, his crowning achievement. In 2016, the series earned a revival for a new generation, and just last year the son of Ivan Reitman picked up his father’s legacy with Ghostbusters: Afterlife....
The Good Growing Pains holds up very well over time. The Bad A DVD set like this needs a featurette on the life and history of Kirk Cameron. Sadly, there isn’t one here. While Growing Pains may not have been a show I watched all the time, I watched it enough in the 1980s to be pretty darn familiar with it. Like a lot of kids, I related to the character of Mike (Kirk Cameron) who was precocious but also very smart and knew how to handle many different situations (especially those dealing with his parents)....

After the massive success of the new Halo video game, Halo: Reach, it seems that efforts to get the long-delayed Halo movie off the ground are taking place at DreamWorks, according to Vulture. DreamWorks is taking a different approach to the property by looking to adapt some of the many novelizations of the Halo franchise. It was said that this would avoid any potential legal hassles with the previous movie that was being developed by both Fox and Universal, since it would come from a “different” source....

Saturday Night Live has been on television since the 1970s, having now aired more than 900 episodes to make it one of the longest-running network programs in the U.S. Many cast members have found national stardom while appearing on the show. Typically, they might then achieve success in film and TV, both in front of and behind the camera, beyond Lorne Michaels’ award-winning comedy and variety show. One such success story is Jason Sudeikis, who viewers these days might know best as Apple TV+’s beloved character Ted Lasso....
In October, comic book fans all over the world were thrown for a loop once more when James Gunn and Peter Safran were officially named the co-chairmen and CEOs of the revamped DC Studios.

For those who haven’t seen last night’s episode of The Walking Dead, there will be SPOILERS below, so read on at your own risk. Some Guy featured a not-so-subtle reference to an iconic moment from The Walking Dead comics, which could hint that the next big character death may be coming soon. While the show does diverge from the comics quite frequently, this scene in question could only serve as a subtle little Easter Egg for fans, or it could also foreshadow the next big death....
Just a few months in 2022, the comedy world has suffered multiple tremendous losses. America’s Funniest Home Videos host and veteran comedian Bob Saget passed away in January, and just weeks later, famous funnyman Louie Anderson was also gone. In April, comedy was dealt another major blow when the incomparable Gilbert Gottfried had died.
