‘American Gods’ loses Bryan Fuller over budget disputes. This fucking sucks, dudes
Hey, Starz. What the fuck. If you want a premium fucking cable show, you need to invest a premium cable budget. But nah, you’re not willing, and you lose the brilliant as fuck Bryan Fuller and Michael Green. The brilliant creatives who gave the world the first season of American Gods. Man, I don’t know how to react any other way than with disappointment about this shit.
‘Chappelle’s Show’ co-creator Neal Brennan is developing a late-night show, not a moment too soon
Lost in the brilliance of Dave Chappelle and Chappelle’s Show is the fact that the classic was co-created by Neal Brennan. Dude fucking rules, and now he’s bringing a late-night show into the world.
That ‘Lord of the Rings’ TV series for Amazon is going to be a prequel. ‘Cause why not the teats must be milked
Hey! How do the powers that be at Amazon compensate for pretty much all of Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit having been beaten into paste, snorted, puked up, and snorted again? ‘Cause, you know, they’ve got a TV series coming? Prequel, baby! Ah yes, that insipid fucking narrative technique.
‘John Wick’ creator adapting ‘Hitman’ games into Hulu TV series. Perfect combo is perfect
The motherfuckin’ creator of John Wick is adapting the Hitman franchise for Hulu. As far as pairings between talent and content go, this is pretty fucking perfect.
Amazon in talks for a ‘Lord of the Rings’ TV series, in case the franchise wasn’t already paste
I thought Peter Jackson and his nauseating ocular puke jobs masquerading as Hobbit movies had already stretched Tolkien as far as he could go. But, I was wrong! Amazon is taking another stab at extracting every ounce of wonder from the franchise.
‘Twilight Zone’ being rebooted by Jordan Peele! Sick! For CBS All Access. Fuck!
Jordan Peele is rebooting Twilight Zone, and the news should have me rubbing my torqued-donger on all sorts of surfaces. But, there’s a deflating wrinkle. The show is coming to fucking CBS All Access.
‘American Vandal’ getting second season, in an balls-affirming vote for insight and humor
The first season of American Vandal gives you the old Mary Poppins treatment. Loops you in with a humorous satire of our pop culture’s obsession with true crime banality. Then gives you a fucking enjoyable one-two sucker punch of pathos, and an interesting commentary on high school and documentaries. When all is said and done, you’re left with a surprising amount to chew on, and a vague yearning for more of the series. Well, guess what. More is officially coming.
‘Star Trek: Discovery’ is getting a second season. It continues to, like, live long, and yadda blah
Star Trek: Discovery is getting a second season, friends! I honestly don’t know how people feel about the show, and I’m not watching it myself. But! I hope this excites a lot of people. Genuinely.
Alison Brie shares ‘GLOW’ season 2 set photo. It is a welcome neon light in these dark times
GLOW may be my damn favorite piece of 2017 pop culture. It had everything, my friends. Took place in the 1980s, centered on wrestling, starred Alison Brie, and was packed with insight and pathos. Now the gang seems to be back together, on that filming the second season grind.
‘Stranger Things’ Season 2 Final Trailer: These are not nightmares
Stranger Things has gotten a final trailer for its second season. I’m, I’m not watching it. I’m already in, bought in, totally in, in in.
