SpaceX employees have a lot to celebrate lately, what with their increasing launch schedule, improved ability to recover their rockets, and their now demonstrated capacity to reuse those recovered rockets. But as noted by Fortune, during a recent Skype call, one SpaceX employee threw a bit of shade at the company’s aerospace competitors, including virtually […]

It’s a cliché to say that someone is the busiest man in Hollywood, but Greg Berlanti really is. As noted by The Hollywood Reporter, Berlanti is on the verge of breaking the record for the most shows in production. The previous record was 10 shows held by Jerry Bruckheimer, but if things go as planned, […]

Timeless is finding that, as can happen in time travel shows, they are getting a do over. Only a few days ago, NBC announced that, after one season, it was pulling the plug on this time travel/adventure show. But as reported by Deadline, an uproar among fans apparently caused them to change their mind about […]

X-Files will be coming back for another season in the 2017-18 timeframe, and it can’t happen too soon for rabid X-Files fans. The TV medium seems a much better fit for the characters and the stories than the big screen approach the producers tried with minimal success following the end of the original run of […]

When Wonder Woman premieres on June 2, will it be the key to saving the Warner Bros./DCEU franchise, or will it be the final nail in the coffin that forces the studio to scrap the whole idea? Yes, the trailers have been awesome for Wonder Woman, but so were the trailers for Batman v Superman […]

Guy Ritchie’s King Arthur has just achieved the debatable distinction of being this summer’s first major flop. This Warner Bros. release had a production budget of over $175 million but pulled in only $14.7 million in its opening weekend in wide release. This result means that – when adding in the massive marketing budget – […]

A Donald Trump impeachment seems significantly more likely the day after he had FBI Director Comey fired. In fact, cries to “impeach Trump now” will almost certainly increase as this current situation starts to resemble the Nixon Watergate scandal and the constitutional crisis that ensued. But will Republicans oppose a Trump impeachment, regardless of what […]

Raul Labrador is clearly a man of unusual conviction. While many House and Senate Republicans were attempting to assuage the fears of their constituents about shutting down Obamacare, Labrador – a congressman from Idaho – took an entirely different tack. As reported by CNN, Congressman Labrador contended to a disbelieving audience that “Nobody dies because […]

It was recently revealed that Star Wars: The Force Awakens actually had a slightly different ending because of the intervention of Rian Johnson.

This season’s Arrow is soon drawing to a close with the Season 5 finale, so it’s time to take stock of exactly where Arrow is at the end of its five-year run and where it might be going. In particular, which characters now on Arrow will be coming back next year in Season 6? Obviously, […]

A black hole is perhaps the most fascinating object in existence. Astronomers suspect that black holes are closely tied to the structure and formation of galaxies. In fact, it’s thought that an enormous black hole exists at the center of our own Milky Way galaxy, influencing its size and growth. It should be noted that […]

https://rumble.com/embed/vl0q9/ Learning that Emmanuel Macron won the election in France is disappointing for those on the European far right.

But with the resounding defeat Macron delivered to Le Pen, […]

The Stephen Colbert Trump YouTube video has become one of the most-watched on the Internet, with millions wanting to find out just what shocking thing Colbert said about Donald Trump that got him into so much hot water. As reported by CNN, while the rather colorful – some Republicans have suggested obscene – joke by […]

As noted by Screen Rant, Ego, the living planet, is one of the more outrageous and “out there” characters in the Marvel comics universe. This is one of the reasons it was so surprising that he was chosen to appear in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. Even more surprising was the fact that Kurt […]

This season on Supergirl we’ve seen a rather surprising friendship develop between Kara/Supergirl and Lena Luthor – the adopted sister of super villain and Superman enemy Lex Luthor.

Arrow “Olicity” speculation is running rampant following the end of the last episode of Arrow in which Oliver and Felicity find themselves facing an explosion that seemingly takes out their underground lair.

Sylvester Stallone – to the surprise of some – actually has a small role in the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2 Marvel film. While it might seem like an odd casting choice at first, Stallone is no stranger to sci-fi films – having already played the role of Judge Dredd. The team was […]

While the new Star Trek: Discovery series being produced has had the occasional delay prior to production, filming is now well underway for what many are hoping will be a successful revival of the much beloved TV franchise.

Just who is Savitar on The Flash? Unlike previous seasons of The Flash, it looks as though the revelation of just who season 4’s big bad is might just wait until the finale. However, as noted by WhatCulture, this, of course, hasn’t stopped fans from speculating about the identity of Savitar and whether he could […]

Kim Jong Un – North Korea’s current dictator – is threatening to destroy the USS Michigan if it gets any nearer to North Korea.

On Friday, Vivek Murthy – the United States Surgeon General – announced that he was being replaced only two years after being confirmed for his position during the Obama administration. While many on the right are certainly glad when any Obama appointed official is removed and replaced, the dismissal of Vivek Murthy as Surgeon General […]

Is the Trump-Putin bromance coming to a screeching end? Certainly, Donald Trump’s recent embrace of China – not to mention China’s leader – at his Florida Mar-a-Lago resort appeared to change Trump’s view of China. As reported by The Hill, Trump has seemed to distance himself from Russia in many different areas, suggesting that Trump […]

The Justice League movies will not be shot simultaneously after all. Previously, Warner Bros. had suggested that the two Justice League movies would be two halves of the same story, so they would shoot them at the same time. In the wake of all the changes taking place in the Warner Bros./DC cinematic universe, they’ve […]

Major Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. spoilers are ahead if you haven’t seen the last two episodes. Some fairly significant characters have already died inside the Matrix-like Framework created by Radcliffe and his android/LMD Aida on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. But is anybody else going to bite it before – or during – the season finale? Already Dead […]

The Arrow season 5 finale is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated episodes of the entire series. The trailers make it clear that the series is going to go full circle and return to Lian Yu for the season finale. But the most exciting part of the trailer that’s come out is […]

In previous Supergirl Season 2 episodes, we’ve seen Kara and her team at the DEO dealing with low level, invading Kryptonian’s before. But as reported by Screen Rant, General Zod himself will apparently finally be making an appearance near the end of this season. Zod’s “Kneel before Zod” moment is probably why Superman will also […]

Throughout the entire season of The Flash, the Flash crew has been struggling to find a way to save Iris from her apparently predestined death at the hands of Savitar.

According to The Associated Press, Josh Brolin was recently picked for the role of Cable in the upcoming Deadpool 2 movie.

The Star Wars movies have provided Disney with one of the largest franchises in the world through its purchase of Lucasfilm. Moviegoers are eagerly anticipating the upcoming movies in the series, including The Last Jedi and the as yet unnamed Episode 9 – not to mention the currently unnamed Han Solo prequel movie. However, after […]

When the Steve Bannon – Jared Kushner war broke out in the White House, few people would have anticipated that it would be Bannon getting shown the door, rather than Kushner. On the other hand, since Kushner is actually Trump’s son-in-law, maybe it shouldn’t have been that surprising to Bannon just who Trump would end […]

Is Steven Moffat, in his final season of Doctor Who, going to give us a huge surprise with the appearance of a Doctor Who we haven’t seen in decades? In recent years, the crossovers between Doctor Whos have primarily involved the most recent versions of the Doctor since the show was revived under Russell T. […]

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. ended on a fairly shocking note last episode, with Fitz essentially murdering someone – albeit a computerized and almost artificial Agnes – inside the Framework. This was nearly as shocking to viewers as it was to Simmons. But the question now is whether this is going to be a short-term plot device […]

Unfortunately, the CW’s superhero time traveling show Legends of Tomorrow is off the air till next season.

The Trump approval rating – which had been hovering in Nixon-like Watergate territory – did in the latest polls have a bit of an uptick from 34 percent to 41 percent, according to Gallup.

The last day to file taxes in the United States is rapidly approaching and – as happens every year – millions of Americans have once again waited to the last possible second to do their income taxes. Just why do they do this? Is it laziness, a distaste for complex forms, a reluctance to hand […]

The possible outcome of a new US – Korea war has gone from being an outrageous speculation to something being seriously considered in recent weeks.

When Luke Skywalker says “the Jedi must end” at the end of the new Star Wars: The Last Jedi trailer, just what the heck is he talking about? As noted by Collider, as much as any of the amazing visuals seen in the new Star Wars trailer released at Star Wars Celebration, these closing words […]

The decision made last year by Marvel Comics to have Captain America turn out to have been a Hydra agent throughout his entire career is controversial, to say the least. But given the frequency with which such changes get reversed – remember that Superman came back from the dead – is it possible that Captain […]

According to the Alternative Press, Carrie Fisher will, in fact, appear in Star Wars Episode 9 despite her recent death.

As noted by Hollywood Life, several episodes ago on Supergirl, Kara managed to get herself fired from CatCo when Snapper Carr didn’t like her blogging a story he had killed.

The Senate nuclear option was triggered by Republican Senators Thursday morning, resulting in a historic change in how that body functions when it comes to Supreme Court nominations.
