Netflix continues it’s shopping spree for weird movies. Today they bought **Bubbles**, which is a movie about Michael Jackson. But wait, it gets better:
Bubbles, the movie about Michael Jackson’s Chimpanzee friend, is headed to Netflix.
They’re making a Snowpiercer TV series starring Daveed Diggs & directed by Scott Derrickson.
I’m always wary of things I love being adapted these days, but this is good news.
Star Wars: The Force-Feeding Continues
I’ve been told that New Star Wars will finally wake up on December 18th. To be honest I actually had to ask Awesome Friday’s Matt when it comes out because I have Star Wars blindness. I’ve been muting commercials, and dead-eye scrolling through twitter feeds for months now.

But… Am I the only one? Continue reading “Star Wars: The Force-Feeding Continues”

Zootopia Poster is full of Animal Puns
The direct of Zootopia, Byron Howard, has released the first poster for the movie. It seems to take place in a world with anthropomorphic animals. In a Disney movie. Weird, right? Is also seems like the primary industry in that world is pun manufacturing. Also weird for a Disney movie. There’s gotta be more to it, right? Some vast conspiracy.
We’ll find out just how deep this mystery runs next spring.

My own personal experiment to see if I could elevate the discussion surrounding the social experiment that is the very popular long-running international series. Now that the American version of the show is running I was contacted and asked to be a guest on a new YouTube show called Reality Rehab by Get Real LOL where I got to talk with BB17’s Jason Roy.
