Our sources on this are Hollywood players, but I can’t say any more than that. Hopefully, as the guy who told you about the cancellation of the Inhumans movie, the death of Quicksilver […]

It’s been a long and winding road, but the final season of Star Wars: The Clone Wars will finally be hyperdriving its way onto streaming scenes beginning Friday, February 21, on Disney+. We use the phrase “long and winding” because “The Mouse” first announed the 12-episode season during San Diego Comic-Con 2018. Last year saw […]

So it would appear that Lizzie McGuire creator Terri Minsky and Disney+ had a difference of opinion on the direction of the recently-announced revival – and you know what that means? “The Mouse” always win, with word that Minsky is stepping down as showrunner on the project.

Once upon a time… working for television was labelled a “demotion,” a professional death sentence for actors whose careers were considered on a no-way-back downward spiral.

The Mandalorian is serving as the cornerstone of the original programming available at launch on Disney+. Its enticing mix of spaghetti westerns, epic samurai, and space wizard movies has an undeniable appeal.
