Obviously adding Lobo was a win, too. <p><strong>The Background</strong>: Nick Venable is an Assistant Managing Editor, and the TV Editor. His humble origin story with CinemaBlend began all the way back in the pre-streaming era, circa 2009, as a freelancing DVD reviewer and TV recapper. After rising up through the ranks covering Movies, Nick leapfrogged over to the small screen to cover more and more television news and interviews, eventually taking over the section for the current era. Born in Louisiana and currently living in Texas — Who Dat Nation over America’s Team all day, all night — Nick spent several years in the hospitality industry, and also worked as a 911 operator. And if you ever happened to hear his music or read his comics/short stories, you have his sympathy. His love for his wife and daughters is almost equaled by his love of gasp-for-breath laughter and gasp-for-breath horror. A lifetime spent in the vicinity of a television screen led to his current dream job, as well as his knowledge of too many TV themes and ad jingles.</p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>What He's Into</strong>: Nick is one of those people who won’t necessarily insert a Monty Python reference into every conversation, but is still mentally equipped to do so. Beyond such appreciation for surreal UK comedy, Nick also indulges in as much horror splendor as possible, from Stephen King novels to James Tynion IV comics to Freddy Krueger one-liners to all things Mike Flanagan. Throw in a dash of NFL, some 311 and Weird Al, fried crawfish poboys, bourbon, ‘90s-era pro wrestling, crossword puzzles and mystery-driven video games, and baby, you got a stew going. (Nick will insert an Arrested Development reference into every conversation, if possible.)</p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>What He's Excited About</strong>: Anything Jeff Lemire, Tom King and W. Maxwell Prince think of, ever. More of Kelly Reilly’s deliriously fierce performances on Yellowstone. HBO’s The Last of Us. Clone High’s return. Colin Farrell’s Penguin being in every movie/TV show/breakfast cereal.</p>

Two weeks ago, Warner Bros. decided to push Christopher Nolan’s Tenet back from July 17th to July 31st. What exactly they expected to change significantly with regards to the coronavirus remains unclear, but Variety reports that the studio has pushed Tenet back by another two weeks. The film is now slated to open on Wednesday, August 12th. Warner Bros. also plans to leave the film in theaters for a longer timeframe since they believe that attendance will be spaced out. “Warner Bros. is committed to bringing ‘Tenet’ to audiences in theaters, on the big screen, when exhibitors are ready …
Amy Schumer is known for many things. Being filtered is not one of them. But the actress, writer, and comedian is giving audiences the most unfiltered look into her life yet with Expecting Amy. The upcoming three-part HBO Max documentary series goes behind-the-scenes of Schumer's difficult pregnancy and the creative process behind her subsequent comedy special, pulling back the curtain on her private life and Hollywood career. While the promise of a behind-the-scenes look at Schumer's creative process is intriguing, I'm mostly invested in this one because of how little honest representation …
Just as we'll remember 2013 as the year Margot Robbie made her break-out as an actor in The Wolf of Wall Street, I have a good feeling we'll look back on 2020 as the year Robbie broke big as a producer thanks to Birds of Prey. Robbie has a decade and some change under her belt as an actor and has already re-shaped the narrative around how we perceive her as a star, moving from potential pigeonholing as just a pretty face to powerful creative voice behind the camera (via her LuckyChap Entertainment banner) as well …
Whenever I start in on a Parks and Recreation re-watch, I'm never sure if I want to just skip over the first season or not. The Office suffers from a similar problem, but in a different way where the key to the show was just scaling back Michael Scott (Steve Carell) and then finding the supporting cast along the way. Parks and Recreation on the other hand, needed to find the best versions of the main cast, and the first season is a show that doesn't really work despite the comic talent available. Watching those first six …

Halloween 2018 showed more gore and brutality from Michael Myers, which was a stark difference from the original, but was necessary.
A whole YouTube sub-genre has popped up in the past few years pointing out goofs in filmmaking. The whole idea is so that the YouTuber can show that he or she is smarter than the filmmakers and we can all have a good laugh at the expense of the expensive movie that people poured years of their lives into making. Keep in mind that these videos aren’t critiques of themes or larger structural issues, but rather noticing something like “Why doesn’t this character do what I would have done in this scene?” or “That extra isn’t …
