In Matt Hagen's drooping face, we trust. <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>

That’s a good reason.

They're not wrong.

These flicks summon that October chill.

Mark Hamill hyped up a reunion Harrison Ford recently had that had nothing to do with Star Wars.

A number of studios are separating themselves from Oscar winner Will Smith, but the latest cancellation apparently has nothing to do with the Academy Awards slap incident.

After months of courtship but two very busy schedules, Aaron Rodgers and Shailene Woodley are calling it quits.

Tomorrow marks the release of The Kid Who Would Be King, the first film from writer-director Joe Cornish since 2011’s cult hit Attack the Block. It’s been a long wait, but I’m happy to report that Cornish has delivered the first great film of 2019. His reimagining of the legend of King Arthur is delightful, inspiring, and a joy for kids and adults alike. However, it’s also a far cry from Attack the Block with the main similarity being a plot that focuses on underdog kids forced to thwart a supernatural force to save their …
