Parker really needs to give this one some thought. <p><strong>The Background</strong>: Erik Swann is a Senior Content Producer at CinemaBlend. He began working with the publication in 2020 when he was hired as Weekend Editor. Today, he continues to write, edit and handle social media responsibilities over the weekend. On weekdays, he also writes TV and movie-related news and helps out with editing and social media as needed. He graduated from the University of Maryland, where he received a degree in Broadcast Journalism. After shifting into multi-platform journalism, he started working as a freelance writer and editor before joining CB. During his time with the site, he's been able to cover some excellent TV shows and films and interview some wonderful stars.</p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>What He's Into</strong>: Erik is a superhero fan, and his love for comic books began after he first watched Batman: The Animated Series as a child. He also enjoys comedies, action/adventure flicks, dramas and science fiction. He has a love for sports as well, particularly professional basketball. Though he's a Maryland/Washington D.C. native, he roots for the Boston Celtics. Some of his all-time favorite TV shows are BTAS, Breaking Bad, Sanford and Son, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Better Call Saul and Atlanta. And when it comes to movies, Beverly Hills Cop, A Raisin in the Sun, Toy Story, Iron Man, Star Wars, and Wall Street are among his favorites. He also enjoys a good pizza (preferably with pepperoni and mushrooms) while he's watching entertaining films and TV series.</p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>What He's Excited About Right Now</strong>: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, Reservation Dogs Season 3, Ahsoka, Loki Season 2, Invincible Season 2, Next Goal Wins and Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget.</p>

Turns out Peter Parker’s saddest MCU problem can be a pretty funny bit. <p><strong>The Background:</strong> Ryan graduated from Missouri State University with a BA in English/Creative Writing.&nbsp;</p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>What He's Into:</strong> He loves all things horror. An avid fan of Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon. Lifelong comic book fan.</p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>What He's Excited About Right Now:</strong> Ryan's really excited for House of the Dragon and Hulu's Hellraiser reboot!</p>

Fans are making all kinds of snap judgments, but what about James Gunn's co-chair? <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>

Did they crack the code? https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/QyFDQjurXJr5xt5g6DznEN.png

She's as wrecked over Peter and MJ as the rest of us.

He has a good reason.

This is a shirt of Twihard, Bella.

This is a movie I need to see.

Nowadays, movies can just disappear...

It's as gruesome as you'd imagine.

Peter Weller's views on RoboCop have changed over the years.

The Toxic Avenger remake looks to be everything fans will want, and then some.

Nobody got how precious Serkis' Gollum skills were.

The original Robocop has very blunt thoughts about returning to the franchise.

This scene will never be the same.

Draco Malfoy as The Boy Who Never Grew Up?

To be fair, there is no bad Lord of the Rings movie.

You can't miss this movie.

Peter Jackson's helping keep The Lord of the Rings saga afloat, but there's a long awaited sequel he's still working on...and it needs to happen now.

After the announcement of a Lord of the Rings Gollum movie, Peter Jackson and Andy Serkis talk about the reason for this spinoff.
