Marvel Confirms ‘Thunderbolts’ Movie Focusing on Anti-Hero Super Team
Marvel Studios‘ new live-action movie, Thunderbolts, is officially in development, promising the return of familiar faces in the MCU as well as a dive into the next generation of heroes and villains.

Seth MacFarlane’s ‘Ted’ to Return as a TV Series on Peacock
The foul-mouthed teddy bear Ted is set to return as a TV series on Peacock. The show is expected to be a prequel to the 2012 film. According to Deadline, Seth MacFarlane is set to produce the show alongside Erica Huggins via the former’s Fuzzy Door production banner. MacFarlane is currently under negotiation to make a return to voice Ted. However, it is unlikely that Wahlberg and Kunis will return for the series. The film did get a sequel in 2015, however, it did not bring in the same financial numbers as the first one. This will mark MacFarlane’s second title with Peacock, with his first being The End is Nye featuring Bill Nye. The original 2012 film was directed by MacFarlane, starred by Mark Wahlberg and Mila Kunis and featured MacFarlane himself as Ted, providing the vo...

Players Uses League of Legends to Satirize Sports Docs, and It’s Hilarious: Review
The Pitch: What Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story did for music biopics, Netflix’s American Vandal did for the true-crime docuseries. For two glorious seasons of adolescent dick and poop jokes painted with all the forensic seriousness of Making a Murderer, Tony Yacenda (who also directed episodes of Dave and real-life true crime doc Trial by Media) and Dan Perrault perfectly threaded the needle between the melodramatic trivia of teenhood and the over-the-top mechanics of true crime. After that show’s unceremonious cancellation, Yacenda and Perrault are back with another pointed critique of the documentary format and the juvenile antics of manchildren. This time, the question is: What would The Last Dance look like if it were actually about mouthbreathing esp...
