In the latest 90-second behind-the-scenes featurette for Bill & Ted Face The Music, we get a focused look at the duo's daughters. Thea and Billie are, respectively, the progeny of Wyld Stallyn rockers Bill & Ted, with names that show how their dads honored each other [...]
https://youtu.be/g_Kg6Cxwn18?t=2286 It's a blur. It's a tease. It's Black Superman. Director Zack Snyder debuted the first tease of Superman in Black Suit from his upcoming "Snyder Cut" of Justice League. The DCEU filmmaker's highly-anticipated original vision of the movie -- which underwent substantial rewrites and reshoots with writer/director Joss Whedon before it was released theatrically, [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gPGeAYo3yU Well this is excellent. In a year where we've seen the entire summer movie season collapse in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are now officially guaranteed to get one of those summer movies this summer -- albeit at the last possible date and on a less-than-desired platform. Bill & Ted Face the [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iELUFjl16-U I'm a big fan of The Rise of Skywalker. Many gripes have been thrown its way, ones that often feel petty at best and, at worst, willfully ignorant so as to obnoxiously stan with these pathetic "Rian vs J.J." tribal alliances. That said, there were missed opportunities on behalf of director J.J. Abrams, ones [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBfVR_u_lGQ Jennifer Hudson has put some Quaaaan into being the Queen of Soul. MGM released the first teaser trailer for Respect, the biopic about R&B legend Aretha Franklin.

Or less, depending on when you're reading this. The long wait is almost over for the biggest at-home event of the year: the full Original Cast stage production of Hamilton, the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award winning phenomenon from actor/writer/composer Lin-Manuel Miranda. It debuts exclusively July 3, 2020 on [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNYcwbEL-pg If there were ever a way for Pixar to speak to this cultural moment that we're in, this new 60-second spot for Soul may be it. The commercial doesn't directly reflect or comment on any of the racial tensions and reckonings that we've experienced over the past month but, in that context, you could [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSCKfXpAGHc Disney+ will be the stream where it happens. On July 3, the stage production of Broadway's Hamilton will finally arrive on the digital service. Writer/Producer/Actor Lin-Manuel Miranda leads the full original cast in this taping of the stage show about Alexander Hamilton and the American Revolution. It won 11 Tony Awards as well as [...]
It's the first cut from The Snyder Cut. Director Zack Snyder tweeted out the first new look of his original edit for Justice League (see video below), the DC superhero team-up movie that Snyder had to bail out of during post-production and reshoots due to a family tragedy. Avengers 1 & 2 guru Joss Whedon took [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hAL7emClFM There's something a little stale about old dudes still trying to party, and it's something that even William S. Preston Esq. and Theodore Logan can't quite shake. Nevertheless, when the heart's in the right place, it's still worth it to party on. That's the vibe of the first official trailer for Bill & Ted [...]
