The Mandalorian and Grogu made less than Solo this weekend -- to the surprise of no one. Does this mean Star Wars, as a brand, is dead? Maybe, maybe not.

Video game journalists will go broke this year.

Nintendo HQ just got hit with mailed bomb threats from some 27-year-old unemployed clown in Japan -- the guy sent letters starting back in March claiming he planted multiple bombs and straight-up wrote "I'm going to blow you all up" plus "my plans cannot be thwarted" like he was auditioning for a bad action movie. Kyoto cops arrested him May 12 on business disruption charges, no actual explosives were ever found...

James Gunn Supergirl promotion has begun, and they're already doing damage control and blaming "toxic fandom" going after Millie Alcock. This isn't going to help get butts in seats.

RIP podcasters? Amazon wants to replace human podcasters with AI, and they're working with mainstream news outlets including The New York Times, Reuters, and the Associated Press. The AI will literally just spin up news podcasts ala carte. So does that mean Joe Rogan and all these Hollywood celebrities rushing into the podcast space are out of luck? Probably not. But smaller podcasters probably will be. Watch the podcast episodes o...

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny has already been 'decanonized' by fans on X.

This is straight-up wild -- a New Haven drug dealer named Ronnell Rogers just got slammed with six years in federal prison because cops pulled him over and found his stash packed with fentanyl, heroin, cocaine, and meth pills molded exactly like Super Mario's head, mustache, eyebrows and all. Yeah the same Nintendo icon kids grew up collecting is now being shaped into candy-looking dope that could fool a toddler ...

Damon Lindelof thinks Lucasfilm is lost. He talks about why they fired him off a Star Wars movie, and talks about there seems to be no direction in the Disney division.
