House Of The Dragon Hypes Season 2 With Dueling Trailers

House Of The Dragon Hypes Season 2 With Dueling Trailers

, , , , 8

  HBO’s Game of Thrones spin-off, House Of The Dragon, is returning this summer with its second season. HBO wants to know: Which side are you on? Team Green or Team Black? In an unconventional move, they have released two trailers simultaneously. One showcases the Black side, led by Queen Rhaenyra’s crew, while the other highlights the Green side, featuring the Hightowers at Kings Landing, where Aegon II currently rules. Let’s begin by exploring the case for the Black Side. Are you ready for a thrilling adventure in the world of House Of The Dragon? Choose your side and let the game begin! Let’s check out the case for the Black Side first. Rhaenyra had her eyes on the Iron Throne from the beginning and feels cheated of her birthright. She’s down one dragon, but not in resolve. Her goal is to launch a siege on King’s Landing and yank Aegon off of it. Meanwhile, on the Green Side…. Aegon was never really interested in the Iron Throne in the

Conan O’Brien Must Go….To Max

Conan O’Brien Must Go….To Max

, , 0

No, this headline doesn’t mean Max is starting a new late-night show for Conan O’Brien. The sad reality is O’Brien was simply too talented for the late-night industry to handle. That career is meant for bland guys named Jimmy. What Conan CAN do is film himself traveling around the world, package up the footage and sell it as a miniseries. That’s CONAN O’BRIEN MUST GO….a four-parter coming to Max next month. The series is an extension of Conan’s popular podcast, “Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend,” which you should have been listening to already. The premise (and excuse for the airfare) is that some of the “friends” Conan has made through his podcast live in other counties, and so Conan is coming to visit them. You may have seen clips from these visits last year; that was from when Max first announced the series. They’ve apparently been sitting on it this whole time; a reality show shouldn’t take that long to edit, especially one that’s four episodes long. But they’re finally

True Detective Renewed For Fifth Season

True Detective Renewed For Fifth Season

, , , 5

About a decade ago people were telling me I had to start watching this new True Detective show on HBO. “It’s the best show ever!” they told me. My slow self didn’t even start to consider it until Season 2 was already a thing, at which point people were NOW telling me “don’t bother, it’s garbage now.” I thought I’d just never hear about True Detective anymore, but now that it’s made it all the way to Season 4, people are telling me to watch it again? Make up your minds! Yes, I’m aware each season of True Detective is different. It’s an anthology show with a completely new cast each time. Apparently they managed to hit a home run again with the combo of showrunner Issa López and actress Jodie Foster in “Night Country” (what the fourth season is subtitled). So much so that López has been asked to come back to run the show’s fifth season, which was announced today. “From conception to release, Night Country has been

Got Yourself A Gun: The Sopranos Turns 25

Got Yourself A Gun: The Sopranos Turns 25

I’m old enough to remember a time when HBO wasn’t known for “prestige television.” The appeal of an HBO Original was that they could drop F-bombs and show boobs and that was it. That perception started changing with the arrival of one particular crime drama in early 1999. The Sopranos was not only a great show but elevated the class of the network it was on, inspiring them to take a chance on better-written programs and get rid of stuff like “Arli$$.” Anyway, Tony Soprano and his family are 25! And their parent company has a lot planned to celebrate. Max sent us a letter detailing all the Sporanos-related things you can experience in 2024. This week alone there will be newly released deleted scenes, special events in New York and LA, and even a TikTok with 25-second clips from each episode. Starting today, Max will launch The Sopranos: 25th Anniversary collection, which includes 15 deleted scenes, three of which have never been released. It will also include over five

Adventure Time: Fionna And Cake Granted Second Season

Adventure Time: Fionna And Cake Granted Second Season

If you thought Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake was a one-time deal….well, so did we, so we’re surprised (but not disappointed) to learn today Max has renewed the show for a second season. All episodes of Season 1 debuted last September on the streaming service. On the original series, Fionna and Cake were imaginary characters Ice King whipped up for his fanfiction stories. On the Max spinoff, Fionna and Cake are revealed to be…just an ordinary girl and her cat in an ordinary urban cityscape. That unexpected twist was the first of many, and what the pair find out about their origin is wilder still (but somehow consistent with what AT already established). “As proud stewards of the beloved Adventure Time brand, we have been delighted to dig deeper into the world through the FIONNA AND CAKE lens,” says Suzanna Makkos, EVP at Max and Adult Swim. “We look forward to following them on the next chapter of their journey!” Adam Muto, showrunner and executive producer, adds “To know that

House Of The Dragon Season 2 Teaser Released

House Of The Dragon Season 2 Teaser Released

Here’s the truth about House of the Dragon Season 2: in case you’re wondering how it got here so fast amidst so many Hollywood strikes, the answer is that it cheated. Season 2 was filmed last summer during the period when the writers were on strike but the actors weren’t yet. This may not be a good thing because most movies and TV shows tend to do revisions and edits to the story during the filming process. What works on paper may not always work in motion. During the previous writer’s strike in 2007, several studios pushed forward with scripts that were technically there but with no one to touch them up, and the results were things like Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End and Heroes Season 2. Both series never recovered from those stinkers. Whether House of the Dragon is headed for the same fate, I couldn’t tell you. I’m just giving you a warning. The focus of Season 2 will be what was building up during Season

Max Considers Removing Looney Tunes, Then Backtracks

Max Considers Removing Looney Tunes, Then Backtracks

, , , , 5

Another week, another PR nightmare for Warner Bros of their own making. The studio’s streaming service, Max, has released its list of titles coming in December and leaving before the New Year. There are a lot of good things on that list that have no guarantee of showing up anywhere else, but what leapt out to people was the mention that Looney Tunes was leaving. The whole thing. Max pared down its library of Looney Tunes shorts when CEO David Zaslav first took control, but did not dare to get rid of them completely. This time, they did. The reaction was swift and overwhelmingly negative, with demands that WB reverse course on erasing some of the best material in its own history. And it looks like the company gave in: a revised list was issued a day later that does not mention Looney Tunes in the “leaving” list. It hasn’t been that long since the Coyote Vs Acme debacle, which played out earlier this month in exactly this fashion. We

The Doom Patrol Returns For One Final Battle October 12

The Doom Patrol Returns For One Final Battle October 12

Well, here we finally go. Nearly a year after everyone expected it to show up, the final half-season of Doom Patrol is finally, definitively scheduled for an October debut. Will we ever know why we had to wait so long? Probably not. But at least we finally have this trailer we’ve been waiting many months to receive. When we last left our favorite misfits, they had just all been tricked by the supervillain Immortus. If they have anything in common besides their inability to get along with each other, it’s the fact that all of them are immortal for one reason or another. But now Immortus has stolen that power from all of them, and they’re determined to get it back before they age into dust. They may have to fight through an army of disembodied zombie butts first, however. The Doom Patrol meet old friends and foes as they race to defeat Immortus and get back their longevities. Battling between saving the world and each other, the Doom Patrol

Finally, A Premiere Date For The End Of Doom Patrol

Finally, A Premiere Date For The End Of Doom Patrol

Season four of Doom Patrol — its final season — was split up by Max to air in two parts. It was believed that those two parts would appear at the same time as its sister series Titans, since up to that point, they tended to premiere together. But when Titans finished its run last spring, the last six episodes of Doom Patrol did not appear alongside it. Newly appointed King of DC James Gunn was asked directly about the status of Doom Patrol on Threads (during that very brief period when Threads was relevant). He said “no, Doom Patrol episodes are absolutely NOT being shelved, even though the premiere date for the next shows hasn’t yet been announced to the public.” We’ve been waiting for that alleged announcement ever since. We’re pleased to report that, finally, we DID get the announcement and the long drought is coming to an end. The return of Doom Patrol has been scheduled for October 12, with two episodes premiering then and the last

Fear The Walking Dead And Other AMC Shows To Stream On….Max?

Fear The Walking Dead And Other AMC Shows To Stream On….Max?

Remember when the booming streaming business was so cutthroat that all the studios were hoarding their own shows behind massive walls of steel and refusing to share? That was….like, ten minutes ago. We guess times change in a blink these days. AMC Networks made the surprising announcement this morning that they’ve made a deal with Warner Bros to put some of their shows on Max, a competing service. AMC has been trying for a few years to get their own service, AMC+ , off the ground. If you tune into AMC at any given time, assuming you still have cable, you’ll see an ad for AMC+ and if you watch a show, they’ll tell you new episodes premiere on the streaming channel a week before they show up on cable. This new swerve from the company may indicate they’re cooling on the whole idea of self-ownership. AMC and Max’s newfound friendship will add the following shows to the latter’s library starting September 1: Fear The Walking Dead, Killing Eve, A

New Max Toon Trailers: Tiny Toons, Fionna And Cake

New Max Toon Trailers: Tiny Toons, Fionna And Cake

It’s almost time for Max (the streamer, not the rich brat) to release a couple of cartoons with well-known stars that we’ve been waiting for a long time. Both will finally make their television debuts within a month. First up is Tiny Toons Looniversity, a reboot of the beloved 1990s animated series, itself based on the classic Looney Tunes shorts. However Babs, Buster, Plucky and Hamton aren’t total ripoffs of Bugs, Daffy and Porky. The original show took the shorts as inspiration to make a new breed of WB cartoon wackiness that built on what came before it yet formed its own identity. Tiny Toons Looniversity, in turn, is more of an inspiration than a direct continuation of Tiny Toon Adventures. It’s a different bunch of toons; even if they look the same, they are not (Buster and Babs share DNA this time). Let’s hope it turns out as good. Next up is Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake, which — if the trailer released yesterday is any indication — has

SDCC 2023: Fionna and Cake March Toward Max

It’s been a long wait, but the Adventure Time spinoff Fionna and Cake is almost done. We’ve been waiting two years since the announcement was first made, but technically the wait started back in 2011 when Ice King showed off his fanfiction of a gender-bent Finn and Jake to his captive penguin audience. Fionna and Cake never existed in Ooo, but this new show proposes they DO exist somewhere. Also, they may not have started out as adventurers like Finn and Jake did — today’s Comic-Con trailer reveals they’ve been living grounded, mundane lives, working in a big city. That is, until Simon shows up — the former Ice King. How’d he get here? Or is it a different Simon than from the Ooo we know? Whoever he is, he won’t be alone. WB mentions the series will have “appearances from Marshall Lee, Marceline the Vampire Queen, Princess Bubblegum, and Finn the Human.” But it’ll be Fionna and Cake in the starring role. The voice cast includes Madeleine Martin, Roz
