Wynonna Earp Returns July 20 On SyFy

Wynonna Earp Returns July 20 On SyFy

, , , , , 0

Today is an ugly day for TV news (if no one told you about Brooklyn Nine-Nine, sorry you had to hear it from us), but the silver lining is that we get at least one more season of Wynonna Earp, and we now know when. SyFy’s outrageous comedy-horror Western will be back mid-summer. Why should you care? Because it’s about the great-grandaughter of Wyatt Earp, who was actually a demon-hunter with a magic gun, and things get FAR weirder from there. A typical season arc will be massively disjointed, but in a good way. Things will be set up that appear to affect the rest of the season, only to be blown out midway through. Season two began with a secret organization blackmailing Wynonna into helping them capture monsters. In any other show that would have been the procedural setup for the entire season, but here they get murdered five episodes in and the cast finds something worse to worry about. At some point Wynonna gets possessed and makes her

Creepypasta isn’t scary noodles, it’s the 21st century version of the campfire ghost story, only spoken around computer monitors instead of flames. The creepypasta wiki is full of the best ones, and SyFy has been doing something novel by taking some of the most popular creepypasta and adapting them into seasons of Channel Zero, their new anthology horror series. Season 1 premiered last year and was based on Kris Straub’s viral tale “Candle Cove,” about an unnerving kiddie puppet show from the 60’s that turns out to be more than just a program. This year they’re adapting “No-End House,” which is honestly one of the best things I’ve ever read from someone who wasn’t getting paid to write it (hopefully the royalties from this show will take care of that). It’s a fantastically scary tale about a man who takes up a dare to enter a house with nine rooms. If you can reach the end you get $500, but legend has it no one has ever made it through

SDCC 2017: Wynonna Earp Renewed For Third Season

SDCC 2017: Wynonna Earp Renewed For Third Season

, , , 0

Yesterday during SDCC SyFy made the announcement that their whacked-out western horror comedy series Wynonna Earp would stick around another year. The crowd went wild, as this tweet video proves. Last time we brought up Wynonna Earp on this site, I told you the show was “fun but flawed” and that the Bobo storyline didn’t have high enough stakes. Both those statements related to Season One. Season Two, currently airing, has been an improvement. Bobo is gone and so are the other Biker Demons, handwaved offscreen. Instead of chasing mildly weird-looking humans, Wynonna is now facing actual monsters — monsters that can hit her where it hurts. A dark spirit possessed her sister for several episodes, and then possessed HER, leading to the best episode of the series to date. Evil Wynonna, cackling like a witch and feeding Waverly pureed rat, was a delight to have around, if only for an hour. She recovered, but the experience left her…..pregnant. This was due to actress Melanie Scrofano’s actual pregnancy at the

SDCC 2017: A Peek At The Final Season of 12 Monkeys

SDCC 2017: A Peek At The Final Season of 12 Monkeys

We have monkeys! Not actual monkeys, but members of a time-destroying cult who call themselves the 12 Monkeys! The panel for the fourth and final season took place at SDCC this morning, and though few answers were revealed, we did get this trailer out of it. Having binged on all three existing seasons of 12 Monkeys about two months ago, I can confirm that it is mindblowingly awesome and that everybody should be watching it. The fact that SyFy just dumped Season Three over the course of four days with little to no promotion — ON THE SAME WEEKEND TWIN PEAKS PREMIERED — fills me with rage every time I think about it. I can plead with you to watch this show, but it’s no good if you can’t actually watch it. 12 Monkeys pretty much abandoned its movie premise dozens of episodes ago, which was about people from an apocalyptic future traveling back in time to stop a cult from unleashing a plague. The premise is now much wilder

DC Comics has not been afraid to push boldly into new directions for their classic characters and franchises. Batman got a prequel series called Gotham, which has pushed very far from the lore at times. And now, we’re going to get a prequel story for Superman via Krypton, which will tell of how the house of El came to be so respected, after being so hated for so long. At San Diego Comic Con, a new teaser trailer for the show debuted, and with it came a new release date, 2018. The show was previously believed to be coming in 2017, but it seems that’s no longer the case anymore. This will be the first DC Comics show to go on Syfy. There was a rumor of a Booster Gold series for a long time, but that never came to fruition.

Wynonna Earp Is Getting An Unconventional Blu-Ray Release

Wynonna Earp Is Getting An Unconventional Blu-Ray Release

Television studios have had to come up with various ways of dealing with a hardcore collectors’ market that will still pay for shows on disc, while dealing with a brick-and-mortar market that continues to shrink its DVD and Blu-Ray shelf space. To get through the blockade to their fans, some companies have offered shows as online exclusives. Some have started on-demand services that print episodes on DVD-Rs. But what SyFy is doing with their zany urban horror western Wynonna Earp is a new one. The Blu-Ray (there will not be a DVD) is an Indiegogo exclusive. The discs will be physically pressed, but there will only be as many as people demand within the time limit. SyFy is also promising “incredible behind-the-scenes content,” but won’t specify what that means. This being a crowdfunding offering, you can also get hardcover books and collectible items that otherwise wouldn’t have happened with a traditional release. It depends on how much you want to pay (the set itself is $30, a standard and fair

Pop Geeks’ Flashback Interview: Debbie Gibson

(Cover photo courtesy of RayGarciaPhotography.com) As a young 80s fan in the late 90s and early 00s, one of the artists whose work spoke to me was Debbie Gibson. Ballads like “Foolish Beat” and “Lost In Your Eyes”, upbeat tracks like “Shake Your Love” and “Electric Youth”…These were songs that inspired me and cheered me up during some rough times. In 2014, I met Ms. Gibson at Chiller Theatre, and she was as sweet and lovely as her music is. I mentioned that I wanted to interview her, and I was finally able to do so in 2016. Since Debbie has been busy with various projects, including an upcoming Hallmark Channel TV movie called Summer Of Dreams, we did the interview via e-mail. I hope you all enjoy her thoughts on topics ranging from “Only In My Dreams” to Summer Of Dreams. Say hello to Debbie Gibson! Johnny: This year marks the 30th anniversary of the release of your debut single “Only In My Dreams”. You’ve occasionally retooled and revised

Pop Geeks Interview: Z Nation Star Keith Allan

Pop Geeks Interview: Z Nation Star Keith Allan

Recently, PopGeeks.net got the chance to speak with actor Keith Allan, the star of the hit SyFy TV series Z Nation, which is currently in the middle of its second season. Keith Allan portrays the survivor character Murphy; a convicted felon who was involuntarily injected with an experimental zombie vaccine after a zombie apocalypse had overtaken the world. The vaccine had some interesting side effects, and now Murphy seems to have some special powers — almost like a human/zombie mutant hybrid. However, his goals routinely come into conflict with that of the other survivors in the series. Allan is an experienced writer and director, having written and directed the feature film 11/11/11. Later on, he landed the lead role of Murphy on Z Nation. Allan read for the role seven times before securing it. His previous acting work also includes shows such as Star Trek: Enterprise; Scrubs; CSI: Crime Scene Investigation; Dragnet; and Mad Men. Here is what Allan had to say on continuing his role of Murphy in the

However much affection you might have for Sharknado, or Sharktopus, or even Piranhaconda if that’s your thing (no judging), you have to admit that most of what’s on Syfy (pronounced “siffy”) is stupid crap. A channel that once held the promise of expanding our geeky minds is now just another channel that makes us dumber with ghost huntin’, reality shows, and movies starring Tara Reid. Well, no more, say Syfy (prononounced “arugula”) execs. They have seen all that money that channels like AMC and HBO are making with shows that don’t treat their viewers like lobotomy patients. And they want some. According to Syfy (pronounced “Mercedes Ruehl”) president Dave Howe via The Hollywood Reporter, the channel is trying to rectify its perception problems with a return to its roots. “We want to be the best science-fiction channel that we possibly can, and in some respects, that means going back to the more traditional sci-fi/fantasy that fans often say they feel we’ve exited,” Howe tells THR. “We’re going to occupy that space in
