Earlier today, The Walt Disney Company held their Quarter 3 Shareholders Meeting, marking the first meeting since Disney acquired the rights to 20th Century Fox last month. Disney CEO Bob Iger answered shareholder’s questions, mostly pertaining to the rights to the dozens of intellectual properties Disney has just purchased. Another big topic of discussion was what Disney plans on doing with these IP’s and how they will affect the upcoming Disney streaming service. Of course, one of the biggest questions was what Disney plans to do with the specific properties of Deadpool, X-Men, and the Fantastic Four, in co-existence with…

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”1922″ img_size=”600×400″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded”][vc_column_text]Disney’s streaming service seems to be getting more enticing. The New York Times reported today that the last Marvel movie to be put on Netflix will be Ant Man and The Wasp, meaning that Captain Marvel will be the first MCU movie on the Disney streaming app! This is as big of a blow for Netflix as it is a win for Disney, since Netflix has had the rights to add the MCU movies to their library. But don’t fret yet, a Disney spokesperson has said that the titles on Netflix that fall under the Disney…
For the past few years, Disney has been on a kick of re-making animated classic movies into live action adaptations. From Cinderella to the Jungle Book, to Beauty and the Beast to most recently release, Christopher Robin. And Disney has revealed plans for many more live action films that are either in production or in the works. I know there are people out there who think Disney should stick to original content and not touch the classics, and I can 100% see their point; however, with the success of films like Beauty and the Beast and Christopher Robin, I’m slowly…
For as long as I can remember, superhero movies have come down to two brands: Marvel and DC. And since 2008, Marvel has dominated the conversation, even with Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight series. Once could say that DC hasn’t been helping themselves by trying to copy the MCU formula, and failing miserably. The Hollywood Reporter just released an article talking about how DC seems to be going in a more standalone direction rather than trying to connect each film like Marvel does. However, there are people out there who believe that DC is going to try a new formula, and…
Winter is Coming. It’s a phrase, it’s the words of House Stark, it’s a fact, but most importantly, it’s the title of the pilot episode of what would become, arguably, the best show to ever grace our television sets, Game of Thrones. And it’s the launching point of this great journey you, Tia, and myself will be going on together. But mainly, it’s the first episode of Game of Thrones The episode itself is fantastic. It gives you a hint of what is to come: romance, hatred, character arcs, violence, and insane levels of tension for us viewers. What I love…
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”1487″ img_size=”1000×500″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded”][vc_column_text]The last time we saw Tycho Nestoris, of the Iron Bank, he was sitting in King’s Landing with Queen Cersei Lannister discussing the saleswords known as the Golden Company coming to aid Cersei in her fight against the Daenerys and Jon Snow. Actor Mark Gatiss surprisingly didn’t hold anything back when asked if he will be appearing in the show’s final season, saying “I’m not in it, so I guess I survive. Although they might mention off-hand that I’ve had my head bitten off by a dragon off-screen or something.” If this is true, one could…
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”1462″ img_size=”1920×1080″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_border” border_color=”black”][vc_column_text]These days The Walt Disney Company is synonymous with buying intellectual properties. Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm, and now 20th Century Fox, are examples of properties purchased by the top entertainment company in the world. However, Disney is now feeling a bit of seller’s remorse. Back in 2016, Disney sold certain rights to Star Wars to Turner Broadcasting, which enabled the cable television company to air the movies regularly on stations like TBS and TNT, and online. The deal’s expiration date is sometime in 2024. Since that deal, Disney has released 3 Star Wars movies, with another…

The layout for the series will be pretty easy to follow along to. For each season, we’ll pick 3 episodes to deep dive…
