Because of that, I was more than a little intrigued by Seth MacFarlane’s show The Orville. How typical it is that I never saw the first season. It looked like it might be good and the production values looked promising, but I never got the chance. With the new seasons arrival, I decided to check it out and see what I missed. For their second season premier, they decided to focus on the characters more than jumping into a far flung…

Especially when it involves a film that has the potential of Margot Robbies’ Birds of Prey. With film production scheduled to begin in the coming month in Los Angeles, the natural question is how long will they be working? HN Entertainment has apparently answered that question as they report that filming on Birds of Prey is expected to be completed around April 13th. Birds of Prey will see Margot Robbies Harley Quinn team up with DC Comics heroines Huntress (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), and Black Canary (Jurnee Smollett-Bell)…

In a conversation with CBR, Taylor explains the circumstances the Penguin used to his advantage and his position in “No Man’s Land.” As most people would see Gotham being cut off from the rest of the world as something to be panicked about, Penguin saw an opportunity, and this is his chance. There’s a vacuum there of control, and so he puts himself in City Hall because let’s not…

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”12503″ img_size=”800×450″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]With the end of 2018 rapidly approaching, it is only natural to reflect on the past year and all that has transpired during that time. We here at GVNation have talked about the best and worst movies, Netflix shows, and everything that has made 2018 the year it was. Along with that reflection, it is also common to look ahead and perhaps, set some resolutions for the upcoming year. Never one to back down from a challenge, I present to you: “New Years Resolutions from a Geeks Perspective.” Theses are in no particular order since I consider…

If there is one thing that is as common as breathing, it is a persons proclivity to defend the things they like. It doesn’t matter if it’s their favorite food, sports team, or their favorite movie. Unfortunately, sometimes in the fervor to support their opinions, they can be a little aggressive to other fans and start a social media scrum. This has been especially true with James Wan’s Aquaman. It came down to those who have come to expect the worse from films in the DCU and those who believe that Aquaman has begun the turnaround. Apparently, these conflicts have caught the attention…

With Sony’s Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse approaching $100 mil at the box office and both audiences and critics singing it’s praises, co-creator artist Sara Pichelli recently took to Instagram to thank fans for their support. Thanks for all the congrats  and the love shared after you watched Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse. Here is the image I created for the movie, it was amazing seeing this on the big screen. Pichelli along with co-creator, writer Brian Michael Bendis have a lot to be thankful for. With the success that Into the Spiderverse is enjoying, is there really any doubt that a…

If you listen closely, you can hear the crickets. That sound is the amount of information being shared by Microsoft and Sony about their next generation of gaming consoles. They have admitted that they are working on them but other than that…crickets. Recently in a sit down with Cradle Games’ technical director Marc-André Jutras, the folks at GamingBolt asked what the next gen specs might be. I don’t think we will see 16GB of RAM, most games don’t use that much RAM anyway,” he told the site. “I think the next generation will be between 8 and 12, probably. What you…

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”12409″ img_size=”800×450″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]When Touchstone Pictures and Director Robert Zemeckis released Who Framed Roger Rabbit in 1988, it amazed audiences with its blending of real life actors and dozens of the cartoon characters that people grew up with. Even now, after 30 years, it is still revered by fans. With the current trend of remaking, and rebooting past films, it is only natural that Roger Rabbit might be mentioned. In a recent interview with Yahoo, Director Zemeckis was asked about the possibilities of a sequel to his beloved classic and if Disney would be interested in such a project. Zemeckis…

If you were a kid in the 80’s, you probably spent more than a little time in the arcades playing a multitude of games that were available back then. Donkey Kong, Galaga, Pac-Man, Street Fighter were just waiting for you to slap your quarter in to test your skills. While arcades are still a thing, those older games have long been passed on for more graphically advanced games and you can forget the idea of a quarter getting you anywhere. But for those of you, like myself, who still have a soft spot for those simpler games of the past,…

Apparently, when it came to the Arrowverse, Gotham was one of the words they were not allowed to use or even visit. With the tonight’s Arrow, the ban has finally been lifted and they will get to present their depiction of Gotham. This represents a long hoped for possibility. Caroline Dries, who wrote Part 2 of the “Elseworlds” crossover event with Arrow EP Marc Guggenheim, used to work on Smallville. While at a recent press event,…
