Spider-Man: Brand New Day had an amazing opening with $355 million!! The Odyssey sailed to number two with $51 million. Toy Story 5 was still playful at number three with $6.3 million. Most other titles shifted a spot or two while the only newcomer, I Want Your Sex, opened at number eight. Young Washington rounded out the top ten.    Check out the full box office chart below. Until next time,…

The Shards is the new FX series based on Bret Easton Ellis novel. The new series and book for that matter is based in the 1980’s and to celebrate the series, FX held a special pop up event at the Sherman Oaks Galleria here in Cali. The series is based in the valley so it’s very fitting. It’s an adorable pop up and Scotty joined me to check it out. They recreated a mall (in the old Tower Records…

I’ve heard a lot of people complain about Comic Con this year and to be honest there were a lot of shenanigans that happened. My geeky heart goes out to all those who waited for a Hall H wristband only to get shut out by people making fakes. Same for the fans at the Funko booth on Wednesday night. But I think those are somewhat anomalies, my experience at SDCC has always been fairly communal My…

Percy Jackson and the Olympians is one of the most popular series on Disney+. It’s full of action, sci-fi goodness and shockingly emotional at times. I really have enjoyed it over the past couple seasons. A third season is on its way and Disney brought the Percy Jackson Experience to SDCC to thrill fans. Everyone going on this adventure got to pick which quest to go on, Percy’s quest is what we…

One of the highlights of SDCC for the past… oh… five years maybe now… Is the Hulu offsite activation. This year, they called it Hulu Animayhem, which was correct! Hulu does a wonderful job of bringing their shows to life through fun activations and events and 2026 was no exception. 2026 focused on King of the Hill and Futurama, two shows that are amazing and have had such a long life. There were…

Stuart Fails To Save The Universe is the newest spinoff of The Big Bang Theory and I have to say, judging from the first episode we’re all in for a wild ride. I’m not going to spoil anything, but dang… I really liked it! Angie and I braved the intense heat on Friday morning and headed down to the offsite activation which was something I really wanted to check out. I’m so glad we did. What a fun…

Clearly one of the hottest tickets at SDCC 2026 was the Lanterns offsite experience. Now, I have to say, I was so lucky to be able to do this. When we got in, there were several groups and we all split off into different groups to do different challenges. You got recruited to do different activities based on what group you were in. The first challenge we had to overcome was an attack, which was…

Adult Swim does a great job at SDCC and they are almost like a con mainstay! I have to say, I look forward to their press night every year. This year, while there was not a jousting cat we could ride, there was a spinning ride em’ cat. Lol. There was also a stage where you could watch Adult Swim shows, see Rick and Morty and they even held cast readings through the weekend. We did take part in…

San Diego Comic Con is in full swing and the first stop had to be The Paramount Lodge. It’s like an annual event and every year they do not disappoint. In years past, there have been some fun photo ops, activations and more. This year, you walk in to the giant Paramount logo and then are immediately ushered in to get some custom swag. I’ll tell you, I loved the custom Paramount Plus luggage…

The Odyssey was epic, opening at number one with $124 million. Moana surfed into the number two spot with $19 million. Minions & Monsters was diab9olical at number three with $14.8 million. Toy Story 5 and Evil Dead Burn each dropped a spot, while The Invite held at number six. Obsession fascinated by staying on the chart for yet another week and Disclosure Day rounded out the top ten.    Check…

Adult Swim always does such a fun job with their Comic Con presence. Trust me, last year I climbed a dinosaur and jousted on a cat and my niece and nephew were super jealous! It was such a blast! This year Adult Swim has so many thing happening! Laser dance parites… GTFO! How cool does that sound. Check the link for everything and hopefully, I’ll see you there!   ADULT SWIM’S PARTY ON THE GREEN…

FX, who have been at the forefront of all the amazing activations at Comic Con for the past.. oh.. decade or so, are back at SDCC this year. They are going to be doing a special American Horror Story ice cream truck, that will have… wait for it.. 13 Flavors. I mean of course. It’s 13 Seasons of AHS and yes, that makes me feel really old, lol. I know a lot of you have been asking about this…

There are so many things to do at SDCC! Last year, Magic: The Gathering blew me away with their Spider-Man offsite and this year they’re back at Petco Park with the Super Heroes Fan Experience!
