Days Gone Actor Complains That Journalists Don’t Finish Games

New DVD release, , , ,
During a recent Reddit AMA, Days Gone voice actor Sam Witwer (who portrayed Deacon St. John) blamed some of the game’s negative reviews on journalists that didn’t finish the game. “You’re asking me about the review world. That’s not quiiiite the audience,” Witwer says. “I read a review today from a website/publication that will remain nameless. In it, the horde mechanic, the show-stopping center piece of the game, it wasn’t mentioned once. Not ONCE. There were other tells, but it was pretty clear that this reviewer played the game for several hours and then wrote his review. He did not…

Shazam 2: Mark Strong’s Dr. Sivana Isn’t in the Movie, Confirms the Actor

New DVD release, , , , ,
When we last saw Shazam’s arch-nemesis Dr. Thaddeus Sivana (Mark Strong) during a mid-credits sequence at the end of 2019’s Shazam!, the mad scientist and Seven Deadly Sins host had been defeated by the title hero and was firmly ensconced at Rock Falls Penitentiary. It was in his cell that he was approached by the super-intelligent alien centipede — and fellow Shazam super-villain — Mister Mind, who offered to form an alliance with Sivana and promised that the Seven Realms would be theirs for the taking. While the sequel, now titled Shazam! Fury of the Gods, has been steadily ramping…

Iron Man 2 Actor Mickey Rourke Loves SVU, But Not The MCU

New DVD release, , ,
Actor Mickey Rourke was part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe when it was barely a universe. In 2010, Rourke starred as the villainous Ivan Vanko a.k.a. Whiplash in Iron Man 2, the third entry into the MCU canon after Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk. Since then, the franchise has expanded quite profoundly with 23 films in the fold, many more to come, and a thriving TV universe getting started on Disney+. Now Rourke has shared his thoughts on the state of the MCU via his Instagram and it amounts to a decisive “not a fan.” Tucked into the very…

Victor Zsasz Actor Alex Morf’s Journey From Gotham to Batwoman

New DVD release, , , , ,
This Batwoman article contains spoilers for Season 2, Episode 3. Classic Batman villain Victor Zsasz burst onto the scene in this week’s Batwoman with what is simultaneously the creepiest and most fun villain introduction on the series yet. Tricking his way into a hotel suite with a bottle of high end champagne, the notorious hitman took out a high roller and his mistress by order of the man’s wife, telling them so as he chased them around the hotel room and killed them, making sure the mistress knew Zsasz’s client splashed out more than her now-dead husband.  The scene is…

It’s a Sin’s Doctor Who Crossover Pays Tribute to Remembrance of the Daleks Actor

New DVD release, , , , ,
Warning: Contains spoilers for It’s a Sin episode 4 All five episodes of Russell T Davies’ blistering 1980s-set AIDS drama It’s a Sin are a tribute to the lives of gay men lost to the virus, but one scene in particular was written in specific recognition of an individual. Speaking to Doctor Who Magazine, Davies describes a moment in episode four as “a little smile” towards actor Dursley McLinden. “I was really desperate to do it,” said Davies. “I did it for Dursley.” The scene features series lead Olly Alexander as actor Ritchie Tozer, who’s playing a part in a…

How Boba Fett Actor Jeremy Bulloch Set the Template for The Mandalorian

New DVD release, , , ,
Boba Fett’s green, T-visored helmet is a menacing visage that’s nearly evocative of Star Wars as Darth Vader’s; one first embodied on film by actor Jeremy Bulloch, who, sadly, passed away on December 17 at the age of 75. However, the legacy that Bulloch leaves behind has proven far greater than a character with minimal screentime and dubbed lines seemingly had any right to possess. It’s a legacy to which hit Disney+ series The Mandalorian owes a great deal of thanks. Bulloch, born in Leicestershire, England on February 16, 1945, wasted little time getting himself onscreen with uncredited roles—while still…

Mighty Max: Original Voice Actor Suggests It’s Time for a Comeback

New DVD release, , , , ,
Recently, I had the honor of getting to talk to voice actor Ron Paulsen for about an hour. The point of the interview was to discuss the Animaniacs revival on Hulu and a little bit about his autobiography Voice Lessons, but the two of us discussed all kinds of corners of his career. Rob, an incredibly friendly guy who comes off like there’s nothing he’d rather do than talk with a fan, talked up everything from Pinky and the Brain to Metal Gear Solid. Starting way back in the GI Joe days, Rob Paulsen has been doing the voice acting…

Doctor Who: What Each Actor Brings to the Role of the Master

New DVD release, , ,
Sometimes you’ve just got to look at the general vibe of 2020 (the furnace bit in Toy Story 3 but half the toys are drinking lighter fluid) and decide to write something positive. On my way to nursery, another dad was telling me how he found Sacha Dhawan’s performance as the Master in Doctor Who a high point of the last series, so inspired by that, let’s celebrate what was good about each actor to play the role on television. If nothing else, it’ll probably be good for my mental health and give someone a chance to type ‘Of course…

Why Timothée Chalamet Was The Perfect Lead Actor For Dune

New DVD release, , ,
In the new film adaptation of the classic sci-fi novel Dune, acclaimed actor Timothée Chalamet plays the central character of Paul Atreides, the teenage heir of a powerful space-faring family who becomes both the leader of an oppressed people and possibly a galactic messiah foretold in an ancient prophecy. It’s a hefty amount of character development to carry even for an actor like Chalamet, who at the age of 24 has already racked up an impressive array of credits in movies like Call Me by Your Name, Lady Bird, Beautiful Boy, The King, and Little Women. But director Denis Villeneuve…

Cyborg Actor Slams How Joss Whedon Handled Justice League Movie

New DVD release, , , , , ,
The DCEU’s Cyborg, Ray Fisher, just took a major shot at Joss Whedon and the theatrical cut of Justice League. Fisher who appeared (very briefly) as Vic “Cyborg” Stone in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and (more substantially) in Justice League offered a sharp critique of that latter film’s co-director Joss Whedon and presumably his vision of the finished product that eventually made it to theaters and underwhelmed both critics and fans. Whedon, of course, came on to replace Snyder as the director of Justice League after Snyder suffered a family tragedy that left him unable to complete the…
