According to a 2019 YouGov poll, 14% of Americans have a zombie apocalypse plan of some sort. Even the CDC provides zombie apocalypse advice, including having one gallon of water per person per day, stocking up on food, and choosing a rallying point for family members should everyone get separated in the mad rush for safety. That concept of preparedness has infiltrated popular culture like a walker in an unguarded camp thanks to The Walking Dead and other pieces of zombie media. Being ready for whatever life throws your way is no longer just for paranoid, reclusive mountain men.  The…

Archer Season 11: Inside Barry’s Return and the Robot Apocalypse

This new season largely revolves around the changes that have happened during Archer’s coma absence and whether he’s able to persevere through these transitions.

For the 2020 fiscal year, the Department of Defense has been given a budget of approximately $721.5 billion dollars.

Bryan Singer MIA During X-Men: Apocalypse Shoot, Says Olivia Munn

Bryan Singer left filming on X-Men: Apocalypse for more than ten days to cope with a ‘thyroid issue’, according to actress Olivia Munn, who has recounted her experience of working on the film. Munn didn’t hold back when recalling Singer’s disappearance from the set of X-Men: Apocalypse, singling out the director’s lack of presence – a persistent problem that continued during production on Bohemian Rhapsody – as a notable example of men in the industry who “keep failing up”: “It’s the problem that I always had in this business, way before the #MeToo movement exposed so much,” she explained to…

Justice League Dark: Apocalypse War – Trailer and Release Date for DC Animated Movie

Since the title was announced for Justice League Dark: Apokalips War, the biggest question in some fans’ minds was “hang on, who now?” Justice League Dark, the team of magical heroes that includes Constantine, Zatanna, Swamp Thing and a rotating cast of lesser-known mystics, has always had a very specific lane and focus: the supernatural.

But the new trailer for the upcoming DC Animated feature sheds some new light on that puzzling “why:” because they’re all that’s left. Here’s…
