John Cena On the Firefly Funhouse Match and a Potential Return to the WWE

New DVD release, , , ,
For the first in a long time, there was no John Cena at Wrestlemania. Due to COVID-19 restrictions and his busy schedule filming the Peacemaker series for HBO Max, Cena was unable to partake in the WWE’s Showcase of the Immortals, sitting out Wrestlemania 37. Cena has appeared in 15 Wrestlemania matches, headlining the show five times and squaring off against legendary superstars like Shawn Michales, Triple H, Batista, The Undertaker, and The Rock. However, Cena’s last appearance on the Grandest Stage of Them All may have just been his very best. The COVID-19 pandemic caused 2020’s Wrestlemania 36 to…

“Why am I Watching This?” Firefly Lane and the Compulsion of Newness

Netflix, New DVD release, , ,
The weekend before last, I found myself bingeing the entire series of Firefly Lane. Not for work. Not because anybody asked me to. Just because it was new. The series has been trending on Netflix for some weeks now and it appears to be very popular with viewers – more so than with critics – which is great, and no disrespect to anyone who loves the show. However, I personally thought it was quite bad. This isn’t a review and I’m not here for a debate on the merits – we are living in a world in crisis so anything…

How Firefly Lane Depicts a Messy and Moving Female Friendship

New DVD release, , , , ,
This article contains spoilers for Firefly Lane. There’s something altogether predictable yet endearing about Firefly Lane, the latest in a line of Netflix shows adapted from the realm of romance and/or women’s fiction with a clear strength of star power at its center. It’s a story that spans three decades of friendship between two women who meet in their teenage years, following them through their strongest and lowest points in life (both together and apart) and all of the heartache, turmoil and drama that provides.  In short, it’s prime material to mine from, and seemingly tailor-made for the types of…

Firefly Lane and the Problem with Aging up and Down

New DVD release, ,
Stockard Channing was 33 when she played teenager Rizzo in Grease. Angelia Jolie was 29 when she played Colin Farrell’s mother in Alexander – only one year older than he was. Films and shows cast actors outside their own age all the time, and it’s not unusual for actors to be aged up or aged down when a show or film takes place over a long time period, but in Firefly Lane this really jars. Tully and Kate are best friends since the age of 14 back in 1974 – Firefly Lane follows the journey of the two, from young…

Alan Tudyk Recreates Iconic Firefly Scene as Star Wars Droid K-2SO

New DVD release, , , , ,
This article contains spoilers for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and Firefly Alan Tudyk is a busy, busy man. Just in the last couple of years he’s been the voice of Oliver Queen in Young Justice, The Joker in Harley Quinn and Dangerboat in The Tick, as well as appearing in front of the camera as Mr. Nobody in Doom Patrol and Gary in Santa Clarita Diet, but for many geeks, he’ll always be fondly remembered as Firefly‘s trustworthy pilot Wash, whose death in the series’ movie conclusion, Serenity, still stands as one of the most upsetting on-screen demises…
