Cinderella was always one of my favorite Disney films (my brothers nickname was Gus Gus) and I’m looking forward to the live action version hitting theaters next month.
Here’s the latest (and likely final) trailer where we get to see Cinderella (Lily James), her wicked step-mother (Cate Blanchett), fairy godmother (Helena Bonham Carter), and one of our favorite Stark’s as Prince Charming (Richard Madden).
Let us know what you think of the trailer. Will you be in the audience on March 13?

The art book is titled Mad Max: Fury Road: Inspired Artists and will contain artwork based on the film by over 65 different artists as well as commentary from creator/director George Miller.
The first prequel comic is titled Mad Max: Fury Road: Nux & Immortan Joe #1. This character-centric comic shows the rise of The Immortan Joe (played by Hugh Keays-Byrne), and Nux (Nicholas Hoult), one of the Immortan’s “War Boys”.

Mehcad Brooks (“Eggs” from True Blood) has been cast as Jimmy Olsen in the upcoming CBS series Supergirl. Olsen will serve as a love interest for the titular character, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
That’s right, CBS is creating a Supergirl series!! With so much Marvel television, and other spec-fic movie news, I completely missed it until reading this announcement.
The series follows Kara Zor-El, cousin of Superman, who also escaped the destruction of their homeworld Krypton.
Kara (played by Glee and Whiplash breakout Melissa Benoist) was raised by a foster family on earth, who taught her to hide her super powers. Now 24, an unexpected disaster forces her to use her extraordinary abilities in public and Kara begins embracing her powers to help the people of her city.
Kara meets Jimmy Olsen at CatCo., where they both work (he’s a photographer, naturally). She is attracted to his salt of the earth demeanor and rugged good looks. Olsen has recently been living and working in National City for (at least for now) unknown reasons and the two grow closer as her powers are revealed.
I’m not really a comic book guy, so I didn’t know the traditional origin story of Supergirl, but I’m guessing most fans will immediately recognize this as a huge departure from comic book canon. Here’s a synopsis from Screen Rant:
The continuity changes and reboots Supergirl has undergone since her introduction in 1959 have led to a variety of versions, but most in the modern age have stuck to a short list of details. Kara Zor-El was a teenager when her cousin, Kal, was sent to Earth by his Kryptonian parents. Kara managed to escape as well, but for one reason or another, arrived on Earth years behind, finding Kal a full-grown man (and superhero).
It then falls to Kal to help his cousin control her newfound powers until she can adopt a ‘Super’ mantle of her own -and a secret identity along with it (a story played out on Smallville already). But going by the apparent synopsis, that isn’t part of the new show’s identity at all.
None of the details coming out so far make mention of Superman taking any part in this new series.
It will set you back $350 bones, but the LEGO S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier has a lot to offer – and not just the 2,996 parts! The new play set will officially be revealed next month at the Toy Fair in New York.
The Helicarrier is over two and a half feet long (31 inches), 11 inches high, and 17 inches wide. It includes 12 microfigures to keep the dual runways and bridge running, microscale fighter jets, Quinjets, and ground support vehicles. But that’s not all!
The set also includes five S.H.I.E.L.D. minifigures: Nick Fury, Black Widow, Captain America, Hawkeye, and the debut of Maria Hill in mini form.
This LEGO release is not related to the upcoming Avengers: Age of Ultron movie, rather the original 2012 movie.
As an aside, who ever thought we’d be linking to a Wall Street Journal article?!

After moving hosting accounts, updating software, configuring software, re-configuring software and re-re-configuring software – it seems that everything is working the way it’s supposed to.
That’s the good news.
The bad news is that the Beyond The Wall and Consumption feeds have both puked pretty much all of our episodes into the feeds. In the short term, this just means that you may have seen a bunch of old episodes show up like they’re new (or your podcatcher may have actually downloaded them all). Behind the scenes some statistics may be donked up. Overall not a big deal.
In the long term, this shouldn’t impact anything at all. Moving forward, all episodes should post the way they’re supposed to and there shouldn’t be any more episode dumps.
I’m really sorry about this. It’s been a long time since I’ve had a dump like this from somebody’s feed, and it’s always annoying.
We bring you the long awaited Season 4 wrap-up.
At 9 pm Eastern on Wednesday, January 21st, Nutty, Christiana, Chooch, and Viv discussed Season 4 of HBO’s Game of Thrones.
We discussed episodes 9 and 10 of Season 4 coming to IMAX theaters. Chooch and Viv have tickets, and Christiana and Nutty are going to check availability near them – perhaps we’ll do a mini-review of the experience. Not to mention the full Season 5 trailer being revealed at those showings!

Our Season 4 wrap up is up on YouTube for those who missed the live broadcast. I should have the audio in the podcast feed later today.
At 9 pm Eastern on Wednesday, June 18th, Nutty, P.G., Chooch, and Viv discussed \\The Children,\\ episode 10 of season 4 of HBO’s Game of Thrones. Christiana stowed away on that ship with Arya bound for Braavos, but I had her notes so I did my best to simulate our normal “P.G. you’re wrong and this is why!” banter as if she was there!
Yes, we went 3 1/2 hours. And we could have talked for another couple if my dog hadn’t needed to pee so badly. We hope you enjoy it!

At 9 pm Eastern on Wednesday, June 4th, Nutty, P.G., Chooch and Christiana discussed \\The Mountain and and The Viper,\\ episode 8 of season 4 of HBO’s Game of Thrones. Most of us loved the episode… but of course I had my complaints. Listen, and see if you think I’m as silly as Christiana did!
