As a big fan of detective shows, I’ve seen a lot of them go through ups and downs. Sometimes an episode just misses the mark, or a show slowly loses its spark.

As a huge Marvel fan, I remember when Guardians of the Galaxy came out in 2014 – it felt like a real risk for the studio. Most people just weren’t familiar with these characters before then!

With the current wave of streaming TV shows starting to finish, Paramount Pictures is talking about a new era for Star Trek at CinemaCon.

If they truly want to take the franchise in a bold, new direction, CEO David Ellison might want to reconsider a previous idea from Quentin Tarantino.
Even so, it’s important for fans to remember the many supernatural romance movies that came before Fourth Wing. These films essentially created the foundation for the book series, and the series can’t really compare to that history.

He even told Seth how he tried to get a part in Hellraiser: Hellseeker in 2002 – it’s cool to hear how dedicated he is to the genre.
