by Jonathan

Netflix’s ‘Punisher’ series finally arrived and it took no prisoners! I know that we’re a little late on this one but it doesn’t matter… because we don’t take prisoners either! Ian Kerner joins in to talk about Jon Bernthal’s take on the Punisher and how it stacks up against the competition. Nowhere is safe to hide as we ask all the questions! What does this mean for Daredevil, Luke Cage and the rest of the Netflix Marvel universe? Is this Microchip a better version than the comics? What about Ben Barnes and the rest of the cast? New characters, old characters… which pieces were adapted properly? And of course, what can you maybe expect in Punisher Season Two? There is a LOT to like in this series so listen in as we sift through the bodies and look for survivors!

Thank Arnold! HBO’s ‘Westworld’ Has Been Renewed For A Second Season!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: This is so exciting.

I don’t give myself much time to watch TV these days. Work, life, trying to start exercising, transiting, and more take up the bulk of my days.

That said, I’ve loved every second of HBO’s Westworld that I’ve been able to experience over the last couple of months. It’s beautiful, succinct, mysterious, and offers a world so interesting that I simply can’t get enough of it, and after not hearing and early renewal from HBO (as they often announced) I was a little worried that 10 episodes is all the Westworld we’d get.

Today, with a mysterious teaser on their official Facebook page, HBO revealed that Westworld has been renewed.

Fans of the show, however, will be waiting for quite some time once season one concludes next month. In an interview with EW, HBO’s programming president Casey Bloys noted that “My suspicion is sometime in 2018 because of how big the world is and what goes into shooting it. So I don’t have a date exactly – they’re going to have to map it out and write the scripts – but my guess is sometime in ‘18.”

2018 is better than never. What have you thought of Westworld thus far? Sound out below!

by Bigyanks

Production is officially in full swing on Marvel’s ‘The Punisher’ for Netflix.

Marvel has revealed three more cast members that will be joining Jon Bernthal in the series, Ben Barnes (The Chronicles of Narnia). Barnes who is slated to play Billy Russo, Frank’s Castle’s best friend from his days in the Special Forces who runs a successful private military corporation called “Anvil;” Ebon Moss-Bachrach (“Girls”) will play Micro, a former NSA analyst whose secrets may be of great value to Frank Castle and everyone around them; and Amber Rose Revah (Indian Summers, Son of God) joins as Dinah Madani; a highly-trained sophisticated Homeland Security agent who is vexed by the Punisher.

Netflix has set Steve Lightfoot (Hannibal) as showrunner on ‘The Punisher’, with Jim Chory and Marvel’s Jeph Loeb as executive producers.

‘The Punisher’ has already begun the early stages of production, though the series is not expected to premiere until at least 2018 after Marvel’s ‘Iron Fist’ and the crossover ‘Defenders’ series have taken their bow.

Take A Trip To ‘Westworld’ With This Brand New Trailer

by Shane O'Hare

The more we see about HBO’s upcoming series Westworld, the more I cannot wait for it to air. Check out the newest trailer below to see what I mean.

WESTWORLD is a dark odyssey about the dawn of artificial consciousness and the evolution of sin, exploring a world in which every human appetite, no matter how noble or depraved, can be indulged.

Based off the 1973 film of the same name, Westworld takes place in an amusement park of sorts. Attendees can come and indulge in all sorts of fantasies, set in the American Old West.

When the project was first announced, I took it upon myself to wrangle up a copy of the Michael Crichton original. I highly suggest the film to any Sci-Fi fan out there.

HBO’s Westworld airs October 2nd and stars Anthony Hopkins, Ed Harris, Evan Rachel Wood, James Marsden, Thandie Newton, Jeffrey Wright, Sidse Babett Knudsen, Rodrigo Santoro, Shannon Woodward, Ingrid Bolsø Berdal, Ben Barnes, Jimmi Simpson, Clifton Collins, Jr., Simon Quarterman and Angela Sarafyan.

by Shane O'Hare

Wow. Just wow. From the moment the teaser trailer for HBO’s 2016 show Westworld started I was hooked. No hyperbole here folks, I’m fucking sold.

The show stars Anthony Hopkins, Ed Harris, Evan Rachel Wood, James Marsden, Thandie Newton, Jeffrey Wright, Sidse Babett Knudsen, Rodrigo Santoro, Shannon Woodward, Ingrid Bolsø Berdal, Ben Barnes, Jimmi Simpson, Clifton Collins, Jr., Simon Quarterman and Angela Sarafyan.

Westworld is based off of the 1973 film of the same name, which just so happens to be Michael Crichtons first feature film.

HBO says their newest show is

A dark odyssey about the dawn of artificial consciousness and the future of sin.

Like I said up top there, I was instantly sold. The vibe I got right away really checked all my boxes and I cannot wait for this show to start.

Westworld airs on HBO sometime in 2016. BUT, you can get a first look at it TONIGHT just before the season two finale of True Detective.
