Get Your Paul Rudd Fix with the Trailer for DEATH OF A UNICORN

Death of a Unicorn movie poster

There are as many tales of unicorns as there are non-derivative names for Squishmallows in our universe. Tales of innocence and magic, bravery and, sadly, virgins leading the majestic creatures to their doom. But what if every day, modern people came across this fabled creature? 50 50 shot they'd call either a circus, museum, or pharmaceutical company in the next 30 minutes...you know..after the glow wore off.

Dumb and Dumber: The Animated Series on Digital Today

Dumb and Dumber Animated Series
On digital. DIGITAL!! Say it with me Warner Bros. We would very much like PHYSICAL copies of these releases, especially when it's something most of us never heard of and will likely never see again. Hell, kick in with NECA and add Dumb and Dumber Toony Toys figures to a boxed set with the DVD of the series! We are suckers for cartoons paired with toys...you must know this by now.

The Onion Gets a Serious Book About THE ONION

Funny Because It's True: How The Onion Created Modern American News Satire
In 1988, a band of University of Wisconsin–Madison undergrads and dropouts began publishing a free weekly newspaper with no editorial stance other than “You Are Dumb.” Just wanting to make a few bucks, they wound up becoming the bedrock of modern satire over the course of twenty years, changing the way we consume both our comedy and our news. The Onion served as a hilarious and brutally perceptive satire of the absurdity and horrors of late twentieth-century American life and grew into a global phenomenon. Now, for the first time, the full history of the publication is told by one of its original staffers, author and historian Christine Wenc. Through dozens of interviews, Wenc charts The Onion’s rise, its position as one of the first online humor sites, and the way it influenced television programs like The Daily Show and The Colbert Report. Funny Because It’s True peels back the layers to reveal how a group of young misfits from flyover country unintentionally created a cultural phenomenon.

SDCC 2024: STAR TREK: LOWER DECKS Ongoing Series Announced

IDW Publishing STAR TREK LOWER DECKS ongoing comic series 002
Announced at San Diego Comic-Con, IDW Publishing is incredibly proud to bring back STAR TREK: LOWER DECKS in an all-new ongoing series!  After earning a prestigious Eisner nomination for their work on STAR TREK: DAY OF BLOOD - SHAXS’ BEST DAY, writer Ryan North and artist Derek Charm reunite to kick off this can’t-miss comic ride featuring the beloved characters from the hit animated series.

This is a dream opportunity for the award-winning writer. “LOWER DECKS is my favorite STAR TREK, and I have seen every single STAR TREK there is to see, except for one episode I will never reveal,” commented North. “This raises the obvious question: will something in this comic contradict something that I missed in that one episode I never saw? Thankfully the answer is no, because the entire LOWER DECKS team - both at IDW and Paramount - has been so amazing - supportive, clever, brilliant. We're making a big funny heartfelt book with huge sci-fi ideas, important character developments, tons of that Trek flavor, and a bunch of jokes, too. If you love LOWER DECKS, you'll love this comic!
