John Boyega to Reprise Finn in Rey Movie?
Following John Boyega’s softening towards Star Wars and the announcement of a new film starring Rey, John Rocha, host of the podcast The Hot Mic, has heard from sources that Boyega may be the male lead of the movie. On this week’s episode of the entertainment podcast, Jeff Sneider filled in some details about the […]
Damon Lindelof Is Writing a Star Wars Movie
Deadline has confirmed rumors that Damon Lindelof is working on a Star Wars movie. He’s co-writing the script, but his collaborator is unknown at this time. Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy (Ms. Marvel) has been tapped to direct. The script is still being written, so production hasn’t begun yet. I didn’t watch Ms. Marvel, and the only thing […]
REVIEW: Watchmen – Season 1, Episode 9, “See How They Fly”

Unfortunately, it’s a Watchmen story, and it retcons parts of the Alan Moore/Dave Gibbons comic book that Damon Lindelof claims he so reveres to fit its narrative. Stilted dialogue, obvious commentary […]
