Among Us’ TV Show Grabs a Stacked Voice Cast

Image: InnerslothLast year, CBS Studios revealed it was adapting the hit social deduction game Among Us into an animated TV show from Infinity Train’s Owen Dennis. Odd as it was—and still is—you had to wonder who’d end up voicing the little crewmates at the heart of it all. And like plenty of other animated TV shows these days, there’s some pretty well-known actors lending their talents to this thing.Making the Freddy Fazbear Pizza Band Come to Life for Five Nights at Freddy’sLeading the voice cast for the series is

After Funko Gutted It, Mondo’s Creatives Are Back to Save Pop Culture Art Again

Among movie fans, it’s commonplace to hear someone call a slickly designed, artist-forward movie poster a “Mondo poster.” That’s because the company Mondo was long at the forefront of the pop culture art wave. Last year, though, that wave crashed when Mondo’s new owner, Funko, gutted much of the company’s talent. Now, that’s about to change or, more specifically, mutate. Alex Winter on the Most Important Modern Horror Movie Several members of the original Mondo team who were let go after Funko bought the company have now…

AMC Reverses Boneheaded Plan to Charge Different Prices for Seats

The company launched a price upcharge at select theaters earlier this year, charging customers more money for “preferred” seating.“Dungeons & Dragons is My Nerdy Obsession” | First FandomsAt the time, AMC said preferred seats would be located in the middle of the theater, costing customers a “slight premium” fee in contrast to its least costly “value” tier for seats in

One of the best things about movies is how they can become a part of your life. How you can fall so deeply in love with one that watching it is almost like a blanket: something warm and comfortable that makes you feel good. And that’s especially true of films that came out in your formative years and stuck with you all the way through adulthood. In 1998, a movie about an asteroid hitting the Earth did that for me. I saw it, loved it, bought it on DVD, watched it a million times, and anytime it’s on TV, which it is…

Wood, who played Frodo Baggins in the original Lord of the
