Alex Winter Wants More ‘Bill & Ted’ and To Break Up Big Tech

Back in the days of Blockbuster and local video rental stores, there was always that one rack — the one packed with horror flicks with gory-looking covers that scared Eighties and Nineties kids witless. Now, that same vibe has come to Shudder in the form of Josh Forbes’ Destroy All Neighbors, starring none other than Eighties hero Alex Winter. Winter, star of 1989’s Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure and 1987’s The Lost Boys, has mostly been in his writer-director era for the last few decades — save for a recent…

Ted, the foul-mouthed animated star of Friday’s R-rated buddy comedy of the same name, may smoke more marijuana than “Family Guy’s” Peter Griffin, but the two sound awfully similar. Of course, both are voiced by writer-director Seth MacFarlane, so it’s easy to understand why they are so alike. Or is it? MacFarlane also voices “Family Guy’s” baby Stewie, the dog Brian, and the next-door neighbor Quagmire, and all three have completely different accents.MacFarlane said he tried to find a voice for Ted that would be…

Seth MacFarlane’s Teddy Bear Show Is Surprisingly Funny

Kids have always talked to their stuffed animals. In Ted, the bawdy teddy bear fantasy that has yielded two R-rated movies and now a new prequel series on Peacock, the furry beast talks back, often in a four-letter flourish, always with the delivery of some out-of-time Boston vaudevillian. He also hits the bong, throws back shots, drives drunk, watches porn, and generally behaves like a teenage troublemaker. Creator (and Ted voice) Seth MacFarlane clearly finds it all funny, having continually returned to this…

So why not take this opportunity talk about how Ted 2 totally changed on a dime during its development.Seth MacFarlane originally had a totally different sequel in mind, but…

No, Jason Sudeikis did not just confirm Ted Lasso season 4 but he and Brendan Hunt confirmed the writing team plan to get together…

Ted Lasso Star Jason Sudeikis just got the hopes of millions of fans up, only to dash them immediately.
