On Thanksgiving, it is tradition to stuff yourself silly and end the day loafing on the couch, watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade or a good ole’ football game. However this year, instead of arguing with the family over the current state of affairs - how about watching some good Thanksgiving TV episodes? For as long as sitcoms and television drama's have existed, there has always been the coveted "Thanksgiving Episode." Of course, some are more memorable than others.
Alien: Covenant Trailer Gets Prometheus Re-Cut
As if the first official Alien: Covenant movie trailer didn't have us hyped up enough already, a fan re-cut the trailer to take on the style of the prequel Prometheus.

Sure, exploring a new "paradise" sounds like a great time until a strange being pops out of what looked to be a plant and directly into your face.

Beyond -- the new bingeable show from Freeform -- will make your heart race faster than the speeding narrative itself.

When Holden and his best friend go out to watch a meteor shower late at night, he is involved in a bike accident that puts him in a coma for 12 long years.
How Disney Won In 2016
On December 19th 2016 Walt Disney Studios officially announced a film industry first - the company made over 7 billion dollars at the global box office in just one year. All five of Disney's film properties released extremely sucessful movies in 2016 - a first for the company. You're probably wondering how this happened and if it will keep happening in years to come.

Biggest Domestic Box Office Bombs of 2016
Just like we covered the biggest domestic box office smash hits of 2016, we fairly compiled a list of the years' biggest box office bombs. We really hoped that some of the films on this unfortunate list would have made it, especially Nine Lives. It's not every year that audiences get to see Kevin Spacey, an Oscar-winning actor, portray the cranky family feline under the spell of Chistopher Walken. However, not everyone thought the film was all the great.
Rogue One's Diego Luna Really Wants To Touch Jabba The Hutt
Diego Luna, who plays rebel pilot Cassian Andor in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, has made it clear that his dream is to touch Jabba The Hutt. We aren't quite sure why he wants to touch the most foul creature in the galaxy, but we should be good Star Wars fans and help make it happen.

Happy birthday, Michael Cudlitz! The actor best known for playing the role of Abraham in AMC's The Walking Dead is celebrating his 52nd birthday today. Cudlitz rose to fame with roles on Southland, Band of Brothers, and a part in Ana Lucia's backstory on LOST.

Biggest Domestic Box Office Movies of 2016
While 2016 was an extremely profitable year for a variety of films at the box office, that doesn't always mean that audiences loved the same exact films. Remember, just because movie has money-making power doesn't mean it's a good movie by industry standards. Although, it is usually a good indicator except when it comes to films as divisive as Suicide Squad and Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice. Both DC films were a huge success at the box office, but left some fans and critics a bit underwhelmed.
How Wonder Woman Won In 2016
The most popular superheroine -- who clearly won the entire year of 2016 -- is the beloved the Amazonian princess, Wonder Woman. Not only did Wonder Woman, an iconic pillar of strength, power, and courage make her first long-awaited debut on the big screen in Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, but her character was finally given the mainstream attention she deserves with the announcement of upcoming movies, comics, animated films, and the launch DC Super Hero Girls.
New Wonder Woman Photo Is Explosive
There is no question that Gal Gadot was the perfect casting choice to play the iconic role of Wonder Woman in DC Films.

Our jaws literally dropped to the ground at her beauty and strength and we instantly wanted to see more of the most powerful superheroine in the world.
Worst New TV Shows Of 2016
Every year, the race is on at TV upfronts for pilots to hopefully get picked up by network television and eventually hit the small screen. And every year there are total flops and total wins, among a long list of rejected pilots that never get picked up in the first place. The currently landscape of how television series are distributed and even made is continuing to change into a more cinematic approach, with 10 hour long "films" rather than episodic one-hour standalones.
This Stan Lee Cameo Supercut Video Is Amazing
There is no better way to celebrate Stan Lee's epic 94th Birthday than by watching this supercut video of almost all of his Marvel movie cameos. While Stan Lee is the man, the myth, and the legend behind Marvel Comics, his very first cameo was actually in Kevin Smith's early 90s indie movie Mallrats, which Lee claims to be his favorite part.

Why Gotham City Sirens Needs A Female Director
Gotham City Sirens is a comic book series less about the storylines and more about the diverse relationships between the main characters - Harley Quinn, Catwoman, and Poison Ivy. Turning it into a movie presents a perfect opportunity for a female director to work on a female-focused film about friendship, fighting evil, and more importantly, love. Honestly, one thing fans definately do not want is Suicide Squad: Girls Gone Wild.

Rogue One's K-2SO Gets C-3PO Actor's Approval
At one point or another we've all be annoyed by the overly worried and sometimes anxious Star Wars protocol droid C-3PO.

As far as we can tell, fans fell for K-2SO pretty hard, considering he did bring some comic relief to some of the films most intense scenes and most of his droid merch is sold out.
