July 2, 2020 | Kevin

MTV has been reviving a lot of it’s past recently with throwback content, Bevies & Butthead getting a reboot on a different channel, and today comes the news that an animated series from 2003 that developed a cult following is getting new life. ‘Clone High’, a wickedly funny show that saw famous names and historical figures cloned as horny emotional teenagers. AV Club confirmed Abraham Lincoln, Cleopatra, Joan of Arc, and John F. Kennedy will be in the resurrected show. 

Clone High’s creators Phil Lord, Chris Miller, and Bill Lawrence went on to success after the show’s single original season, working the ‘Lego’ films’ and the recent smash hit ‘Spider-Man: Into the Spider Verse’. They come into 2020 with a greater acceptance of out-there animated shows like ‘Rick & Morty’, so we got to expect some real fun with this reboot. 

Nicktendo did an a retrospective video about ‘Clone High’ and how it left such an enduring mark on people who wanted see the common coming-of-age tale thrown into a blender with history. Oh, also if you are fan of ‘Scrubs’ watch this to see how it weaves in Easter eggs from CH.

Rooftops back in business for Cubs games

July 2, 2020 | JVO

When baseball returns to Wrigley, the rooftops around the park will be open, though at 25% capacity. The Chicago Tribune quoted the GM of a rooftop venue as saying the city has greenlit operations, but with safety restrictions in place.

Mayor Lightfoot said in a statement, “As the rooftop patios overlooking Wrigley Field are also restaurants and taverns, they are included in this overarching guidance and must operate within the guidelines established by the city in coordination with public health guidance.”

Rooftop tickets will likely go on sale once the Cubs schedule is released, which is expected soon. The Ricketts family owns the majority of the area rooftops.

Upcoming ‘Falcon & Winter Soldier’ series on Disney+ looks great

June 30, 2020 | Kevin

Disney+ continues to make waves in streaming TV and now more details have been revealed about one of their anticipated Marvel series on with Anthony Mackie, who has long played Falcon in the MCU saying the upcoming ‘Falcon & Winter Soldier’ series is going for a movie-level vibe. The series will debut in August.

“We’re shooting it exactly like a movie,” he said in Variety’s ‘Actors on Actors’. “Everybody who had worked on TV before was like, ‘I’ve never worked on a TV show like this.’ The way in which we were shooting, it feels exactly like we were shooting the movie cut up into the show. So instead of a two-hour movie, a six or eight-hour movie.”

Now that’s what I am talking about! There have been plenty of good Marvel series on Netflix but as they make the jump to their new platform with Disney, it’s  relief to hear the new wave of shows could meet the lofty expectations that the MCU has created now on the small screen.

You can watch Mackie’s chat with Daveed Diggs who stars in TNT’s ‘Snowpiercer’ here.
