As they celebrate the 20th anniversary of their seminal album Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots, The Flaming Lips have announced a new vinyl EP called Hypnotist. The tiny-but-mighty collection is out June 16th, and compiles rarities from the Yoshimi era, which we first heard on the massive anniversary box set the band released last year.
The EP opens with a whopping 24-minute “Psychedelic Hypnotist Daydream,” which is long enough to be an EP in itself! But Side B also features demos of “Duck Dodgers Theme” and “I Know I’ve Got to Make That Dream the Real Thing,” as well as an instrumental of “Do You Realize??”
Pre-orders for Hypnotist EP are ongoing, available in an exclusive pink vinyl pressing. Below, you can watch a visualizer for “Psychedelic Hypnotist Daydream,” as well as a clip of frontman Wayne Coyne revisiting the original 4-track recording of the song. Then, keep scrolling...

“Scoob!” will be hitting theaters in some overseas markets despite skipping the North American box office in May due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Warner Bros. has confirmed the film will enjoy a combined theatrical release and premium VOD outing internationally — a strategy that was also recently employed by Universal, which plans to release animated feature “Trolls World Tour” in U.K. theaters when they reopen.
The global theatrical release for “Scoob!” will begin on July 8 in France, Holland and Switzerland, with additional countries rolling out over the summer. In France, which opened cinemas on June 22, theaters sold between 850,000 and 900,000 admissions through Sunday — down 50% from an average week in June, but still an impressive turnout given the severity of France’s Covid-19 outbreak and the evident confidence among audiences to return to cinemas.
Meanwhile, “Scoob!” will be available via PVOD from Wednesday in Australia and New Zealand.

About a month and a half after it made its debut online for premium video on demand, the animated film “Scoob!” will launch on HBO Max on June 26.
The animated “Scooby Doo” film debuted online on May 15 for $19.99 after its original June theatrical release date was scrapped. Warner Bros. hasn’t released digital box office numbers for how the kids movie has performed since its digital release, but it only makes sense that the new film could help draw eyes to the new streaming service, which launched shortly after “Scoob!” began its PVOD run.
The two seasons of the original animated series “Scooby-Doo, Where Are You?” are available now on HBO Max.

Riverdale season three just got even more interesting. During Comic-Con, creator Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa revealed that there would be a flashback episode in which the main cast would be playing younger versions of their parents. While Cole Sprouse and Lili Reinhart could easily pass for Skeet Ulrich and Mädchen Amick, we couldn't help but wonder who would play young Hiram. Well, it seems the show has found the perfect person for the role: Mark Consuelos's real-life son.
A post shared by Mark Consuelos (@instasuelos) on Jun 2, 2016 at 6:20pm Pdt
Entertainment Weekly recently confirmed that Consuelos's eldest son, Michael, will be playing a younger version of his character in the upcoming episode. We have to say, it's spot-on casting - the 21-year-old is the spitting image of his famous father. Though Michael has had a few voice roles on shows like Duck Dodgers and Go, Diego! Go!, Riverdale will be his first onscreen acting role.

A new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon is on its way to Nickelodeon, called Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and they recently announced the cast that will make up the team of ninja turtles.
Ben Schwartz has been cast as Leonardo. I greatly disliked Schwartz’s character Jean-Ralphio on Parks and Recreation, but that’s because he did such a great job, and while I normally wouldn’t like the idea of him being Leo, but it sounds like some changes are being made to the show to make it fresh. Leo is no longer the leader, but rather the cooler, rebellious brother while Raphael (voiced by Omar Miller) takes charge as leader. Donatello (voiced by Silicon Valley's Josh Brener) and still seems to be a techno-geek and Brandon Mychal Smith’s Michelangelo sounds like he’ll be the lovable Mikey we know.

Make no mistake – the box says Batman 3, but this is clearly the DC response to the Marvel Lego Super Heroes game from last year. With over 150 heroes and villains, an oncoming storm of Dlc, and a sweeping plotline, this is the biggest look at the Lego DC Universe yet.
The title says “Beyond Gotham” and they follow up straight away – the opening video features the six Lantern Corps that aren’t green. Sinestro, Star Sapphire, Saint Walker and Larfleeze start off bickering but are quickly defeated and put under the thrall of the game’s Big Bad, Brainiac. In only the opening levels of the game the narrative moves from an underground battle against Killer Croc to a outer space where Batman and Robin team up with fellow Justice Leaguers Flash, Cyborg and the Martian Manhunter.

The cast of Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham continues to grow, as Traveller’s Tales revealed that Stephen Amell, Conan O’Brien and Kevin Smith are lending their pipes to the title.
While not necessarily the biggest name of the three, the news of Stephen Amell coming to the game is sure to please fans of DC Comics. Currently starring as Oliver Queen on The CW’s Arrow, Amell will be reprising his role here.
Conan O’Brien and Kevin Smith, meanwhile, will be portraying themselves in the intergalactic adventure.

Being a fan of animation has been a mixed bag in the last twenty years. There have plenty of amazing shows produced in the Us, Japan, and France, among others, and the internet has made discovering and following new shows easier than ever. But the last twenty years have also been a frustrating time for fans and collectors—promising series have been cancelled after short runs, lack of advertisement for new shows and time slot shifts killing momentum for new shows, Western animation shifting toward more low cost comedies, the Japanese anime industry alienating most of the world in various ways, and rare, bizarrely scheduled Blu-Ray and DVD releases.
For animation fans, particularly collectors, the gold standard has shifted from DVD to Blu-Ray, thanks in part to everything animated in Japan being in HD for the past few years. While plenty of older material from Japan is getting remastered and released on Blu-Ray,...

Disney announced today that comedian Dane Cook will voice the lead character Dusty, ‘a plane with high hopes,’ in their animated Cars spin-off Planes. Jon Cryer (Two and a Half Men) originally had the lead voice role in the developing stages, but is reportedly replaced by Cook (Good Luck Chuck). Cook is best known for his distinctive style of edgy comedy with a casual attitude, but previously also did voice work in Farce of the Penguins, Mr. 3000, and an episode of the TV series, Duck Dodgers. Head honcho John Lasseter joined the new animated film as a producer. Directed by Disneytoon Studios vet Klay...

Clancy Brown, the quintessential voice of Lex Luthor, will walk the red carpet and take part in the post-screening panel discussion when Warner Bros. Home Entertainment and The Paley Center for Media present the World Premiere of Lego Batman: The Movie – DC Superheroes Unite in New York on February 11, 2013.

The Mondo Gallery opened in Austin, Texas during SXSW 2012, and with it came movie poster heaven. The theme for the gallery's opening event was science fiction. Some of the greatest artists in the world came with their designs for the best sci-fi movies of history. Movie posters for films like Star Trek II: The Wrath of Kahn got a reworking by artist Tyler Stout. Phantom City offered a creative take on the most famous image from Melies' A Trip to the Moon. Jason Edmiston's acrylic on wood panel of Flash Gordon's Ming the Merciless is a thing of sinister beauty. Even Duck Dodgers got his own poster from Tom Whalen. It's all one more move towards the Alamo Drafthouse taking over the movie geek world as we know it. Headed by creative director Justin Ishmael, Mondo Tees consistently presents fans of all things cinema with their own, unique brand...

I’ve been trying to make it through the Green Lantern DVD. I didn’t see it in the theaters – nobody I knew actually liked it, although to be fair few totally hated it. But when a close friend who happens to be in the intellectual property racket told me the best way to see it was to download a bootleg, I got dissuaded. So now ComicMix reports there’s an “extended cut” DVD out there. Hot damn! 360 seconds of more mud.
Bobby Greenberger, who writes under the name “Robert,” reviewed this dachshund a couple days ago and he did so with all the eloquence and joie de vivre one should expect from a comic book editor turned Star Trek writer turned politician. All I can say about his review is that I agree with his observations and, damn, he’s a lot more polite than I am.
Green Lantern deserves better than this.

Can Taylor Lautner bust out of the Twilight ‘Team Jacob’ quicksand and become an actual star? Lionsgate’s president of motion pictures seems to think so, and he already has plans for the up-and-coming action hero, with the first step being the new action thriller, Abduction.
Taylor Lautner is a textbook example that shows the sometimes bumpy road that an actor must travel on the way to becoming a star. From providing his voice for various animated shows (What’s New, Scooby-Doo?, Duck Dodgers) to starring in the kid-friendly Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl 3D, and then shooting into the spotlight in a major way as Jacob Black in the Twilight Saga franchise, Lautner is a long way from being an overnight success. However, his time to truly shine might have finally arrived in the form of his new film, Abduction.

There has to be some background for this column, or at least a little bit of story, just so readers can understand why I would be so excited about a particular book that I finally found in my favorite used bookstore a couple of weeks ago.
This whole thing really starts back when I was a tiny little starry-eyed sprocket. My mom and dad took me to dinner at a restaurant that just happened to have those square gumball machines that had a glass panel in the front and those plastic capsules with little toys or pieces of jewelry or other gewgaws sure to attract the attention of small children and make them beg endlessly to get something and relieve their parents of the horrible burden of all that change in their pockets. The machine that I was eying had a shiny holographic printed card in the front with stars...

Comic-Con International has released the full schedule for Sunday July 24th for San Diego Comic-Con 2011. This is the final day of the convention. Sunday is known as Kids day and is usually the slowest of all the days, there are a few surprises though. In all my years of going to Comic-Con I've never been to a panel in Hal H. Usually nothing is happening in Hall H on Sunday, this year there are a few TV programs going on in Hall H such a as Glee, Supernatural, Doctor Who, The Cleveland Show, Sons of Anarchy, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and this year Buffy the Musical will be in the great Hall as well. I've never been to the Buffy Musical event, and I think I finally want to go this year. A couple of other things worth noting are a one on one panel with Nathan Fillion, and Max Brooks talks about zombies.

If past years are any indication, Comic-Con will begin releasing its official 2011 panel schedule later today (Wednesday) with the schedule for Preview Night, Wednesday, July 20. If that happens then we can expect them to follow suit for the rest of the days, so that Thursday will see the release of the Thursday of Con schedule, etc., through Sunday.
Once the official schedules are posted these “TV and Movie Panels and Screenings Updates” will be scaled back to just the date, time, title, and location, since the rest of the information and So Much More (including comics panels, autograph signings, etc.) will be available on the Comic-Con schedule link we’ll provide. Consider this, then, the last of the extremely long posts, and hopefully we’ll be getting that official schedule soon.

The second update but absolutely not the last. We have yet to hear from the major networks, Syfy, TNT or USA about their panels. More to the point, we have yet to hear from Comic-Con, at least as to the official schedule.
As you may know, they resold the returned 4-day passes on Friday, and those sold out within a couple of hours. It likely only took that long because only a certain number of people could be purchasing at one time. Returned one day tickets will go on sale shortly; if you’re interested in attempting to be amongst the lucky few who will achieve tickets, you must be following Comic-Con on Twitter for the latest updates
Information added to this update includes Locke & Key, Dexter, Shameless, Homeland, Archer, Wilfred, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Sons of Anarchy, Shark Night 3D, Haywire, The Raven, Immortals, Thanks to THR...

Woo Hoo! Comic-Con 2011 info is really starting to flow! As a veteran attendee, one of the most exciting things I’ve seen are the blurbs that come out on the official schedule, being released early by studios! First out of the gate for that appears to be from Warner Bros. Television Group. The panel blurbs, along with the dates, times, and room numbers, have been released in a statement. For this post we scrapped the previous format in favor of Comic-Con’s format whenever that information is available. Here we go!

“Duck Dodgers,” for those of you unfamiliar, is the best kind of meta-television cartoon entertainment. Starring Daffy Duck and his eternal sidekick Porky Pig, the show aired on Cartoon Network from 2003 to 2006. Spun from an original 1953 Looney Toons short entitled “Duck Dodgers in the 24th ½ Century,” the series followed Daffy-as-superhero through a series of inept adventures across the galaxy. It’s a fantastic blend of classic cartoon elements and a hysterically contemporary sensibility. As you watch, you can just picture the creators having the time of their lives. This particular episode takes the spoofing to the next…...

Former professional wrestler, actor and voice actor, “Macho Man” Randy Savage, whose legal name is Randy Mario Poffo died in a car crash Friday in Florida at the age of 58. Police said he may have suffered a “medical event” before the accident.
Before Stone Cold said so, before you smelled what The Rock was cookin’, professional wrestling greats like Hulk Hogan and “Macho Man” Randy Savage graced the squared circle. The latter became equally synonymous with pro wrestling as the aforementioned Hulkamaniac in the 1980s, with his trademark sunglasses, flashy fringed robes and jackets and matching cowboy hats.
“Macho Man” Randy Savage was known for his raspy voice uttering his catch phrase “Ooh yeah!” at every turn. Later, Savage went on to become the spokesman for Slim Jim snack foods in the mid-to-late 90s, appending “Snap into a Slim Jim” to his already known catch phrase, “Oooh yeah!“. Despite many new marketing campaigns since then,...

Kevin Smith finished filming his mysterious horror film Red State last Wednesday. He finished editing it a few days later, according to his blog, and even screened the mostly finished film at the wrap party. Smith claims to have been editing the movie every day of filming: “I haven’t slept much.” To whet our appetites, Smith also released a teaser poster for the film, which features an eerie image and an eerier tagline: “Fear God.” Between Smith’s clear excitement about the project, the sure-to-be-controversial Christian-horror theme, and the dynamite cast (John Goodman, Melissa Leo, Kevin Pollak, and Anna Gunn,...

Previously we posted Fox's press release detailing the shows the network would be bringing to Comic Con (July 21-25), as well as details about the various panels. Today, Warner Brothers has announced the timing of its various panels and screenings. It looks like WB will be pushing its new CW show Nikita this year, with a special screening to be held on Wednesday, July 21 (otherwise known as "Preview Night"). I've seen Nikita (more on that in a future review) and the question is whether it's worth your time. Well, I liked the show. A lot, actually. So if you can attend the preview, then I don't think you'll be disappointed.
Meanwhile, we have details about the Fringe, Supernatural, Chuck and Smallville panels below, to name but a few.

Known to adults as Bender in Futurama and tweens as Dr. Drakken in Kim Possible, John Dimaggio takes an iconic step forward as the voice of The Joker, the pivotal villain in Batman: Under the Red Hood.
In the animated film, Batman faces his ultimate challenge as the mysterious Red Hood takes Gotham City by firestorm. One part vigilante, one part criminal kingpin, Red Hood begins cleaning up Gotham with the efficiency of Batman, but without following the same ethical code. And when The Joker falls in the balance between the two forces of justice, hard truths are revealed and old wounds are reopened.
Dimaggio gets free reign to play the iconic villain amidst a stellar voice cast that includes Bruce Greenwood (Star Trek) as the Caped Crusader, Supernatural star Jensen Ackles as Red Hood, and Neil Patrick Harris (How I Met Your Mother) as Nightwing.
