Watch the New Trailer for Stranger Things Season 3
The first full trailer for Stranger Things Season 3 has finally arrived and, thankfully, it features a ton of new footage to scrutinize, break down, and wildly theorize about.
We already know that Season 3 will take place in the summer of 1985, coinciding with the opening of the long-awaited Starcourt Mall that was hinted at in the season's first teaser trailer.
Not only do we get a better look at the mall in the new trailer (plus Steve Harrington's dorky new job), we also see the discontent that its arrival has brought to Hawkins, with many members of the town protesting its opening.

New Disney Website Banner Suggests Fox Lost The Simpsons
A new banner image at the top of the Walt Disney Company website suggests that Disney has acquired The Simpsons as part of the 21st Century Fox acquisition deal. This goes against Fox’s previously stated intentions to keep ownership of the show.
The banner, which is comprised of 14 images featuring a mix of Disney and Fox properties, displays Bart Simpson side-by-side with Captain Marvel. Such imagery suggests that the rights to Fox’s long-running flagship cartoon show, The Simpsons, now lies with Disney.
Such a suggestion is in direct opposition with a statement of intent from Fox CEO Dana Walden, who explained back in August 2018 that there were no plans for The Simpsons to go anywhere other than the Fox network.
Rumor: GoT Showrunners’ Star Wars Films to Be Set in The Old Republic
A new rumor has suggested that the upcoming series of Star Wars films by Game of Thrones showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss will take place during the Old Republic era.

The Flash Proves the Arrowverse Has a Speed Problem
Note: you'll notice we didn't run a review for tonight's Flash episode. We're trying something a little different with this week's coverage, so let us know in the comments what you think.
Also, beware of spoilers ahead for The Flash Season 5, Episode 17!
There's a lot to like about this week's installment of The Flash, "Time Bomb." This episode provides the momentum boost the series has desperately needed since the mid-season premiere, pushing forward the Cicada storyline and finally forcing Barry and Iris to confront the fact that their daughter has been working with Eobard Thawne from the very beginning. At long last, this season's ongoing Cicada conflict seems to be living up to its potential.

Christopher Nolan has landed on BlacKkKlansman's John David Washington to be the lead in his upcoming film, reported by Variety.
