The Ghostbusters Post-Credit Sting Explained
We’re getting into SPOILER TERRITORY here so if you haven’t yet see the new Ghostbusters and don’t want the post-credit sting ruined, click away now.
SPOILERS AHEAD...
Right, so at the end of said credits, Lesley Jones’ character hears something on the equipment she’s using, and asks her fellow Ghostbusters ‘What’s Zuul?’
Here’s director Paul Feig to answer that question…
"From the original movie Zuul is the bad guy who controls all the doings that go on. It's such a great character we thought 'well it would be fun if you could do a sequel,' and who knows, to kind of have him in the mix?"
Zuul possessing Dana Barrett (Sigourney Weaver) in the original Ghostbusters.
A Game That Works on Unreleased Nintendo PlayStation
Super Boss Gaiden is a brand new game for the Super Nintendo, and it'll also work on the unreleased SNES PlayStation.
Last year some images surfaced claiming to be Sony and Nintendo's prototype SNES PlayStation. It was, of course, never released, but that doesn't mean you can't play Super Boss Gaiden on it.
According to Nintendo Life, Super Boss Gaiden is from Chrono Moogle and Dieter Lazer. It's a 16-bit platformer "with tight controls, humorous dialogue and challenging gameplay."

Jessica Jones #1 cover by David Mack
This new Jessica Jones solo series, which was originally called Alias when it launched under the adult-oriented Marvel MAX line in 2001, has been in the works for some time, even before her well-received TV debut on Netflix last year. Bendis was content to end Alias when it came to its natural conclusion in 2004, but as the Marvel Universe experienced one major event after another, like last year’s reality-altering Secret Wars, Bendis took note of what unsolved mysteries were falling through the cracks, storing them away for Jessica to one day solve. Now that day has come.

The Secret Life of Pets Opens Bigger Than Inside Out
Universal's new animated feature The Secret Life of Pets surpassed expectations this weekend at the North American box office, debuting in first place with $103.2 million.
As noted by THR, Illumination Entertainment's new family-friendly film surpassed Inside Out with the biggest all-time opening for an original animated feature, and is now the studio's second highest-grossing debut, just behind Minions' $115.7 million figure. When compared to all animated films, The Secret Life of Pets currently stands in sixth place.
This weekend also brought with it the debut of 20th Century Fox's new comedy Mike & Dave Need Wedding Dates, which placed fourth with $16.6 million. The film, which stars Zac Efron and Anna Kendrick, surpassed expectations off its $33 million production budget.
Preacher: Can Tulip Lure Jesse Back to His Old Life?
Having made an impression as the cool and calculated Raina – well, before her Inhuman transformation changed things for her -- on Agents of SHIELD, Ruth Negga has now made the leap into a very different comic book world with Preacher.
On the adaptation of the DC/Vertigo comic, Negga stars as Tulip, the former girlfriend of Jesse (Dominic Cooper), who is determined to lead him back into the criminal past he’s tried to leave behind. I spoke with Negga about her character’s amazing entrance in the first episode – which included a brutal fight inside a moving car and a homemade bazooka – along with what motivates Tulip and more.
IGN: You had such a cool entrance in the first episode. What did you think when you saw how they were bringing you in?
