The “Arrow” and “The Flash” did panels at this years PaleyFest in Los Angeles this past Saturday. I’ve included both presentations below in case you missed the live streaming. But what you won’t see in the panels are the sizzle reels with new scenes for upcoming episodes that the live audience got to see.
I know this is a little late, but on February 15 “The Simpsons” did a “Jetsons” parody right after their opening credits for the episode “My Fare Lady.” Strangely, it was if they had two opening credit sequences. I would have made this their main one in a different episode. But in any case, I found it very amusing. I love the “Futurama” reference (with Bender) at the end.
A new trailer for the fifth season of HBO’s Game of Thrones has just landed. Lasting almost 1:40, it shows an impressive array of scenes from this upcoming season. A new poster for this season has also been released.
Thor himself, Chris Hemsworth, hosted last nights (March 7th) edition of SNL. He was actually pretty good though I found the show this week mostly laugh free. And even though you knew it was coming, they went ahead and did an “Avengers: Age of Ultron” parody. I really didn’t find it very funny at all. The best part was a line by Bruce Banner (Pete Davidson) when he said “I think I ate a guy.”
Well, they did it. The show “Community” made it to season 6. And although network TV kicked them off, something called Yahoo! Screen showed them a little love. Now maybe we’ll get that MOVIE they promised us.
If you haven’t heard by now, Warner Brothers is making a “Supergirl” live action show for the CBS Network. Melissa Benoist (Glee, Whiplash) stars as everyone’s favorite female Kryptonian (and Superman’s Cousin) Kara Zor-El.
AMC has released a bunch of cast photos and a trailer for the final return of its popular show “Mad Men.” This final batch of 7 episodes will wrap up the series and hopefully answer the one question that everyone has been asking for years… did Don Draper get chlamydia from all of the women he’s slept with over the course of the show. I look forward to that answer and all the others when the show returns on April 5.
HBO has just release their almost 30 minute Behind the Scenes Special on the Making of “Game of Thrones” Season 5. It covers a lot of ground and really makes you appreciate the folks who work their butts off behind the camera. And you also get a good idea why we only get 10 episodes a year. They are filming basically a 10 hour movie. And that takes lots and lots of time.
The full version of the Season 5 Trailer for “Game of Thrones” unveiled onto IMAX screens the other day. HBO then quickly released it online (due to many bootleg versions rearing their ugly heads). So here it is (the good quality version).
Last night, “The Hobbit’s” Martin Freeman hosted Saturday Night Live. There were definitely some funny moments during the show (which has improved as of late), but the best segment out of the bunch was the filmed spoof “The Office: Middle Earth” combining both his “Office” and “Hobbit” persona. And I gotta say, they pretty much nailed it. It also made me realize how much I miss the British “Office.” I may have to go back and rewatch it now.
