Westworld III

Genre Drama | Mystery | Sci-Fi

Cast Evan Rachel Wood, Jeffrey Wright, Ed Harris, Aaron Paul

Rating TV-MA

Series Premiere March 15th, 2020 9:00 PM EST (HBO)

“Set at the intersection of the near future and the reimagined past, explore a world in which every human appetite can be indulged without consequence.”

One thing is for sure, HBO’s sci-fi drama series Westworld is absolutely epic in every way. This show is incredibly written, expertly acted, and includes one of the most impressive scores in television today, and season 3 (or III as they are calling it) looks to yet again throw a wrench into the “what we thought we knew” conversation. Most notably the new season brings in Breaking Bad’s Aaron Paul in what seems to be a starring role according to the trailer, and we now have a glimpse of what the world is like outside the walls of the park. I know people are upset that Game of Thrones is now over, but I simply cannot wait for Westworld III to release on March 15th. Check out the official trailer below!!

Ted Takes Fun Facts, HBO’s Westworld:

• Ben Barnes (Logan) broke his foot before arriving to the first day of shooting. Being afraid of losing the job, he didn't tell anyone, and just used the limp to look like a character choice. He then had to maintain the limp throughout filming.

• The quote "These violent delights have violent ends" is from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.

From director Peter Berg, the man behind Lone Survivor, Patriots Day, and Mile 22, Spenser Confidential is a crime drama that follows an en ex-felon named Spenser who returns to Boston's criminal underworld to unravel a twisted murder conspiracy. Really glad to see Black Panther actor Winston Duke who continues to get more work, I thought he was great in the CBS drama series Person of Interest. Check out the official trailer for Spenser Confidential below!!

Ted Takes Fun Facts, Spenser Confidential:

• Yet another collaboration for director Peter Berg and actor Mark Wahlberg, they previously worked together on Lone Survivor, Deepwater Horizon, Patriots Day, and Mile 22.

Resident Evil Resistance is a co-op game that pits players against the horrors created by the Umbrella Corporation, while another player controls the monsters.

Modern Warfare 2: Remastered

“The more things change, the more they stay the same. Boundaries shift, new players step in, but power always finds a place to rest its head.”

— General Shepherd, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

What is it? There are a lot of things with Modern Warfare in the title these days, and it helps to be specific. This is a remaster of the original Modern Warfare 2 campaign, sold as a standalone purchase. Unlike the original Modern Warfare remaster, it will not have a multiplayer mode, according to various leaks.

This is different from what we assume will be Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, the sequel to the reboot series we started last year, and which is likely still more than a year away.

When did it release? Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Campaign Remastered is out on March 31, 2020, on PS4. It will come to Xbox One and PC on April 30.

Hollywood's New Obsession, What Is Quibi?

There's a hot new app rolling out April 6th and everyone in Hollywood is talking about it. The entertainment world is buzzing about Quibi, a potentially major disruptor in streaming television, that aims to be the first app to actually make short-form TV and movies into a lasting medium on your phone. Steven Spielberg himself announced that he was on board to produce and write a series, and he's not the only big name Quibi has attracted. But what IS this exciting new app that's generated $1 billion in funding, and why should we all be so excited about it?

You ain't seen nothing like this. Nothing like this before. Coming to a phone near you April 6. More from Quibi: https://www.quibi.com/ https://www.instagram...

What is Quibi?

Quibi is a streaming service for short-form entertainment, founded by Jeffrey Katzenberg, who was the chairman of Disney during its animation renaissance in the 1990s, and Meg Whitman, also a former Disney exec, who has also been in charge of DreamWorks, Procter & Gamble, Hasbro, eBay, and Hewlett Packard. It markets itself as a new form of content consumption, creating "snackable" series and films each told via multiple short chapters. It's not available yet, but has recently been making headlines for attracting big names in Hollywood, from Jason Blum, Steven Soderbergh, Chrissy Teigen, and a bunch more people, to produce and star in these quick hits.

What does Quibi mean?

"Quibi" stands for "quick bites" -- that is, very, very short-form content that is easily consumable in one sitting -- made to "fit perfectly into any moment of your day," as the website tells us. It's the future the digital age promised! Whole shows designed just for millennials and their notoriously short attention spans. Am I wrong?

When will it launch?

It's set to launch on April 6, 2020, and it has two payment tiers: $4.99 with short ads, and $7.99 without them. This makes Quibi a big competitor of Apple TV+, also priced at $4.99 per month, and the likes of Netflix or Disney+, whose cheapest tiers are still not as cheap as $5.

How can I use it?

It's designed to be mobile-only -- that is, on your phones and tablets and that's it -- for the foreseeable future. At first Katzenberg and Whitman said they'd try a "mobile-first" approach with a TV component later on, but it looks like they're sticking to an app format. To do this, they've been hiring people from Instagram and Snapchat -- two apps that have pioneered short-form story content across their platforms through IGTV and Snap Originals. Quibi's chief product officer is Tom Conrad, formerly Snap's VP of product. (One of its series in production is a Social Network-style show about the creation of Snapchat.)

The mobile-only format allows Quibi to experiment with form: It will support both horizontal and vertical video and allow its users to switch between the two in the same video. Producers have also considered vertical video formats, which would make some shots look like the video and FaceTime you get on a smartphone screen (see below example).

Horror Streaming Service Shudder FREE for 30 Days

The reality is that most of us are going to be spending a whole lot of time indoors for at least the next 30 days, whether we like it or not. Also, it is the smart thing to do. The coronavirus pandemic is no joke, and avoiding unnecessary trips out of the house can go a long way when it comes to mitigating the spread. If you don’t have to leave, don’t leave. Simple.

While we’re all stuck at home, horror streaming service Shudder wants to help us use our time more productively by offering an extended 30 DAY FREE TRIAL to new members, which is available now.

Try Shudder free for 30 days with promo code: SHUTIN

Plans beyond that free 30 day trial start at $4.75/month, and you can cancel anytime.

With movies being pulled from release, productions being shut down and movie theaters closing up shop for several weeks and possibly even months, on-demand streaming is going to become an essential means to help us keep our sanity while enjoying some great content. And for horror fans specifically, there’s really no better streaming service to sign up for than Shudder.

To get you started, here are a handful of now-streaming titles I can personally recommend including Mayhem starring Steven Yeun, better known as The Walking Dead’s fan favorite character Glen:

• Mayhem (Preview & Trailer)

• Prevenge (Preview & Trailer)

• Mandy (Preview & Trailer)

• The Head Hunter

• Dog Soldiers

• Train to Busan

• Smoke and Mirrors: The Story of Tom Savini

• The Furies

• Bliss

• “Channel Zero: The Dream Door”

• “Eli Roth’s History of Horror”

• Horror Noire: A History of Black Horror

• The Taking of Deborah Logan

• Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon

• The Void (Preview & Trailer) The Void (Spoiler-Free Review)

• Revenge (Preview & Trailer)

• Audition

• One Cut of the Dead

• Incident in a Ghostland

Movie theaters may be closed, but digital streaming isn’t going anywhere. Take comfort in that and use this free time to kick back and watch horror movies. We’ll get through this together.

We’re not planning on going anywhere either. Stay strong, stay safe, and stay smart!
