This week, the San Francisco Symphony will host two performance-screenings of the Stephen Spielberg classic film, Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Friday, March 1st, and Saturday, March 2nd, the world-famous symphony will be performing John Williams’ Oscar-nominated score live alongside a screening of the film with Joshua Gersen conducting. This is the latest in […]

Former DraonCon co-owner and co-founder Ed Kramer is back in the news once again. The former pop-culture convention mogul was arrested Tuesday by members of the Lawrenceville [Georgia] Police Department for allegedly photographing a 7-year old child at a local doctor’s office, and we have body-cam video of the arresting officers. An incident report indicated […]

Fighting With My Family, the new origin-story chronicling the real-life rise of Saraya-Jade Bevis to become WWE superstar Paige, is something entirely unexpected – a wonderful, well-performed, self-assured, success. Drawing a direct parallel to the film from professional wrestling isn’t entirely off-base: it tells a story that’s not entirely true (things are embellished and over-emphasized for […]

Bleeding Cool contributor Jimmy Leszczynski writes: The grass is green and growing, the birds are chirping and it has finally stopped raining in Southern California which can only mean one thing. The Comic Book/ Pop Culture Convention season is is getting ready to bloom for 2019. One of the first of the year is one […]

Sure, traditional superheroes have successfully  made the leap from comics to  the big screen, however when it comes to manga, the success rate has been more subdued.
