This just in- Prime Video has renewed “The Boys” for a 5th season before a single episode of season 4 airs. This is unsurprising, as the show has continued to be a winner for the streamer.

We are very sorry to share the news that one of the absolute greats of cinema- yes, even as shlocky as these particular films could get- has passed away. With such titles like “Little Shop of Horrors,” 1960’s “House of Usher” starring Vincent Price, “Rock and Roll High School,” and “Death Race 2000,” the world would have been a much more boring place without the great Roger Corman.He wasn’t a young man, but, Corman was still working. Still producing and directing, writing, and planning his next feature. INCLUDING but not limited to a new take on “Little Shop” with “Gremlins”…
