"Dexter" Cancellation spells TROUBLE for 
Alex Kurtzman’s STAR TREK - Here's Why!
Season 2 of the Dexter Prequel "Original Sin” just got cancelled by Showtime, Paramount and Skydance; despite already having been given the greenlight several months ago, as they want to focus on flagship series Dexter Resurrection starring Michael C. Hall … and that should worry Alex Kurtzman and his iteration of Star Trek - because his Starfleet Academy series could be on the chopping block next. Let's visit the latest rumors from behind the scenes...

Disney Trying to Bring Back the Male Audience...

"Boys Have Turned Away From Disney Brand,"
Variety Says! Oh, Say It Ain't SO!

After years of transforming male franchises into female ones, Disney is now looking to bring the very boys they had spent years rejecting back to the brand. The problem is, now the boys they rejected are rejecting THEM, as Variety magazine has acknowledged it in a new article... GEE, whoever could have seen this COMING folks?!?
DISNEY IS DESPERATE TO BRING BACK MEN!
Disney wants Gen Z MEN to come back to their franchises, and are seemingly admitting that they know they killed off Star Wars and Marvel by making them too female-friendly. They're so desperate they're even looking for NEW franchises -- but they had the two biggest male brands in all of geekdom and they destroyed them in less than a decade!

Disney SETTLES! She's RETURNING to Star Wars?!

Woke Narnia ain't happenin'...

Netflix DROPS Woke Agenda?!
Narnia Gender Bending Sends DELAYS to Production?!
In this version of Narnia, actress Meryl Streep is cast to play Aslan, who in the books, is a male lion and a symbol of Christianity. This gender-bending swap is typical in woke activism, and the way the public views wokeness nowadays negatively, will affect the box office outcome of any movie. The production is considering a change to their film, hopefully following the creator's original intent. But we shall see...

How True this is Today...

If I Were the Devil
by Paul Harvey - Original 1965 Broadcast
Mr. Paul Harvey was was an American radio broadcaster for ABC News Radio. He broadcast News and Comment on mornings and mid-days on weekdays and at noon on Saturdays and also his famous The Rest of the Story segments. From 1951 to 2008, his programs reached as many as 24 million people per week. Paul Harvey News was carried on 1,200 radio stations, on 400 American Forces Network stations, and in 300 newspapers.

In 1965, Mr. Paul Harvey broadcast "If I Were the Devil." Although it has been over a half a century since the broadcast, Mr. Harvey's words describe our current times well. Mr. Harvey recorded this in 1965. 
If I were the Prince of Darkness, I'd want to engulf the whole world in darkness, and I’d have a third of it's real estate, and four-fifths of it's population, but I wouldn't be happy until I had seized the ripest apple on the tree – thee. So I'd set about however necessary to take over the United States. I’d subvert the churches first. I'd begin with a campaign of whispers with the wisdom of a serpent. I would whisper to you as I whispered to Eve, "Do as you please." To the young I would whisper that the Bible is a myth. I would convince them that man created God instead of the other way around. I would confide that what's bad is good and what's good is square. And the old, I would teach to pray after me, "Our Father – which art in Washington." And then I'd get organized. I'd educate authors in how to make Lurid literature exciting so that anything else would appear dull and uninteresting. I'd threaten TV with dirtier movies and vice versa. I'd peddle narcotics to whom I could. I’d sell alcohol to ladies and gentlemen of distinction. I’d tranquilize the rest with pills. If I were the Devil I'd soon have families at war with themselves, churches at war with themselves, and nations at war with themselves, until each in it’s turn was consumed. And with promises of higher ratings, I'd have mesmerizing media fanning the flames. If I were the Devil I would encourage schools to refine young intellects, but neglect to discipline emotions, just let those run wild until before you knew it you'd have to have drug sniffing dogs and metal detectors at every schoolhouse door. Within a decade I'd have prisons overflowing. I’d have judges promoting pornography. Soon I could evict God from the courthouse, then from the schoolhouse, and then from the houses of congress. And in His own churches I would substitute psychology for religion and deify science. I would lure priests and pastors into misusing boys and girls and church money. If I were the Devil I'd make the symbol of Easter an egg, and the symbol of Christmas a bottle. If I were the Devil I would take from those who have and give to those who wanted until I had killed the incentive of the ambitious. What will you bet I could get whole states to promote gambling as the way to get rich. I would caution against extremes, in hard work, in patriotism, in moral conduct. I would convince the young that marriage is old fashioned, that swinging is more fun, that what you see on TV is the way to be. And thus, I could undress you in public and I could lure you into bed with diseases for which there is no cure. In other words, if I were the Devil... 

I'd just keep right on doing what he's doing.

Netflix is making a 'Woke' version of Narnia...

Netflix Narnia GENDER SWAPS Aslan?!
Narnia Fans are FURIOUS!

The "reimagined" feminist Narnia from Greta Gerwig is reportedly casting Meryl Streep as Aslan and Narnia fans are NOT happy. Greta Gerwig plans to gender-swap Aslan, a key Christian allegory character, into a female role in Netflix's Narnia adaptation, sparking outrage among fans. The Netflix Narnia adaptation is criticized as a potential feminist manifesto that may alienate Christian fans and desecrate the original work's religious themes. Gerwig's involvement is controversial due to her feminist ideology and history of "weird" projects like Barbie and Snow White, raising concerns about faithfulness to C.S. Lewis's vision. Fans view the proposed changes as a deliberate attack on the Christian symbolism central to the Narnia series, potentially erasing its spiritual message. The adaptation risks losing its core audience by prioritizing modern ideological agendas over the original narrative's religious and moral foundations. Gerwig's approach may fundamentally alter the power dynamics and theological underpinnings of Narnia, potentially compromising its essence as a Christian allegory.

DEI is Dying at Amazon Studios...

Amazon FIRED the Lord of the Rings Boss!
No More Woke Diversity! No Female 007?!
Amazon kicked the boss of Amazon Studios to the curb after the failure of The Rings of Power. The word is she wanted to make 007 a "diverse woman" and that was the straw that broke the camel's back with Jeff Bezos and friends.

K.K. Strikes Back!


"Kathleen Kennedy gave a VERY lengthy interview to Deadline where she denied the rumor of retirement started by Puck...and then made a stunning admission that contradicted what she had just said! Meanwhile, my Hollywood Agents have new alleged info from a high level source about what prompted this leak from Puck! Here's what I was told!"   - Doomcock
Somehow... K.K. Returned
Nothing has caused as much excitement within the Star Wars community for years as the prospect of Kathleen Kennedy leaving both Disney and Lucasfilm - however, since news of her retirement were scooped by Matthew Belloni of Puck fame, Kennedy may very well stay longer ... just to win control over the narrative surrounding her eventual departure...

"Let the Past Die. Kill It If You Have To..."

Hollywood Establishment in UPROAR over DEI pushback
With properties like Star Wars and Marvel, Hollywood has gone all in on divisive policies and messaging of the last few years, all of which has been rejected by the audience, and now, the world is shifting under their feet, with more and more companies rejecting DEI and Facebook Meta even ditching fact checks. Let’s see the butt-hurt in the reporting!
Is this The Beginning of the End of the Woke Agenda?

Is Section 31 the Worst Trek EVAR?

Actor Publicly Freaks Out as Rumors Begin to Fly
Star Trek Section 31 is "not the Trek fans want" according to actor Rob Kazinsky who publicly confessed he's "terrified" by how fans are going to react to this latest series from Secret Hideout. Was this public confession damage control from Paramount, or maneuvering behind the scenes by Skydance? Here's what Kazinsky said, along with some allegations leaked by a long-time source from behind the scenes, but from what I'm hearing folks, as strange as it seems, Section 31 may well be the WORSTEST Star Trek EVAR!

What the heck is happening over at Lucasfilm?

The Rey Star Wars Movie Got Kicked in the NADS?!
Lucasfilm employees are unable to keep their mouths shut about politics, with their director of cinematography deleting his account after making comments about Trump voters being disgusting. Disney's handling of Star Wars has been criticized for bias and polarization, with Kathleen Kennedy pushing a female narrative in a way that screams patriarchy. The sequel trilogy failed to deliver on the promise of Han, Luke, and Leia together, with The Force Awakens attracting fans for that reason alone. The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett are the only successful Star Wars projects under Disney, while other shows have been met with low viewership and disgust. The sequel trilogy's failure is attributed to Disney's interference and Kathleen Kennedy's decisions, which have damaged the franchise and alienated a significant portion of the audience. The Star Wars franchise has lost its soul since being sold to corporations, with Disney's handling being particularly damaging, according to creator George Lucas.
