Masters of the Universe – HE-MAN 2026 Trailer is out now!

We finally have the trailer for Masters of the Universe, the HE-MAN movie. This is something my 1980’s heart cant wait to see, because really it is our childhood cartoon come to life.  Yes, theres been movies made in the past but lets be real with todays technology those are campy.  Hopefully this trailer isnt a highlight reel of the whole movie and is just a clip of what we can expect.

MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE, Director Travis Knight brings the legendary franchise back to the big screen in this epic live-action adventure. After being separated for 15 years, the Sword of Power leads Prince Adam (Nicholas Galitzine) back to Eternia where he discovers his home shattered under the fiendish rule of Skeletor (Jared Leto). To save his family and his world, Adam must join forces with his closest allies, Teela (Camila Mendes) and Duncan/Man-At-Arms (Idris Elba), and embrace his true destiny as He-Man — the most powerful man in the universe.

Black Friday and Holiday 2024

Black Friday and Holiday 2024

First up this holiday season we have the TCL 65-Inch Q65 QLED 4K UHD Smart TV with Google TV (65Q651G, 2024 Model) Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, HDR Pro+, Game Accelerator Enhanced Gaming. https://amzn.to/3VcNCz2

I’ve owned multiple TCL TVs for years and if you’re on the fence between 75 [https://amzn.to/4fQZsaC] or 65 bigger is always better since theres no way to upgrade later and with the same specs on the TV you cant go wrong. Sunday football is a must on this beast of a TV. Enhanced gaming mode is pretty awesome on any PS5 even playing Fortnite.

If you really want to OWN a movie theater in the house… this is a DEAL coming in on a major sale of 47% off at just under $1600 https://amzn.to/3CQIRFd

TCL 98-Inch Q65 QLED 4K UHD Smart TV with Google TV (98Q651G, 2024 Model) Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, HDR Pro+, Game Accelerator Enhanced Gaming — YESSSSSSSS 98″ thats crazy!

Ray-Ban Meta Smart Sun Glasses are a pretty hot topic of conversation, yes the cameras are a cute gimmick (its not an iphone or samsung and certainly not a DSLR but that just a perk… Its really about sound which is pretty good especially for not being IN your ears but around them – still leaving your ears open if youre riding a bike or needing to watch the kids at a playground and need to hear whats going on. Two sizes Regular and  Large, which  is great for us bigger guys. Gotta check them out at a store or just go with this great deal of 20% off but there an opt-in coupon that gives you an extra $90 digital redeem at amazon (target is doing a similar deal too). https://amzn.to/4g7Ss90
One of the horrible things about flat screen TVs is they’re never the sound you really want for movies or even video games, its fine for morning news and a few sitcoms but if you really want to step up your TV sound game… you need a soundbar.

Sound systems have come along way in a very short period of time… I’ve had TCL soundbars for years with the 8+ [https://amzn.to/4g9vqyp] I was super excited TCL created this update last year with a full 5.1 system [https://amzn.to/412HltE]….  This year they added the TCL Q85H Q Class 7.1.4 Channel Sound Bar with Dolby Atmos, DTS:X with a black friday deal of 29% off right now https://amzn.to/418m7dF

Are you over the plastic coffee pods? I know my wife is… shes got her sights set on theBreville BES870XL Espresso Machine after trying a cup of coffee from my Brother-in-law’s machine earlier this year.  There’s nothing thats going to beat FRESHLY ground beans in your morning coffee… its got a nice black friday deal of 27% off its list price https://amzn.to/418htwz

I will give fair warning its not just a set it and forget it machine, you’re activity watching the beans ground up, pressing the stamper to have the hot water drip down and into your cup.  You do need to clean it all the time, but if you want coffee that tastes like art work vs a push of a button this might be the prize for you.

Superman & Lois: The Complete First Season is flying into homes now

Superman & Lois: The Complete First Season is flying into homes now

Superman saves the world, and saves his family when Superman & Lois: The Complete First Season releases on Blu-ray and DVD on October 19, 2021 from Warner Bros. Home Entertainment. Featuring never-before-seen extended versions of all 15 action-packed episodes from the first season, plus hours of bonus content. You can grab the complete first season on blu-ray now on amazon.

For me this show is all about the Family dynamics… the best episodes are the ones with Clark teaching his son the responsibility of the powers. As a father I cant relate to being superman but I can relate to the challenges of raising teenage son, or any child – what do you talk to them about, what do you keep hidden from their views to protect them.  If you’re not all about the Super family drama dont worry theres a couple of great story lines in this season.  Some out of this world fight scenes and epic special effects.

Superman & Lois stars Tyler Hoechlin (Supergirl, Arrow), Elizabeth Tulloch (Supergirl, Grimm), Jordan Elsass (Little Fires Everywhere), Alex Garfin (New Amsterdam), Erik Valdez (Graceland), Inde Navarrette (13 Reasons Why), Wolé Parks (All American), Adam Rayner (Tyrant), with Dylan Walsh (Blue Bloods), and Emmanuelle Chriqui (Entourage).

Smallville: The Complete Series 20th Anniversary Edition is coming out on Blu-ray for the first time ever.

Smallville: The Complete Series 20th Anniversary Edition includes 2 DVD discs with over 28 hours of bonus features originally released on the Smallville Seasons 1-10 DVD sets.  You’ll find the DVD set at any number of retailers and on amazon. Most importantly for the FIRST TIME EVER ON BLU-RAY. Featuring All 218 Episodes from the Iconic Series.

I loved this series growing up, it was a great spin on the original Superboy (back when that was Superman before well he was Superman) mythology. Even with the hard rule no tights and no flights the show still highlighted a teenage Clark coming into his super powers.

Smallville was a groundbreaking, Emmy winning 10-season hit that redefined the origins of the world’s greatest super hero is all here – from Krypton refugee Kal-El’s arrival on Earth through his tumultuous teen years to Clark Kent’s final steps toward embracing his destiny as the Man of Steel. Relive a decade’s worth of thrills in fantastic adventures full of action, heart and humor in abundance, all anchored by the marvelous performance of Tom Welling at its center. Savor again the series’ thoughtful and imaginative integration and reinvention of the iconic characters of DC lore. And let your spirits be lifted up, up and away.

Starring Tom Welling as “Clark Kent,” Allison Mack as “Chloe Sullivan,” Kristin Kreuk as “Lana Lang,” Michael Rosenbaum as “Lex Luthor,” John Glover as “Lionel Luthor,” Erica Durance as “Lois Lane,” Annette O’Toole as “Martha Kent,” John Schneider as “Jonathan Kent,” Justin Hartley as “Oliver Queen,” Sam Jones III as “Pete Ross,” Cassidy Freeman as “Tess Mercer,” Aaron Ashmore as “Jimmy Olsen,” Eric Johnson as “Whitney Fordman,” Laura Vandervoort as “Kara,” Callum Blue as “Zod,” Jensen Ackles as “Jason Teague” and Sam Witwer as “Davis Bloome,” Smallville has also featured many notable guest stars but most importantly had featured Christopher Reeve multiple times.

If you happened to see #DCFanDome this weekend you got to see #Smallville 20th Anniversary Celebration featuring a conversation with Tom Welling and Michael Rosenbaum. The full conversation with even more behind the scenes stories can be viewed at: https://youtu.be/W6IyPPkoRLY

Keeping the family connect with holiday offers for Verizon’s FiOS Home & Mobile Services

Thanks to Verizon for sponsoring this post about keeping the family connected during the holidays.

2020 its been some year… actually pretty crazy year for our family personally, lots of family moving to different states (most of it not because of the pandemic) but its been a year of differences. Like many families seeing family and friends have been challenging (if not completely nonexistent).  Thankfully 2020 offers us a ton of technology to keep us connected.

Each of us has screen times issues these days but if thats the only way to stay social and connect outside of our homes, pods, inner circle friends. Marc has been on video games chatting away for hours with friends that he’s knows from school and some he’s met online playing the games (thats a much larger conversation for another time). Harper and Harlow facetime with family, and for Mother’s day we got the facebook portal and have been connecting with their GG (great grandmother – Ma) once a in a while to check-in.

All while we’re working remotely, learning remotely, and streaming the entire Netflix. HBO Max library… so having incredible internet speed is everything to us.  I think my last count was 30 devices are usually connected to our wifi at any given time… being able to watch TV without buffering is a pretty important issue for the adults, and also a 5 year old who watches all of those Ryan’s surprise egg videos.

We’ve been a FiOS Home for years and we love it. We’ve really never had major outages (which is a major change from our last internet provider) and never impacted by the weather. This holiday season Verizon has you covered with some incredible deals. This holiday season the deals are better than ever, get rewarded when you combine your Verizon mobile and Fios Home Internet Plans. For new customers, save $30/month with select plans* when you get both within 30 days of each other. Plus, get $10/month** to put toward your next hone or tablet.

From Oscar-winning director Robert Zemeckis (“Forrest Gump”) comes the fantasy adventure “Roald Dahl’s The Witches.”  The film stars Oscar winners Anne Hathaway (“Les Misérable,” “Ocean’s 8”) and Octavia Spencer (“The Help,” “The Shape of Water”), Oscar nominee Stanley Tucci (“The Hunger Games” films, “The Lovely Bones”), with Kristin Chenoweth (TV’s “Glee” and “BoJack Horseman”) and award-winning comedy legend Chris Rock.  Newcomer Jahzir Kadeem Bruno (TV’s “Atlanta”) also stars, alongside Codie-Lei Eastick (“Holmes & Watson”).

Reimagining Dahl’s beloved story for a modern audience, Zemeckis’s visually innovative film tells the darkly humorous and heartwarming tale of a young orphaned boy (Bruno) who, in late 1967, goes to live with his loving Grandma (Spencer) in the rural Alabama town of Demopolis.  As the boy and his grandmother encounter some deceptively glamorous but thoroughly diabolical witches, she wisely whisks our young hero away to an opulent seaside resort.  Regrettably, they arrive at precisely the same time that the world’s Grand High Witch (Hathaway) has gathered her fellow cronies from around the globe—undercover—to carry out her nefarious plans.

Based on the book by Roald Dahl, the screenplay is by Robert Zemeckis & Kenya Barris (TV’s “black-ish,” “Shaft”) and Oscar winner Guillermo del Toro (“The Shape of Water”).  Zemeckis is also producing, alongside Jack Rapke, del Toro, Alfonso Cuarón and Luke Kelly.  Serving as executive producers are Jacqueline Levine, Marianne Jenkins, Michael Siegel, Gideon Simeloff and Cate Adams.

Zemeckis’s behind-the-scenes team includes a roster of his frequent collaborators, including Oscar-nominated director of photography Don Burgess (“Forrest Gump”), production designer Gary Freeman, editors Jeremiah O’Driscoll and Ryan Chan, Oscar-nominated costume designer Joanna Johnston (“Allied,” “Lincoln”), and Oscar-nominated composer Alan Silvestri (“Polar Express,” “Forrest Gump”).

Giveaway: Ends 10/31/2020 at 11:59PM PT. Open to US residents only, must be age 18+. Prize provided by Warner Bros.
