Just Another Friday Night

If Marvel and DC are the big 2 and Superman and Spidey represent them then Image Comics is certainly number 3 and representing them would most certainly be Todd McFarlanes’ 1992 creation SPAWN. The story of government assassin Al Simmons and his deal with the devil that made him into Hellspawn caught the eye of HBO Animation in the late 90s. Tonight we take a look at season 1 so turn out your ligh...

As Jim Morrison from The Doors sings “This is the end, my only friend, the end…” it got us thinking on this particular October evening…What’s scarier than the apocalypse itself? Not the X-Men villain, though En Sabah Nur is pretty terrifying. We’re talking about the end of times and the dystopian aftermath! Think Mad Max, The Walking Dead, The Book Eli, The Road, The Terminator, The Matrix. What h...

Tonight’s episode is dedicated to the memory of our friend Classy Thomas Clarke aka SpongeBob SquareBalls. About a month ago we lost our friend and, in many ways, a big part of our heart. He was Collecting Weekly family but also a Just Another Friday Night alumni so that made him our family too. We miss him and we will never forget him. Tonight, we discuss The Last of Us season 2 and boy was it a...

Andor IS back! The latest from Disney+ and Star Wars is the highly anticipated follow up season to the critically acclaimed original. Disney+ has told us that this is the final season of Andor and it makes sense as we are roughly 4 years out from the events of the Battle of Yavin.

On April 1 we lost American acting icon, Val Kilmer. We grew up watching him and to Us he’s one of the best to ever do it. He truly left his mark on film and he’s one we won’t ever forget. Roles like Doc Holliday, Jim Morrison, Iceman - are just a few of the iconic characters Kilmer came to embody. There are so many other roles to talk about though. Tonight, we want to celebrate the life and caree...

Cobra Kai Never Dies! But all things must come to an end and that time has come for one of our favorite shows COBRA KAI! The time has come to bow and say goodbye to Johnny, Daniel, Miguel, Tory, Robbie, Sam, Hawk and all the rest! This show has been a journey and while we’re sad to see it go - it truly got the sendoff it deserved, and it couldn’t have been more poetic. Spoilers ahead! No mercy!!!

Cap is back! With Anthony Mackie taking up the shield for his first time leading his own Marvel feature film.
