The TV Series: "The Adventures of Sam & Max: Freelance Police"

The Pitch: It all started with "Fish Police." Fans of 1990s cult television may recall "Fish Police" as one of the stranger, failed animated shows of its era. In 1985, comic book artist Steve Moncuse created an unusual sendup of film noir, set underwater and populated entirely by anthropomorphic sea creatures; think "Law & Order: Bikini Bottom." The comic book was enough of an underground hit to eventually warrant a high-profile TV adaptation in 1992, produced by Hanna-Barbera Studios, and starring John Ritter, Tim Curry, Buddy Hackett, Héctor Elizondo, and Ed Asner. The show's theme was written by James Horner, whose work has been attached to countless movies...

The first teaser for Season 5 of ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ dropped Thursday, featuring a chilling cover of Christina Aguilera’s “Fighter.” The season premieres on Sept. 14 on Hulu, with new episodes each Wednesday.

In Season 5, Elisabeth Moss’ June faces consequences for killing Commander Waterford as she simultaneously attempts to redefine her identity and purpose. Serena, now widowed, is trying to raise her profile in Canada while Gilead’s influence makes its way to Canada.

Alongside Moss, the series also stars Bradley Whitford, Yvonne Strahovski, Max Minghella, O-t Fagbenle, Samira Wiley, Ann Dowd, Madeline Brewer, Amanda Brugel and Sam Jaeger.

The film is directed by Paul Tanter, who previously directed “The Rise & Fall of a White Collar Hooligan,” about an unemployed soccer fan who becomes a credit card fraudster and gangster. He eventually followed this up with two sequels.

"You are witnessing history today." XLrator Media has debuted a trailer for an indie action movie titled Kill Ratio, which looks like another formulaic action flick. The plot involves an American covert operative who becomes the one man who can save an entire country when a "ruthless military leader" attempts a coup. Tom Hopper (from "Black Sails", "Merlin" and Knights of Badassdom) stars, with Lacy Moore, Amy Huberman, Nick Dunning, Conor Hegarty, Brian McGuinness and Michelle Lehane. This looks particularly cheesy, especially considering it's another action movie that takes place inside of one building. The sword fight at the end nearly made me roll my eyes. I'm not expecting much from this, but who knows. Here's the first official trailer (+ poster) for Paul Tanter's Kill Ratio, direct from YouTube: An attack on the new President of a fledgling Eastern European democracy pits an American covert operative (Tom Hopper) against...
