We all know Trey Parker and Matt Stone from South Park, but what about all that came before it? Sure, some of us may have checked out Orgazmo to get an idea of what the boys were up to and maybe you even tracked down Cannibal! The Musical. But only the true die hard Parker and Stone fans have seen Your Studio and You. Styled after industrial movies of the 1950s – which would guide viewers through the process of any given corporation – Your Studio and You gives us a glimpse inside of Universal Studios…with exactly the sort of humor that fans would expect from Parker and Stone.

Released in 1995, Your Studio and You was a commissioned piece from David Zucker, who would go on to direct Trey Parker and Matt Stone’s BASEketball. Meant for internal studio use only, the 14-minute short begins by poking fun at “classic talking pictures” and “timeless masterpieces” like Howard the Duck, Ghost Dad and Major Payne, in addition to some of the studio’s other offerings, like their theme park.

It’s here that the wealth of cameos really goes into high gear, with none other than Steven Spielberg playing the skipper of the Jaws ride, practically begging riders to be terrified of the fake shark. Another great one comes from James Cameron, who is trying to maintain the grounds of the studio. Later on we even see Angela Lansbury giving the house from Psycho a fresh paint job. Oh, and who’s that? Why, that’s John Singleton on the set of his upcoming film Shut Your Honkey-Ass Mouth, Cracker Boy. Other famous faces that turn up include Michael J. Fox,  Demi Moore, the Zucker brothers, Traci Lords, and Sylvester Stallone, who promotes the studio’s welcoming environment by telling viewers, “You know, it’s good to be open to new talent ‘cause that way you’re open to new talent and stuff.” Thanks, Sly!

If you’re a fan of the team of Trey Parker and Matt Stone and have yet to check out Your Studio and You, we highly recommend you take the time to do so, as it hits every intended note and sticks the landing. And if you didn’t like this news article, maybe I’ll just add a porcelain deer!

As for future projects, Trey Parker and Matt Stone will return to feature-length directing for the first time in more than 20 years with a new live-action comedy set for a 2025 release.

What did you think of Trey Parker and Matt Stone’s Your Studio and You short? Had you seen it before?

I had a lot of expectations for the Knuckles live-action mini-series that, it turns out, might have been a bit too lofty. But I don’t think the expectation that the titular echidna voiced by Idris Elbawould be in a show with his name at the top was that outrageous. I’m sad to report that Knuckles is only around for a…

Of all the movies I saw teased at this year’s CinemaCon, the one that had distributors the most psyched was no doubt Deadpool and Wolverine. Many are thinking this will be Marvel’s first big hit since Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3, and last week, when I polled readers about which CinemaCon film they were most excited about, it was the clear winner. By a landslide actually, as it earned 40% of the vote compared to the runner-up, Alien: Romulus, which earned 13.47%. 

And now, with the film only a few months away from hitting theatres, Disney is on the cusp of releasing a brand-new trailer which should give fans their first look at the yellow-suited Wolverine in action. I’ve already seen this trailer, as they premiered it at CinemaCon (along with ten minutes of the movie which you can read about here), and fans are going to eat it up. While a whole day may seem like too long to wait, Disney is whetting your appetites with a new teaser, which you can see embedded above, which teases the reveal of Wolverine.

Apparently, the film is jampacked with cameos. Still, I must admit that the CinemaCon footage we saw was very carefully assembled so that it wouldn’t allow us journalists to spoil the cameos (which many of us would have no doubt done). Wild speculation has suggested Henry Cavill showing up as another Wolverine or Ben Affleck as Daredevil. I honestly have no idea, but I can promise you this – Deadpool and Wolverine IS NOT watered down and will be HARD-R. Hurrah!

Of course, we also know that the film stars Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool and Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, returning to the role seven years after Logan was presented as his retirement from playing the character.

Are you excited about tomorrow’s trailer drop? Let us know in the comments!

Zack Snyder’s Rebel Moon Part II: The Scargiver hit Netflix this weekend, and as expected, the film has become a lightning rod for controversy. Critics are hating it, while fans are more mixed (as were we). Many are simply waiting for the upcoming director’s cuts, which come out this summer. So, the time has come to take a look at all of Zack’s movies and put them up against each other. Which one do you think is the best?

The post Poll: What Is Zack Snyder’s Best Film? appeared first on JoBlo.

When you spend months upon months – even years upon years – developing a story, filming the screenplay, promoting the movie endlessly, and finally releasing it to the public, there is a special connection that is hard to put words to. But when you’re done, many filmmakers believe the movie is really no longer theirs (unless you’re releasing a director’s cut…). But imagine somebody else taking that ball and running with it. This is something that inevitably happens with comic book movies, as we’ve seen cycles and waves where characters and franchises will be rebooted. But Zack Snyder has been quite humble about it, even offering words of support to James Gunn ahead of his own Superman.

Responding to a fan on Threads about whether or not he heard that Zack Snyder is looking forward to his Superman, James Gunn wrote, “I didn’t, but I knew it already because he’s texted me. He’s been incredibly supportive throughout this process.” As for what Snyder said: “You know, I’m a pretty open book. I really feel like, you know, if the characters are treated with reverence, and mythologically correct, then I’m down. I’m in. Let’s see what happens. I’m pretty excited[…] I mean, we’re going to get Superman pretty soon, so we’ll see what that’s like.”

It’s pretty cool that Zack Snyder is encouraging Superman, especially so far ahead of its July 11th, 2025 release. It could be easy to be bitter or silent over somebody else taking over, but as DC heads into a fresh start, there’s really no point in that. As one man’s time passes – and that man focuses on a new world in Rebel Moon – it was inevitable that it would continue under someone else’s tutelage. It’s also nice to see some positive vibes coming from James Gunn, who seems to spend a lot of time swatting away rumors about the production, with everything from dreadful AI photo “leaks” to conspiracy theories about hidden plot secrets.

How do you think James Gunn’s Superman will stack up against any of Zack Snyder’s movies? Will you be checking it out when it hits theaters next year? Let us know in the comments section below.
