DC’s Joker has been through the ringer ever since making his debut more than 80 years ago. Even on the small and big screens, the character has encountered his share of adventures, exploits and sheer menace. And it’s all about to evolve like never before. Many have argued that 2019’s Joker should have been a standalone film, but even those who welcomed a sequel never would have anticipated that it would be a musical. But that’s just where Folie à Deux will next take the Clown Prince of Crime. So, where else have Todd Phillips and Joaquin Phoenix envisioned Arthur Fleck?
Todd Phillips and Joaquin Phoenix were so enamored with Joker that they immediately started kicking around ideas for a sequel on the set of the first one. As Phillips told Empire, “Joaquin and I talked about another one the whole time while we were making the first movie, just because we love the character. We were obsessed with Arthur. We would almost joke about it: ‘Oh, we should take Arthur and we should do this.’”
As Phoenix tells it, he took the sequel ideas to an extreme, imagining Joker invading other well-known films, which doesn’t seem all that out of the realm of possibility since Joker imagines the character in the worlds of both Taxi Driver and The King of Comedy. “I had a curiosity about going further with the character. It felt like you could put him into almost any situation, and I would be interested to see how he would navigate it. I mocked up all of these posters of films that have already been made, like Rosemary’s Baby and Godfather, and I put Joker in them and I gave them to Todd. There was a running joke of, ‘What about Joker in space?’ But yeah, I was fascinated by where he would end up.”
Joker: Folie à Deuxdances its way to theaters on October 4th after its premiere at the Venice Film Festival, where the first Joker won the prestigious Golden Lion in 2019.
Are you looking forward to this fall’s Joker sequel? Where do you see the character going after that? Put on a happy face and let us know below!
Game Informer, the longest running gaming magazine in the U.S., is officially dead and GameStop killed it. It began publishing in 1991 and has been one of the last remaining physical gaming magazines in the world, with cover stories that continued to share deep dives and exclusive interviews on the biggest games…
The Olympics seem unbelievably cool this year. Everywhere you look, there’s another great narrative being spun from the Games, such as Simone Biles and the U.S gymnastics team’s very funny beef with a former team member who tried (and failed) to talk shit about them before they took gold. But perhaps no sport at this…

What happens when you watch something described as barely watchable especially when the original narrative it was based on was termed as “awful” by its own author? Hi, I’m Niki, and this is The Tommyknockers for Horror TV Shows We Miss.
I’m sure we have quite a few Stephen King fans among our viewers so it will be interesting to see what even the most hardcore of you think. Do we agree with King, the critics, and maybe most of humanity? Or is there something here that we’ve been missing? This is not the worst adaptation I’ve ever seen– at least not yet. The first part started off slow for me, and even though I wanted to bail at certain points I stayed. It may have been my love for Butch, or Gard’s drunken intrusive thoughts, or the complete and utter fever dream that this presents as. Let’s be honest here for a sec, it is well known that this book was written when King was still in the throws of stardust. I mean, he says himself that there’s a really good book underneath all the sort of spurious energy that cocaine provides and it should have been about 350 pages, not 700. Watching the miniseries, you can see in a variety of ways where allegories of usage are beaming through but that’s not uncharacteristic for King.
The 90s were the time to adapt any of Stephen King’s works into a series, miniseries, or movie. I know I mention my mom a lot, but if it wasn’t for her love of Horror, King or otherwise, we wouldn’t be here chatting about this. Growing up was either 80s slashers or King/Anne Rice adaptations. This particular one though…not so much. There were a few, or more issues with production that may have contributed. Filming was moved to New Zealand due to seasonality issues, as it needed to be completed between October and May. It’s no secret that screenwriter Laurence D. Cohen, who also adapted Carrie and IT, took some liberties with the original material, including changing the ending. Some argue that the book is simply better than Cohen’s edits, which were made to make the story more palatable for audiences. Adding to the drama, the director was changed in the first week of filming from Lewis Teague—known for other King adaptations like Cujo and Cat’s Eye—to John Power, because Teague wasn’t moving fast enough. Or at least, that’s the tale that’s been told. Oh, and there might have been a minor hiccup involving 180 pounds of flammable chemicals and a less-than-amused Singaporean government.
Kinda sounds like the production of The Tommyknockers had more twists and turns than one of King’s own novels. With all that behind-the-scenes chaos, you’d expect the on-screen story to be equally wild and it absolutely is.
Now, time to board the spacecraft and journey to the beloved and bizarre state of Maine—or at least the version Stephen King conjured up for his amusement. Let’s dive into the parts of the miniseries and see how it all unfolds.
Breakdown:
Part One: Part one introduces us to Bobbi Anderson, played by Marg Helgenberger, a writer with a serious case of curiosity. While wandering in her part of the woods, she uncovers a strange metallic object that looks a lot like the aggro crag. As she digs deeper (literally and figuratively), the object starts to take hold over her and many other folks in town. People start inventing weird, yet helpful gadgets, and everyone seems to be getting a little too comfortable with the idea of telekinesis.
We also meet Jim Gardener, played by Jimmy Smits, Bobbi’s boyfriend and an alcoholic poet with a skeptical mind. Gard is like the Scully to her Mulder, becoming increasingly concerned about the strange happenings in Haven as he pieces together the bizarre occurrences. The pace of the first half is a little slow, a little all over the place, but we do get some decent interactions with all of our characters.
The first part culminates in a bizarrely patriotic group singing of the national anthem, lead by Sheriff Ruth Merill played by Joanna Cassidy who I will watch in anything, right before a fireworks show that disperses green energy over everyone. Because what’s more American than alien mind control and pyrotechnics?
Fave Moments: The trip to the vet. It’s small town Maine, you expect to see basically just dogs and cats. Perhaps livestock but usually they are not sitting around in the waiting room. In this instance it goes from zero to chaotic: dog, OWL, parakeet, cobra, alligator on a leash, monitor lizard.
Any moment with Butch merely existing.
Gard’s drunken antics at the conference. Not only does he bring the room to its knees with a deeply romantic and eloquent poem disguised as a new one—no one knows, it’s cool. The women are swooning, couples are holding hands, and it’s a melty love fest. Naturally, his manager figures it out and insults him, pushing him to drink more. He then rightfully checks one of the more uppity patrons for being insensitive, and in a final flourish, tries to shoo them away with an umbrella. Jimmy Smits really nails the mix of charm and chaos in this scene.
Mustache doll. Ruth takes the children into the police station’s doll room, which is already a sentence on its own. As she’s doing some show-and-tell with the dolls, one kid starts having a panic attack. The scene cuts to show several of the dolls in rapid succession. While they are all very unique, the mustache doll screams ‘backstory needed.’
Gardner asks Bobbi, “What are you on?” and she replies, “Euphoria. A miracle.” Gardner nailed it, yet somehow he still buys into it. A classic case of men trying to rationalize the irrational. In The Tommyknockers, where energy stones give handyman advice and telekinesis becomes a casual skill, I guess intuition can take on a whole new meaning. It’s why men usually die in these situations.
Even though it’s not a fave scene, I do have to say something about the calm and not seemingly alarmed approach that Davey’s parents take after he goes missing. I would lose my shit.
Part Two: Bobbi becomes more obsessed with unearthing the spacecraft, drawing the townspeople further into its influence. Gard starts piecing together the bizarre occurrences, realizing the extent of the alien hold over Haven. The townspeople’s inventions grow more unsettling, and strange behaviors become the new norm. Tensions rise as Gard tries to save Bobbi and the town from the alien force. What was the energy coming from? A whole ass spaceship underneath the ground.
As the eerie energy spreads and the townspeople’s behavior and appearances become increasingly bizarre, it’s hard not to see the deeper allegories at play. King’s story seems to reflect two possible underlying scenarios. The first allegory is the hold that substance abuse may have had on King. Sure, it can make you more creative, but it can also turn you into a shell of your former self. Just as the townspeople become increasingly controlled and altered by the spacecraft’s power, King might have been drawing a parallel to his own experiences, showing how something from the outside can take over your life, making you lose control and your sense of self.
The second possible allegory taps into that fear of the unknown and the idea that something strange could be lurking just beneath the surface of our everyday lives. In today’s world, with 24/7 news cycles and misinformation spreading even faster, people are more vulnerable to unseen influences, if you will. The miniseries shows how a small town can be easily swayed and transformed by something alien and mysterious, reminding us that even the most peaceful communities aren’t safe from unexpected disruptions. It’s a stark reminder that in a world full of noise, it’s hard to know what’s real and what isn’t.
Fave Moments: Death by Coke machine! Not exactly how I wanted my favorite character to go, aside from Gard. But hey, it’s pretty unforgettable and hardcore. After countless battles with the machine, it finally gets the best of him
Traci Lords, Traci Lords, Traci Lords. Take your pick of scenes. She becomes increasingly unhinged as the green energy takes hold, eventually becoming the muscle of the group. Watching her is one of the most fun parts—she takes what she’s given and runs with it, making her performance both entertaining and memorable.
Robert Carradine is adorable, but him trying to be hard as fuck is kind of hilarious. I realize that’s likely the intention so the casting is pretty spot on then. The part where he says, “Piece of cake” then zaps himself into oblivion kills me every time.
Am I weird if I like the effects here? Yes, it’s all very Alien-esque, but we’re still in the practical age.
Gard– what a fucking hero, right? Sacrifices himself for his lady and the whole damn town. We even got Davey back though his Dad is a different story…
There should be a section for the outrageous lines in this miniseries. They’re the perfect blend of good and cringey—like they add to the charm while making you wince at the same time. It’s part of the experience.
Where to Watch:
It’s out on there for your viewing pleasure. Any time I give out where I find something the powers that be have to ruin it. You can get it for pretty cheap on Amazon, ebay, and several other online merchants. I even see VHS copies floating around if you’re part of that club, which I proudly am. Because nothing says nostalgia like tracking down an old miniseries on a clunky tape.
The Aftermath:
You remember how we started this? Yeah, it wasn’t a massive hit. People weren’t buzzing about it at work the next day. But you know what? I bet plenty of you snuck to the TV late at night to catch it. Pesky kids, always finding a way.
The Tommyknockers is that bizarre blend of sci-fi and small-town life gone wrong, kind of like crafting a xenomorph out of cicada shells. Strange, unsettling, and somehow fascinating all at once.
Despite its flaws, it taps into that unsettling curiosity about the unknown and the weird lurking beneath the surface of ordinary life. There’s a certain charm in Stephen King’s ability to blend the mundane with the supernatural, even if the execution doesn’t always hit the mark.
The Tommyknockers is a moderate train wreck that somehow manages to be entertaining enough for a repeat viewing. It’s like junk food for the brain—questionable, but oddly satisfying.
For those who caught it as kids, it holds a special, nostalgic place in their memories. Maybe it’s not King’s finest adaptation, but it has its own quirky appeal that keeps people coming back. It didn’t achieve the same acclaim as The Stand or IT, but it carved out a niche with fans who appreciate its oddball charm and nostalgic vibes. In the grand tapestry of the Kingverse, it holds its own unique, if somewhat wobbly, place.
Whether you’re revisiting Haven or discovering it for the first time, The Tommyknockers is a weird ride worth taking, if only for the sheer strangeness of it all.

It’s 1970, and as the astronauts of Apollo 13 ventured around the dark side of the moon, they faced a life-threatening crisis. Who helped save the day? Judith Love Cohen. Judith had helped create the Abort Guidance System that would ultimately rescue those astronauts.
But wait, it gets better. Judith was still working on a problem for the Apollo program, the day she gave birth to a son. She took a printout to the hospital, called her boss to say she’d finished it, and then casually gave birth to the future star of School of Rock, Po himself, the man who brought Bernie Tiede to the silver screen, the one-and-only Jack Black. Talk about multitasking!
Now, with a mom like that, you’d think Jack would be all about the math and science, right? Well, not exactly. Jack was a kid who was not great at academics, but had a knack for making people laugh. His dad was a rocket scientist, too (no pressure, right?), Jack was more interested in cracking jokes than cracking equations. Growing up, Jack felt like the odd one out. He wasn’t into the whole school scene, but he discovered something pretty cool – he loved pretending to be other people. This knack for acting led him to his first gig at 13, starring in a commercial for a video game called Pitfall. Not a bad start!
But life wasn’t all smooth sailing. Jack’s parents divorced when he was 10, which really shook things up. He started acting out in school and even got into drugs as a teen. Yikes! Luckily, his parents stepped in and sent him to a special school that helped him get back on track.
Now, here’s where things get interesting. Jack discovered he could sing – like, really sing. He describes it as finding out he had a “Lamborghini” he didn’t know he possessed. Pretty sweet, right? Jack’s big break came when he met Kyle Gass. These two formed a band called Tenacious D, mixing comedy and rock in a way that was totally unique. They started playing small gigs in LA, and slowly but surely, people started to take notice. Despite his growing success, Jack often battled with insecurity. The shadow of his brilliant parents loomed large, and he felt a constant need to prove himself, not just in Hollywood, but to his family.
His early roles in Bob Roberts (1992), Demolition Man (1993), Airborne (1993), and True Romance (1993) set the stage for his unique blend of comedy and drama. He continued to make a name for himself in films like The NeverEnding Story III (1994), Waterworld (1995), Dead Man Walking (1995), Bio-Dome (1996), The Cable Guy (1996), and Mars Attacks! (1996). In The Jackal (1997) and Enemy of the State (1998), Jack showcased his versatility as an actor.
But it wasn’t until Jack landed a role in the movie High Fidelity in 2000 that things really took off. John Cusack, who knew Jack from his band Tenacious D, thought he’d be perfect for the role. Jack was nervous at first, worried about criticizing music when he was a musician himself. He almost chickened out of singing in the film, but director Stephen Frears gave him a push. And man, did he nail it, especially when he goes all out in the final scene where he sings “Let’s Get It On.” Jack describes it as pure adrenaline, and it shows on screen! This was a big moment for him – he realized he could really shine if he fully committed to his performances.
After High Fidelity, Jack didn’t have to hustle for roles anymore. They came to him! He landed a part in Shallow Hal with the Farrelly. Black speaks highly of his time working with Gwyneth Paltrow, but of course we all know she’s actually the fucking worst. From there, he took on a variety of roles in films like Saving Silverman (2001) andIce Age (2002).
Then came Orange County in 2002, where Jack played a stoner big brother. This was his first time working with Jake Kasdan, who’d later direct him in the Jumanji movies. Jack says this character might be the closest to his real self of all the roles he’s played.
2003 was a big year for Jack with School of Rock. This movie was tailor-made for him, written by his friend Mike White. Jack says it’s the movie he’s most proud of, calling it “lightning in a bottle.” He even had a hand in choosing the music, including begging Led Zeppelin to let them use “Immigrant Song.” Now that’s dedication! Black played Dewey Finn, a down-on-his-luck rocker who poses as a substitute teacher and ends up forming a rock band with his students. What made School of Rock so great was Jack’s infectious enthusiasm. Even though his character starts off just trying to make some quick cash, you can’t help but root for him as he gets genuinely excited about teaching these kids to rock. Jack’s ability to be both the goofy adult and the cool teacher who really gets the kids is what makes the movie work. While School of Rock was a hit, Jack’s insecurities resurfaced as he worried about being typecast. He felt pressure to show he could do more than just play the lovable goofball.
He continued to charm audiences in Shark Tale (2004). And then severely let them down in 2004’s Envy. Jack Black and Ben Stiller at the peak of their powers were not enough to save a really stupid script. Luckily, in 2005, Jack got to work with his dream director, Peter Jackson, on King Kong. He was in heaven filming in New Zealand for six months. Jack talks about the freedom he had in the big bug-fighting scene, just letting his imagination run wild. Sounds like a blast!
Nacho Libre in 2006 was another highlight. Jack was worried about playing a Mexican character, but the director, Jared Hess, had a plan. Jack even learned to wrestle for real, ending up with a nasty gash that required a plastic surgeon in a ball gown. You can’t make this stuff up!
The same year, Jack fulfilled his dream of making Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny. While it wasn’t a box office hit, it’s become a cult classic over the years. Jack’s proud of it, and fans still sing along to every song at concerts.
In 2006, Jack also starred in The Holiday, working with Kate Winslet. He was in awe of her acting skills and says he learned a lot just from doing scenes with her. Jack’s later held roles in Margot at the Wedding (2007) and Be Kind Rewind (2008). Tropic Thunder in 2008 was a wild ride. Jack talks about the tough filming conditions in Hawaii and a near-death experience with a pregnant water buffalo. But hey, at least they named the baby after him!
We can’t talk about Jack Black without giving a shout-out to his awesome work in the Kung Fu Panda franchise! Starting with Kung Fu Panda in 2008, Jack voices Po, the lovable, dumpling-munching panda who dreams of becoming a kung fu master. He knocked it out of the park again in Kung Fu Panda 2 (2011) and Kung Fu Panda 3 (2016), each time bringing his signature goofy charm and enthusiasm to Po. And just when we thought it couldn’t get better, Jack came back for Kung Fu Panda 4 in 2024, proving that Po’s journey (and Jack’s performance) is still as fresh and funny as ever. Across all four films, Jack nails Po’s evolution from clumsy noodle-shop worker to legendary Dragon Warrior, hitting all the right notes of humor, heart, and even some surprisingly deep moments. Jack’s performance is a big reason why these movies are so fun for both kids and adults. He makes Po feel like that buddy we all have who’s a bit of a goofball but has a heart of gold. It’s no wonder the Kung Fu Panda series has become such a hit – Jack Black’s Po is just too lovable to resist!
However, not all of Jack’s films were well-received. Year One (2009) was panned by critics, with Roger Ebert calling it ‘a dreary experience.’ Gulliver’s Travels (2010) was another commercial and critical flop, with many feeling Jack’s humor fell flat. These failures only fueled Jack’s need to prove himself, pushing him to take on more challenging roles.
Jack saw 2011’s Bernie as a chance to silence his critics and prove his range as an actor. His dedication to the role stemmed partly from a deep-seated need to be taken seriously in Hollywood. The movie is a testament to Jack’s incredible acting abilities. His portrayal of Bernie Tiede, a beloved mortician who shocks a small Texas town by committing a heinous crime, is nothing short of brilliant. Jack brings a depth and complexity to Bernie that is both captivating and heartbreaking. His performance is a reminder of his range as an actor, proving that he can do far more than just comedy. Jack’s work in Bernie is a testament to his talent and versatility, and it’s clear that he poured his heart and soul into this role. It’s a performance that deserves to be celebrated. That movie, along with 2011’s The Big Year and the excellent The Muppets, showcase his range and talent.
In recent years, Jack has continued to captivate audiences in films like Goosebumps (2015), The D Train (2015). Finally, we get to the Jumanji movies. Jack was thrilled to be part of reimagining this classic, especially getting to play a popular high school girl in the first one. He even claims credit for coming up with the subtitle “Welcome to the Jungle”! In Jumanji: The Next Level, Jack took on a new character and was nervous about pulling it off. But in the end, he was proud of his performance. In between the two Jumanji movies, Jack Black appeared in The Polka King (2017), Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween (2018), The House with a Clock in Its Walls (2018), and Tenacious D in Post-Apocalypto (2018), an animated series published to YouTube.
His most recent roles include Apollo 10 1/2 (2022), which somewhat parallels both his and director Richard Linklater’s lives, a memorable performance as Bowser in the massive hit The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023), and Borderlands (2024). And we can’t wait to see him in the upcoming films Oh Hell No, Minecraft, and especially School of Rock 2: American Rock.
Jack Black has admirably embraced being a celebrity in the internet age and found a new way to connect with fans and showcase his personality. His TikTok videos and YouTube channel have become wildly popular, with millions of followers enjoying his unfiltered humor and musical performances. Jack’s ability to adapt to new platforms demonstrates his knack for staying relevant in an ever-changing entertainment landscape.
Throughout his career, Jack has shown he’s not just a one-trick pony. He can do physical comedy, sing his heart out, and even tug at your heartstrings. He’s like that weird, fun uncle who always livens up family gatherings – you can’t help but love him. What’s cool about Jack is that he’s never tried to be a typical Hollywood leading man. He’s embraced his quirks and used them to his advantage. Whether he’s playing a slacker, a rocker, or even a kung fu fighting panda, Jack brings a unique energy to every role.
One of Jack’s most remarkable traits is his ability to seamlessly transition between family-friendly and more adult-oriented content. He’s just as at home on the set of Sesame Street as he is on Bourbon Street. And everyone is totally cool with it. This versatility has endeared him to a wide range of audiences, from kids who know him as Po in Kung Fu Panda to adults who appreciate his raunchier work with Tenacious D.
The recent controversy surrounding Tenacious D has certainly stirred up quite a bit of attention. During a concert in Sydney, Kyle Gass made a controversial joke about the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, which led to a significant backlash. Jack Black, who was reportedly blindsided by the comment, decided to cancel the remainder of their tour and put all future creative plans on hold. This decision reflects Black’s commitment to distancing himself from any form of hate speech or political violence, emphasizing his dedication to maintaining a positive and respectful public image. I’d think Jack Black was really conflicted about his decision. On the one hand, Gass has been his best friend and collaborator for decades, and Black owes him much of his early and sustained success. On the other, Black feels loyal to the fanbase he’s cultivated, over the years and compelled, even obligated, to do his best for them.
For Jack Black, this situation must have been incredibly challenging. Known for his comedic and lighthearted persona, finding himself in the midst of such a serious controversy likely felt disheartening and stressful. Black’s swift action to address the issue and his public statements show his desire to uphold his values and protect the integrity of his career and fanbase. Despite the setback, his fans continue to support him, appreciating his transparency and commitment to doing the right thing.
In the end, Jack Black’s story is about finding your own path. He might not have followed in his parents’ scientific footsteps, but he found something he was passionate about and ran with it. He’s proof that you don’t have to fit into a specific mold to be successful – sometimes, being the odd one out is exactly what makes you stand out. So next time you’re feeling like you don’t quite fit in, remember Jack Black. Embrace your inner weirdo, crank up the volume, and rock on!
Stephen King’s opinion on Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining is well-known lore and a big driving force behind a second take at adapting his popular horror novel more faithfully with the TV movie mini-series The Shining. One of King’s gripes with Kubrick’s iconic film is the casting of Jack Nicholson, since Nicholson already sported an intensity about him prior to The Overlook, and King insists that the scariest notion of Jack Torrance is that he was a normal, unassuming dad who is driven to be a monster. Enter Steven Weber, who is known for his long-standing role as Brian Hackett in the sitcom Wings. Weber was primarily seen as a comedic actor, which made his casting as Jack more what King had envisioned.
Weber would share a little anecdote about working with King when he appeared on the Inside of You podcast. During the production of the mini-series, Weber read the novel as part of his process and wanted to take full advantage of having the author present since King was very involved during filming. Weber explained, “He’s on a different planet. He’s on Planet King. He was around a lot during filming of The Shining, and I was able to ask him questions cause I was reading the book while doing it. I remember there was a portion of the book I couldn’t understand. And I asked him what it meant. I thought, ‘Great. I’ve got a living author downstairs. What does this mean Steve?’ And basically, he was like, ‘Yeah, this line is about a bottle of wine…this is cause I was standing over a carpet and it had a color that intrigued me…and this, I was drunk.’” He humorously concluded, “And I was like ‘Oh…thanks Steve. I thought the point was going to be something really deep.’” He laughed it off by capping the anecdote with, “He was a great guy. He was fantastic.”
Earlier this year, Scream Factory would release The Shining mini-series in a new Blu-ray release.
Here are the specs for Scream Factory’s The Shining Blu-ray release:

The mini-series version of The Shining has the following synopsis: Jack Torrance and his family move into the sprawling, vacant Overlook Hotel to get away from it all. Away from the alcoholism that derails Jack’s writing career. Away from the violent outbursts that mar Jack’s past. But Jack’s young son Danny knows better. He possesses a psychic gift called the shining — a gift the hotel’s vile spirits desperately want. In the hands of Stephen King, the “dead” Overlook comes horrifyingly alive. Phantoms lurk, the message “redrum” appears with scary frequency, and even garden topiary lurches into macabre existence in this atmospheric shocker.
The Sixth Pirate Code is part of The Pirates of the Caribbean Cursed Sails limited-time battle pass.
