The upcoming Deadpool 3 unexpectedly has a lot riding on it. Not only is it going to serve as the first example of how mutants and more R-rated characters will interact with the MCU, it’s also got to appease those excited by the return of Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine. Unfortunately, it’s also got another expectation it…
Ladies and gents, it’s time again for the Golden Schmoes! That’s right! It’s time for the 22nd edition of the longest running online fan movie awards. If you’re new to the site and don’t know what The Golden Schmoes are all about, you can read all about them right HERE. However, with these awards, what we like to do is put the power of choosing both the nominees and winners for what we consider the Best Movies of The Year in YOUR hands. So if you’re annoyed that movies like The Iron Claw were shut out of the Oscars, or just can’t get over the supposed Greta Gerwig snub for Barbie, you’ve come to the right place! Do you think Ben Affleck deserved some love for Air? Have your say here! And how about Godzilla Minus Zero? Did the best-ever Kaiju movie deserve more awards attention? Let’s give the big guy a Golden Schmoe!
All you need is a valid email address and, once the nomination period opens up on Monday (Feb 12) at 10am EST on the official site, you pick the nominees and the winners.
Voting for nominees starts Feb 12th at 10am EST and closes Feb 17th (at 11:59 pm EST) and will take place on the official site. We’ll announce the official nominees on Feb 19th and you can begin VOTING for the winners from February 19th through March 2nd. Winners will be announced on Friday, March 8th!
Nominations start a week from today, and we’ll post an article getting into the nitty-gritty and running down the specific categories, but you can check out past winners here. If you need a refresher on which movies came out in 2023, you can find all of the major releases right here.
Suffice to say, we’re super proud of our awards and are dying to find out what you all think are the year’s best movies. Sometimes the Academy, critics, and guilds seem out of touch with what people are actually watching. So if you have a movie you’re rooting for, make sure to let us know in the comments below. For me, I’m hoping the folks behind my second favorite movie of the year, The Iron Claw, get recognized, while also finding room to honour those who DIDN’T get snubbed, like Paul Giamatti for The Holdovers, and Christopher Nolan for his Herculean-effort, Oppenheimer. Hopefully this 22nd edition of the Golden Schmoes is one of our best ever!

Spyglass Media and Paramount Pictures wanted to move quickly on Scream 7… then the version of the film they wanted to move quickly on crumbled piece by piece. Scream (2022) and Scream VI directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett are finishing work on their Universal Monsters movie Abigail (formerly known as Dracula’s Daughter), so with returning writers James Vanderbilt and Guy Busick working on the script, the companies hired Freaky and Happy Death Day director Christopher Landon to direct the film and started reaching out to actors. Jenna Ortega allegedly wanted a substantial pay raise to reprise the role of Tara Carpenter… and as we saw when Neve Campbell dropped out of Scream VI due to a pay dispute, these pay issues don’t tend to work out. So Ortega was out, but Melissa Barrera was on board to come back as Tara’s sister Samantha. Until she was fired from the project after comments she made about the Israel-Hamas war didn’t go over well with executives at Spyglass. Soon after, Landon left the project, saying what had been a dream job had turned into a nightmare. (He has since set up a werewolf thriller called Big Bad.) Now the script has been reworked, Spyglass and Paramount have apparently reached out to Neve Campbell, and rumors are spreading about another director being in the running to take the helm.
An “insider” has informed In Touch Weekly that “Neve is definitely considering returning. She loves the franchise and wants to go back, but on her terms.” So at this point, it seems the powers-that-be may be willing to pay Campbell her asking price in an effort to salvage Scream 7. Campbell recently had to cancel a March convention appearance because she’ll be filming something that month, stirring up speculation that Scream 7 might be getting rushed into production that soon.
Meanwhile, YouTuber Craven Something Scary has heard that John Hyams may be the frontrunner to land the directing job. Hyams’ previous credits include Universal Soldier: Regeneration, Dragon Eyes, Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning, Alone, and episodes of Z Nation, Black Summer, and Chucky. He was also attached to direct a Maniac Cop remake that never made it into production. What really makes Hyams stand out as a potential Scream director is the fact that he worked with original Scream writer Kevin Williamson on the slasher movie Sick. Hyams would be a great choice, but apparently he has competition from “a female director” that has so far gone unnamed.
Would you like to see a Scream 7 that’s directed by John Hyams and stars Neve Campbell? Share your thoughts on this possibility by leaving a comment below.

During its launch in 2020, I was part of a publication dedicated exclusively to highlighting accessible innovations and disabled perspectives in the games industry. As the Mobility Editor of Can I Play That, I edited plenty of features, news posts, and reviews…
PLOT: In season two, Master Chief John-117 leads his team of elite Spartans against the alien threat known as the Covenant. In the wake of a shocking event on a desolate planet, John cannot shake the feeling that his war is about to change and risks everything to prove what no one else will believe – that the Covenant are preparing to attack humanity’s greatest stronghold. With the galaxy on the brink, John embarks on a journey to find the key to humankind’s salvation, or its extinction — the Halo.
REVIEW: Halo debuted in 2022 with fifteen years of development baggage heaped on top of it. With sky-high expectations for the series, anything less than a seismic shift in video game adaptations was bound to fail. Halo debuted with a muted response that found the Game of Thrones-esque intrigue and conspiracies distracting from what made the game one of the biggest franchises in history. Now, two years and one showrunner later, Halo‘s second season aims to partially reset those expectations and they succeed. With more action and a tone closer to that of the games, Halo is finally the series we have been waiting for. Led by Pablo Schrieber who wears Master Chief’s helmet as often this time around as he doesn’t, this second season of Halo is a substantial improvement over the first and will likely silence any critics of what came before by delivering a more balanced blend of action sequences along with character development that reminded me as much of the Halo video games as it did top-tier genre television series.
The first season of Halo ended with a series of reveals and showdowns that led to the disappearance of Dr. Halsey (Natascha McElhonne), the escape of Makee (Charlie Murphy) after saving John (Schreiber) and unveiling of a star map that leads to Halo, and John left in a coma-like state that allowed Cortana to take control of him. This season opens with minimal explanation of those events and thrusts Silver Team onto a mission where they are rescuing refugees before it can be destroyed by Covenant. It is there that John encounters the alien enemy in a foggy battle that sets up a mystery this season that will challenge his personal ideals as well as the bonds between ONI, UNSC, and the Spartans themselves. The first episodes begin with a ton of action but also lead to a significant amount of character development for John and the other members of his squad. It is a strong opening to the season that connects to events from the prior episodes but forges a strong and distinct tone for the run that follows.
The biggest problem that I had with the first season of Halo was that it felt more focused on creating factions and warring parties, like Game of Thrones, that it failed to capture what fans loved about the Halo games. This season has more action, but it still distinguishes itself from the video game format by making this a character-based series. This run of Halo reminded me more of the acclaimed and fan-favorite series The Expanse with a balanced perspective from the full ensemble of characters. This season, much more time is given to Silver team members Kai (Kate Kennedy), Riz (Natasha Culzac), and Vannak (Bentley Kalu), all of whom get helmet-less arcs that balance that of Master Chief himself. The series also gives us more time with Soren (Bokeem Woodbine) and his wife Laera (Fionna O’Shaughnessy). We also keep Kwan Ha (Yerin Ha) as part of the story to strengthen the ongoing storylines begun last season. My first instinct last season was that this series would be a live-action take on the web series Red Vs. Blue, but to make a dramatic show worth investing in, the characters need to be worth caring about.
While elements of the first season are eschewed in favor of a more focused narrative this time around, there are new additions to the cast. Cristina Rodlo joins the ensemble as Talia Perez, a Marine corporal who appears early in the season premiere and plays a vital role in the ongoing arc which parallels that of Master Chief. Joseph Morgan plays James Ackerson, the successor to Dr. Halsey in running the Spartan program. Morgan could easily be mistaken for a villain the moment he comes on screen, but the true nature of how he fits into the overarching story has a bit more nuance than that. In the four episodes made available for this review, there is a noticeable focal point for the story, something that was very lacking in the kitchen sink approach of season one. This has pros and cons as the series definitely feels more like Halo but not because of the action. The world-building necessitated in the first season is greatly reduced, so the sophomore run gets to build on the heavy lifting that already took place.
New showrunner David Weiner, who previously developed the Peacock series Brave New World, brought on an entirely new writing staff this season including Ahmadu Garba, Marisha Mukerjee, Tom Hemmings, Basil Lee Kreimendahl, and Sarah McCarron. Otto Bathurst, who helmed episodes in season one, is the only returning helmer. Bathurst directed two episodes along with Debs Paterson, Craig Zisk, and Dennie Gordon who each helm a pair of chapters. The dynamic between all of these folks behind the scenes, coupled with video game advisor and producer Kiki Wolfkill overseeing the mythology of Halo, this season is streamlined and stronger for it. There are still weak spots, namely the CGI used on the Spartans themselves when engaged in action sequences, but the Covenant creatures and space landscapes look much better than before. The weakness of the computer effects in the Spartan-centric scenes takes a back seat to the bigger concern in the flatness of the overall feel of the show. The first season was somewhat boring and at times this season gets close to backsliding into that chasm, but it just barely stays out of it. Hopefully, this is a takeaway for the writers to avoid in the likely season three.
Everything about the second season of Halo is a substantial improvement over season one. Led by Pablo Schreiber’s deeper performance, improved special effects, stronger antagonists, and a more involved plot, you will not worry once about how often Master Chief is not wearing his signature helmet. With the shackles of development hell finally behind them, the creative talent behind Halo can once and for all deliver the series we have been waiting for. Halo is not quite at the level of The Last of Us but this season is a massive step in the right direction. I found the first season of this series to be average, at best, and it never redeemed itself for me. I came into this season with apprehension but found myself enjoying it a lot more than I thought I would. There are still places where the series can be improved, especially in the CGI employed, but this season is a step in the right direction for delivering the series Halo fans have been waiting for.
The second season of Halo premieres on February 8th on Paramount+.

The behind-the-scenes drama continues for Yellowstone. So much so that it could make for its own interesting show. The hit-maker of Paramount+, Taylor Sheridan, has been dealing with a lot of controversy for this last season when his star, Kevin Costner, disputed the production schedules and made it difficult for filming when he opted not to return. As the old saying goes, “The show must go on.” So, the series would push forward with its final episodes without Costner. While Sheridan was disappointed by the series of events, he would look forward to working with his new name actor, Matthew McConaughey on a spin-off continuation of the modern stories featuring the Dutton family.
Sheridan is seemingly having to put out more fires as ComicBook.com reports that the spin-off is now in danger of losing the popular cast members from Yellowstone who would be crossing over. The yet-to-be-named spin-off has not been able to officially sign on Kelly Reilly, who portrays Beth, Cole Hauser, who is set to continue as Rip, and Luke Grimes, who would be returning as Kayce. According to Puck News, the returning cast is holding out for a larger payday. Particularly Reilly and Hauser, who, besides Costner, are the faces of the series. As Yellowstone developed into a major success for the streamer, the two are reportedly asking for $1.25 million an episode, which would make them some of the highest earners on television.
The negotiations are apparently not going smoothly. The streaming network has set a deadline for them to close a deal on the new show, and if there hasn’t been an agreement made, the Yellowstone spin-off may lose more Dutton family members. However, it is also being reported that the actors are individually negotiating their contracts, which could mean one or two actors could still close a deal and the sequel show may see just a sliver of its popular stars return. While Matthew McConaughey is a big draw on his own, the show would seemingly rely on the immediate Dutton family members for its continuation. However, the studio is also banking on new notable names that would join the returning cast to round out the ensemble. Sheridan and McConaughey have been planning on the collaboration, but McConaughey himself has yet to sign on. Puck News would also report on Michelle Pfeiffer being courted to star in the show and apparently, she’s closer to signing a deal than McConaughey currently is.

Last night’s Grammys was a night of predictable winners, surprise appearances and even an arrest.
While Phoebe Bridgers was the big winner with four awards, it was Taylor Swift who took home Album of the Year (Midnights), making her the only artist to win the award four times. This honor was given by Celine Dion, in a shocking appearance considering her 2022 diagnosis of stiff person syndrome, leaving her unable to perform. After a standing ovation, she told the crowd, “Thank you, all! I love you right back…You look beautiful. When I say I’m happy to be here, I really mean it from my heart. Those who have been blessed enough to be here at the Grammy Awards must never take for granted the tremendous love and joy that music brings to our lives and to people all around the world.”
In another shocking moment, rapper Killer Mike — who had won three Grammys earlier in the night — was arrested on battery charges. He has since been released, but maybe the Academy could take some notes here…Another notable winner was Miley Cyrus, who won her first Grammys for “Flowers”.
While we couldn’t possibly name every winner from last night’s Grammys — there are around 100 categories (you can see the full list here) — the main categories were filled with some notable names: Record of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance went to Cyrus, Song of the Year to Billie Eilish and Finneas O’Connell for “What Was I Made For?” (from Barbie) , and Pop Duo/Group Performance went to SZA’s “Ghost in the Machine”. Partly due to her band boygenius, Bridgers won the most awards, namely Best Rock Performance and Song for their “Not Strong Enough”. Swift also took home Pop Vocal Album. Best New Artist was Victoria Monét. On a more historic note, Monét’s daughter, who was featured on her “Hollywood”, is now the youngest nominee in Grammy history — she turns three later this month.
Also on the film front outside of Barbie, Oppenheimer won the Grammy for Best Score Soundtrack Album for Visual Media. Ludwig Göransson and “What Was I Made For?” are also up for Oscars in their respective categories.

Just when you thought 2023 was safely in the books as the official year of Taylor Swift, news comes from the star herself that she’s got a new album, “The Tortured Poets Department,” coming out on April 19. She announced the release while accepting her 13th Grammy to date, saying, “I know the way the Recording Academy voted is a direct reflection of the fans’ passion. So, I want to say thank you to the fans by telling you a secret that I’ve been keeping from you for the last two years, which is that my brand new album comes out April 19. It’s called The Tortured Poets Department. I’m going to go post the cover right now. Thank you. I love you!”
Indeed, 2024 is going to be another big one for Swifties. But what else was 2023 all about? Barbenheimer, of course, and the box office phenomenon did not leave the Grammy’s empty-handed. Barbie won an award for its soundtrack and “best song written for visual media” for Billie Eilish O’Connell & Finneas O’Connell’s “What Was I Made For.” Meanwhile, Ludwig Göransson won a score Grammy for Oppenheimer, while John Williams took home his 26th (!) Grammy for his track off the Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny soundtrack, “Helena’s Theme.”
All this bodes well for Oppenheimer winning for its score at the Academy Awards, which would mark Göransson’s second Oscar following his win for Black Panther – if he wins (essentially a lock).
Check back in the am for a list of all the Grammy winners.
