I KNEW THEY COULDN’T LEAVE WELL ENOUGH ALONE.

This was my favourite season. He played such a great hopeless hack just trying to get his dad to love him

James Ransone, the actor best known for his roles as Ziggy Sobotka on The Wire and Eddie Kaspbrak in It: Chapter Two, has died. He was 46. According to the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner, Ransone died by hanging on Friday.

Ransone appeared in 12 episodes of The Wire’s second season, portraying dock worker Chester “Ziggy” Sobotka. His character’s arc followed a volatile descent from an insecure, often-mocked stevedore into a tragic figure within Baltimore’s criminal underworld. Frequently humiliated by fellow dockworkers and low-level criminals, Ziggy ultimately reaches a breaking point. After committing a violent act against his partner, he remains at the scene, waiting for police and confessing to the crime.

Ziggy’s story concludes in the Season 2 finale, where he is shown beginning his prison sentence, marking one of the show’s most haunting and memorable character trajectories.

Cap is a dad?

The first teaser trailer for “Avengers: Doomsday” has revealed that Steve Rogers, the star-spangled Avenger portrayed by Chris Evans, will return in the next Marvel team-up adventure, set to release Dec. 18, 2026. In a twist, Captain America is the father to a newborn child.

Marvel is building up to “Doomsday,” which hits theaters exactly one year from Thursday, with this Cap-focused teaser attached to screenings of “Avatar: Fire and Ash.”

There will reportedly be more teasers that focus on other characters in the coming weeks”

Nostalgia is one hell of a drug it seems.

The Reel Debaters

We all know real life is the inspiration for if not all, most of the movies we love to watch come from.

A Movie just watches better when you know that parts of our culture and history make it to the big screen don’t you agree?

Born out of weekly nights pontificating about cinema while ingesting chicken wings and cheap The Reel Debaters found a way to argue movies outside of the box.

Hosted by Micheal Petrow, a few comedians, some film professionals, a pop culture nerd and a rotating door of movie geeks they sit down each episode and answer some of films least debated arguments like “Who would make a great Prime Minister” or “What ensemble cast would you want to be a secret Santa to”
