“The Last Of Us” Episode 5 Coming Early Thanks To Super Bowl

New episodes of HBO Max‘s hit series “The Last of Us” normally premiere every Sunday night. However, the “Super Bowl” will take over TV this Sunday. Don’t worry. HBO will still give you a new episode of “The Last of Us,” but on a different night. “The Last of Us” Episode 5 will air early this Friday, February 10th, at 9 pm EST! If you miss the new episode, you watch it again on Sunday at its regular time, 9 pm. The show will return to its regular schedule the following Sunday. Pedro Pascal (“The Mandalorian”) stars as Joel. Bella Ramsey (“Game of Thrones”) plays playing Ellie. Gabriel Luna (Terminator: Dark Fate) plays Tommy, the brother of Pascal’s Joel. Storm Reid, Anna Torv, Merle Dandridge, Jeffrey Pierce, Nick Offerman, Nico Parker, Murray Bartlett, and Con O’Neil co-star in the series. “The series is set twenty years after modern civilization has been destroyed.

Episode 3 Of “The Last Of Us” Left Viewers In Tears

Many shows take a stab at getting to viewers’ hearts with emotional scenes and episodes, but they usually fall short. Sunday night, I witnessed what may be the most emotional episode of any series I have ever watched. Of course, I’m talking about episode three of “The Last of Us.” And I’m sure many of the 6.4 million viewers that tuned in would agree. I am a die-hard horror fan and rarely ever cry in real life, but episode three had me crying, ugly crying, snot dripping, and all. Don’t get it twisted; it wasn’t all heartaches and sadness; instead, the episode was about love, which was beautiful. Warning! Spoilers! In what may be considered a controversial move (get over it already), the episode centers on Bill, played by Nick Offerman (“Parks and Recreation”), a prepper who is fantastic at building traps and surviving alone. One day a traveler named Frank (Murray Bartlet) stumbles into one of Bill’s traps. Bill

HBO Renews “Last Of Us” For Season Two

This probably comes as no surprise given the show’s popularity, but HBO has officially ordered the second season of “The Last of Us!” We may just be a couple of episodes into the new series, but the new horror drama already has more than 5.7 million viewers tuning in, and rightfully so. From what’s being said, the first season will concentrate on the original game, and the second season will concentrate on the first game’s sequel. “I’m humbled, honored, and frankly overwhelmed that so many people have tuned in and connected with our retelling of Joel and Ellie’s journey. The collaboration with Craig Mazin, our incredible cast and crew, and HBO exceeded my already high expectations,” co-showrunner Neil Druckmann said in a statement. “Now we have the absolute pleasure of being able to do it again with season two! On behalf of everyone at Naughty Dog and PlayStation, thank you!” “I’m so grateful to Neil Druckmann and HBO for our

The Zombies In HBO’s “Last Of Us” Are Based On Something Real!

Odds are, by now, you’ve seen the first couple of episodes of the “Last of Us” adaptation, and let’s be honest, it’s fantastic! “The series is set twenty years after modern civilization has been destroyed. Joel, a hardened survivor, is hired to smuggle Ellie, a 14-year-old girl, out of an oppressive quarantine zone. What starts as a small job soon becomes a brutal, heartbreaking journey, as they both must traverse across the U.S. and depend on each other for survival.” Right off to bat, you are probably wondering about the show’s gnarly zombies. The zombie infection is not a virus that morphed like we’ve seen in movies and series a thousand times. Instead, we get these crazy fungi-face creatures created by a fungus, Cordyceps, to be exact. Now here’s the terrifying part: Cordyceps are a very real thing. In reality, Cordyceps, a parasitic fungus, infects its hosts, usually small insects, turning them into real-life zombies by controlling their host’s actions,

Deadites Raise A Little Hell In The New ‘Evil Dead Rise’ Red Band Trailer

The first creepy AF trailer from Evil Dead Rise has just been unleashed, and by god, it looks fantastic. Watch as people transform into deadites while “Que Sera, Sera” by Doris Day plays in the background. Written and directed by Lee Cronin (The Hole in the Ground), the movie stars Lily Sullivan, Alyssa Sutherland, Morgan Davies, Gabrielle Echols, and Nell Fisher. “Moving the action out of the woods and into the city, Evil Dead Rise tells the twisted tale of two estranged sisters, played by Sutherland and Sullivan, whose reunion is cut short by the rise of flesh-possessing demons, thrusting them into a primal battle for survival as they face the most nightmarish version of family imaginable.” While franchise star Bruce Campbell will not be reprising his role as Ash, he is serving as a producer and has made a statement about the film’s plot. “It’s [about] a single mom who now has to deal with this book. These days

Writer-Director Casper Kelly Discusses Adult Swim’s Surprise Horror Movie

Adult Swim’s first feature horror film made its debut earlier in the week under the guise of a Yuletide Log. Moments into the video of the crackling fireplace we begin to hear talking and soon we see a murder. Then we watch as a group of friends enters the frame only for them to quickly begin to experience both paranormal events and a deranged killer. The unexpected, entertaining movie is from Adult Swim veteran Casper Kelly, who directs after writing Adult Swim series such as “Too Many Cooks” and “Your Pretty Face Is Going To Hell”, as well as the hit Nicholas Cage movie, Mandy. I spoke with Kelly about The Fire Place, the movie within the Yule Log video. That is not only available on Adult Swim, but HBOMax as well. https://soundcloud.com/kelli-r-marchman-mcneely/an-interview-with-adult-swims-casper-kelly?si=686d338ece974c858d0afd51599b7137&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing Transcript: Kelli: “It’s nice to meet you too.

Deadites Are Back In The First Image From ‘Evil Dead Rise’

The first image from Evil Dead Rise has just been unleashed, giving us a look at a grinning, blood-drenched deadite.
