Speaking with the Radio Times, Isaac, who plays the titular superhero and his various alter egos in the series, confirmed that Marvel Studios is not working on Moon Knight Season 2. It had always been expected that Moon Knight would be a limited series rather than an ongoing franchise....

Panama is a late eighties actioner loaded with drugs, sex, and rock ’n roll. Cole Hauser and Mel Gibson star as CIA spooks negotiating an arms deal in the narco-state before the US takedown of Manuel Noriega. The entire film feels like an episode of Miami Vice on steroids.

The gunplay is poorly edited, but I got a guilty pleasure kick out of the sordid and bloody narrative....

AMC’s hit graphic novel adaptation returns in just a few weeks and the network has been releasing new trailers and sneak peeks to prepare fans for third season.

And all that was left of him was his clothing. And no…before too much longer there will be confirmation of exactly that....

But, as they say, every cloud has a silver lining and Southland’s silver lining was being picked up by TNT....
