When Barret Oliver was cast in The NeverEnding Story, he was a veritable unknown. He’d had minor roles in a handful of movies and guest spots on a few TV shows. (Though, very popular 1980’s TV shows like The Incredible Hulk and Knight Rider!) Then… he became Bastian. Barrett Oliver as Bastian in The NeverEnding…
Leslie Bibb has been cast as a superhero. It’s about fuckin’ time. The fact that she is part of the MCU, but not as a superhero is perhaps the greatest injustice of the entire franchise. Thanos? Loki? Please, the real villains here are the casting directors. Honestly, this is a woman who was built to…

In 2004, HBO debuted a rough and tumble western that was unglossed, unkind, and full of unfiltered fucks (in every sense of the word).

Shows like The Sopranos, Breaking Bad, and Killing Eve have been praised for their envelope-pushing, while genre shows like The Walking Dead and Game of Thrones have taken graphic violence mainstream. Though network sitcoms may not sport the same head-bashing,…
Harrison Ford needs no introduction. But here’s one anyway. One of the most popular actors in the world, the bulk of Ford’s most famous work was made in the 1980s. That’s especially true of his sci-fi and fantasy work. It’s not just Ford who’s known around the world, though. His characters are more famous than…
