Good Afternoon Heroes and Villains! We have the upcoming Chapter 1 slate for the upcoming DC Studios movie and television shared universe. Some of these I can’t believe but I can say I feel hopeful.

January 26, 2023January 26, 2023 Ben Odinson

We have the second trailer for the upcoming SHAZAM! Fury of the Gods movie which is set to come out March 17, 2023. I’m hoping that this movie is successful so the DC Extended Universe can have another win since Black Adam sadly wasn’t the success everyone thought it was going to be financially. It is sad knowing that Dwayne Johnson turned down being in this movie so don’t hold you breath for a Black Adam cameo which is sad since everyone knows he is Shazam’s foil and not Superman’s…

Hello, Hero-Club, TDub here once again with a video game review! For this time around, I am taking a look at the 2011 classic from Valve, Portal 2! For those unaware or too young to know, before creating the Steam store, Valve used to regularly develop and publish video games. Not only that, but almost every release would become an instant classic. For example, Half-Life, Half-Life 2, Left 4 Dead, Counter-Strike, Team Fortress 2, and Portal were those games. To say that Portal took the gaming world by storm…
