Godzilla: King of the Monsters
In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, director Michael Dougherty described Rodan as a “winged A-bomb.”
Rodan’s been kind of a sidekick character, but I’ve always had a soft spot for him... In a lot of ways he’s more powerful than Godzilla. He’s like this winged A-bomb. I think we’ve done him justice.

Episode 3.04 - No Cure for Crazy
The forest reveals its secrets and a clue to Nicole’s past; Wynonna pays an unexpected visit to her mother.
Agent Carter
Showrunner Jose Molina doubts Netflix has any interest in reviving the series:
It would be lovely to think that Netflix (home to so many awesome Marvel shows) would pick it up, but their shows all share a common universe and timeline that Carter doesn’t share. Creatively, these shows tend to be very dark, and Agent Carter just doesn’t have dark and brooding in its DNA.
Stranger Things
Speaking with Deadline, David Harbour revealed season three will see Jim Hopper return to his violent detective persona:
We had a little softer season with Jim in Season 2, where he was really working off these fatherly instincts and understanding a responsibility that was larger than himself, and I think one of the things that we missed from Season 1 was this guy who goes into government facilities and punches people in the face. He’s not a doofus, but he’s a bit of a Columbo character.
Project Blue Book
Entertainment Weekly also has out first look at History’s new series on the US Air Force’s UFO investigation program which ran from 1952 to 1969.
The Purge
The Purge appears to have inspired, a wacky Death Race-style game show in a new image from the TV show, also from Entertainment Weekly.
Cloak & Dagger
In a recent interview with Syfy Wire, showrunner Joe Pokaski teased an upcoming appearance from the undying Mr. Jip, a former Sorcerer Supreme:
You didn’t see him in episode six? It’s possible you did. I’m not spoiling anything, I’m not committing to anything. But you should go back and look carefully at the scene where Tyrone goes into Kev’s dream and [sees] that kid with the backpack’s fears. I have a feeling if we’re lucky enough to have a season two, a lot your favorites will be making appearances.
