Marvel MIA in Hall H, Simpsons Makes History, a ‘Thrones’ Conspiracy and More! [The Weekly Static s01e37]

We’re staying all night, we never slow down. I think we better do it like we’re doing it now. It’s been a long time since we’ve been around. So come on, let’s keep doing it like we’re doing…The Weekly Static!

With all sorts of love for Charli XCX and Rita Ora, here’s a little reminder of a comedian who was taken from us way too soon – but left us a body of work that continues to influence new generations to this day – in this week’s:

The Weekly Static is Bleeding Cool‘s look at the past week in the land of the networks, cable, streaming, smoke signals, cloud formations, and shadow puppets from an interesting and entertaining perspective. So The Weekly Static’s “League of Moderately Evil Exes” (myself, Rocky, Trejo, Bat-Murr and Margo Staten) makes you these three promises… because we can:

● Offer blunt, honest perspectives on five TV topics from the past week covered by Bleeding Cool’s team of news-thirsty writers. Just to be clear? My views are my views and don’t reflect on the writers. We own what we say 110%.

● Spotlight a news item that we missed when it first hit, but we’re pretty sure you’ll want to know about.

● Feed my insatiable-yet-fragile ego with buckets of praise, adulation, social media shares, pizza, Superman Funkos, Eisner Awards, write-in votes for the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election… and a talking penguin, chicken and pig to go on zany adventures with.

Comedy Central Developing ‘Living The Dream’ From Aaron Karo & Dillon Francis

“Comedy Central is developing Living the Dream, from Aaron Karo (Aaron Karo: The Rest is History) and DJ Dillon Francis, Deadline has learned.

Written by Karo and Francis who also will star, Living the Dream follows Quincy Hart (Francis), an internet personality who realizes his career is shallow and tries to reconnect with the most important people in his life. All he wants is love but all he gets are likes. Francis, whose new album is expected later this year, will also contribute original music.”

And here’s a look back at last week’s edition of The Weekly Static:

Thanos Collectors Will Want to Pick up the Hot Toys Cosbaby Figure

Thanos collectors have never had it better. With Infinity War showings beginning this evening, Thanos is everywhere, and people will be gobbling up anything and everything Thanos-related after exiting the theater (trust me).

One product that I happened upon at the Disney Store of all places was the Hot Toys Cosbaby figure of the Mad Titan. I have seen pictures of these for years and never got my hands on one. Fitting that the first would be Thanos, since I thought he looked the best of the ones I had seen. Let’s take a look at it!

The packaging was surprising. Not only is it tinier than I thought it would be, but I love the giant window box! If you never wanted to open this one, you could get away with it pretty easily. The Infinity Gauntlet acts as a flap tucking into the box and holding the top down, and the art around the box and including the Gauntlet is awesome. The artwork of Thanos on the side is really cool. I am really impressed.

I open everything, though, and I was excited to get this guy in my hands. Once opened, the quality of the figure itself really was a surprise. Mine features zero paint imperfections (although I have heard that is the exception and not the norm), and it has way more heft to it than I thought. I thought it would be more of a hollow, light figure, but I was dead wrong. The bobblehead on Thanos is a great — it fits the body perfectly. The Gauntlet could be a little bit bigger, but that’s not a deal breaker. Even the little plastic Avengers stand is pretty cool. I wonder if that would work with other figures…

I am seriously impressed with my first Hot Toys Cosbaby figure. There are more available at Disney Stores right now, along with other characters like Spider-Man, Black Widow, Iron Man, and more.
