The Weekly Static s01e26: Gronkowski, Gaiman, MLK, and More!

I want these words to make things right, but isn’t it the wrongs that make the words come to life? I mean, who does he think he is? Cause if that’s the worst you got, better put your fingers back to the key. Cause it’s one night and one more time, but thanks for the memories…even though they weren’t so great. He tastes like…The Weekly Static!

Because Fall Out Boy and the writing gods behind Moonlighting understand that imitation is the highest form of flattery…but did I happen to mention? Did I bother to disclose? That this man that we’re seeking with the mole on his nose? I’m not sure of his clothes or anything else, except he’s…

…a big clue by itself.

The Weekly Static is our righteously desperate-yet-endearing look at the past week in the land of the networks, cable, streaming, smoke signals, cloud formations, and shadow puppets from an interesting, unique and entertaining perspective. At least that’s how it reads on paper, so let’s see how this goes…

So if you vote for The Weekly Static this fall, we will drain the swamp of lame, snarky week-in-review videos with these three promises of what The Weekly Static can do for you:

● Offer a blunt, honest perspective on about five random TV news post topics from the past week that also highlights your relentless team of news-thirsty Bleeding Cool writers and the quality work they do. My views are my views and not a reflection of the opinions of those who wrote the article. Translation? I own what I say 110%.

● Spotlight a news item that we missed when it first hit, but we’re pretty sure you’ll still find it interesting.

● Feed my voracious ego with copious amounts of praise, adulation, social media shares, pizza, Superman Funkos, Eisner Awards, write-in votes for the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election (…yup…still…) and a lifetime supply of Lay’s Korean Barbecue potato chips:

“Fast & the Furious’ Justin Lin will direct CBS’ Magnum P.I. pilot from Peter Lenkov (Hawaii Five-O), Davis Entertainment (The Blacklist), CBS TV Studios and Universal TV Studios.

Lin and Danielle Woodrow also will executive produce via Lin’s Perfect Storm Entertainment.

Co-written by Lenkov and fellow Hawaii Five-0 executive producer/co-showrunner Eric Guggenheim, the reboot of the classic 1980s Tom Selleck series will feature the same central quartet of characters as the original but, instead of four guys, it will consist of three men and a woman, with Higgins reconceived as Juliet Higgins…”

Funko ECCC 2018 Exclusives Part 5: Cuphead, Freddy Funko, Saga, and More!

Funko has started to officially reveal their exclusives for Emerald City Comic Con 2018. This is one of the bigger shows on their schedule every year, since it’s basically in their backyard. Some of my favorite exclusives have come from this show in the past, and with them being shared with more and more retailers every year, it’s becoming easier and easier for non-attendees to get their hands on them. This fifth wave is a mixed bag of many things, including Cuphead, Saga, Mad Max, Scott Pilgrim, Freddy Funko, and Bigfoot to name a few.

First up is Cagney Carnation from the widely-popular game Cuphead. What a great looking Pop!

Speaking of games, they will also have a sweet Street Fighter 2 shirt available in a sweet arcade cabinet packaging. This will be limited to 1000 pieces.

On the Vynl side, we get a must-but set of figures from the Wes Anderson classic The Life Aquatic. I love this movie so much, but limited to 2500 pieces I am not sure this will be shared. Hopefully this means we are getting a wave of Pops.

Mad Max and Scott Pilgrim are also represented at the show, with Rictus Erectus from the former and a two-pack of Gideon Graves and Ramona Flowers from the latter. That two-pack will be huge, every single show I have ever been at with a Scott Pilgrim exclusive has sold out fast. Grab it if you can.

A sad, cracked version of Prince Robot IV from the hugely popular comic Saga will appear at the show, and likely be shared with a retailer.

Funko itself is bringing two of their own exclusives, with the latest in their Spastik Plastik line Pulpo in ECCC green limited to 1000 pieces at the show. The other is a Freddy Funko version near and dear to my heart, as Freddy is decked out like a baseball player. That one is also limited to 1000 pieces and only available at the show.

Finally is the coolest one from these announcements, a flocked version of Bigfoot himself. Striking his iconic “walking” pose, this one is limited to 3000 pieces.

A number of the ECCC 2018 Funko exclusives will be shared with select retailers. The list will be revealed on February 28th. When we get the info, we will share it with you.
