Peter Capaldi Makes The Doctor
Series 8 is officially wrapped and the fandom has chimed in: Peter Capaldi is the best Doctor of New Who. Maybe the best New Who is a little presumptuous. Depending on your source, the best New Who often times is given to David Tennant, and with good reason. All you have to do is watch Series 1-4 1/2 and you can see why. Russell T. Davies did an excellent job rebooting the series with Christopher Eccelston, but it can’t be denied that David Tennant brought…

Kevin Spacey Doing Impressions Will Never Not Be Funny
Kevin Spacey showed up on The Tonight Show and did some pretty spot on and hilarious impressions of Christopher Walken, Michael Caine, and Johnny Carson Kevin Spacey is kind of a big deal right now with his role as Frank Underwood in Netflix’s gripping political thriller House of Cards (not to be confused with the BBC’s original production of House of Cards which is actually incredibly dull and hard to get through seeing as I haven’t studied any part of the last 300 years of…
Tom Hiddy Woos Us Again

Daniel Radcliffe Subtly Cast an Expelliarmus Charm and Left Us All Stupified
Can we just talk about how amazing it is that Daniel Radcliffe rapped it out on Jimmy Fallon? In case you haven’t seen it, this is what we’re talking about: Relashio! I thought you might need to be pulled out of that spell Daniel Radcliffe just put you under. Radcliffe is one hundred percent known the world over as “Harry Potter.” I don’t think anyone has ever seen a picture of him and went “Hey! That’s Arthur Kipps!” so it was riddikulusly refreshing to see…

Is It True? Can It Be? Rumors are running rampant on the interwebs that Benedict Cumberbatch is going to play Doctor Strange in 2016. Basically, all we have to say in response to this is: This news break comes from Deadline as they jumped the gun before the official Marvel announcement is made. We can actually expect a real announcement to be official on October 28th. We’re not saying the Cumberbatch/Strange rumor isn’t correct, but based on @AgentM and someone else’s interpretation of his gif…
