The Immortal Kevin Fitzpatrick was born and raised in New York City, and that doesn't make sense. Kevin wears many hats, including actor, editor, and writer, but never yellow. The best things in life are Back to the Future, beets, Firefly and The Venture Bros. When not picking apart the minutia of pop culture in film and TV, Kevin can usually be found RIGHT BEHIND YOU.

Is ‘American Horror Story’ Crossing Over ‘Coven’ and ‘Murder House’?
We’re practically scholars when it comes to the art of American Horror Story drawing connections between seasons, but it seems Ryan Murphy intends to draw one big line himself. The enigmatic showrunner teases that a full crossover season between Season 1's Murder House and Season 3's Coven is coming, featuring actors from both years.
Marvel Still Isn’t Close to Getting ‘The Defenders’ Into an MCU Movie
The recent release of Luke Cage may have crystallized how out of touch Marvel’s Defenders series feel with the current MCU film slate, a problem not likely to get better with Doctor Strange splitting New York into multiple dimensions. Timing makes it difficult to write any of the four Netflix stars into the films, but with Infinity War on the horizon, new comments from Kevin Feige again dash our hopes.
‘Walking Dead’ Officially Renewed for Season 8, Cliffhangers and All
Time will tell if The Walking Dead can undo the fan ire that came with Season 6's cliffhanger finale, but time they certainly have. One week out from Season 7's premiere, The Walking Dead confirms that its endless parade of undead misery will continue through Season 8, and hit a major milestone at that.
‘Walking Dead’ Boss Introduced a Tiger to Challenge the TV Show
Even as Walking Dead comic fans knew it to be coming, AMC viewers may have been taken back by the Season 7 trailer appearance of “King” Ezekiel and his pet tiger Shiva. Season 7 brought the creature to life with animatronics and CGI, while creator Robert Kirkman admits he wrote the tiger in to see how a TV series might handle it.
‘Always Sunny’ Season 12 Planning a Full Musical Episode
FXX’s It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia shows no signs of stopping, already booked for three more seasons, but one has to wonder if the decade-strong cast will ever run out of ideas. Certainly not in 2017 at least, as Charlie Day teases everything from water parks to another musical in Season 12.
‘Luke Cage’ Meets Method Man in One Final Netflix Trailer
We’ll be able to get our hands on Marvel’s Netflix Luke Cage as early as this Friday, but who couldn’t do with one last trailer? The third Defender series’ musical influence is more center stage than ever in the latest look, as Luke Cage even meets Method Man on one of his heroic deeds.
This ‘Stranger Things’ and ‘Buffy’ Mashup is Too Perfect to Ignore
I know, I know. We all love Stranger Things, but we’ve reached a point in the time since it’s premiere that the Netflix nostalgia-fest is best left on the back-burner until Season 2. Everyone and everything has had their own parody, but we kid you not, this mashup of Stranger Things with Buffy the Vampire Slayer’s iconic opening credits is well-worth your time.
Netflix Wants Original Content to Make Up Half its Library
Only a few short years ago, Netflix had in mind to double its roster of original programming by 2016. That goal has more or less been achieved, with something new debuting practically every Friday, so what’s next? Why, launching even more originals, to the point they make up 50% of the streaming service’s offerings, per Netflix brass.
Netflix ‘Lost in Space’ Series Casts its First Robinson
Netflix’s Lost in Space TV series has been buried by an avalanche of premieres and a long time in development, but it seems Lost has found its first Robinson. Falling Skies star Taylor Russell becomes the first to join the cast, with other Robinsons sure to follow.
‘American Horror Story’ Season 6’s Mystery Theme Didn’t Help Ratings
Now that American Horror Story Season 6 has officially given up the ghost of its mystery theme, FX must take stock of their unorthodox approach to promotion. It seems viewers may not have been enticed to tune in for the big reveal after all, as early ratings for American Horror Story: Roanoke (that’s the name, we checked) are below that of last year’s Hotel.
Wisconsin Appeals ‘Making a Murderer’ Subject’s Overturned Conviction
The narrative of Netflix’s Making a Murderer got a major shot in the arm when Steven Avery’s cousin and alleged accomplice Brendan Dassey had his conviction overturned, making it possible he’d walk free. Right on schedule, however, the state of Wisconsin has appealed the decision, potentially keeping Dassey behind bars longer.
