'The Walking Dead' Wants Some Tongue Action With Season Finale Tribute Zombie
Greg Nicotero is sure showing us what a 53-year-old man with a penchant for zombies can do with his tongue, and it looks like the SFX on #AMC's #TheWalkingDead are ramping up the gore for the Season 7 finale. We only may be six episodes in to TWD's 16-episode run, but Scott Gimple and co. have already wrapped up what is sure to be another blood-soaked finale.

The Science Of Demonic Possession: How The Vatican Is Trying To Save Our Souls
In the media-savvy world of 2016, the Vatican's ideals on exorcism may seem a little outdated from its first publication of the Rite of Exorcism in 1614. This year's film #Incarnate bridges the gap between the worlds of demonic possession and science, so forget what you think you know about the casting out of evil spirits. Incarnate merges with the Vatican's new stance on how to conduct #exorcism and sees Aaron Eckhart's Dr. Seth Ember enter the psyche of the possessed.

'Beauty And The Beast's' Dan Stevens Spot On With Donald Trump Comparison!
They say that life imitates art, and in turn #Disney imitates life. Angry villagers, long unmanageable hair, and a house full of women that are objects — anyone would be forgiven for thinking that the upcoming live-action reimagining of #BeautyAndTheBeast is actually a meta take on the tale of Donald and Melania's road to the White House. We can just imagine the pair twirling around the Oval Office to their Disney soundtrack cassette, or singing "Be Our Guest" at one of the many White House parties. So, is Donald Trump the real Belle-end of Beauty and the Beast?

Sweet Spacey's Sequel: 'Solace' Is The Follow Up To 'Se7en' That No One Wanted
Hannibal Lecter plays a psychic doctor, stopping at nothing to prevent a religious Colin Farrell from outmaneuvering the FBI in the world's weirdest game of chess. Wait, what? No, this isn't a Family Guy pitch for ludicrous films, this is Solace, the unofficial sequel to 1995's Se7en. So, why over two decades later are we resurrecting a film from the Brad Pitts of development hell? Check out the trailer for 2016's Solace below:

The Terrifying And Untold True Story Of Modern Day Exorcisms
While you might think that exorcism is only the stuff of horror films like Brad Peyton's #Incarnate — in which Aaron Eckhart stars as Dr. Seth Ember, literally going inside the minds of others to banish their demons, Inception- and The Cell-style, but keeps his methods from the public — "real" exorcisms are very much keeping people awake at night. Dubbed the "Pope Francis effect," thanks to the leader of the Catholic Church's constant talk of evil and exorcisms, many people no longer consider demonic possession a superstition.

Its' Not Easy Being Mean: Songwriter Loves That 'Easy Street' Was Used To Torture Daryl On 'The Walking Dead'!
It is a method I have used before — turning my speakers to the wall at 2am and blaring out S Club 7 as a way to torture my housemate. Now it appears that the lyrical version of waterboarding has made it into mainstream TV in Season 7 of #TheWalkingDead, which unfortunately meant that the season's third outing, "The Cell," saw things looking pretty bleak for Daryl Dixon.

Iron Maiden: Could Daryl About To Be Burned In 'The Walking Dead'?
Can you hear that? It's the sizzle of burning flesh on #TheWalkingDead horizon: but just who could be facing a light steam and press? #DarylDixon may well be in the "ironing" line as everything is looking a little grim for our resident Hell's Angel. Episode 3's "The Cell" was harrowing enough, but we can only imagine that things are going to get worse for the littlest Dixon.

Titty Titty Gang Bang: 'Westworld's 4 Minute Scene Orgy We're All Talking About!
So, let's discuss the penis in the room. The fifth episode of #Westworld, "Contrapasso," had a few extra "members" in the cast this week, and it is all anyone is talking about. In danger of overshadowing the show itself, it seems that you either did or didn't notice the four-minute orgy scene that twirled in the background, while our regular cast mused about life.
