New Show Introduction: The Santa Clauses

November 12, 2022 by Rueben

On November 16, the limited series The Santa Clauses, based on the box office movie franchise The Santa Claus, will debut online on Disney+.

Scott Calvin (Tim Allen) is on the brink of his 65th birthday and realizing that he can’t be Santa forever. He’s suddenly starting to lose his Santa magic; and, more importantly, he’s got a family who could benefit from a life in the normal world, especially his two kids who have grown up at the North Pole. With a lot of elves, children and family to please, Scott sets out to find a suitable replacement Santa while preparing his family for a new adventure in a life south of the pole.

Elizabeth Mitchell is back as Carol; David Krumholtz as Bernard the Elf as well as Kal Penn and Laura San Giacomo.

Here is a trailer for The Santa Clauses:

New Show Introduction: Rogue Heroes

November 10, 2022 by Rueben

The EPIX drama Rogue Heroes will debut on November 13 at 9 PM.

This series is a dramatized account of how the world’s greatest Special Forces unit, the Special Air Service (SAS), was formed under extraordinary circumstances in the darkest days of World War II. Based on Ben Macintyre’s best-selling book of the same name, the series centers on David Stirling, an eccentric young officer who is hospitalized after a training exercise gone wrong. Convinced that traditional commando units don’t work, Stirling creates a radical plan that flies in the face of all accepted rules of modern warfare. He fights for permission to recruit the toughest, boldest, and brightest soldiers for a small undercover unit that will create mayhem behind enemy lines. More rebels than soldiers, Stirling’s team is every bit as complicated, flawed, and reckless as it is brave and heroic.

The cast includes Alfie Allen, Dominic West, Jack O’Connell and Sofia Boutella.

Here is a trailer for Rogue Heroes:
