Published

on

Spotify, in partnership with DC, and Warner Bros. announced today that the all-new audio series Harley Quinn and The Joker: Sound Mindstarring Christina Ricci and Billy Magnussen, will premiere with all episodes available to listeners on January 31, 2023.

The 7-episode series, written and directed by Eli Horowitz (Homecoming), is the highly-anticipated second project to be released as part of Spotify’s multi-year agreement with DC, and Warner Bros. following the global sensation, Batman Unburied

Starring Christina Ricci (YellowjacketsWednesday, The Matrix Resurrections, The Addams Family) and Billy Magnussen (No Time To Die, Made for Love) as our titular characters, Harleen Quinzel and The Joker, the series tells a new story from the perspective of one of Gotham City’s most iconic villains.

When we meet Dr. Harleen Quinzel, she’s fresh out of grad school, a new psychologist at Arkham Asylum, determined to help the patients her colleagues have written off. But her dad is sick, and in need of an expensive, life-saving operation she can’t afford.

Pushed to her breaking point, Harleen is tired of playing by the rules. So when she meets “Patient J,” a magnetic inmate able to manipulate everyone but her, Harleen makes a fateful decision: to use her relationship with The Joker to get what she wants, leading both of them down a dangerous path that will change them, Bruce Wayne (Justin Hartley), and Gotham City forever. 

The series will also feature Amy Sedaris (The Mandalorian, At Home with Amy Sedaris) as Harleen’s Aunt Rose, Andre Royo (Empire, The Spectacular Now) as Arnold Wesker aka The Ventriloquist, Stephen Root (Barry, King Of The Hill) as Harleen’s boss Grunfeld, Fred Melamed (Barry, WandaVision) as Harleen’s co-worker Bob, Mary Holland (Senior Year) as Margaret Pye aka Magpie, and Elias Koteas (Goliath, Chicago PD) as Harleen’s father Nicky Quinzel.

Legendary Grimdark ‘Warhammer 40,000’ Artist John Blanche Has Passed Away at 78

Published

on

In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war, but it was a cheerful illustrator from England who helped to define the terrifying war-torn imagery that inspired what we now know as Grimdark (a hybrid genre combining horror with sci-fi/fantasy).

Unfortunately for fans of Warhammer 40,000, Trench Crusade and countless other sources of Grimdark thrills, veteran artist John Blanche passed away this week after struggling with health issues for the past few years.

While the artist retired back in 2023, he leaves us with an enormous legacy of iconic artwork that continues to inspire gamers and storytellers around the world to this very day.

The news is especially gloomy as it was only last year that Daniel Lowman and Napoleon Dynamite himself Jon Heder released The Grim & the Dark: The Search for John Blanche, a documentary following Heder’s exploration of the Grimdark genre culminating in a heartwarming encounter with Blanche in his own home.

Below is one of my favorite pieces by Blanche, his highly influential depiction of Warhammer 40k’s God-Emperor of Mankind on his Golden Throne.

We send our deepest condolences to John Blanche’s family, friends, and fans.
