As with every sequel, there must be new additions to keep the story moving forward. That is no different with Star Wars: The Last Jedi, which not only has new characters but also a new director in Rian Johnson. These new characters will aid or hinder each other in different ways whether it’s the First Order making a power move to annihilate the Resistance or some infighting within the Resistance. Either way, it makes for some great drama. And that is all led by Johnson.

Geeks of Doom, along with fellow members of the press, got to sit down with Johnson, Laura Dern, and Kelly Marie Tran, to hear what they had to say about being the new kids on the block. Check out what they had to say below.

“You see Santa Claus tonight you better run boy, you better run for ya life!”

1984’s Silent Night, Deadly Night caused quite a stir when its marketing campaign suggested that Santa Claus was a knife-wielding psychopath. TV spots, which aired between episodes of shows like Three’s Company and Little House on the Prairie, led to enraged parents complaining that their children were terrified of Santa Claus. Community leaders and parent-teacher associations organized events at theaters and malls around the country to protest the slasher flick.

In response, TriStar Pictures, the film’s distributor, pulled all advertising for the movie a week after its release on November 15, 1984. Shortly after that, the film was withdrawn from theaters altogether. 33 years later, one of the most controversial films of the ’80s is back in a brand new high-definition Blu-ray release! Scream Factory’s two-disc collector’s edition comes with a new 4K transfer restored from the original film negative and hours of newly produced bonus material.

Netflix has a new holiday flick on the way, and they’ve grabbed The Thing, Big Trouble in Little China, Tombstone, and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 star Kurt Russell to play Saint Nick himself, Santa Claus.

The movie doesn’t have a title yet, but will follow a pair of siblings who decide to prove Santa exists by catching him on camera. Instead, they end up accidentally causing Santa to crash his sleigh, and must help to save Christmas.

The next bit of marketing for Deadpool 2 involves quite the interesting offer for fans who will be attending Brazil Comic-Con.

A video has been released of the Merc with a Mouth himself (Ryan Reynolds) presenting the proposal: a very free but very permanent new Deadpool tattoo. They even share the tattoo options you can choose from!

If you’re a superfan, are going to Brazil Comic-Con, and this is something you’d be interested in doing, continue below to watch the video and find out how to reserve a spot. For everyone else, the video is, as you’d expect, definitely still worth watching.
