Legend of the White Dragon: Jason David Frank’s Last Farewell

A disgraced superhero hides from the city he failed while a rival schemes for the same power in Legend of the White Dragon. It’s a rough, re-edited passion project, but Jason David Frank’s sincerity makes it worth a look.

The Legend of the White DragonWell GO USA

The Legend of the White Dragon is one of those passion projects made a few years ago that was thought to be shelved, but is now finally available to view. It’s streaming now and will be released on home video in October. What began as an idea between Aaron Schoenke (from the YouTube web series Superpower Beat Down) and Jason David Frank (Power Rangers) evolved into a superhero-style narrative about a hero who screwed up big-time and is trying to save face. That’s hard to do when nearly everyone hates Virtuo City’s favorite superhero, hence the film’s title.

When this hero, Erik Reed (Frank), fails to avert a disaster and thousands of lives are lost, he’s hardly seen as virtuous. His secret identity is exposed, and not even his family is safe. Remember that old adage never to reveal your face, lest the bad guys target your loved ones? Well, that’s what this movie explores too. Although no one in the Reed family is safe, this outcast lives away from the public eye. It seems that unless he’s brought to justice, nobody is going to feel secure.

A 2026 Paranormal TV Guide. It’s All Yuks From Here (Part Two)

There’s not much originality to be found in this year’s 2026 Paranormal TV Guide unless you want your comedy front and center!

2026 Paranormal TV Guide and Chibi Ed, Scooby and Gang Sadly as we look at what’s new in this 2026 Paranormal TV Guide, there’s honestly not much to be excited over. It’s all a been there done that formula, but with other talents filling in on the role others did before, like Conjuring Ke$ha, which didn’t last beyond a year. At least I can say the slight focus on Canada’s own haunts helps make this list stand out over the usual.

There’s more one trick ponies vying for a piece of the pie and that’s a shame. This year, the top four contenders that fit the bill are:

Sam & Colby versus Canada’s Own:
Luke Hutchie and Matthew Finlan’s Ghosting

Luke Hutchie and Matthew Finlan's GhostingWhen we’re watching personalities interact with the unknown, whether they’re young newbies or old veterans, the value depends on what they do and whether viewers care about their narrative. That’s where many current streaming options land. Sam & Colby, for example, teeter between seeming genuine and playing Internet schmucks with a huge following, à la Wayne’s World. Their approach contrasts sharply with Ghosting, the supernatural parody on CBC Gem starring Luke Hutchie and Matthew Finlan.

Sorry, boys, but I’d rather watch this self-aware Canadian comedy. By filming in my hometown and visiting Craigdarroch Castle, they’re helping cement the legacy of some famed haunts. Mixing fact with fiction earns them a strike, though. When they don’t take the craft of paranormal investigation seriously, it’s hard to take the show seriously. At least they have far more charisma than their American counterparts.

Another detail worth noting is that Ghosting is a Blue Ant Studios production. CBC’s own materials bill it outright as a “paranormal comedy.” It’s free on CBC Gem, and season 2, which premiered in March 2025, brought in celebrity guests like Percy Hynes White, Priyanka and Joel Oulette. At the time of writing, there’s no word on whether another season will be offered.

A 2026 Paranormal TV Guide: Is Anything Spooky Good Playing Anymore? (Part One)

The answer is yes, on streaming, but on the broadcast front, it’s the same ol’ same ol for returning shows. As for the newer stuff, we have our thoughts on what’s coming in this year’s Paranormal TV Guide.

Chibi Ed caught pretending to be a ghost by the Scooby gang Paranormal TV GuideChasing after ghosts from the safety of television has never really gone away. Ever since Most Haunted, it has changed shape and purpose. In this 2026 paranormal TV guide, many of these shows can be billed as tourist traps playing out on screen, designed to drum up business rather than save beleaguered people who don’t want these ghosts around.

A Killer 10 Year Reunion: Deathgasm II Goremageddon’s Metal Mayhem Is Just That!

Deathgasm II Goremageddon reunites Brodie with his bandmates from beyond the grave in a louder, bloodier sequel. Its romance keeps the chaos grounded, though newcomers will need to see the first film to follow along.

Deathgasm II Goremageddon
Also available to stream on Apple TV beginning Oct 13

It’s been eleven long years since Deathgasm hit screens, and since then, the film has earned legendary cult status. For some fans, they wanted more and despite a long wait, we finally have a sequel. When Deathgasm II Goremageddon was made a little over a year ago and released to its crowdfunding backers, I’m sure those of us who missed out were sad. But I come bering good news: this movie is getting special screenings across Canada and the USA this week! We can all scream out a famous a catch-phrase from long ago: “It’s a good rockin’ tonight!”

With a film fine tuned for the masses, it’s louder, cruder and perhaps even bloodier than I remember. Admittedly, I had to rewatch the first film before seeing this one, and I can confirm a lot has changed. Everyone’s grown older, greyer and maybe fatter.

Break Blade Vol 1, Celebrating 20 Years of a Mecha Manga Classic

Born without magic in a world powered by quartz, Rygart Arrow is drawn into a war that pits old friends against each other. Titan Manga’s release of Break Blade Vol 1 is not just a reintroduction to English-language readers but also an anniversary celebration!

Break Blade Vol. 1Titan Manga
On Sale: Dec. 15, 2026
Preorder Volume One on Amazon USA

Celebrating two decades since its Japanese debut, Break Blade Vol. 1 introduces a new generation of readers to the acclaimed mecha saga that inspired a six-part theatrical anime series and a 12-episode television adaptation. Written and illustrated by Yunosuke Yoshinaga, the manga offers more than just another military fantasy that includes piloting giant mechs. Titan Manga’s release gives English-language readers a chance to discover the story from the beginning.

In this world, magic isn’t used to cast spells. Instead, it lets people give life to “sentient” quartz mined from beneath the earth. This crystal has become the foundation of civilisation, powering machinery, transportation and enormous combat robots called Golems. And no, there’s no dodging the Gundam comparisons. The military forces of each nation rely on these machines as their primary weapons, leaving people born without magic as social and economic outcasts.

Top 10 Fall Animated Series on Streaming Worth Watching (Part Two)

In Part Two, Chibi Ed is all cozy for the next round Fall animated series to enjoy! With returning favourites and something new, he’s not leaving the comfort of home anytime soon.

Fall Animated Series with EdIn part two, I look at series set to stream or screen from October onwards. Although the Fall animated series I want to watch is specific, these are the shows I am more excited for than others. (Sorry Futurama)

Topping the list is the return to the world of Avatar, and no, I’m not talking about the James Cameron product! Instead, it’s the animated series to which fans of will finally get to see an exciting chapter not only for Aang in a cinematic release, but also the successor to Korra so we can find out how reincarnation works.

Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender
and Seven Havens

Avatar Aang- The Last Airbender Oct 9, 2026
Studio/production: Avatar Studios / Nickelodeon Animation
Streaming: Paramount+ | New series

Synopsis: This entry covers and counts as two separate two Avatar projects that expand the franchise in different directions. The new Avatar: The Last Airbender series returns to a hero many fans grew up with, while Avatar: Seven Havens introduces the next incarnation after Korra. Pavi is a young Earthbender who inherits the Avatar mantle in an era that sees her as humanity’s destroyer rather than its saviour.

Alongside her long-lost twin, she must uncover the truth about her origins and save the Seven Havens. And in what makes the new series special is in how it brings South Indian cultural elements into its setting and visual identity. Together, the two series make Avatar one of the fall’s major animated events.
