DVDanger: RWBY Volume 4

There's a stack of half-empty pizza boxes at Rooster Teeth. It's not leftovers from a production meeting, but the happy vestiges of a Make-a-Wish visit to the Austin-based online studio. It's all part of Barbara Dunkelman's job as the company's community manager, but it's not her only job around here.

Steve Adler Claps Back at Wonder Woman Hater

Mayor Steve Adler is usually characterized by those that know him as painfully polite and patient.

Drafthouse Wonder Woman Screenings Bring Out the Trolls

Whether it be Girlie Night screenings or Tough Guy Cinema, the Alamo Drafthouse has often taken a playful approach to gender in its booking philosophy. However, now it's riding high above some criticism that it's holding a women-only screening of Wonder Woman early next month.

Numbers Don't Lie, Film Rebates Work

With the Legislature's budget arguments almost done, the film, TV, and video-game industries nervously await the fate of the Texas Moving Image Industry Incentive Program (TMIIIP).

DVDanger: Beyond the Gates
