Captain Jean-Luc Picard is one of the most beloved characters in the long history of Star Trek. His tactical skills, bravery, diplomatic talents and iron determination have cemented him as the mode of what a starship captain should be. So, how do you improve upon a character this well established and adored? You give him a cute as all hell dog, that’s how.
CBS has just released a new poster for Star Trek: Picard, showing Jean-Luc relaxing in the Picard vineyard alongside his new canine companion (who’s sporting a delightful Federation delta marked ‘1’ on his collar). This combination of Star Trek and dogs has naturally set the internet on fire, with fans all over the world collectively squealing over this new addition to the universe.
Here’s a selection of some of the reactions:
CBS Exec: Look, Picard is a beloved character, so this show should sell itself.

If you missed Matthew Holness' Possum last year (and word on the horror street is that it was one of the creepier releases of 2018), then you may want to circle February 12th on your calendar, because that is when Possum will be released on DVD from Dark Sky Films.
Press Release: A man trying to escape his past finds his past continually chasing him down in Possum, a chilling new horror film featuring a "quiet storm" of a lead performance by Mission: Impossible's Sean Harris. The film arrives on DVD from Dark Sky Films on February 12, 2019.
Philip, a disgraced children's puppeteer, returns to his dilapidated childhood home and lecherous stepfather, Maurice. Philip is intent on destroying "Possum,"a hideously malformed spider-puppet he carries with him in a brown leather case. Unfortunately, and horrifically, Possum refuses to be abandoned.
Philip's mind is flooded with painful half-memories and nightmarish visions,...

It remains to be seen if their laugh quotients will be higher or lower than their meager budgets, but you might be interested in viewing the trailers for four very low budget horror comedies in the works: Ghost Shark 2: Urban Jaws, Attack of the Indian Werewolf, The Creature from Lake Michigan, and Thems!
First up from New Zealand is Ghost Shark 2: Urban Jaws. Not a sequel, just a campy comedy from filmmakers Andrew Todd and Johnny Hal about a ghost shark terrorizing the good citizens of Auckland, New Zealand.
When Ghost Shark escapes from his extradimensional prison to terrorize Auckland, Mayor Broody calls in an expert ghost shark hunter to protect the citizens and finally defeat the creature.
Ghost Shark 2: Urban Jaws is now in production. Somewhere a Syfy executive is watching this trailer and wondering why it has to be a comedy.
