Hello and welcome to another edition of Things That Happened The Week Of which was the week after E3 so we all just start looking forward to SDCC.
E3 was fun and all but I was pretty much exhausted with all the video game coverage going on at the time and so was pretty much everyone else as this week we got not just one but two huge info drops on big movies coming out. This came off the heels on the unfortunate and accidental passing of Anton Yelchin. We also found out that Ivan Reitman is working on a Ghostbusters cartoon which will only piss off 50% of the fanbase and it was both the Nintendo 64 and Sonic’s birthdays this week turning 20 and 25 respectively. Fables is returning as a series and much much more went on this week right below. Enjoy!
