Seth Rogen is rebooting The Littlest Hobo — yes, really.

Dan Brown has thoughts. A lot of them. The new version can work, but only if it remembers what made the original Canadian TV classic special: a real dog, sincere storytelling, memorable guest stars, and absolutely no wink-at-the-camera irony.

Some actors are so super, one superhero role just isn’t enough.

Jason Momoa went from ruling Atlantis as Aquaman to joining the DC universe again as Lobo. Ryan Reynolds survived Green Lantern and became Deadpool. Ben Affleck traded Daredevil’s red leather for Batman’s cape. Robert Downey Jr. is going from Iron Man to Doctor Doom.

Comic book casting has become its own multiverse, where the right actor can get a second shot, a new mask, and sometimes an even bigger role.

Dan Brown looks at the super actors behind our superheroes — and why fans are often willing to cheer them all over again.

Are we alone? And more importantly… is the new Disclosure Day movie the Close Encounters of the Third Kind sequel we have been waiting almost 50 years for?

Steven Spielberg is heading back into alien territory, and Dan is ready to believe. This week’s L.A. Mood pop-culture column looks at Disclosure Day, the shadow of CE3K, flying saucers, childhood movie memories, and why Spielberg’s optimistic take on alien contact still matters.

Before streaming, before endless feeds, and before everyone had breaking news in their pocket, Ted Turner helped change how the world watched the news.

In his latest column, Dan Brown looks back at how CNN, a giant satellite dish in rural Ontario, and the first Gulf War helped turn him from a news ju**ie into a journalist.

It’s a personal tribute to the wild early days of 24-hour news, and a reminder that sometimes one channel can open up the whole world.
