In the United States, this is the time of year when Hollywood virtually shuts down and people leave town to visit family and friends. Plus, the staff here at The Flickcast actually has family and friends as well and many of them are doing the same.

So, for the next week or so we will have a reduced posting schedule. Of course, if anything big happens, we’ll bring it to you. Also, be sure to look for our “Best of 2011″ articles covering movies, TV, comics, games and all things geek before the end of the year as well.

In the meantime, from all of us here at The Flickcast, we wish all of you the very best for this holiday season and happiness, health and luck for 2012.

Today is a holiday here in the United States which honors those who, well, labor. So, to commemorate this great feat, we will be giving the fine folks who write this site the day off. Expect to see a few articles today, but not as many as we usually bring you.

Of course, if something major happens, we will bring it to you. Otherwise, expect our usual brand of humor, articles, interviews, reviews and more to return refreshed and ready to roll tomorrow.

We wish you a happy holiday and we’ll see you on the other side.

As many of you know, it’s a holiday weekend here in the U S of A. That means all around the country people are getting together for food, fun, sun and the adult beverages of their choice to celebrate our independence day.

This seemed like as good a weekend as any to give the hard working staff here at The Flickcast some much deserved time off. We’ve got quite a few things coming up over the next few months, including the big one called Comic-Con in San Diego, so we’re going to take it easy this weekend.

Consequently, our posting schedule over the weekend and on Monday, the actual 4th of July, will be much lighter than usual. If a big story breaks, we’ll bring it to you. Otherwise, we’ll be back to our version of normal on Tuesday, July 5th.

Happy 4th of July weekend to those of you who celebrate it. For the rest, enjoy your weekend.

To add to the fun, we’ve included a little video to help set the mood. Click through to check it out.

Thanks for reading and we’ll see you on Tuesday.

It’s a holiday here in the United States and a day we remember all the men and women of our armed forces who’ve paid the ultimate price for our freedom. Because of this and because we like to let the writers have some time off occasionally, we’ll have a reduced posting schedule today and will resume our normal schedule tomorrow.

To our readers in the U.S., have a great holiday. For the rest of you from other countries, thanks for reading and we’ll see you tomorrow when everything is back to normal around here. Well, as normal as it gets anyway.

In the United States, this is the time of year when Hollywood virtually shuts down and people leave town to visit family and friends. Plus, the staff here at The Flickcast actually has family and friends as well and many of them are doing the same.

So, for the next two weeks we will have a reduced posting schedule. Of course, if anything big happens, we’ll bring it to you. Also, be sure to check out a brand new episode of the Podcast tomorrow and look for our “Best of 2010″ articles covering movies, TV, comics, games and all things geek before the end of the year as well.

In the meantime, from all of us here at The Flickcast, we wish all of you the very best for this holiday season and happiness, health and luck for 2011.

This week is a holiday week here in the United States and as a result we’re giving the staff a bit of time off to celebrate with family and friends. So, that means we’ll have a reduced schedule for today and for the rest of the week.

Also, due to travel schedules and such we won’t be having a podcast this week either. Sorry folks. That will return next week as well.

Of course, if breaking news happens, we’ll bring it to you. Otherwise, expect to see us back to normal (or our version of it) on Monday, November 29th.

We wish all of you who celebrate this holiday the very best. Happy Thanksgiving.

Every once in a while, Chris and Matt go off and gallivant, leaving their hosting duties in the dust for a brief period of time. That may be the case this week, but we didn’t want to leave you hanging.

Of course, if something major happens over the weekend, we will bring it to you. Otherwise, expect our usual brand of humor, articles, interviews, reviews and more to return refreshed and ready to roll next week.

Some of the team have already arrived and many more will be in San Diego shortly. We are, of course, here to cover the San Diego Comic-Con. To help bring you as much of the fun excitement, thrills, chills, tastes and smells of the Con we have a fearless team of intrepid reporters converging on the convention center who will be in San Diego for the next five days.

We plan on extensive coverage of all the events at the Con as well as our usual interviews, reviews, news, video and galleries that will help you join in all the exciting Con action. To follow along at home, look for our official Comic-Con Tag: SDCC10, as well as the usual Category of: Comic-Con.

For this week, our Comic-Con team consists of Matt Raub, Sebastian Suchecki, Elisabeth Rappe, Jennifer Tomooka, Cortney Zamm, John Carle, Erik Jensen, Diane Panosian, Joe Gillis and Chris Ullrich.

In addition, Shannon Hood, Bob Starr and Nat Almirall are manning The Flickcast Fortress to bring you even more info about the Con and other events throughout the week that our intrepid team on the ground can’t get to.

Be sure to follow our individual team members on Twitter as well for all of their own unique perspective and news on Comic-Con. With these folks, you never know what you’re going to get.
