This week, Dominic and Keith break down the midpoint of the 2019 summer movie blockbuster season. http://traffic.libsyn.com/thenerdsofcolor/HNL150.mp3 While Avengers: Endgame broke box office records before summer even started, the rest of the field has failed to live up to the hype. According to Box Office Mojo, the total domestic box office is lagging behind 2018 […]

Remember how Clint Barton became a serial killer after his entire family was snapped out of existence by Thanos? What if, instead of losing his soul and going on an international murder spree, Hawkeye had found another, less destructive means of dealing with his emotions? Well, Jeremy Renner just gave us an idea of what that might have looked like. Or better yet, sounded like, because the actor just released a song… and we don’t know why.

After a tease Thursday on Twitter that felt like it had to be a clever way to promote an upcoming role (or literally anything else that makes sense), it turns out Renner really did record his own version of Sam Feldt’s “Heaven Don’t Have a Name.” And it’s… totally fine! This is, by any objective standard, a perfectly okay song that you might hear on a pop radio station. But what makes this (somehow) even weirder is that Renner sang backup on the original in 2018.

So this is an actor’s cover of a song he was already was featured on, released with no context.

What the **** is happening?



Is that title an oxymoron? Is this a new genre of music known as “Dad in Crisis?” Is Jeremy Renner, a talented and successful actor who is part of the most successful movie franchise in the world, okay? Is he okay?

Look, these are all good, important questions, and if anyone can answer them for us please do. We’d also like to know more about why no one ever told us about his previous forays into the recording studio, like when he did a cover of a Crash Test Dummies’ song for Tag‘s end credits.

Uh, we don’t think that’s supposed to be funny, since Renner includes it on his Spotify page. JEREMY RENNER HAS A SPOTIFY PAGE. Which is how we now know about his cover of “House of the Rising Sun.”

And doooooown the rabbit hole we go.

Somebody please go check on Jeremy Renner for us, because while Ronin’s reign of terror was unforgivable, at least it made sense.

Earlier this month we found out Game of Thrones was going to hold the very rarely seen “two-month reunion,” with a Hall H panel at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con. Two very big names were not expected to be a part of that celebration – showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss. That wasn’t exactly a surprise. The two co-creators, who told the world they were going to hide from the internet after the series finale, have not been heard from since the show ended with a divisive finale that ended a frequently criticized last season. But now, in what qualifies as a minor stunner, HBO has announced that the pair will be in attendance at the pop culture event of the year.

The network announced it will host three Hall H panels at this year’s event. Alongside the Game of Thrones (Friday, July 19 at 5:30 p.m), there will also be ones for their upcoming adaptation of His Dark Materials (Thursday, July 18 at 4:45 p.m) and Westworld (Saturday, July 20 at 1:15 p.m.). HBO also says fans should “keep a look out around the Gaslamp Quarter for a surprise in-world opportunity to engage” with their new Watchmen series.

In addition to the panels, each show will hold an autograph session. You can find information for all of them, as well as who will appear at the other two panels, below.

The biggest news though is that Benioff and Weiss will be joining Jacob Anderson (Grey Worm), John Bradley (Samwell Tarly), Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Jaime Lannister), Liam Cunningham (Davos Seaworth), Nathalie Emmanuel (Missandei of Naath), Iain Glen (Ser Jorah Mormont), Conleth Hill (Varys), Maisie Williams (Arya Stark), Isaac Hempstead Wright (Bran Stark), and director Miguel Sapochnik on stage. We don’t know who will host the panel, or if the showrunners will address the criticisms of the series finale that they both wrote and direct, but we can’t wait to find out

If you do go though, remember you’re only upset because you loved something they created, and they didn’t have to attend at all. So maybe don’t ask Benioff and Weiss to sign yours “Sorry.”
