On Saturday evening of Comic-Con@Home, director/writer/pop culture mascot Kevin Smith held his annual An Evening With Kevin Smith panel, where he talked for an hour about his life, movies, and whatever. And he got bleeped (almost) every time he cursed, which was a lot.

In total, throughout the 57 minute and 41 second panel, Smith was bleeped a total of 113 times. If you’ve ever been to one of these events, you know that Smith doesn’t censor himself while talking. He lets the curses fly, and why shouldn’t he? He’s made a living crafting fantastically fun moments of dialogue revolving around 37 acts of fellacio (in a row?), overweight men in Batman costumes “flying,” and transactional songs for purchasing marjiuana that open with numerous mentions of slang for coitus.

And even though YouTube doesn’t have guidelines for cussin’, Smith was bleeped every moment a four or five or twelve letter swear word came out of his mouth. Within the first two minutes of his panel, Smith was bleeped seven times, averaging 3.5 bleeps per minute (BPM) or 210 beeps per hour. At 11 minutes, Smith wracked up 36 bleeps, and he had slowed a bit to 3.27 BPM.

EA’s UFC franchise is back this year with UFC 4 and it’s shaping up to be a punishingly powerful entry in the series. EA is making a series of major changes to the gameplay this year, improving and expanding on striking, grappling, takedowns, and the clinch game. Additionally, UFC 4 brings in EA’s own Real-Player Motion technology from Madden, FIFA, and NHL to provide a more authentic representation of MMA cage matches.

GameSpot recently caught up with creative director Brian Hayes, who dove deep into the numerous gameplay improvements this year. He says the changes to the clinch game will be immediately recognizable and very impactful, while players should appreciate the improvements that EA has made to submissions and striking, Hayes said.

Also in the interview, Hayes spoke about why UFC has parted ways with commentator Joe Rogan, who calls fight in real life for the UFC. “He hasn’t been shy about saying this on his own podcast like he hates doing it,” Hayes said.

Saturday during a very special What We Do In The Shadows panel for Comic-Con@Home, executive producer and writer Paul Simms teased some things fans can look forward to for the show’s upcoming Season 3–and, unsurprisingly, it sounds both hilarious and ridiculous.

“Everyone in the show has had their various dealings with love,” prompted moderator Haley Joel Osment, who guest starred in Season 2 as a familiar-turned-zombie-turned-corpse (RIP). “Can we expect to see something like that for Nandor in the future?”

“It’s almost as if he’s looking at the big bulletin board that I’ve got right in front of me,” Simms joked, referencing something just out of view of his webcam. “Obviously Nandor is lonely.”

The wait for the new Guillermo Del Toro produced horror movie, Antlers, may be longer than expected thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, but the film’s Comic-Con@Home panel helped to take the edge off, if only a little. Before the panel got started in earnest with both Del Toro and director Scott Cooper, fans were treated to a behind-the-scenes featurette that dug deep into the mythology and creation of the movie’s monstrous antagonist: The mythological Wendigo.

While the most prominent representation of a “Wendigo” in pop culture may be the skeletal (and entirely metaphorical) creature in NBC’s Hannibal, the actual folklore behind the creature reaches much deeper. Born from Native American history, Wendigos are allegorical spirits that “come to reconcile what people are doing incorrectly,” First Nations consultant Chris Eyre explains in the video. Take a look at the featurette–and the complete panel–bellow.

“All this rage, all this abuse, incarnates. It’s like an invocation for this creature,” Del Toro added. “It’s truly powerful, what we do to nature, what we do to each other. It is a metaphor made flesh.”
