Stan Against Evil Season 3 Preview

Published

on

“Stan Against Evil” is coming back this fall. I got the chance to return to Willard’s Mill early and watch the first 4 episodes of Season 3 and let me tell you, the show comes out swinging! For those of you who don’t remember the finale of season 2, Stan and Evie have been left with the door between the land of the living and the land of the dead being ripped open for all sorts of havoc to run amok. Season 3 picks up immediately where we left off and right when you think we have a new status quo with an end of the world setting, the show takes a hard-left turn into a story with smaller but more personal stakes. This makes sense since SAE has shown in its previous season that not only is it is not afraid to zig when you are expecting it to zag but that the show is at its best when keeping the focus on the relationship between the lovably crotchety Stan and the level headed and constantly flustered Evie.

For any fans that were expecting a shift in tone or a major shakeup of the storytelling structure, that is not quite the case here. There is a long running plot including a new villain that further complicates things and the building of a rift between Stan and Evie that builds off of last season. But, like last season, this is manly kept to the background while the dynamic duo deal with new threats in the foreground in a more episodic nature. This is where “Stan Against Evil” lives and in hindsight makes it the obvious choice for how to continue the show. This may disappoint some who were looking for a bit more permanent change of course but trust me when I tell you that the dividends this yields in the following episodes pay off and then some. Keeping to the familiar structure allows SAE to maintain the tone and pacing that worked so well in season 2 while getting even more ambitious with the jokes and references. For real guys, this season feels like someone let Dana Gould’s imagination off of the leash and it is running rampant on some glorious, insane, pull out all the stops rampage. I feel like a green lantern ring is going to show up at some point because this show has lost any fear it may have once had of being too weird and the show is all the funnier for it. The episode featuring David Koechner as a moth monster in particular is an amazing Kaiju send up and rises to the level of “Curse of the Werepony” in regard to my personal favorite episodes. I was dying with laughter during the “final battle” sequence of the episode and I think it will easily be a fan favorite of the series.

New villain “Horus” adds some suspense and mystery of his intent towards our dynamic duo

With what I have seen, this season is well on it’s way to being the best season this show has produced. “Stan Against Evil” still has the goods so load up on your “Stump” beer and make sure you mark your calendars for the Halloween Premiere!

Until next time Stan Fans,

May the Owls Abide!

Stan Against Evil Airs October 31st on @IFC Wednesday at 10pm.

DISNEY+ CASTS DANIEL DIEMER AS FAN-FAVORITE ‘TYSON’IN SEASON TWO OF “PERCY JACKSON AND THE OLYMPIANS”

Published

on

 in Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con, Rick Riordan and Disney+ revealed that Daniel Diemer (“Under the Bridge”) will star as fan-favorite cyclops “Tyson” in the epic adventure series “Percy Jackson and the Olympians.” Diemer joins Walker Scobell (Percy Jackson), Leah Sava Jeffries (Annabeth Chase) and Aryan Simhadri (Grover Underwood) as a series regular. The Disney+ Original series from Disney Branded Television and 20th Television will start filming its second season next week in Vancouver.

Season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is based on the second installment of Disney Hyperion’s best-selling book series titled “The Sea of Monsters” by award-winning author Rick Riordan. In the new season, Percy Jackson returns to Camp Half-Blood one year later to find his world turned upside down. His friendship with Annabeth is changing, he learns he has a cyclops for a brother, Grover has gone missing, and camp is under siege from the forces of Kronos. Percy’s journey to set things right will take him off the map and into the deadly Sea of Monsters, where a secret fate awaits the son of Poseidon.

Diemer stars as Tyson – a young Cyclops who grew up all alone on the streets, and finds it difficult to survive in the human world.  Shy and awkward, with a heart almost as big as he is, Tyson soon discovers that Poseidon is his father, which means Percy Jackson is his half-brother… and that Tyson may have finally found a home. 

Diemer recently starred in the Hulu limited series “Under the Bridge” based off the critically acclaimed book of the same name and a tragic true story of a missing teen girl in Vancouver in 1997. He will next star in the indie “Thug” opposite Liam Neeson and Ron Perlman for director Hans Petter Moland. Daniel was recently seen as the lead in the indie “Supercell” opposite Alec Baldwin and Skeet Ulrich and the lead in the film “Little Brother” opposite Phil Ettinger and JK Simmons. Daniel can also be seen in the Netflix series “The Midnight Club” and recently starred as the male lead in the breakout hit Netflix feature “The Half Of It” from producer Anthony Bregman and director Alice Wu. He is a graduate of Victoria Academy of Dramatic Arts in Vancouver.

Created by Rick Riordan and Jonathan E. Steinberg, season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is executive produced by Steinberg and Dan Shotz alongside Rick Riordan, Rebecca Riordan, Craig Silverstein, The Gotham Group’s Ellen Goldsmith-Vein, Bert Salke, The Gotham Group’s Jeremy Bell and D.J.
