Based on how much time has gone by its almost amazing to recall that it was back in October of 2020 that we first shared some news about the upcoming Walt Disney Pictures film “Raya and The Last Dragon” but it was. Time seems to be moving very slowly at the moment so if you missed that trailer post just click HERE to be on point since that was a fun teaser. Now its time to look at the Official Trailer and as before I’ve added the premise, casting and some more artwork for you to enjoy. See you at the close.

The Premise: Long ago, in the world of Kumandra, humans and dragons lived together in harmony. But when sinister monsters known as the Druun threatened the land, the dragons sacrificed themselves to save humanity. Now, 500 years later, those same monsters have returned and it’s up to a lone warrior, Raya, and her pet pill bug companion Tuk Tuk, to track down the last dragon in order to finally stop the Druun for good. However, along her journey, she’ll learn that it’ll take more than dragon magic to save the world—it’s going to take trust as well.

Presenting The 38th AVN Awards Winners Rundown

With the majority of the world still dealing with being under quarantine as the dreaded Coronavirus Pandemic continues to rule with its terrible fist, I’m continuing to showcase any of the awards show rundowns that I learn have happened. This past year of 2020 found me introducing ones that I’ve never heard about before but would gladly add to the context of our historical archive. The AVN Awards have never been documented here before and since a big story last year was that the Pornhub service was giving away free memberships to those of age in order to keep people home. For sure it was a clever means to build up memberships and advise people to interact outside a lot less. This is found me opting to include the recently announced winners for “The Oscars of Adult Film” and I hope that those of you who follow the industry enjoy this winners list inclusion. Let’s go.
