Angus MacGyver is back for three webisodes!  In MacGyver and the New Citan, Mac is up to his nose in another adventure, courtesy of Mercedes-Benz, who with the help of our beloved hero, helps promote the company’s new Citan, which they bill as “the perfect tool for every job.”

After the hushed rumors for months and then the huge buzz created by the recently leaked Comic Con footage, it has finally arrived. The holy grail for 80’s horror fans, The Evil Dead, has been remade and the trailer has finally been released.

With Brian on temporary assignment, this installment finds Dion and J dissecting Asylum Pictures, the new CBS series based on Sherlock Holmes called Elementary, and the shocking news of a slated Justice League film, without any set prequels to ignite the franchise.
