For me, Rick and Morty season 4 had been a bit of a muddled mess. It contained some of my favorite episodes of the series with “The Vat of Acid Episode” and “The Old Man and the Seat,” but simultaneously had some of my least favorite episodes like “Childrick of Mort” and “Star Mort Rickturn of the Jerri.” Well, Rick and
Read MoreBased on the original movie of the same name, What We Do In The Shadows continues to serve as a worthy successor to its cinematic predecessor. The spin-off series follows a group of vampires as old as civilization itself, who’ve found themselves planted down in the modern-day Staten Island. The third season picks up just a month after the second ended,
Read MoreShang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is the first Marvel Studios origin film since the radical universe-altering events of Avengers: Endgame and Loki. Before director Destin Daniel Cretton took this job, he was primarily known for grounded true-story dramas like Short Term 12, The Glass Castle, and Just Mercy. Cretton is the latest in a line of Marvel directors transitioning from
Read MoreA new IMDB listing under the stunts section of The Flash has indicated that Martian Manhunter actor, Harry Lennix, may make a return as the infamous Justice League member in the upcoming DC blockbuster. IMDB has been a notorious location in the past for giving away secret appearances in movies and tv shows, such as Jonathan Majors appearance in the final episode
Read MoreThere are few movies as impactful and defining for me as 1982’s Blade Runner. I recently mentioned the Ridley Scott film when talking about its similarities to the recently released Reminiscence, and I haven’t been able to get it off my brain since then. While my love for the Denis Villeneuve sequel — Blade Runner 2049 — is unquestionable and unfaltering,
Read MoreEver since Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn debuted in David Ayer’s Suicide Squad, she has been an undeniable fan favorite. Now that her most recent venture as the character has passed with James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad premiering earlier this month, here I’ll look forward and talk about where I want to see this character go in the near future. Sometime around
Read MoreReminiscence seemed like exactly my kind of thing — drama, love story, sci-fi — it’s all there. Even just watching the trailer, I could tell it took after one of the most interesting films ever: Blade Runner. Reminiscence might be interesting, but for all the wrong reasons. Spoilers for Reminiscence below, final warning! Reminiscence follows a man named Nick (Hugh Jackman),
Read MoreDue to the ongoing pandemic, television has looked a little different with how productions film and release their shows, and Superman & Lois is no exception. Many of the Arrowverse shows had started and stopped through the entire 2020-2021 television season because filming under the new protocols for safety is taking much longer than anticipated. At least, that was the reason
Read MoreEver since the Falcon & The Winter Soldier finale and the coinciding news that there was a Captain America 4 in the works, I have been thinking and theorizing about what something like that might entail. Being a 6 episode series as opposed to a 2 hour or so film, they had a lot more opportunities to explore a lot more
Read MoreEditor’s note: This is a guest review that was written by David Meyers, who saw Shang-Chi and The Legend of the Ten Rings at a special early screening for fans. The review contains only mild spoilers, if that, for the film. Marvel is focused on the future. After the prequel of Black Widow, Marvel Studios has released its first front-facing movie
Read MoreAs we prepare ourselves for episode two of Disney+ What If…?, it feels that there is no proper way to say goodbye to the King of Wakanda (and our hearts) as fans prepare for one final ride alongside Chadwick Boseman’s T’Challa. The episode doesn’t even air until tomorrow, and just hearing his voice again in the trailer has already proved to
Read MoreEarlier this year, Netflix dipped its toes into the Grishaverse with the release of Shadow and Bone, Season 1.
