What do you get when you mix an angel, a demon, the Antichrist, some prophecies, and a pesky little thing called the apocalypse? Good Omens of course! Beginning as a novel by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman, the Prime Video series tells the tale of the angel Aziraphale (Michael Sheen) and a demon from Hell, Crowley (David Tennant), as they work together to stop the
Read MoreAfter months of buzz, the live-action Barbie movie finally hit theaters this weekend, and we’re diving deep into this episode of the Cosmic Circle. The world’s most famous doll has been brought to life by writer-director Greta Gerwig and her professional partner Noah Baumbach. After seeing the massively successful box office, it’s safe to say we’re in a Barbie world. On this episode of the Cosmic Circle, we’re
Read MoreLater this week, Harley Quinn makes a long-awaited return after some worry that the hit series could be cancelled like several other DC shows on Max and CW. Happily, Harley Quinn season 4 is about to release on Max, with Kaley Cuoco voicing Harley along with her girlfriend/partner-in-crime Poison Ivy voiced Lake Bell.

While the first season’s finale left us with many unanswered questions about the future, this special episode takes a step back into the past. Away we go from Mark Grayson to tell the
Read MoreOppenheimer director Christopher Nolan is one of my favorite filmmakers. He has consistently pushed the boundaries of large-format filmmaking since shooting several sequences with IMAX cameras with The Dark Knight and is always at the forefront of crafting one-of-a-kind, towering cinematic experiences. Even his weakest movie, 2020’s Tenet, deserves praise for its insane practical action and inverted one-on-one fights. You’ll never see anything quite like it

Radiant is the Blood of the Baboon Heart, the grand finale to the epic 7-season, 20-year saga, is now streaming on VOD platforms for all to enjoy. But did co-creators Christopher McCulloch and Doc Hammer stick the landing to their life-long passion project? After years of building up questions,
Read MoreThe Barbie movie has taken the world by storm. From its extensive (and impeccable) marketing campaign to the powerhouse creatives behind the film, Barbie became a cultural phenomenon long before it landed in theaters last night. Through it all, it’s been very clear that Greta Gerwig has approached the Barbie brand in a way no one quite expected. I’m pleased to say that the film

From nightmare hellscapes, to the hellish City of the Dead, to the city that never sleeps, there’s something for everyone this week with a strong emphasis on scary (but not actually horror, I just want to make that distinction). Come along and escape reality for a little while with me, my friends, to check out the new comics for
