‘Madame Web’ Review: Sony’s Half-Baked ‘Doctor Strange’ Parody

Uday Kataria ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  5 min read

Sony’s ever-expanding Spider-Man Universe continues with Madame Web, the franchise’s first female-led film and the first to feature actual spider-people as main characters. Dakota Johnson stars as Cassandra Webb, a clairvoyant paramedic trying to save three teenage girls from being murdered. While Madame Web teases exciting developments for the future of Sony’s cinematic universe, its sloppy and painfully generic execution pretty

Uday Kataria ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  10 min read

Echo has kicked off Marvel Studios’ 2024 slate with a violent bang. The Alaqua Cox-led series brings many firsts for the MCU. It’s the first Marvel Studios series to be rated TV-MA; the first to drop all its episodes at once; the first to stream simultaneously on Disney+ and Hulu; and it’s the first project (outside of an episode of What

‘Echo’ Review: An Intimate and Gritty Marvel Experience

Guest Author ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  5 min read

I was both intrigued and worried when Echo was announced to be a streaming series (a spin-off of 2021’s Hawkeye, starring Jeremy Renner and Hailee Steinfeld). How will Marvel Studios explore Maya Lopez’s (Alaqua Cox) Native American heritage? Will they somehow clean up Maya’s villainous characteristics from the comics? How will they tell a story with characters who do not communicate

Review: ‘Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom’ Ends The DCEU In Disaster

James Preston Poole ,  ,  ,  ,  6 min read

Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom begins promisingly enough. The DC and Warner Bros. logos are given a crusty, underwater makeover that gets you in the right mood. As a group of mercenaries prepares to do their dirty work, Arthur Curry/Aquaman (Jason Momoa) stares them down. His gaze grows steely. Ass-kicking is certainly in store. Only- the scene cuts to Arthur smashing two

Cosmic Psychologist: Grief, Loss, and ‘The Marvels’

Brian Kitson ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  8 min read

Since the closing films of Phase 3 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, there’s been one unifying theme connecting most, if not all of the projects. No, it’s not the multiverse, although that is also threaded through so many of the films and series in Phases 4 and 5. It’s the idea of grief and loss that began with Avengers: Infinity War.
