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
Read MoreI 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
Read MoreIn the words of Bob Dylan, “the times, they are a’changin,” a sentiment that rings true in Doctor Who. The series has always adapted and embraced change, as the show’s central pillar hinges on the baton’s passing from one Doctor to another. However, Doctor Who has gone through its biggest regeneration, as the partnership between the BBC and Disney has finally
Read MoreIf you’re around my age or younger, chances are the Percy Jackson books were a part of your childhood. Written by Rick Riordan, the initial pentalogy launched in 2005 with The Lightning Thief, but has since spawned a slew of spin-off series.

Read MoreI had a blast at Los Angeles Comic Con 2023, especially when it came to the Ahsoka panel with Natasha Liu Bordizzo, Eman Esfandi, Ivanna Sakhno, and Diana Lee Inosanto. The quartet of actors took to the main stage on the show floor to answer everyone’s burning questions about the Star Wars Disney+ series! In this Ahsoka panel breakdown (the second
Read MoreThere was so much to see and do at Los Angeles Comic Con 2023, but my most anticipated event was the Ahsoka panel with Natasha Liu Bordizzo, Eman Esfandi, Ivanna Sakhno, and Diana Lee Inosanto. These actors weren’t allowed to promote the series when it launched due to the (absolutely necessary) SAG-AFTRA strike, so everyone was thrilled to hear them discuss
Read MoreThe Doctor might be an era-hopping, space-traversing Time Lord, but he is still quintessentially British and that means that he loves his tea and biscuits (that’s cookies for you Americans). And his favorite biscuit for tea time is a nice jammie dodger. What is a jammie dodger you say? It’s a shortbread sandwich cookie, I mean biscuit, that is layered with
Read MoreAs the year is coming to a close, so is the 60th anniversary celebration for Doctor Who. The wait for the return of this long-running sci-fi series felt like forever, but the new David Tennant-led specials have been worth it. With the third special, “The Giggle”, Tennant’s time as the Doctor is coming to an end before Ncuti Gatwa takes over
Read MoreWell Whovians, we’ve nearly made it. We’re at just under a week until Doctor Who has returned to our screens with the first of three-anniversary specials, celebrating 60 years of sci-fi glory. If that wasn’t monumental enough to tune in, the specials also feature the return of David Tennant as The Doctor and Catherine Tate of Donna Noble. For fans of
