Coming off Sunday’s airing of Fear the Walking Dead’s 7A midseason finale, AMC’s long-running post-show, Talking Dead, paid tribute to concluded spinoff The Walking Dead: World Beyond, and touted a mystery guest, who turned out to be a remote-appearing Kim Dickens. However, the former Fear headliner wasn’t there to reminisce about her starring run, and came right out with the announcement for which fans have been waiting for three-and-half years, stating “Madison is back....

But what if we were wrong? What if the characters we thought we knew and understood were all a lie, secretly using their positions in the public trust to launch a world-dominating attack? That’s the central hook of Secret Invasion, a long-in-development Disney+ series that may have major repercussions for the MCU. The First Invasion As is often the case, the series takes its name from a previously published Marvel comic book....

Her latest role in Space Jam: A New Legacy adds another beloved title to her resume. She plays Kamiyah James, a character who is a force to be reckoned with and a reflection of the real life matriarch of the James family, Savannah James. The focus of A New Legacy is family, which allows Martin-Green’s Kamiyah to shine in the moments that call for her to show her dedication to her family and their well being....

With recent mass shootings in three states—California, Ohio, and Texas—still fresh, the current occupant of the White House and his allies jumped all over the film sight unseen, with President Donald Trump declaring it a “liberal fantasy” designed to “inflame and cause chaos.” The echo chamber effect of those words, combined with the sensitivity over the shootings, led an uneasy Universal to pull the film from its schedule and possibly consign it to permanent limbo....

Among The Mandalorian‘s many influences, at the top of the list is the classic Star Wars trilogy which started it all. Showrunner Jon Favreau, executive producer Dave Filoni, and the rest of the team have done a great job of incorporating lore from every era of the Star Wars saga in ways that make sense. Folding in elements fans know from A New Hope, for example, adds to the show’s sense of groundedness, showing us the weathered sci-fi locations that George Lucas made a staple of Star Wars while also picking up several loose threads unresolved after Return of the Jedi....

His wife Lori (Stone) dismisses the dreams, but it turns out they’re not dreams at all but memories: Quaid is actually a secret agent named Hauser who once worked for the governor of the Martian colony (Cox) but has had his memories wiped and replaced with false ones. Lori is not his wife at all, but an operative for the governor and the wife of Richter (Ironside), the governor’s ruthless fixer....

Bury Your Gays: A History aka When Queer Stories Don’t Include Happiness “Bury Your Gays” is the narrative trope that sees queer characters killed off at a disproportionate rate, often but not always in the service of furthering a straight lead characters’ storyline. The trope has been a particularly visible issue in the LGBTQ community since the days of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. In 2002’s Season 6, the lesbian couple of the show had just reconciled when the most random bullet in TV history struck Tara and killed her in front of girlfriend Willow....

The true crime docuseries fest gets started with Death in the Dorms on Jan. 5. That will be followed by How I Caught My Killer on Jan. 12, and Web of Death on Jan. 19. The first is a six-episode series that will follow the real life case of murders at UCLA, while the latter two will both present several different stories. It’s not just all true crime in January for Hulu....

Hulu’s list of new releases for March 2021 are relatively slight on Hulu originals. Thankfully, one beloved original of note is coming back this month. Solar Opposites will premiere all episodes of its second season on March 26. This sci-fi animated comedy from Rick and Morty co-creator Justin Roiland is a breath of fresh alien air. On the movie side of things, Hulu is premiering Boss Level on March 5....

Halloween…or rather Huluween is set to be a big deal for the streamer. This month sees a bevy of horror offerings. On the TV side of things, the series adaptation of Clive Barker’s Hellraiser premieres on Oct. 7. That will be accompanied by two animated specials from Solar Opposites co-creator Justin Roiland. The first is A Sinister Halloween Scary Opposites Solar Special on Oct. 3, which is followed by The Paloni Show!...

For starters, all of ABC and Fox’s (both now united under the Disney banner alongside Hulu) fall season offerings will be made available to stream on Hulu the next day. More impressively, however, two FX on Hulu originals make their way to the streaming world this month. The first is the long-awaited adaptation of the classic comic Y: The Last Man. The story of a virus that destroys every mammal with a Y-chromosome (save for one escape artist and his monkey) is set to premiere on September 13....

It’s an emotionally fraught conclusion. Before our very eyes, I Care a Lot’s protagonist—its ostensible hero—is bleeding out inside an asphalt parking lot. But then, was she or anyone else ever a hero in this story? Just seconds before she was gunned down, Rosamund Pike’s Marla Grayson is seen, smilingly lying about how great her new predatory company is, and how she’s figured out a way to turn elder abuse into a sanitized illusion of “eldercare....

Batwoman Season 2, Episode 13 Last week, Batwoman left Alice to fend for herself against the False Faces, after the two formed a temporary alliance to rescue Angelique and Ocean from the masked gang. Ryan’s choice not to help Alice escape Circe’s clutches may have been jarring for some, but Alice has always been a sore spot, and their brief ceasefires are always punctuated by reminders of who Alice is and what she’s done....

Criticism of Marvel Studios movies is not a new phenomenon. Despite their pictures generally receiving solid marks from a plurality of critics almost every outing—at least as judged by the simple up/down metric of Rotten Tomatoes—there’s always a loud contingent of detractors whose grievances should be familiar by now: a visual and narrative uniformity; a lack of stylistic variation; an overreliance on blue screen and CGI; and where is the authorial voice?...

In the new James Mangold-directed sequel, Ford’s Dr. Henry Jones Jr. is looking grayer than he did in 2008’s Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. In fact, his hair is now white. But the elegiac rendition of Williams’ Indy theme still soars as the old-timer rides a horse through the New York City subways–and it all but weeps as we have our first look at the de-aged Harrison Ford, confirming rumors that there will be flashback sequences set during World War II....

After the debut of the Yellowstone season 5 premiere, Paramount gave the franchise’s ravenous fans an early holiday present with the first peek at 1923, the second prequel and second chapter in the Dutton family saga. 1923 (originally announced as “1932”) will introduce a new generation of Duttons led by patriarch Jacob (Harrison Ford) and matriarch Cara (Helen Mirren). The series will explore the early twentieth century when issues like pandemics, historic drought, the end of Prohibition, and the Great Depression all plagued the mountain west and the Duttons who called it home....

Everyone’s favorite hard-boiled detective (and former superhero – not that she wants to talk about it) is back for one last case. While Jessica Jones, Trish Walker, and the rest of Hell’s Kitchen are reeling from Jess’s mother’s death at the end of last season and parsing out what it means to be a hero, we did our best to find all the Marvel Easter eggs throughout the Netflix show’s final season....

Peacock’s original six-part docuseries doesn’t limit coverage to the infamous headliner. The victims receive full and detailed histories. Journalists discuss Gacy’s impact on the news. The NBC News Studios documentary team interviews the investigators on the case, and family members of the victims. They also interview Gacy’s sister Karen Kuzma. The highlight of the project is a 1992 interview Gacy gave to FBI profiler Robert Ressler. Aside from a few minutes of excerpts, this is the first time the interview has been shown in public....

That at least appears to be the compelling setup of Judas and the Black Messiah, a new film which just dropped the riveting trailer below. As a film produced by Ryan Coogler (Fruitvale Station, Creed), Judas and the Black Messiah appears to take the always fascinating perspective of the man who betrayed a friend or leader, a Judas if you will, with the film told from the perspective of William O’Neal (LaKeith Stanfield)....

“When a murder is committed, it sends shockwaves through a community,” reads the press statement. “But what happens when a case is closed, yet lingering questions remain? When doubt circulates throughout a city, and investigations are put under a microscope, people begin to ask: is the convicted truly the killer, or is someone evading the law while an innocent person sits taxed with their crimes?” Killer in Question will examine four stories of adjudicated cases, where the verdict remains under dispute....
