Stranger Things season 4 “volume one” is set to premiere on May 27. It’s been a long wait for new episodes of this ’80s-tinged sci-fi/horror series and based on the trailers, the wait will have been well worth it. In this go-around, the kids of Hawkins (now high schoolers) will have to contend with the Upside Down once again to go along with the horrors of the Creel House. While Stranger Things is the biggest Netflix original this month, it’s far from the only one....

“Every episode is new,” says showrunner Channing Powell, who was also a writer for both The Walking Dead and Fear The Walking Dead. “There’s a new director, we have different sets, different actors, and entirely different characters and settings.” But she is clear that this show is for old fans and new fans alike. “I actually think it’s pretty balanced, half and half.” There will be “small easter eggs” and returning characters, such as the complicated fan favorite and antagonist of The Walking Dead season nine, Alpha, played by Samantha Morton, as well as episodes that play with genre and “push the boundaries of the universe....

In case you missed its surprise reveal earlier today, the Nintendo Switch OLED is an upgraded version of the “base” Nintendo Switch that’s currently scheduled to be released on October 8 for $349.99. As you probably gathered from the name, the console’s headline feature is its new OLED screen which is not only 0.8 inches larger than the base Switch screen but will offer improved picture contrast. The Switch OLED also features expanded internal storage, a new LAN port built into its dock, better speakers, and a wider (and much more versatile) stand....

Like the ticking clock inside Peter Pan’s crocodile, time has stalked every creature on this planet to their inevitable doom. It can often be ignored or compartmentalized, but it finds you in the end. Which is why, on paper, Old should be terrifying. By adapting a graphic novel called Sandcastle by Pierre-Oscar Lévy and Frederick Peeters, Shyamalan is attempting to prevent us from looking away. This is a film where once you step foot on a mythical beach, you will live a lifetime in a day....

Liotta played bad cops and good robbers, sympathetic psychos and friendly ghosts. He is at his best when he is at his worst, and he takes you along with him. If his character is annoyed, the audience gets mad. When his character gets angry, the audience wants blood. Liotta can accommodate without even pulling a trigger. In Martin Scorsese’s Goodfellas (1990), Henry Hill learns at one point his girlfriend, and future wife, Karen (Lorraine Bracco) has been molested by a neighborhood boy....

Outer Banks season 1 centers around John B Routledge, his search for answers about his father’s disappearance, and its connection to a sunken treasure. John B, along with his best friends, JJ, Kiara, Pope, and new-beau Sarah uncover the whereabouts of the missing Royal Merchant gold and discover the truth about Big John. Season 2 expands on the Royal Merchant mystery, giving the Pogues something new to search for, and imbuing it with additional meaning for one member of the group in particular, Pope....

Even showrunner Brian Watkins and his writing team couldn’t answer all the mysteries or twists and turns that they spawned in season 1 of Prime Video’s Outer Range. The premiere season spoonfed audiences a steady pace of the bizarre that built up more and more throughout the season, with the show’s final week arguably giving us the strangest two episodes. Yet while the series keeps piling on the questions, there were finally a few much needed answers as well....

In the world of Peaky Blinders, it’s been ten years since we last saw Esme Shelby Lee, the gypsy widow of John Shelby. Played by Aimee-Ffion Edwards (War of the Worlds, Detectorists, Skins), Esme left Birmingham in a fury after John was shot dead by the New York mafia in the gang’s war with the Changrettas. In season six, she’s coming back. “Put me through to the number I gave you for Esme Shelby-Lee” It was a war that first brought Esme into the Shelby family....

Out now worldwide on Netflix, Peaky Blinders season six was filmed in locations around the UK, including Scotland, Manchester, Liverpool, Cheshire, Lancashire and more. Find out which UK sites were used to stand in for Newfoundland, Boston and many more below. Arrow House – Arley Hall & Gardens, Arley, Cheshire Tommy’s mansion Arrow House (which he took from an aristocrat over his head in gambling debt between season two and three) is really Arley Hall & Gardens in Cheshire....

22, the incorrigible soul voiced by Tina Fey, has resided in the Great Before for a very, very long time. But just how long is that? Centuries? Millennia? By virtue of her name, a number designated to her soul upon arrival in the Great Before, it is hinted that she’s been watching our world with skepticism since the very beginning: a soul who’s had eons to say, “No, that living thing is not for me....

Ootori (who many may recognize from his appearance in the recent PS5 teardown video) explains that the PS5’s 45mm thick fan actually draws in air from both sides of the console despite the fact that what Ootori describes as the “B” side of the console doesn’t actually feature the console’s chip or other notable heat-generating components. His hope is that this dual-intake design will help reduce the temperature of the “B” side which, in turn, raises the overall temperature of the console....

For some, a big part of the fun of Pokémon games comes from figuring out how to evolve every catchable creature in the game. However, other players just want to know how to evolve their Pokémon without having to jump through an increasingly complex series of hoops. For those players (or those times when you just feel like one of those players), we humbly submit this hopefully helpful guide. Before we get into all that, please note that I tried to make as much sense of this topic as possible by separating the many possible evolutions by type and then organizing the Pokémon that belong to that category alphabetically....

While the PS5’s official launch is still a few weeks away, we’ve compiled what outlets and influencers are saying about the console so far. We should note that most of these early posts pertain specifically to the packaging and what PS5 hardware these outlets are going to be able to try and show off in more detail at a later date. That said, the hype is real! Even those who weren’t so lucky as to get the console ahead of launch got creative with their PS5 unboxings: Clearly, he’s blown away....

This information originates from Japanese media outlets who have had the chance to preview the PS5’s UI and other features. Their reports find that the “X” button is now used for any confirmation or selection inputs on the PS5. While that may not sound like much of a story to any Western PlayStation gamers who have been using that button to confirm selections for years now, it comes as quite a shock to Japanese gamers who have used the “O” button for confirmation inputs since the launch of the original PlayStation....

Ralph Breaks the Internet, the long-awaited sequel to 2012’s Wreck-It Ralph is upon us. You can read our review here. In this new adventure, our self-aware video game heroes Ralph and Vanellope venture into the internet to see if they can do a less-cringeworthy version of The Emoji Movie. From there, they take part in a fairly simple quest with minimal conflict, only to go through an emotional discovery later on when the movie asks itself, “Actually, what is this really about?...

In fact, during the character’s golden jubilee in 2012, Bond became arguably bigger than ever with the 50th anniversary also coinciding with the highest grossing Bond film at the box office, courtesy of Skyfall… of course that record only holds if you don’t count inflation, or certainly the amount of tickets sold by Connery’s fourth outing as MI6’s best man, Thunderball (1965). Either way, even the dour and brooding Craig movies still act as a reflection, and perhaps deflection, of the image Connery built by playing James Bond for five films in the 1960s, and then coming out of 007 retirement twice in subsequent decades....

This creates for an undeniably exciting viewing experience. It feels like anything can happen in a multiverse-spanning episode of Rick and Morty – because just about anything probably can. But that enormous universe also means an equally enormous stable of characters, which can be hard to keep up with. We gave it our best shot over here, but now the real professionals are stepping in to make sure the critters, creatures, cretins, and characters of Rick and Morty are properly catalogued....

The scene in question occurs at the midpoint of the new family film starring De Niro as Ed, a retired grandfather who’s reluctantly forced to move into his adult daughter’s family home. With the move, he’s displaced his grandson Peter (Oakes Fegley). This is the inciting dispute, which has led to the generational pair doing covert battle over a single bedroom that only one of them can have. Their prank war began as a secret, but by the time Peter’s roped in his school friends, and Ed has brought in buddies Jerry (Walken), Danny (Cheech Marin), and Diane (Jane Seymour), things have escalated quickly....

Shameless Season 11 Episode 3 “Gender’s a social construct.” Shameless is a series that’s always been very interested in how its Chicago neighborhood influences its characters. Coming as a remake from a UK series, Shameless’s new environment becomes one of its most important changes. This series constantly labels characters and tells them what they can and cannot do, while this perception internalizes and festers. This final season has taken an even greater interest in these themes and “Frances Francis Franny Frank” specifically filters them through gender norms....

Ships of the Northern Fleet, the steampunk sky pirate TV show from the naughts, has seen a recent fandom resurgence on social media platform TikTok and in other corners of the internet. Adapted from a book series of the same name, SotNF ran for six seasons before taking its final bow in 2013 and sailing off into the sunset… until the inevitable reboot or revival. In honor of the epic, pre-Game of Thrones fantasy series that launched a thousand queer ships, we’re listing up our five favorite episodes....
