American Gods Season 1 Episode 5 If you don’t know the American Gods story, then “Lemon-Scented You” was the first episode that even attempted to explain anything to you. (That’s right! Five episodes in and this show is still mostly playing enigmatic. I can respect that.) Ironically, the most straightforward explanation comes in the form of Mr. Wednesday explaining his mission to a detective he knows won’t believe him. The sitch?...
While much of the focus will likely be on nailing the formula that made Aquaman the highest-grossing DC movie of all-time back in 2018, Wan has also teased an interesting inspiration for the sequel that could suggest a slightly different direction than the original action flick. “Aquaman 2 is very heavily inspired by Planet of the Vampires,” Wan told Total Film in August. “You can take the boy out of horror but you can never take the horror out the boy....
Heck, Jen addressed the issue herself in Episode 3, “The People vs. Emil Blonsky,” in one of her fourth-wall-breaking comments directly to the audience. “I know you can’t wait to see Wong,” she said. “I get it. I wanna make sure that you don’t think this is one of those ‘cameo every week’ type of shows. It’s not. Well, except Bruce. And Blonsky. And Wong. Just remember whose show this actually is....
Are You Afraid of the Dark?: Curse of the Shadows is the title of Season 2, indicating that the series will again eschew its classic single-episode story format to utilize the entirety of a season to tell one epic story, having moved on from the 2019 miniseries storyline centered on demented ringmaster Mr. Tophat and his Carnival of Doom. Moreover, we’re already getting an all-new Midnight Society; a lineup tasked with pursuing a mysterious creature called the Shadowman....
The internet is destined to debate the artistic merits of Zack Snyder’s Army of the Dead for years to come, but you’ll never be able to accuse the director of pulling any punches in his return to the zombie movie genre. By the time the credits roll on this two hour and 28 minute undead extravaganza, it’s clear Snyder’s left nothing on the cutting room floor, and even he’s confirmed there will be no need for a Justice League-sized director’s cut in the future....
James Cameron is the guy who quoted his own movie when he won the Best Director Oscar in 1998. More than that, he’s the guy who wrote that quote for the movie: “I’m the king of the world!” And on the evening Titanic won 11 Oscars, he really was. For the record, there is nothing wrong with a night of exuberance for the filmmaker. It just tells you a little bit about the guy who made Titanic....
Hanna Atomic Blonde Stylish and featuring some of the best fight scenes this side of John Wick (the film’s director David Leitch, also worked on John Wick), Atomic Blonde stars the incomparable Charlize Theron as a spy tasked with finding a lost of double agents that is being smuggled into the West on the eve of the Berlin Wall’s collapse. Like Black Widow, Atomic Blonde only has so much narrative time to delve into the complexities of this set up and setting and, maybe sensing it won’t be able to do them justice, instead leans into the aesthetic and action of this world....

The Wolfenstein collection (referred to as Wolfenstein: The Alternative History Bundle) will seemingly contain Wolfenstein: The New Order, Wolfenstein: The Old Blood, Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus, and Wolfenstein: Youngblood. The ESRB rates the collection for Xbox Series X, while a retail listing on Best Buy’s website indicates that it will also be available for PS4 and Xbox One. The current-gen versions of the game are listed for $79.99, and there’s no word regarding the price of the next-gen release....
The second half of Better Call Saul’s sixth and final season is upon us. That means we will be saying goodbye to Jimmy McGill (Bob Odenkirk) as he once and for all transitions into Breaking Bad’s Saul Goodman. If Breaking Bad was the story of one man’s transformation from Mr. Chips into Scarface, Better Call Saul’s central reinvention isn’t as dramatic, but it is somehow more sad and human. The prequel series is the story of a man failing to live up to an idealized version of himself and succumbing to his own worst impulses....
Big Little Lies Season 1 was one of the television events of 2017, one of the shows that people couldn’t stop talking about. Now, 2017 feels about a million miles away: a simpler time, a time already obscured by the fog of happenings. Therefore, you’d be forgiven for not remembering exactly what happened at the end of HBO’s supposedly limited series event. With Big Little Lies Season 2 just premiered, let’s recap what happened at the end of Big Little Lies Season 1....
With the launch of Disney+ and ample time to get nostalgic and revisit old movies and TV shows due to the pandemic, many older millennials are diving back into Boy Meets World, which ran for seven seasons from 1993 through 2000 as a staple of ABC’s TGIF lineup. The show centered on Philadelphia teenager Cory Matthews (Ben Savage) navigating life with his best friend Shawn Hunter (Rider Strong), his love interest Topanga Lawrence (Danielle Fishel), and brother Eric (Will Friedle), while perpetually receiving life lessons from longtime teacher and eventual principal Mr....
By following these steps listed on the Infinity Ward website, players are able to selectively uninstall parts of the Call of Duty package on PC. While the website notes that you’re not able to uninstall Warzone as part of this method (which is interesting), you are able to uninstall Modern Warfare‘s campaign, multiplayer, and Special Ops modes. That’s big news for Warzone players who only play the battle royale as well as Call of Duty multiplayer fans who no longer need the campaign on their computers....
Surely not a day goes by when Emilia Clarke isn’t questioned about the location and health of Daenerys Targaryen’s dragons. And it will be a long time before Kit Harrington stops hearing “you know nothing, Jon Snow.” Still, when Matthew Needham (Endeavour) signed on to portray murderous gossipmonger Larys Strong in the Thrones prequel House of the Dragon, he couldn’t have possibly anticipated the moment that fans would eventually latch onto....
Following in the footsteps of season 1’s action-movie pastiche “Modern Warfare,” “Epidemiology” finds Greendale Community College thrown into chaos after tainted taco meat turns the students into shambling, bloodthirsty zombies. The library, home of the school’s Halloween party, quickly becomes a haunted house of costumed cannibals. The study group finds itself in a race against the clock to save their own skins, and – if a doctor in a banana costume can be trusted – maybe the entire world, too....
Counterpart Season 1 Episode 1 The series premiere of Counterpart has a daunting duty, as does any pilot episode; it must introduce a complex world, create excitement about a conflict, and make us care about the characters, all in a single hour. “The Crossing” chooses to touch lightly on each of these while trusting the audience to stick around for further developments. As a result, the beginning of the tale of a secret government organization bridging parallel Earths is deliberately paced, some might even say slow....
The biggest winner of the night was Nomadland, which picked up the Critics Choice Awards for Best Picture and Best Director, making Chloé Zhao an even more concrete frontrunner at the Oscars (ahead of her Marvel debut via Eternals). But after the Golden Globes shut out Emerald Fennell’s Promising Young Woman, the movie’s star Carey Mulligan took home the Best Actress prize at the CCA while Fennell herself won the Best Original Screenplay award....
For those who don’t know, Cyberpsychosis is a kind of mental disease triggered by the cybernetic augmentations found throughout the Cyberpunk universe. The nature of the disease is fairly complicated, but the basic idea is that someone can gradually lose their mind (and humanity) by installing too many augmentations. The speed at which that disease takes over can vary based on the individual’s mental state and the nature of the augmentations themselves, but the end result is usually the same: the victim begins to gradually “forget” their humanity....
In a Twitter thread, Gunn began to answer those questions, specifically acknowledging two of the biggest fan requests sent his way since taking over DC Studios: a new season of Legends of Tomorrow and the release of the Ayer Cut of Suicide Squad. “Opened up Twitter at the end of a long, creative weekend to see the many tweets to #SaveLegendsofTomorrow & #ReleaseTheAyerCut & fan support for other DC projects over the years....
The MCU multiverse came to be when Loki and Sylvie dethroned He Who Remains in the Loki season finale. But if the Marvel Comics references in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness are to be believed, it may be ending soon, too. In the movie’s post-credit sequence, the sorceress Clea (Charlize Theron) recruits Strange to join her in the Dark Dimension to address an incursion caused by his actions....
