The Exorcist terrified moviegoers when it came out a day after Christmas in ‘73. William Peter Blatty’s novel was a bestseller before that, threatening to infest every bookshelf in every home in America. It was a demon just waiting for some studio to unleash it into theaters, and Warner Bros. heralded its unholy unveiling. Word on the street warned that viewers ran out of auditoriums and passed out in the lobbies at the phantasmagorical extravaganza....

You’d think after over 80 years and multiple high-profile retellings of Batman‘s early days that there’d be nothing left to mine in those days. And yet The Batman is just the latest example of the appeal this period continues to have. One is reminded of Frank Miller’s words: The idea that Batman is akin to a diamond. No matter the pressure, he won’t shatter. He’s a character you can interpret in any number of ways, in any number of tones, and the character remains Batman....

While the film wasn’t a huge commercial success and received mixed reviews on release, to a whole generation of kids–who have now grown up–and their kids it remains a classic. That’s why this Willow fan was incredibly excited to hear that Howard and Lucas will be returning–with helmers Jon Chu and Jon Kasdan–to the fantastical world and the characters who’ve meant so much to so many over the years. So what will this new Willow series look like?...

Wynonna Earp Season 3 Episode 2 It’s not often a TV show can truly shock its audience, but Wynonna Earp has proven exceptionally good at it. Last season, it was a happy surprise: Wynonna is pregnant. This season, it is the opposite: Dolls, a character who has been with this show and this found family since the beginning, is dead. Agent Xavier Pamela Dolls, played by Shamier Anderson, was Wynonna’s best friend....

The most noteworthy feature of the upcoming console may just be its price. At just $299, the Xbox Series S not only has the honor of being the first next-gen console with a confirmed price point, but it will likely end up being the most affordable next-gen console by at least $50-$100 (based on current estimates). What do you get for that price? While Microsoft has not yet revealed the console’s specs at the time of this writing, they have released this teaser trailer which showcases the console’s highlight features: To summarize, the Xbox Series S will be an all-digital console (meaning it will not include a disc drive) that will ship with a custom 512GB SSD....

Yellowjackets is, without doubt, one of the best shows we’ve seen in the past year, a series that combines a pair of tense, dual-timeline mysteries with a deft exploration of the dark underbelly of female friendship and the looming threat of cannibalism. (Yes, really.) Boasting a banging soundtrack and a cast full of talented teen newcomers alongside a handful of former 1990s It-Girls returning to pitch-perfect form, everything about this show is straight-up amazing and like almost nothing else on TV right now The series’ first season is often unbearably tense, teasing its viewers with questions whose answers only seem to spiral into more questions....

Young Justice Season 4 Episode 13 Young Justice Phantoms hit its midseason break with this week’s episode, “Kaerb Ym Traeh!” And it was maybe the strongest episode of the season: lots of storylines were tied off, while the annoying motion comic section was cordoned off to an argument between the Lords of Chaos and Order, and Vandal Savage and the Phantom Stranger. Not moving any of the figures around wasn’t actually a problem there, because the motion wasn’t necessarily the point....

But the Pokémon franchise has had a long journey since that initial success, its opening theme songs changing with the times. Even as theme songs for TV have mostly gone away, Pokémon has kept the light of them alive with no fewer than 24 songs across as many years! Why don’t we take a look back and see how they’ve evolved in that time? It’s worth examining how music trends influenced the songs and which ones are just straight up bops....

With a lot of help from Square, Sony quickly established the PlayStation as not just the home of incredible RPG experiences but as a console that was capable of effectively convincing people who previously had no real interest in RPGs that they absolutely needed to devote 50+ hours of their life to the next gaming epic. That sudden rise in genre popularity inspired some of the industry’s greatest RPG developers to try to outdo each other creatively and commercially....

Actually, the PS1 may just be the ‘90s console that ended up having the biggest impact on the future of the industry. While its status as such is a testament to its technological innovations and library of great games, it also speaks to the many PS1 games that somehow feel more relevant now than they ever have before. Before we talk about those games, though, here are a few rules/selection criteria to keep in mind:...

But before viewers can meet Mace, a dramatic season premiere unfolds. Daisy witnesses the fiery destruction of the Aryan Brotherhood, at the hands of Gabriel Luna’s Robbie Reyes (aka Ghost Rider). Quake and Ghost Rider throw down, with Daisy failing to apprehend the flame-skulled killer. Later in the episode, Daisy sees Robbie in his human form, tending to his wheelchair-bound brother Gabe (played by Lorenzo James Henrie). Meanwhile, Ming-Na Wen’s Melinda May leads a strike force in the general direction of Daisy’s mission....

Anyone in the U.S. who is interested in taking an early version of Luna for a test spin can request an early access invitation via this website. Otherwise, there is currently no word on when the Luna program will begin rolling out to other countries and general users.

Aqualung is framed by two halves of a concept. The first songs on the first side tell the stories of the outcasts, those out of sight of the eyes of the man who created god. The B-side explains why organized religion blinds us. In between are songs which have nothing to do with either theme. First off, for those who don’t know, Jethro Tull is not a person, but a band....

While Microsoft and Sony are both clearly excited by the many ways that SSDs will change console gaming, the PlayStation team has been especially vocal about the PS5’s SSD as one of the console’s biggest selling points. We’ve spoken before about why the PS5 SSD is unique and we’ve heard developers theorize that the PS5’s SSD could eventually force third-party developers to compromise for the comparative limitations of the Xbox Series X....

So it’s probably fair to wonder at this point whether we’ve just about seen it all when it comes to zombie flicks. Innovative takes on the genre like Shaun of the Dead, Train to Busan, and Warm Bodies have taken the zombie myth and twisted it in unexpected ways. And Zack Snyder’s own remake of Romero’s Dawn of the Dead was an amplified homage to the original with a wry sense of humor....

Attack on Titan Season 3 Episode 18 “It’s hard to stay sane, living like this. It’s painful. I know that. But even so, we need to move forward.” The previous episode of Attack on Titan focused heavily on stunning sequences of staggering violence and grueling sacrifices, but this week’s aftermath instead deals with the moral questions and different decisions that now have to be made in order to go on surviving....

Attack on Titan Season 4 Episode 3 “Just keep moving…” Attack on Titan’s new season has played with perspective in a surprising and satisfying way that’s kept the audience in the dark. A lot of this new season has focused on Falco Grice as he perseveres through Warrior Training and how he might be a Marleyan counterpart to Eren. However, “The Door of Hope” turns to Reiner’s past as a way to draw even more parallels and highlight that this new trainee may be able to accomplish what he can’t....

This image, of wartorn tenacity, is hardly the type associated with Hepburn in the popular imagination. To this day, she’s remembered as the ultimate Givenchy girl, an ethereal presence who took her breakfasts at Tiffany’s, and always in a little black dress. Even when she was heartbreaking on screen, she was luminous—a woman who appeared to glide through a charmed, effervescent life. That illusion had little to do with the real-life fires which forged her identity, or the experiences of a Second World War spent almost entirely under Nazi occupation....

WB is making money from, and maintaining the popularity of, DC characters… but lately not in the so-called DC Extended Universe. Movies like The Batman and especially Joker are gambits, “elseworld” takes on these characters if you want to use nerd jargon. But the mainline DC franchise that is intended to compete with Marvel Studios’ golden goose output? It’s largely been one disappointment after the next for the past half-decade (admittedly several of their releases were casualties of the COVID-19 pandemic and WB’s dubious 2021 day-and-date release strategy)....
