House of the Dragon Episode 3 It took Game of Thrones nearly two full seasons (and an influx of gold dragon currency) before it felt comfortable enough to tackle a big action sequence. In fact, for much of its early run Game of Thrones went out of its way to avoid major battles even when the situation called for it. Season 1 saw Tyrion sit out a scuffle after an errant axe to the head knocked him out....
What would a normal day in King’s Landing be like if a building wasn’t been blown up or a dragon wasn’t crashing a coronation? We imagine it would be pretty boring. Thankfully, it was business as usual in House of the Dragon season one’s penultimate episode, as “The Green Council” saw Aegon II Targaryen (Tom Glynn-Carney) crowned as king of the Seven Kingdoms. While a full-blooded Targaryen sitting on the throne should be good news for everyone, we know this is the beginning of the end for the doomed dynasty....
It’s a prime example of the power Arachnophobia still possesses, 30 years on from its release. The power to have audiences breaking out in cold sweats one minute and fits of laughter the next. Fortunately, Arachnophobia had Frank Marshall at the helm. Never work with animals and children While the old Hollywood adage claimed you should never work with children or animals, Marshall had an impressive track record with both – especially animals....
Actually, you’re forgiven if you watched Final Fantasy Origin‘s debut trailer and didn’t even realize that it appears to be a kind of retelling of the original Final Fantasy game. While some of the specifics of the relationship between Team Ninja’s Final Fantasy spin-off and 1987’s Final Fantasy remain unknown, the two clearly share a number of plot points and characters. Because the trailer honestly did a pretty bad job of making that clear, though, only hardcore Final Fantasy fans were probably able to those references....
Nikyatu Jusu’s love of horror is undeniable, evidenced in her short film Suicide By Sunlight (2018), and now even more so in her debut feature Nanny (2022). “I usually start every project with imagery. And as I’ve said many times, the springboard is my mother’s story, loosely… and I’m just fiercely protective of my mother,” Jusu explains about the entry point for this script and her personal connection to the story of Aisha (Anna Diop), a Senegalese immigrant in New York and the nanny for the child of an affluent white family....
Power Rangers Dino Fury ended on a bigger high than when it came in, which is saying something because Dino Fury was a huge fan favorite right from the get go. Over the last two years the series has earned wide approval and love from the Power Rangers fanbase and entering into these final episodes fans were eager to see if the show could stick the landing. It was able to do that and so much more....
Denise Crosby’s Lt. Tasha Yar, Star Trek: The Next Generation’s inaugural chief of security, managed—due to some alternate timeline trickery—to take that legendary meta-minded dig at her own death from two years earlier in the Season 1 episode, “Skin of Evil.” With that episode having originally aired on April 25, 1988, the anniversary is a good occasion to look back on the controversial behind-the-scenes circumstances that resulted in poor Tasha’s unspectacular, abrupt, red-shirt-like fatal encounter with an alien tar monster on a cheap-looking set....
The origin of Teen Titans: Robin and its two leading heroes goes back to the early days of Garcia’s pitching process with DC. “I pitched this whole series before I found Gabriel,” she says. “The coolest thing was Gabriel was already drawing Titans in their regular clothes. That was kind of the cornerstone of my pitch because DC said they really wanted me to make the characters relatable. I wanted it to seem like you could go to school with one of the Titans and not know....
For starters, HBO Max and Discovery+ will officially become one streaming service that is scheduled to launch in the U.S. in summer 2023. The company didn’t yet announce what this new service will be called or how much it will cost subscribers, but JB Perrete, CEO and President of Global Streaming and Interactive for Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD), did say that they are exploring ad-free and ad-supported options as well as a version that would be totally free but also ad-supported....
Compared to its rival streaming services like Netflix, Prime Video, and HBO Max, Hulu is a bit more holiday forward in the final month of 2022. Sure, all the streaming services are bringing some Christmas content to the table, but Hulu is the only one to plant its flag in a special called It’s a Wonderful Binge. This comedic take on a psychedelic Purge-like Christmas is set to premiere on Dec....
For starters, Hulu is premiering one of its major 2020 reboots this month as Animaniacs arrives on Nov. 20. Yakko, Wakko, Dot, and the rest of the Warner gang are set to return for this long-awaited revival of the animated classic. That’s about it as far as original series go but Hulu is also premiering original movies Greta, about climate activist Greta Thunberg on Nov. 13; and Run, a horror film starring Sarah Paulson, on Nov....
With the sheer volume of change that DC underwent in the last year – new distributors, new release days, personnel changes, cancellations and FanDomes included – there was a lot of speculation about the future of the comics line. This first batch of solicitations provide an interesting answer to that speculation. It looks like, post-Future State, DC’s changing everything. By keeping some things the same. Here are our biggest takeaways…...
Inside No. 9 Series 5 Episode 4 Murder. Revenge. Sinister secrets. Occult props. Black comedy. Wigs. And an ingeniously constructed plot scattered with cult references, capped by a nasty surprise… If an Inside No. 9 fan were pressed to list the elements of a ‘classic’ story, the above might be the result. “Misdirection,” a kind of ur-Inside No. 9 episode, had the lot. Dark, complex and inventive, it’ll satisfy traditionalists and pacify any viewers unimaginative enough to be distressed by this show’s genre-roaming spirit....
Since that moment, anticipation has only grown, from original Blade actor Wesley Snipes offering his support for the project, to the exciting additions of Delroy Lindo and Aaron Pierre to the cast. Not even a baffling post-credit sequence to Eternals, in which Blade’s voice can be heard warning Dane Whitman against removing the Ebony Blade, could diminish the excitement. However, some recent news might raise eyebrows, as director Bassam Tariq has stepped away from the project just weeks before filming was to begin....
Author Jamie Mollart laughs while admitting this, but the idea for Kings of a Dead World, his new dystopian novel about a world put to sleep to conserve resources, came to him in a dream. And why shouldn’t it have? “Sleep on it” is the common advice for a human being pondering a big choice or change, with the promise that a good night’s sleep will allow them better perspective to write a novel, make a life-shifting decision… maybe even save the world?...
Thomasin McKenzie’s Eloise Turner is a young woman who’s always been haunted by ghosts. That was true at the beginning of Edgar Wright’s Last Night in Soho and it proves just as accurate by the end when she smiles at a blonde haired specter in the mirror. But then learning to live with your spirits, including the horror that comes from their legacies, is all part of growing up. And for Eloise—or Ellie T....
Here’s what film stars Lily James (Cinderella) and Sam Riley (Maleficent) had to tease about their Lizzie and Bennet… On crossing Austen with zombies… Though Austen and zombies might seem like a tough genre mashup to sell as an actor, Riley says the two elements actually fit quite well: “It was great. To begin with, the zombies didn’t arrive for the first couple of weeks, so it almost felt like we were doing Pride and Prejudice for a while — but with samurai swords … It never seemed ridiculous, did it?...
“How would you like to spend three months with Diego Luna’s Cassian Andor? Later this year, you’ll get that chance. A new interview confirms that his upcoming Star Wars show, Andor, is 12 episodes long. That’s double the length of this week’s Obi-Wan Kenobi show, five episodes longer than The Book of Boba Fett, and four episodes longer than each season of The Mandalorian. (Animated series The Bad Batch was 16 episodes, so that’s why we’re specifying ‘live-action....

“There’s nothing quite like a good heist story, with their thrills of the hero(es) outmaneuvering their enemies up to the last possible second and gratifying sense of justice in seeing the bad guys in power get what’s theirs when the rug is pulled out from under them. Netflix’s Lupin deftly checks all of the boxes of what we expect from the genre…” Read more at Thrillist. The road to LGBTQ equality is a long and arduous one....
