MetaZoo is heading to eBay. But the news doesn’t stop there. The latest and greatest of trading card games has teamed up with eBay for an exclusive launch. On April 25 collectors can participate in a 60-day presale for a mini Wilderness booster box on eBay.com. Retailing at $50, each booster box will feature 10 packs and a special holographic box topper randomly chosen from a pool of 10, the first of their kind in MetaZoo....

Being a fighting game, you expect all the fighters to be on the same level. Even forgettable losers like Hsu Hao and Kai should stand a chance against gods and otherworldly overlords. A nigh-invincible megalomaniac villain can lose to one of their bumbling underlings just as easily as they can lose to the game’s main hero. At least, that’s ideally how fighting games should be balanced. Storywise, it’s different. Certain characters are straight-up in their own leagues compared to others....

Thanks to a massive MultiVersus Season 1 patch, the game’s meta is far different than it was just a handful of days ago. While the earliest days of the game’s launch will ultimately reveal how the game’s roster of (mostly) licensed characters is shaping up, it’s good to go into the game with some idea of where the various MultiVersus fighters stand. Before we get into that, though, here are a few things to consider....

Nancy Drew Season 2, Episode 5 Like many shows, Nancy Drew’s season was cut short last year, thanks to the coronavirus pandemic that shut down production and forced the series to conclude its inaugural run five episodes before it originally meant to do so. But unlike most shows that have since returned, this is one of the few where the break has felt almost entirely natural. Whether by accident of timing, a lot of thoughtful planning, a little bit of luck, or some combination of all three, Nancy Drew has rolled into its second season without missing a beat, and the larger Aglaeca mystery has grown into a story that’s as much about the characters we love and the friendship they share as it is about a vengeful sea witch trying to kill them all....

But it’s not about the money, it’s about what The Neighbours Game represents – an almost infinite number of never-seen-before plotlines. Neighbours might be ending on television, but it doesn’t have to end in your mind. Here’s how it works: the aim of The Neighbours Game is to win the most points by putting down combinations of character and storyline cards to create episodes of Neighbours. The cards have to match the colour on the board and the resulting plotline must make grammatical sense insofar as you care about grammatical sense....

When a popular manga was adapted into an anime in the early 2000’s (or earlier) there was a pretty high chance that it’d be… lacking in some respect. Turn of the century anime often featured filler episodes, occasional weak animation, or just a less-than-perfect retelling of the manga’s story. This would often happen with any show adapting a currently running manga, forcing it to make up stories to catch up to what was being published....

(Though now I think about it, Mickey Mouse lives in America, doesn’t he? So he’ll already have seen most of that. And Noelle, the new Anna Kendrick Christmas film that came out in the US last year. Some people have it all.)

But the incident awakens something long dormant in Hutch: a set of skills and a primal anger that served him well in a former life and career defined by violence. Hutch has to give that repressed rage an outlet, which unfortunately brings him into the sights of a deadly Russian crime boss, even as it reawakens his soul and reconnects him with his wife and family. Directed by Ilya Naishuller (who helmed the equally explosive Hardcore Henry in 2015), Nobody also stars Christopher Lloyd, RZA, and Connie Nielsen as Hutch’s wife Becca, a successful career woman on her own terms, and who probably no longer needs her seemingly insubstantial husband all that much....

M. Night Shyalaman’s latest, Old, sees a group of families at a luxury resort taken to a special beach which makes them age incredibly rapidly, to the point that their lives play out in entirety over hardly more than a day. It’s a fascinating and bleak premise inspired by the graphic novel Sandcastle by Frederik Peeters and Pierre Oscar Lévy, which doesn’t exactly sound like it’s in the mold of the queen of detective fiction, Agatha Christie....

Apprehension even seemed to reach the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences when they announced last June that the next Oscars ceremony would be held on April 25, 2021—the latest calendar date ever for the show since they began broadcasting on television in 1953. Yet with theaters still closed and a second wave then imminent, some speculated… would the show really go on? “There was a time when it looked like no films were being released at all, even on streaming, much less in theaters,” TCM host Dave Karger tells me when we sit down to discuss Oscar history, and the kind of history that’s now being made by the 93rd Annual Academy Awards....

That single line of dialogue, spoken by the film’s primary villain, perfectly captures the glorious absurdity that is Overlord, the World War II/sci-fi/horror mash-up from director Julius Avery and producer J.J. Abrams. Set on the eve of the Allied D-Day invasion, the film adds mad Nazi scientists and zombies to its genre mash-up to devilish effect. From its creative opening credits, which mixes radio broadcasts and newsreel style footage over shots of airplanes flying across occupied France, Overlord wants you to believe it’s a World War II movie....

Classic HBO series The Sopranos is now old enough to find new fans who weren’t even alive when it originally aired. Zoomers, or kids born in the late 1990s and early 2000s are increasingly intrigued with the iconic drama for many of the same reasons folks were wrapped up in it back when it premiered in 1999. The show depicts violence in a very raw and realistic manner and shows a faction of organized crime that feels like a time capsule of a period that is now well in the past, while also touching upon a general sense of nihilism that modern viewers can appreciate....

Not long after entering the Medali Gym Building, you’ll be asked to “order the secret menu item” as part of the gym’s special test. While you could just try ordering various combinations of foods until you stumble upon the secret menu item in question, you’re actually supposed to gather clues from nearby regulars and trainers that will help you find the right order. As such, there are actually a couple of ways to approach this puzzle....

Quantum Leap Episode 7 Quantum Leap episode 7 “O Ye of Little Faith,” is the episode diehard fans have been waiting for in the sequel series. The original show carried with it specific sensibilities of good versus evil, God and the Devil, the power of the subconscious versus the rational mind and the separation of science and religious belief. These tropes popped up from time to time through all the original five seasons, but certainly the Halloween episodes and a good deal of season 5 drove full throttle into the seemingly unscientific questions of faith....

By now, you probably already know that we have a quarterly print magazine. A quarterly print mag that has a new issue dropping on April 27 with an action-packed and star-studded The Suicide Squad cover story. But did you know that our subscribers and the thousands of fans picking up Den of Geek in one of the 106 independent comic shops across the United States will also get a bonus issue of Den of Geek, polybagged with our regular issue?...

A more fitting advert might be, “If you loved Mulholland Drive, but thought it could do with less girl-on-girl action and more talking chickens, you’ll love accompanying Dorothy through this scary-ass mess of a film.” Not quite as pithy, perhaps, but certainly more honest. A composite of the plots of L. Frank Baum’s Ozma Of Oz and The Magical Land Of Oz, Walter Murch’s sole directorial effort is a very different beast from Fleming’s 1939 original....

Rose’s story was posted in Instagram story format on their official account, and has been shared as screenshots in various places. Allegations include sexual misconduct by Roth and other unsafe working conditions that allegedly led not only to Rose’s injuries but also to a crew member receiving “third degree burns over his whole body.” Rose discusses the company’s decision to continue filming despite COVID-19 risks, which allegedly led to a production assistant becoming quadriplegic and having to start a Go Fund Me campaign to pay for their health care....

It’s trippy to think that Russian Doll premiered on Netflix all the way back in 2019—the day before Groundhog Day, no less. It was of course fitting timing for the high-concept television series from Leslye Headland, Natasha Lyonne, and Amy Poehler about New York City video game designer Nadia Vulvokov (Lyonne), stuck in a time loop where she keeps dying over and over, only to reawaken at her 36th birthday party to the sounds of Harry Nilsson’s “Gotta Get Up....

Back in 2016, the final episode of Sailor Moon Crystal closed out the manga’s “Infinity” arc and in its last moments teased what every fan was hoping for next, something we’d all been deprived of for far too long… a faithful adaptation of the manga’s fourth arc, entitled “Dream.” The premise of “Dream” is that on the day of the solar eclipse, the Dead Moon Circus, an ancient enemy of Silver Millennium (the Moon Kingdom) appears in Tokyo....

The story was initially published in Hill’s first book, a 2005 short story collection called 20th Century Ghosts that put the young author on the horror map before it was widely known that he was the son of Stephen King. The tale follows the plight of John Finney, a young boy kidnapped and held prisoner in the basement of a serial killer, who begins to communicate with his previous victims via a broken old phone....
