My Hero Academia Season 5 Episode 19 A large portion of “More of a Hero Than Anyone” obsesses over how the weaponized monsters known as Nomu are essentially puppets that carry out the larger actions of Tomura Shigaraki and the League of Villains. The very nature of Nomus and their utility as villainous tools is put under scrutiny, but the episode uses their slave-like nature to highlight how many heroes have also started to function as puppets and become emblematic of their larger cause....

We know a fleet of guest stars and familiar faces – Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan among them – will be returning for one last visit to Erinsborough. Set leaks suggest that the final ever scene will be a sweetly nostalgic capper to almost four decades of drama. If Neighbours were true to its roots though, it might end just as it began – with a sinister, overblown 80s nightmare sequence that’s more Elm Street than Ramsay Street....

Based on Nora Roberts’ 1988 pulp novel Brazen Virtue, Netflix’s distinctly made for TV-flavored movie adaptation stars Alyssa Milano (Charmed) as murder-mystery writer Grace Miller, who naturally has a self-proclaimed knack for being able to get “inside the mind of a killer.” When her fragile sister Kathleen – a beloved teacher at a prestigious school – is brutally murdered while Grace is next door flirting with local detective Ed (The Bold Type’s Sam Page), she decides that the only way the police are going to catch the person whodunnit is if she dollops a large spoonful of lurid novel-writing knowledge all over their investigative salad....

This Cassian Andor origin story is actually split into two parts, with the first 12-episode season telling the story of why the freedom fighter joined the Rebel Alliance in the first place. As showrunner Tony Gilroy has revealed in the last few weeks, the Cassian we’ll meet at the start of Andor is a far cry from the man who will sacrifice himself on Scarif just five years down the line....

The exclusive streaming rights to director Richard Stanley’s extraterrestrial outbreak film, Color Out of Space, along with Frank Sabatella’s vampire-centric The Shed—each a production of RJLE Films—have been acquired by Shudder, which will make the movies available to stream in the U.S. later this year on a date to be determined. As Shudder General Manager Craig Engler expresses of the acquisitions in a statement: Color Out of Space debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival back in September 2019, followed by a limited theatrical run in January 2020....

If you recognize those two locations, you know where this is going: Tarantino has hitched his nostalgic, evocative fantasia to the brutal, real-life Aug. 9, 1969 murders of actress Sharon Tate and four others by members of the cult led by Charles Manson. But before we even get to that, the core of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is the relationship between a once popular and now fading actor named Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his stunt double/handyman/driver Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt), both aging out of the Hollywood scene and unsure of their future....

One of the more eclectic concepts to come out last fall was Hulu’s engrossing and enjoyable Only Murders in the Building. Perhaps it shouldn’t have come as a complete surprise, as the show starred bastions of comedy Steve Martin and Martin Short, and most of what they have done (especially together) is pure gold. Giving this duo a third corner of comedy is Selena Gomez, who injects the main cast with youth and millennial-appropriate sarcasm....

Rhys Darby certainly does, but not just any pirate. In the new HBO Max series Our Flag Means Death, the comedian immediately recognizable from Jumanji: The Next Level, What We Do in the Shadows, Flight of the Conchords, and so many more roles, assumes the mantle of real-life “gentleman pirate” Stede Bonnet. Premiering March 3 with three episodes, Our Flag Means Death was created by David Jenkins (People of Earth), and co-created by Taika Waititi (Thor: Ragnarok, What We Do in the Shadows), who also co-stars as the dread pirate Blackbeard....

Starz just released the Outlander Season 6 teaser trailer as part of its NYCC celebrations. While the minute-long sneak peek starts with shots of our favorite couples (and also Roger and Brianna) gazing lovingly at one another, tension soon rises. We see a man hammering a “Refuse British goods” notice to a rural bulletin board. “It’s starting,” says time traveler Claire. “A storm. The war. It’s almost here.” (While watching monologues like this, you can kind of understand why the locals keep accusing Claire of being a witch....

In a new interview with Stellar Magazine star Sam Heughan, who has played Jamie Fraser on the show since 2014, has been talking about why he thinks Outlander continues to resonate with its fans, citing the pure central relationship between his thoughtful and occasionally rebellious character and Caitriona Balfe’s strong-minded former World War II nurse, Claire. “There are a number of reasons [that Outlander’s audience continues to grow], but I believe it’s because at the very heart of it, it’s about a relationship that people aspire to,” Heughan said....

Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones begins with the high school graduation of Jesse (Andrew Jacobs) an affable young man who lives with his father, sister, and grandmother and spends his time hanging out with his clownish pal Hector (Jorge Diaz) and downstairs neighbor Marisol (Gabrielle Walsh). Jesse initially spends the first few days of the summer break playing with his new digital camera, through which we view all of the action, which consists largely of him and Hector trying to make fools of each other....

Peacemaker Episode 6 Watching a filmmaker finetune the edges of a storytelling style they’ve already mastered is truly something to behold. Case in point is this week’s Peacemaker. Episode 6 “Murn After Reading” is both written (like every other episode of the show) and directed (like four others) by James Gunn. Though it has all the makings of a transitional installment into the series’ final two episodes, it still somehow feels like the most stylistically and emotionally complete outing for Peacemaker thus far....

“Unique,” “mysterious,” “bizarre,” “wild,” and “like nothing you’ve ever seen before”—these are just a few of the phrases the cast of Peacock’s upcoming thriller/mystery/romance series The Resort used to describe the series when speaking to Den of Geek during San Diego Comic-Con. But it’s possible that none of their answers actually go far enough. Okay, okay, maybe star Cristin Milioti’s declaration that the show “is as if Romancing the Stone and Jurassic Park were combined, but also were about the disappointment of getting older” comes close....

Reconciling those two sides is never easy, and androids weren’t always so realistic in the different eras of television, often acting as Pinocchios who wanted to be “real.” There have been many android characters in film and TV, but below are a few exemplars of each type among the main cast of some of the most beloved sci-fi television series in recent decades, leading to the more modern, more complex sentient machines of Raised by Wolves....

Rift Apart offers five wildly different difficulty settings that drastically change how you play the game. While it’s possible to change the game’s difficulty at any time, most players will probably want to pick an option and stick with it unless they absolutely need to swap. Which difficulty setting should you choose, though? Well, that’s really up to you, but to help you make that decision, here’s what you need to know about Rift Apart‘s various difficulty options....

Those are the first words that greet Nadia Vulvokov (Natasha Lyonne) every single time she dies and “respawns” at her 36th birthday party in Russian Doll season 1. They come from Harry Nilsson’s song “Gotta Get Up” and with an accompanying piano riff they prove to be a constant artistic companion through Nadia’s very strange experience. The song is an appropriate guide for the audience as well. There is no better way to ground a disorienting supernatural experience than with the familiar soothing sounds of a pop song....

Well if you count organic webbing as a good substitute for stuffing, and don’t mind a pumpkin bomb baked into your pie, then you probably have overlooked one of the all-time great Thanksgiving flicks: Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man from 2002. Yes, the superhero movie which spans about a year and is probably best remembered for an upside down kiss in the rain is also a Thanksgiving miracle. Spider-Man is of course one of the most important entries in its genre....

The Rose family and their neighbors in Schitt’s Creek are back for a sixth and final season and, as with any TV series that is able to go out on its own terms, Schitt’s Creek has some questions to definitively answer. Though this comedic gem is far from the kind of plot-driven shows like Game of Thrones that demand plot-driven answers, the questions Schitt’s Creek asks are no less important to its fans, and in no less demand of answers....

Shameless Season 8 Episode 12 A Shameless finale is usually when the laughter comes to a stop—or at least an intervening chortle—and the typical South Side shenanigans get real. Last season alone, we said goodbye to Hurricane Monica in a shockingly poignant, and necessarily wistful, coffin slam. But burying the old battle axe with several pounds of meth wasn’t the only time Shameless was willing to shed some tears and teeth before the final fade....

Also, it must be said, we’ve seen more than enough of Harvey. As the title promises, She Said is a film driven and told by the women of its story, including the array of voices whose accounts were collected by the New York Times reporters Megan Twohey and Jodi Kantor. And the voices documented are more than just heard by the picture; they’re also more than seen… these stories are felt in a quiet yet ultimately devastating 128 minutes that chronicle what many consider to be the first domino of the #MeToo movement....
