As part of his promotional tour for the aforementioned Russian romp – which has satirical mastermind Armando Iannucci (Alan Partridge, The Thick Of It, Veep) at its helm – Isaacs sat with us for twenty minutes in a swanky London hotel to have a ruddy good chat. As I shuffled in and sat down, Isaacs explained that he’s a little on the tired side, because he stayed up late the night before to watch the new Star Trek: Discovery episode (the fifth one)....
Thirty years later, there are precious few flashes of that same, simple childhood wonder in this long in the tooth franchise. Early in Jurassic World Dominion, Bryce Dallas Howard’s Claire Dearing rescues a baby triceratops from the cruelties of man when she stumbles upon one in a cage. And for the first time since Jurassic World dropped “Park” from the title, the filmmakers are again using delightful animatronics instead of only CGI....
Killing Eve Season 2 Episode 8 Killing Eve set the tone for its season 2 finale early: Eve heard gunshots outside her room, kicking off a sequence that led to Villanelle slitting Aaron Peel’s throat while making him watch, all within the first fifteen minutes. Where do we go from here? the two women were left wondering while the audience glanced at the clock and had much the same experience. This season started off strong and faltered a bit when Villanelle became too much a part of Eve’s world, their interactions too commonplace to have the kind of strange, stabby spark that makes the show so electric....
But then, on the 7th of September 1987, like lightning in the dark, came CITV’s Knightmare. Enter, Stranger… Knightmare was a four-player, live-action, D&D-inspired, CGI, VR, RPG for kids – not to mention a boon for acronym enthusiasts everywhere. It ran for eight seasons from 1987 to 1994, garnering millions of viewers, and exciting children’s imaginations in ways that few other shows had succeeded. The concept was straightforward: a team of four kids worked together either to escape a dungeon (earlier seasons), or embark on a quest for a sacred object across a mythical landscape (later seasons)....
Who is Ada’s father? It’s the question asked in the very first shot of Valdimar Jóhannsson’s Lamb, as an unseen person (or animal) treks through a frigid Christmas Eve snow, looking for comfort. I doubt I was the only viewer to be suspicious about the characters we meet, particularly when brother Pétur (Björn Hlynur Haraldsson) shows up on the farm unannounced later in the movie. Could he be Ada’s father?...
First off, let’s be very clear that the leaked footage in question is about as unofficial as it gets. At the time of this writing, there has been no official word regarding the leaked footage’s authenticity. Furthermore, the footage itself is quite strange. It looks like a recording of an internal demo captured via cell phone by what appears to be a notably shirtless man. Obviously, that’s not the ideal way to view gameplay footage, if the footage itself is indeed authentic....
Yet, Legends ultimately pulled off the switch in style, using this second iteration to explore central truths about who Zari is through a very different lens. And according to actress Tala Ashe, the heart of Zari’s journey hasn’t actually changed that much just because this incarnation of the character loves stilettos and juice cleanses. “I think sometimes people forget, [Zari 2.0] is the same person,” Ashe tells Den of Geek....
FX’s Legion, which first premiered five years ago today, exists outside of the Marvel continuity…like way, way outside of it. This series borrows some of the X-Men characters owned by Fox at the time (which is now, of course, owned by Marvel’s parent company Disney) to present a trippy, auteurist vision from Fargo creator Noah Hawley. Anybody who tells you that they understood everything that happened in Legion is lying....

“There were so many things happening in Spider-Man: No Way Home that we probably were too overwhelmed to catch them all. From seeing Tom Holland’s Spider-Man struggle with his own life and identity to having our favorite villains back in action, the movie was a lot to take in in one sitting. As someone who has now seen it three times, I only just saw some of what Happy Hogan does on my third watch....

“Yeah, definitely. I’ve successfully been Patrick, actually, and balded up, although maybe again, the young Jean-Luc wouldn’t be bald. But yeah, no, maybe I’m overqualified for it, though. That’s the other thing. Do you know what I mean? It’s too easy, it’s too obvious a choice. So maybe that turns people off from it.” Read more at Collider Release the Taylor Cut?

“It wasn’t that long ago that Hwang Dong-hyuk didn’t seem up for more Squid Game, telling Variety, ‘It is quite tiring just thinking about it.’ Then, the show exploded in popularity around the world, becoming Netflix’s most-watched series.

Now, Hwang says he’s even in talks for a third.” Read more at Kotaku Star Wars and movie fans across the globe remember the late Carrie Fisher 5 years after her tragic passing....

Oh, and there’s a plethora of other stuff coming as well. “From Star Wars to Marvel to National Geographic, Disney+ is chock-full of original shows and movies, and that list is only getting longer.

Anticipation for Marvel’s Loki has been sky high ever since the show was first announced. WandaVision broke hearts and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier broke boundaries, but Loki has promised to break our brains with a sprawling, time travel-heavy plot that might have massive consequences for the MCU multiverse in upcoming entries like Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and Spider-Man: No Way Home. Make no mistake, there’s a ton of complex stuff going down in the first episode of Loki, but as Owen Wilson’s Mobius M....

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, The Rings of Power showrunner Patrick McKay said that he and fellow showrunner J.D. Payne expect to work on season 2 for “another couple years.” Which is no surprise seeing as their goals for season 2 are to be “bigger and better” on “every level … by an order of magnitude.” How exactly season 2 will be bigger or better is yet to be determined, but it’s nice to know that this team isn’t looking to diminish the quality or scale of the show just to get it out into the world faster....
