Netflix’s decision to split Ozark’s final season into two separate parts seems to have worked. Audiences are left impatiently wondering what will happen to Marty Byrde (Jason Bateman), Wendy Byrde (Laura Linney), and Ruth Langmore (Julia Garner) when the hit crime series returns for its final run this summer. Ozark season 4 episode 7 leaves off with Ruth furiously threatening to kill the Byrde patriarch after she thinks that they are to blame for the death of her cousin, Wyatt (Charlie Tahan)....

When Microsoft bought Activision Blizzard, numerous titles officially joined the Xbox family. Some, like Gabriel Knight and Guitar Hero, have been in hibernation for years, while others, such as Call of Duty, are among the most lucrative games on the market. Now that Microsoft owns that iconic shooter series, many gamers are worried it will become an Xbox/Windows exclusive. Microsoft says that they intend to honor existing contracts with rival platforms, so Call of Duty: Warzone fans won’t suddenly lose PlayStation support overnight, but the keyword in that arrangement is existing contracts....

So far as that goes, you should first know that it’s not possible to catch any of the game’s Legendary Pokémon until the very end of the game’s main story (most of them can only be caught after completing the game’s main story). That being the case, you really should feel free to just play the game at your preferred pace and just enjoy yourself before you start fretting about whether or not you’ve missed your chance....

Who knew the secret to the Predator franchise’s future was to always go back in time? It seems director Dan Trachtenberg did! This weekend’s Prey is the culmination of years of passion, and years of planning, from the filmmaker who wrested the Predator movies away from their recent and failed experiments of franchise-building in the future. Instead the new movie finds a simple and potent blend of historical fiction and sci-fi fantasy when one of those aliens from above decides to go hunting on Comanche lands during the early 1700s....

Lee Child’s Jack Reacher franchise has become something of a big deal. Across the last couple of decades, the crime-thriller series has garnered hundreds of millions of dollars in combined sales between books, movies, and merchandise. The titular protagonist has garnered a cult following for his combination of masculine fortitude and wily problem solving. It’s the type of setup that really deserves long-form storytelling, and that’s why the film adaptation of the novels was disappointing for fans of Child’s work....

In a new post on Instagram, the actor seemed confidently ‘done’ with playing straight characters, including his long running role as Prison Break’s Michael Scofield. Miller previously came out as gay back in August 2013 after penning a letter on GLAAD’s website about how “deeply troubled” he was by the Russian government’s treatment of LGBT citizens. Miller played the role of Scofield over five seasons on Fox from 2006 to 2017, which included a later revival....

“Today, we’re thrilled to introduce two new colors that will be joining the DualSense controller lineup starting next month: Midnight Black and Cosmic Red,” reads a post on the PlayStation blog. “Midnight Black features two subtly different shades of black with light grey detailing to reflect how we view space through the night sky, and Cosmic Red offers a striking black and red design inspired by the unique vivid shades of red found throughout the cosmos....

In Resident Evil Village, Ethan is dropped into a haunted European village, where he’ll have to survive a gauntlet of monsters, including werewolves and witches. Then there’s Lady Alcina Dimitrescu, the giant vampire villain who has taken the fandom by storm since she was first revealed. Here’s what you need to know about the new game’s most interesting baddie: Taller Than the Tallest Human Before Resident Evil developer Capcom revealed her name, the villain was referred to as “Tall Vampire Lady” on social media, and for good reason: she’s 9’6”!...

Johnson recently provided a potent answer to a fan’s question on Twitter about an unrealized concept for The Last Jedi that would have seen Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) reunite with a spectral version his formerly wayward father, Anakin Skywalker, played by Christensen. As it turns out, the idea was ultimately nixed in favor of a key scene in which Luke instead has a more familiar reunion with Ghost Yoda. When asked if he ever considered including Force Ghost Anakin, Johnson explains, “Briefly for the tree burning scene, but Luke’s relationship was with Vader not really Anakin, which seemed like it would complicate things more than that moment allowed....

Rick and Morty Season 5 Episode 6 Happy Thanksgiving, for some reason! This is another episode that brings back one of Rick’s recurring frenemies, the President of the United States as played by Keith David, to deal with a world-ending catastrophe the two caused themselves in a display of sci-fi power dick-measuring. Keith David has an awesome voice, so it’s always nice to hear him reprising this role and he gets so much to do here that it’s really more like an episode of Rick and Morty and the President....

Rick and Morty Season 6 Episode 10 Nobody is going to believe me, but I actually had one more paragraph at the end of my review last week in which I worried there’d be a reveal in this week’s finale that would render how nice Rick had been to Morty entirely moot and make me look like an idiot. Unfortunately, I removed said paragraph because I felt my review would “read better” and now I’ve lost the staggering amount of credibility I’d built up with the Rick and Morty fanbase!...

Saints Row is the long-awaited return to open-world, gang-centric mayhem that audiences love (with a few notable changes to the series’ tone and sense of humor). While this reboot takes place in the fictional city of Santo Ileso instead of series-regular locations like Stilwater and Steelport, the focus is once again on customization, mayhem, and freeform gameplay. Players will be on a quest to make a name for their up-and-coming gang and can even create protagonists who look as imposing or goofy as they want....

An unflinching look at society’s insistence on maintaining a “work/life balance,” Severance introduced us to the idea of the “severance” process, or the process of implanting a chip into one’s brain in order to surgically separate work and life memories. Colloquially, the worker portion is called an “innie” and the life portion is called an “outie.” The first season of the show follows four innies in the Macrodata Refinement department of a shady corporation called Lumon as they begin to question their existence and then rebel outright against it....

She-Hulk Episode 7 Part of the appeal of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law is that it so wholeheartedly embraces its sitcom format. So, we probably shouldn’t be surprised that this week’s installment opens with a kind of adorable dating montage where we get to see Jen get all giddy about finally going out with that nice guy Josh she met at her friend’s wedding last week. But, because this is also a Marvel show with supervillains in it, maybe we should have known that there was more going on here than just a cute date....

After all, Microsoft had spent the last couple of years marketing Halo Infinite as a killer app for the Xbox Series X, a title that was going to be so much more than an Xbox Series X launch game. It was positioned to be the system-seller that the Xbox One struggled to find, not to mention the first Halo installment to launch with an Xbox console since the original Halo: Combat Evolved, the game that revolutionized multiplayer shooters and breathed life into Microsoft’s fledgling gaming brand in the early 2000s....

Celia Rose Gooding as Cadet Nyota Uhura Of the three characters on this list, Uhura is by far the most iconic and by far the characters who got the most to do in The Original Series and beyond. That being said, Nyota Uhura, a character made famous by the wonderful Nichelle Nichols, generally didn’t get as much complex material as her mostly white, male co-workers and Uhura is the only member of the TOS crew to have not been seen after the events of the final classic Star Trek film....

Star Wars: The Bad Batch Episode 3 In Star Wars, as in most other media, the main character may not be the most creative figure but does need to be the one who grows and changes. Luke Skywalker went from farm boy to full-fledged Jedi Knight between A New Hope and Return of the Jedi; Anakin Skywalker became literally unrecognizable over the course of two trilogies. For now, the characters of The Bad Batch remind me of Luke at the end of A New Hope: their triumphs and foes are compelling, but they haven’t really gestured toward a path to dramatic change yet....

But if Andor‘s Fiona Shaw is to be believed, the series will also separate itself from other Disney+ shows in a more substantial way: “Our world is exploding in different places right now, people’s rights are disappearing, and Andor reflects that,” the actor told Empire Magazine. For Shaw, this quality comes from showrunner Tony Gilroy, who also directed extensive reshoots for Rogue One. “Tony has written a great, scurrilous [take] on the Trumpian world,” Shaw declared....

This isn’t promising. As a TV show, Strike‘s appeal has never been the ingenuity of its cases, with their cardboard characters, pantomime twists and baroque plotting. Instead, it’s always been about the chemistry between leads Tom Burke and Holliday Grainger, and an all-round sense of retro comfort. In the first episode of four-part series Troubled Blood, the chemistry was missing and the retro comfort had been swapped for a retro case that sucked the energy out....

According to the series creator and showrunner Jesse Armstrong, HBO executives encouraged him to wait things out until they could have as normal a filming experience as possible “rather than have Logan do a series of Webinars we can put out on HBO Max.” The wait paid off as HBO announced today that Succession season 3 will be arriving in full this October. The network didn’t nail down a specific date yet but let it be known that Sunday, October 17 (the week after Indigenous Peoples Day) looks pretty juicy....
