Prince-Bythewood is a busy creator, but, when Den of Geek had a chance to talk to talk to Pokaski at San Diego Comic-Con, you better believe we inquired about the possibility of the feature film director returning to helm an episode of Season 2. “Gina and I have an unofficial, nonlegal pact,” said Pokaski, “that I’m like, ‘When are you coming back?’ And she’s like, ‘When Tandy and Tyrone get together....
There’s a lot to cover when it comes to the New-Year-ringing Cobra Kai Season 3 trailer, but by far the biggest takeaway from the clip is the confirmed return of Part II’s main villain, Chozen (Yuji Okumoto), and Daniel’s love interest in that film, Kumiko (Tamlyn Tomita). The scenes in the trailer may be brief, but the characters’ return to the mythos—after having last appeared in the 1986 film sequel—appears profound for the series, especially since it marks the first time—barring a scene that name-dropped Part III villains Terry Silver and Mike Barnes—that the series has truly delved beyond the narrative of the 1984 original film for backstory, making it a broader expansion of the overall Karate Kid continuity....
Throughout the series, Cobra Kai has taken Easter egging to new levels with constant shout outs to the original Karate Kid film trilogy. Season 3 saw some major throwbacks with the return of Ali (Elisabeth Shue), Chozen (Yuji Okumoto), Kumiko (Tamlyn Tomita), and more. That was a hard act to follow, but the return of Terry Silver (Thomas Ian Griffith) was an enormous Easter egg from Karate Kid Part III, tapping the franchise’s deep lore....
After years of jokes, F9 saw director Justin Lin do the unthinkable and send Dom Toretto’s “family” into space. This time, however, there was no significant blowback on the seemingly critic-proof action franchise, with F9 going on to make over $700 million dollars while earning plaudits for its continuing ability to defy the laws of physics at the box office. Now, with audiences increasingly happy to disregard logic for entertainment’s sake, and studios forever thirsting for an opportunity to resurrect popular film properties, everything is on the table, including, as it just so happens, the works of Nicolas Cage....
Because it tells a story about an under-represented and largely dismissed cross-section of the community, Confronting a Serial Killer focuses on the victims. Even the journalist spearheading the investigation is a survivor. Putting a human face and voice to statistics is a slowly growing trend in true crime coverage. It was recently done in Peacock Originals’ John Wayne Gacy: Devil in Disguise. But the Killer Clown is one of the most recognizable names in the history of homicide....
Counterpart Season 1 Episode 6 An interesting side effect to the slower pacing of the story in Counterpart is that when there’s a big reveal, it has a ton of impact without changing the rhythm significantly. The ending of “Act Like You’ve Been Here Before” arrives like the apocryphal fable of the frog placed in warm water slowly rising to a boil who doesn’t notice the danger until he’s cooked. When the cloud of mistrust around Quayle is presented together with Baldwin’s suspicion of her new friend, Greta, it’s enough to make everyone paranoid, whether character or viewer....
Curb Your Enthusiasm Season 9 Episode 7 Last week’s “The Accidental Text on Purpose” was the first Curb Your Enthusiasm that seemed like an episode of Modern Seinfeld. Now one week later, “Namaste” blows right past Modern Seinfeld and becomes the first Curb Your Enthusiasm to feel like an episode of Black Mirror. Larry steps right into “Nosedive” in “Namaste” as he discovers that he has become what he was always destined to be: a 1-star Uber passenger....

The mission statement of DC Universe is right there in its name. It really does want fans to look at it as the primary portal into, well, the DC Universe, and it makes no distinction between comics, movies, TV, or animated interpretations of its characters. DC has always traded on the concept of its Multiverse as a key point of difference in its mythology. While most of their comics take place in one prime timeline, DC long ago embraced string theory, postulating that alternate versions of their characters, contradictory continuity elements, and more can all be explained by the existence of a Multiverse in which all things are possible....
I lived in New York most of my life and don’t remember hearing about any of this, but maybe that’s because day-to-day life often doesn’t play out like a Jerry Bruckheimer movie, which is what Deliver Us from Evil is. And make no mistake: while Scott Derrickson is credited as the director and co-screenwriter (with Paul Harris Boardman) on this picture, it plays a lot less like Derrickson’s previous, very creepy horror films — 2005’s The Exorcism of Emily Rose and 2012’s Sinister — and more like a typical Bruckheimer action smash-‘em-up combined with one of his gazillion TV police procedurals of the day (C....
The first happened when I unlocked the door to one of the game’s first bosses. Excited by my progress, I ran down a stairwell to a nearby shortcut, took a wrong turn, and fell to my death. I could have easily walked into the boss room from the respawn point, but I was determined to retrieve my lost souls. Because I had died before actually unlocking the next shortcut, that meant having to risk going through the entire level again....
Diablo Immortal isn’t just a mobile game with questionable microtransactions; it’s the first Diablo game that tries to incorporate more traditional MMO elements. Few of those classic MMO concepts fit the Diablo series better than the addition of world bosses like the Fleshcraft Hydra and Sandstone Golem. As is the case with many MMOs, Diablo Immortal‘s world bosses are not easy to beat or even challenge. They’re designed to offer epic encounters that require a group effort to overcome, and that’s exactly what they provide....
In a video chat interview with Indiewire, Luna—quarantined in his Mexico City home—discusses his next career step. The actor started by divulging the good news that his children, who had been infected by the coronavirus, have recovered and returned home from a quarantine. He subsequently revealed that he’s taking an indefinite break from his starring role on the Netflix fact-based crime drama, Narcos: Mexico, to tackle the untitled Cassian Andor series, which was set to commence production in 2020 before the COVID-19 pandemic....
The first Master story my son ever saw was ‘Spyfall’, last year (yes, it was only last year). A bit later we finally began the pilgrimage and watched the entire New Series over the space of eight or nine months. ‘Spyfall’ clearly had an impact, because every time a new character in a suit turned up, he’d immediately point to the screen and tell me “That’s the Master!” So, when a mysterious, arch, obviously evil figure in a dapper black suit shows up and people begin to ponder whether he could, in fact, be our favourite renegade Time Lord (now that the Doctor doesn’t count) my first response is scepticism....
Having appeared at a few conventions and bumping into some of his successors recently, Eccleston seems more at peace with his legacy. It was a difficult time for him personally, but what an impact he has had on Doctor Who. As mentioned here, casting an actor of Eccleston’s reputation and stature immediately suggested this show was a serious proposition, disconnecting it from a variety of baggage. As there was no guarantee Doctor Who would survive for more than one series, Eccleston’s departure meant that the Ninth Doctor had a complete character arc....
The resulting list is, therefore, more subjective than usual because there’s an element of autobiography to it. This isn’t a 36-year-old man trying to objectively list the 15 scariest Doctor Who stories, this is a 36-year-old man trying to remember which Doctor Who stories have scared him the most and in what context. Where possible I’ll try to offer some examples of similarly scary episodes, hopefully including the more objectively scary stories along the way....
The answer is both! Doom Patrol Season 2 will be available to stream on both DC Universe and HBO Max. Not only that but HBO Max has all 15 episodes of Doom Patrol season 1 available at launch. Fans and critics alike have championed Doom Patrol from the start and now it seems as though Warner thinks as highly of it as everyone else does. Doom Patrol Season 2 should have been a given....
After some uncertainty as to whether admired French Canadian director Denis Villeneuve would be able to complete his mission to adapt Dune into more than one movie, Legendary Pictures and Warner Bros. have struck a deal for Dune: Part Two, and there are now three major roles that need to be cast for it: Emperor Shaddam IV, Princess Irulan and Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen, who will all be key to the next part of the story when it’s released theatrically on October 20, 2023....
While it’s entirely possible to play Elden Ring on PC and not encounter significant performance problems, most PC players can expect to encounter some technical issues at some point. FromSoftware has been pushing out patches for the game, but it seems like some of those patches may have actually exasperated the game’s issues rather than address them as intended. So while there are quite a few technical problems you may encounter while playing Elden Ring on PC, here is how to fix a few of the most common issues....
You probably assume that Elden Ring‘s Legendary sorceries have to be among the most powerful spells in the game. While there are a few that deserve that honor, the strange fact of the matter is that most Legendary spells are more flashy than functional. The journey required to acquire them is often more significant than the reward itself. Still, anyone interested in unlocking every Elden Ring achievement or simply seeing everything this game has to offer will need to know where to find the game’s collection of Legendary spells....
