Fans have waited a long time for Atlanta season 3. The FX comedy (among other genres) created by and starring Donald Glover last aired on May 10, 2018. After that, Glover got busy with his multi-hyphenate career – winning a Grammy as his musical alter ego Childish Gambino, starring as Lando Calrissian in Solo: A Star Wars Story, and even directing his own feature film, Guava Island. By the time Glover and the rest of the Atlanta crew were ready to reconvene, the global COVID-19 pandemic delayed ever further....

Netflix’s cancelation of Away, confirmed by the major trades, arrives less than two months after the 10-episode season hit the platform back on September 4. While the series was purportedly generating high viewership, and spent several weeks on Nielsen’s recently introduced streaming top 10 ranking (on which it peaked at #2), the reason for the cancelation—and its abruptness—has been attributed to being on the wrong side of cost vs. audience analyses....

Barry Season 3 Episode 6 Everyone is out to get Barry Berkman, or at least that what it seems like in “710N.” Fuches’ spiteful revenge plot looks like it’s reaching each person that’s been impacted by Barry’s actions through the first two seasons. As a result, the back half of this season is almost like the plot of a John Wick movie, if instead of equally trained assassins, regular everyday Joe’s were trying to take down the legendary hitman....

The memories of those early breaks reemerged in a recent awards screening Q&A that Damon moderated with Affleck for the latter’s new film The Way Back. Clearly a personal passion project for Affleck, the sports drama about a high school basketball coach with a drinking problem netted Affleck some of the best reviews of his career, and has now made both Damon and Affleck nostalgic for the type of dramas they enjoyed making starting out—and hope to continue, including with their anticipated reunion due later this year: Ridley Scott’s The Last Duel....

The Housemaid (1960) Considered one of the best Korean films of all time, it’s difficult to overstate the influence The Housemaid has had on generations of Korean and international filmmakers—this includes Bong Joon-ho, whose Oscar-winning Parasite was inspired by this iconic 1960s black-and-white domestic melodrama. The Housemaid tells the story of Kim Dong-sik (Kim Jin-kyu), a piano teacher who gives lessons to young women working at a local factory. When Kim’s family decides to hire one of those women to help with the housework while Mrs....

One way or another, everyone pays for their sins in the Breaking Bad universe. There are very few, if any, happy endings for the citizens of Vince Gilligan’s Albuquerque. Usually these endings are of the violent variety. Gus Fring (Giancarlo Esposito) is killed by the ghost of revenge’s past. Mike Ehrmantraut (Jonathan Banks) is killed by the hotheaded amateur he knew he should have never trusted. In one last act of hubris, Walter White (Bryan Cranston) is killed by gunfire from his own device, robbing the cancer in his body of its chance to end his journey just as it started it....

From French developer Cyanide Studios (Styx), Call of Cthulhu faithfully captures the distinctly macabre atmosphere of its source material, Chaosium’s Lovecraftian tabletop game of the same name, which released in the early ‘80s. It’s a first-person detective game requiring sharp focus and a cerebral approach rather than quick reflexes, and while its inky, morbid aesthetic suggests heavy survival horror gameplay, the experience falls squarely in the psychological horror category, with your character’s sanity constantly threatening to unspool as you confront the main story’s cavalcade of horrors....

Call of Duty: Vanguard is here, and since we’re a few weeks away from Warzone‘s Pacific update, now is the best time to lose yourself in this game’s multiplayer modes and start experimenting with its best guns. We’ll talk about this more throughout this breakdown, but most of the best guns in Vanguard at the moment tend to be closer-range weapons that are fairly easy to control and boast fast time-to-kill potential....

Warzone 2 is finally here, which means that battle royale players will soon be dropping into the game’s new map, Al Mazrah, for the first time. That also means that those players will be looking for the map’s best new drop spots. As is usually the case with battle royale games, finding the best drop points in Warzone 2 depends on your preferences, situation, and timing. If, for instance, you find yourself flying into the northern part of the map, it may not be worth it to wait for an ideal drop point all the way to the south....

It’s explosive and unprecedented opening coincided (and perhaps helped drive) a new wave of Stephen King adaptations, both as movies and TV productions, and new generations of filmmakers and hungry-for-content streaming services eagerly tapped into the author’s vast collection of works. As of last year, some 25 projects based on King novels, novellas, or short stories were said to be in development, but of all those, only three—all limited television series—have made it to their respective streaming platforms....

Castle Rock season 2 has come to an end. The season finale, “Clean,” ties up a few loose ends but leaves some of the show’s biggest mysteries unsolved. Who is the Angel and are he and the Kid one and the same? Where is Henry Deaver? What’s next for Annie Wilkes? With Castle Rock season 3 yet to be confirmed by Hulu, it’s unclear if we’ll get answers to all of these questions....

On May 1, 1987, almost 90 years to the day of the publication of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Konami released Castlevania in North America. The studio’s timing was as deliberate as its game design. Castlevania was meant to pay homage to Dracula and the popular horror universe the book had cultivated since its initial release. That same romantic individual from earlier might tell you that the release of Castlevania symbolized the passing of a torch....

Linda H. Davis is the author of Charles Addams: A Cartoonist’s Life, the only biography written about Addams. She says the creator of The Addams Family would have mixed feelings about the continued success of his New Yorker magazine creations. Davis tells Den of Geek the artist would have been happily surprised by the characters’ endurance, “and very disappointed that he missed out on all the really big money.” The biographer also believes the films and series slightly missed their marks....

With Vincent D’Onofrio’s Wilson Fisk returning to menace the MCU in Hawkeye and Charlie Cox’s Matt Murdock rescuing Peter Parker in a Spider-Man: No Way Home cameo, fans are clamoring to see the rest of the Daredevil cast. No further casting has been officially announced, but actress Deborah Ann Woll has given us reason to hope that her character will soon be seen again. “I loved playing Karen Page,” Woll told host Aaron Sagers on Den of Geek’s Talking Strange podcast....

In the coming weeks, Den of Geek will be honoring the best TV, movies, games, books, and comics of 2020. To determine which properties belong on our year-end best-of lists, we have thought long and hard, polled the Den of Geek staff, and crunched the numbers. Most importantly however, we also want to hear from you. Gathered on this page are five ballots corresponding to each of our five beats: TV, Movies, Games, Books, and Comics....

Dexter: New Blood Episode 4 No one is ever who they say they are on Dexter. The quirky, socially awkward blood spatter guy? He’s a murderer. The Assistant District Attorney? He may be harboring murderous fantasies just waiting for an excuse to come out. The successful self-help guru? He’s fronting a human trafficking ring. We all hide parts of ourselves from the world, but in the world of Dexter, the sides that folks keep hidden are typically monstrous....

In one brief exchange in the latest Discovery episode—“Far From Home”—Georgiou (Michelle Yeoh) tells Nhan (Rachael Ancheril) that she stayed with Discovery for the jump to the future because “I like hopping from universe to universe.” On the one hand, we could read this line as exactly what it means: Georgiou is saying: yes, I was from the Mirror Universe of the 23rd Century, and now I live in the 32nd Century, but in a different universe....

As The Mandalorian approaches the season 2 finale, it seems that the show’s latest episode, “The Tragedy,” has lived up to its title—specifically for collectors of expensive toys. Just this past September, the official Star Wars figures producers of Hasbro Toys—via its HasLab crowdfund project—unveiled and successfully funded its second too-pricey-for-retail mega-vehicle: Din Djarin’s signature ship, the Razor Crest. The funding of the toy, which followed last year’s success with the massive Jabba’s Sail Barge (The Khetanna), will bring to life the magnificent starship, presented in-scale for the 3....

Elsewhere on Disney+, Maleficent: Mistress of Evil joins the library. Angelina Jolie heads up the sequel to 2014’s successful origin story, where we find Maleficent travelling to Aurora’s wedding to enjoy the nuptials, but when she runs into Prince Phillip’s mum (Michelle Pfeiffer) and finds out that she’s planning to destroy the land’s fairies, Maleficent enters Rage Mode. As you would. There’s also the second instalment of the Percy Jackson film series, Sea of Monsters, to watch in June....

The most obvious example of failure is the Doctor not ‘winning’, or doing so in a way that doesn’t meet their ideals (say, the story’s antagonist(s) succeeding in some way, or the Doctor only defeating them through violence). It’s rare that an antagonist will completely achieve their aims (Rasmussen in ‘Sleep No More’, for example, whose Sandmen-enabling Morpheus process was still broadcast despite the Doctor’s interventions), but there are several victories that feel hollow or partial....
