Netflix’s true crime division will machine to churn out content this November It starts early with the release of Killer Sally on Nov. 2 and goes all the way through to Take Your Pills: Xanax on Nov. 30. As that last example makes clear, true crime doesn’t always have to be about murder (though it so often is). In fact, this months’ Netflix true crime offerings are fairly diverse in subject matter....

Tulsa King, the latest in a long line of Paramount-backed Taylor Sheridan projects recently debuted and stars the legendary Syvlester Stallone as Mafia capo Dwight “Five Star” Manfredi, a fish out of water trying to establish a new kingdom in the sleepy outskirts of Tulsa, Oklahoma. When Stallone recently sat with Den of Geek and other outlets at a press roundtable, the one question on everyone’s mind was “why now?...

“Is It future? Or is it past?” When the One-Armed Man Mike (Al Strobel) posed that question to Special Agent Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) in the second part of Twin Peaks: The Return, he may very well have been echoing the thoughts of the viewers. After all, Mike asked that question while sitting in the Red Room, the interdimensional waiting room that became the signature location during the original two-season run of Twin Peaks, and the 1992 prequel film Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me....

With WandaVision dominating the conversation in the streaming world, and Falcon and the Winter Solider on deck for Disney+, there was no better time for AndaSeat to send us a Marvel Gaming Chair to unbox. The Marvel series from AndaSeat includes Captain America, Iron Man, Spider-Man, and Ant-Man. Yes, the Ant-Man chair is full-sized just like the others. Having our pick of the lot, we decided to go with the Captain America edition, and you’ll see why it’s one of their very best Marvel gaming chairs in a second....

In an already odd show, the commercials on WandaVision take an extra step into weirdness. While we know it’s part of the sitcom-within-a-show premise and is seen by those able to watch it, nobody has actually acknowledged or questioned them. Each one feels like part of the era the episode is copying, but they’re each cryptic and unique. WandaVision episode 6, “All-New Halloween Spooktacular,” features the fifth commercial so far....

The “bonkers” series, which is set to premiere on Disney+ on January 15, 2021, has teased a trip down sitcom memory lane, referencing everything from I Love Lucy to Roseanne, but in a new interview with Collider while promoting his upcoming film Uncle Frank, star Paul Bettany says that WandaVision will still be firmly grounded in the MCU. It could also, he teased, be a game-changer. “I think it’s going to make you think about the MCU in a whole brand new way but I do think that it’s absolutely a part of that universe,” Bettany said....

In the end, War of the Worlds was all about forgiveness and second chances. And particle accelerators and black holes. And killer robo-dogs and genocidal future humans and theoretical physics experiments saving the world. Basically: learn science and phone your mum is the take-home after seasons of this deep-thinking, dystopian drama. Season three went all in on the science-speak. With neurosurgeon Bill and astrophysicist Catherine as our lead characters, joined by newcomer astronauts Richard and Juliet, there was a great deal of ‘reverse the polarity of the neutron flow’ talk....

Riverdale Season 6 Episode 11 “Pop’s has endured for a reason, it’s Riverdale’s anchor.” Every now and again a moment of television comes along that is so transcendent that it immediately embeds itself into the fabric of our pop culture consciousness: Walter White running around in his tighty whities in the Breaking Bad pilot, Six Feet Under‘s “Breathe Me” death montage, and now, Tabitha Tate drinking a milkshake from the Holy Grail in the latest episode of Riverdale....

Westworld Season 2 Episode 10: The Passenger As it turns out, the second season of Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy’s infinitely tricky—sometimes to its own detriment—robo-revolution was not a journey into night. It was, here at the end of all things, about stepping out into the light. As Bernard 2.0 (or 3.0, if you count Arnold) makes his first tentative steps from the house that his likeness created and into the real world that Dolores covets, he is not playing a game or entering one of the showrunners’ dazzlingly maddening loops....

Stephen King is one of our most prolific authors dabbling predominantly in both horror and crime genres with near-equal success. With any successful novelist comes the inevitable film adaptations of their work. From debut wonders to slowburn success stories, Hollywood will sniff out the ones they think will make it on the silver screen. King is no exception. There are the classic adaptations such as Carrie and The Shining or the infamous adaptations of Maximum Overdrive and The Lawnmower Man....

One of these treasures about to hit the market is the new album from the musical collective started by Tool’s Maynard James Keenan; Puscifer. Though originally devised more as a solo project for Keenan with a rotating cast of musicians to help pave the way, in recent years, Puscifer has become more of a trio powerhouse at its core, with Mat Mitchell and Carina Round solidifying the line-up of talented songwriters....

Four words: Chessington World of Adventures You want action in this new Lord of the Rings series? You want something to make the Battle of Helm’s Deep look like the lacklustre dregs of a Sunday morning car boot sale? It’s waiting for you just off the A3, with ample parking, glamping options and a Gruffalo Gift Shop. Picture it: Sauron, servant of Morgoth, plunging 25 metres into the jaws of a giant crocodile at the new Croc Drop attraction....

Although Cosmo is canonically male in Marvel Comics, she was mistakenly misgendered by Howard the Duck (then voiced by Seth Green) when she licked the face of The Collector (Benicio del Toro) in the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie. Gunn has made Cosmo female in The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special, where she’s voiced by Borat 2’s Maria Bakalova. Her appearance doesn’t come as too much of a surprise, as Bakalova was confirmed at Comic-Con 2022 and Cosmo was teased in the Special Presentation’s marketing campaign and trailer....

Escape from L.A. is a dystopian satire where the U.S. government nationalized Christianity into a theocracy called the New Moral America, and elected Cliff Robertson’s President Adam as Chief Executive Officer for life. His first executive action is to deport the morally guilty – atheists, teenage runaways, drug dealers, abortion doctors, and other offenders – to the newly isolated island of Los Angeles. Riots, mudslides, fires, and earthquakes splintered the valley from the hills, and the only person who knows his way around town is “Map to The Stars Eddie,” played by Steve Buscemi....

Although it is never stated outright in the film, both screenwriter Roberto Orci and director J.J. Abrams publicly confirmed that the reason why the technology of the alternate 2258 looks so much more advanced than the 23rd century of The Original Series is that the USS Kelvin’s shuttles took scans of the time-traveling 24th century Romulan ship — the Narada. According to Orci, Starfleet clearly reverse-engineered the future-tech technology from the Narada to create more advanced technology, much earlier than they did in the Prime Timeline....

But not only did the Bee Gees create indelible dance staples like “Stayin’ Alive,” “Night Fever,” and “More Than a Woman,” but they had an entire career before Saturday Night Fever, one which was launched in the 1960s and yielded pop classics like “How Do You Mend a Broken Heart,” “To Love Somebody,” “Massachusetts,” “I Started a Joke,” and more, before their gradual turn toward R&B and dance with hits such as “Jive Talkin’” and “Nights on Broadway....

Wynonna Earp Season 2, Episode 6 After a cliffhanger ending in last week’s episode, Wynonna Earp had a lot of questions to answer this weekend. After all, it’s one thing to do the big reveal; it another thing to explore the implications of that big reveal. In this way, cliffhangers are relatively easier to pull off. How did Wynonna Earp do? Splendidly, of course. We never doubted this show! The implications of the big pregnancy reveal are ostensibly about how everyone deals with Wynonna’s pregnancy....

“In terms of future hardware, absolutely I think we’re going to see more console hardware down the road,” Spencer says. “Just like in video, just like in music, it’s not that streaming has cut off device innovation. I think we’ll continue to see that, and that’s absolutely what we’re planning for.” Spencer’s comments come in response to concerns that Microsoft’s aggressive growth of the Game Pass subscription service and xCloud gaming platform would seem to suggest that they could slowly be pivoting away from the console hardware business....
