Set four years later and in a post-apocalyptic hellscape where all of South Korea has been abandoned as a wasteland for the walking dead, Peninsula has turned a whole nation into a long-running train of death—somehow we suspect Snowpiercer director Bong Joon-ho would approve. With that said, Peninsula is not just going to be taking place in the wide-open spaces if its Mad Max-like remnants of “society” are any indication in the below trailer....

From the dynamically retooled opening title sequence to the Jack-centric Transylvania storyline, it takes only moments to recognize that Van Helsing’s fifth and final season promises to take fans on a wild ride as it brings to a close its delightfully circuitous tale of horror’s most iconic vampire hunting family. Season premiere “Past Tense” doesn’t represent the first time the Van Helsing family story finds itself in the past, but there seems to be a more concerted effort this time to employ traditional time travel elements as the unanswered questions mount....

Vikings Season 6 Episode 20 “I left when the sadness became too much.” There’s a certain sadness that accompanies the moment we must say goodbye to the beloved characters of a television series that captivates so much of our emotional capital and also demands we examine our own spirituality and moral principles. Vikings has reached the end of its run, and while some may find the conclusion somewhat dissatisfying, the acknowledgement that the past must be left behind resonates powerfully not only throughout the series finale, but the entire back half of the season as well....

So as a TV reviewer I should start a review super dignified right? Maybe begin this one like my last few reviews where I talk about Voltron: Legendary Defender’s realation to the original series or how it’s one of the best things on TV. I won’t be doing that this time. Because Voltron: Legendary Defender has transcended anything I ever thought possible. It has crossed a new plateau. Reached beyond the heavens and returned to us something that we thought lost forever....

Fittingly for such an episode, the show’s sitcom homages experience quite a bump as well. After honoring Family Ties, Full House, and other ‘80s and early ‘90s TV comedies in episode 5, this installment speeds ahead to the more experimental 2000s. Fox’s superb Malcolm in the Middle is in the driver’s seat this time and both Tommy and Billy are our precocious protagonists. Here are the many ways in which WandaVision episode 6 honors sitcom history....

Like episode 4 before it, WandaVision episode 8 drops the show’s sitcom homage format entirely to delve deeper into the context of the world outside the hexagon and Wanda’s own history. That doesn’t mean, however, that “Previously On…” still doesn’t find the time to shout out some classic television. In fact, this penultimate installment may feature WandaVision’s most important sitcom reference yet by taking things back to the very first episode with the help of The Dick Van Dyke Show....

Hello, and welcome to our WandaVision episode 8 magic explainer. Before you go any further, please be aware that we’ll be going into big spoiler territory, so if you haven’t yet seen this week’s installment, avert your eyes immediately. The eighth episode of Marvel’s first MCU spinoff was largely expository in nature, as Agatha Harkness (Katherine Hahn) forced Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) on a trip down memory lane. First, we saw the incident Wanda originally described in Avengers: Age of Ultron where she and her twin brother Pietro were trapped by a Stark Industries bomb as children in Sokovia, then we cruised by Strucker’s lab to check out one of the experiments that HYDRA performed on Wanda using Loki’s stolen scepter and the Mind Stone, before wandering down to SWORD headquarters to witness the dismantling of Vision’s vibranium body....

WandaVision Episode 9 How do you end a series like WandaVision? Well, if the ninth and final episode of the Disney+ show is anything to go by, then the answer is… busily. Beginning with an intense and almost jarringly fast-paced action sequence that spanned most of the first two acts of the 42 minute run time, “The Series Finale” is fully aware of all it had to answer. And for the most part, Matt Shakman and Jac Schaeffer do a solid job of tying up the many loose ends....

Netflix’s Wednesday certainly delivered thick and fast with the mysteries and twists this season, so you’ll be forgiven if you weren’t entirely able to keep up. Forget “lions and tigers and bears, oh my!” like The Wizard Of Oz, this creepy and kooky teen (played by Jenna Ortega) wasted no time before falling into trouble at Nevermore Academy. After that, life-threatening danger just kept on coming her way. But while Wednesday definitely went wrong on more than one occasion, it turns out this macabre character was on to something when it came to monsters – both human and supernatural....

The first trailer for The Wolf of Snow Hollow is certainly promising enough. Cut around the final performance of the late great Robert Forster, the teaser suggests this is not your quietest of sleepy towns. Take Cummings’ lead performance as Sheriff John Marshall. John is reeling from a failed marriage, an estranged and rebellious daughter, and a lackluster police department drowning around him. And all of these vulnerabilities are going to be tested during the rise of each full moon....

The course, conducted with Curtis Brown Creative, will consist of six units, each including a filmed lecture on a specific topic, and written course materials, discussion, writing exercises, hints and hacks, reading lists and links to other resources. Starting from ‘the fundamentals of science fiction’, the course will take students through generating ideas to worldbuilding, style and structure, and how to write characters, as well as thoughts on what to do next....

As someone who has previously lamented the decline of Star Wars video games over the years, it’s that aspect of the show that fascinates me most. What has The Mandalorian figured out that recent Star Wars games still haven’t? What is it about The Mandalorian that turns even jaded fans into believers? While The Mandalorian may not hold all of the answers, Star Wars video games could still learn a few things from the live-action TV series when it comes to how to tell exciting modern stories in the galaxy far, far away....

Boredom, tedious, tiresome, flat. These are not the first words which jump to mind when thinking of vampires or comedy, but What We Do in the Shadows wields them like secret weapons without sacrificing a single laugh or scare. The FX horror farce, which is a series adaptation of the 2014 feature film created by Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement, follows four vampires. They have been roommates since, well, forever, but one is different from the rest....

There is a very different vibe at the Staten Island vampire house in the aftermath of “The Portrait,” and it has little to do with the oil-based nuances captured by Donal Logue. Artistic master-stokes are usually reserved for Laszlo (Matt Berry). What We Do in the Shadows’ season 3 finale seemingly leaves the vampire housemates not only scattered, but with all their plans shattered. Nandor (Kayvan Novak) gets stuck with a train ticket, like Ilsa left Rick standing on a platform in the rain with his insides kicked out in Casablanca....

Based on the gothic short story “The Mask of the Red Death: A Fantasy,” the film remains the most ambitious installment in Corman’s Edgar Allen Poe cycle of movies, contrasting the bleak landscape of a dying village with the psychological torment of six rooms of color, and one with no color at all, just a deep black with a blood red crimson glow cast on it. Vincent Price stars as the sadistic and satanic Prince Prospero, whose darkness reigns over his dominions....

The Game of Thrones prequel is heating up with three major lead additions to the House of the Dragon ensemble. With the casting of Matt Smith, Olivia Cooke, and Emma D’Arcy, significant pedigree has been added to the series, particularly for either Doctor Who or British Royal Family enthusiasts with regard to Smith. And it also feels a lot more tangible for fans looking on from the outside. However, other than a brief mention of who the new cast members are playing—Daemon Targaryen, Alicent Hightower, and Rhaenyra Targaryen—not much in the initial press release blast is preparing you for the high stakes courtly intrigue that is to come....

But who is the MOST awful? Now the third season is upon us, we’ve attempted to break down the contemptible behaviour and deep seated damage behind it, to work out exactly which Roy, and Roy-adjacent character is the actual worst. We’ve stuck to the main extended family here – anyone trying to argue that Gerri, Frank, Jamie or Rhea are as terrible as the Roys can, well, [insert Logan’s catch phrase here]....

You may have heard the recent news about an unopened copy of Sonic the Hedgehog that sold for over $400,000 (and how even Sonic creator Yuji Naka thought it was a scam). Believe it or not, that sale was actually on the lower end of high-value retro game deals, as shortly before that sale occurred, a sealed copy of Super Mario Bros. sold for an insane $2 million. Given such ludicrous prices, one can’t help but wonder what is happening in the retro gaming market....

In development since 2017, the show was intended to honor Sunrise animation’s 1998 sci-fi neo noir classic while hopefully introducing its world to a new generation of fans. Prior to the Cowboy Bebop’s release, Netflix even unveiled a trailer to depict how the show would closely mimic the anime’s kinetic style. Now it looks like all those high hopes were for naught. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Netflix has canceled Cowboy Bebop just a few weeks after its Nov....

Obviously, there was a certain amount of negotiation that had to happen behind the scenes between Warner Bros. Television, which produced Manifest for NBC, and Netflix, but the timing of the announcement wasn’t completely coincidental. The show centers on the passengers of Flight 828 who gain powers after their plane jumps forward in time five years, and the renewal was announced on August 28 — 8/28 — a number that was sure to resonate with fans....
