Paul McCartney retreated to the remote musical getaway shortly after receiving the devastating news about the murder of John Lennon. Paul recorded Tug of War, one of his best post-Beatle works there, as well as Pipes of Peace. He flew in Stevie Wonder, who jammed at a local club until the early hours, for harmonic collaboration. The Rolling Stones reunited to record Steel Wheels, bringing Keith Richards together with Mick Jagger for the first time since their respective solo recordings....

Gamers have been eagerly awaiting the release of Stray ever since the indie title was announced in 2020. Now that the game is finally out, people are eating it up by playing it or watching it play out on Twitch. Regardless of how they’ve experienced one of the best games of 2022, quite a few people have walked away from Stray with more questions than answers. In Stray, players control a cat as they explore an underground city....

Now we get to see Princess Peach, Donkey Kong, some kart-driving action, and Luigi doing more than just screaming for his life (well, not MUCH more). We definitely have a better look at what this movie has to offer and with this broader scope comes plenty of easter Eggs. Mario has been in so many games, and crossed so many genres, that there’s plenty of source material for Illumination to pull from....

Superman & Lois Season 2 Episode 4 “She is a parasite.” That’s what Lois Lane tells her sister Lucy Lane (Jenna Dewan, reprising her Supergirl role) during an emotionally fraught flashback sequence in the latest episode of Superman & Lois. Lois is referring to Ally Allston, a cult leader who preaches something known as “The Inverse Method” (which also happens to be the title of this episode), and who has managed to ensnare Lucy during a particularly vulnerable point in her life....

Now that The Expanse—both the books and TV series—are over, fans of political space opera are looking for a new, epic series to dive into. Sweep of Stars offers that, pushing the space opera genre further with Maurice Broaddus‘ community-centered imagining of a postcolonial future that centers Black cultures and characters. Set 100 years in humanity’s future, Sweep of Stars follows and ensemble cast of characters in a space empire called Muungano, a Pan-African alliance of city-states stretching from Original Earth (O....

Season 2 found the overmatched football coach struggling with his mental health and unresolved trauma from his youth while the AFC Richmond squad battled to get promoted back into the Premier League. The season ended with Richmond successfully ascending to the top flight of English football, but in the process, the team lost “wonder kid” coach Nate (Nick Mohammed), who after feeling neglected by Ted all season defected to West Ham United, now owned by Rupert Mannion, the ex-husband of Hannah Waddingham’s delightful Rebecca Welton....

We decided it would be a blast to put on our corny caps, and figure out which sappy figures have the most memorable throughout history. Corny has a large variety of interpretations and definitions. Just because these characters are on this list, it doesn’t mean they’re not well-written or acted. It just means they’ve come to symbolize specific aspects of what makes television often outlandish. Danny Tanner – Full House I could have chosen any number of characters from the classic ‘80s sitcom Full House, but the widowed patriarch of the Tanner household takes the corny crown from his brother-in-law Jesse Katsopolis (John Stamos) and his best friend Joey Gladstone (Dave Coulier)....

But it is a children’s film, you say? Well, The Addams Family has always provided an alternative to feel-good, very special programming, Chas Addams slipped a demon in lowest common denominator. Addams’ family cartoons wore darkness on their sleeves unabashedly. Strangeness is alien, irreverence is a given, and sensitivities are open wounds screaming for salt.So why is this movie so precious? In the sequel to 2019’s animated adaptation of the Addams’ and their continuing exploits, Gomez (voiced by Oscar Isaac) takes the family on the road, traveling from Salem, Massachusetts, to Death Valley, the source of all happiness in America....

Here are some of the best cosplays we saw each day of the convention! Thursday The first day of the convention featured some Marvel-ous cosplay, including a life-sized LEGO figure of Carnage, fresh off the character’s breakthrough into mainstream media in Venom: Let There Be Carnage. A recreation of the villain Taskmaster, featured in Black Widow this past summer, was also at the Con. DC Comics were well represented, with popular female characters such as Wonder Woman, Starfire, and Raven being featured....

Of course horror movies can be scary simply by using loud noises and sudden movements to make their audiences jump, but creepy is harder to pull off. To be effectively creepy, a film needs to establish a certain atmosphere; it needs to draw you in and make you care. It needs to give you something to think about when you’re trying to drop off to sleep at night; to make you wonder whether that creaking noise down the hallway was just the house settling or something lurking in the shadows....

It’s become a staple of the series, with the genre as a whole looking to the James Bond movies for inspiration when crafting their own equipment. While the likes of the Kingsman and Johnny English series might have taken some of the gadgets a step further into comedic territory, the devices that 007 uses throughout his adventures can often be grounded in a hyper-reality that pulls from real-world technology but are defined by an imaginative edge....

It’s October! We can wear layers again! We can have far too heated arguments about whether pumpkin spice lattes are the downfall of civilization or are literally just a drink! Kick leaves along the pavement and then stop kicking leaves because there was something wet in that pile just there! It truly is the most wonderful time of the year. But the best thing about October, we can all agree, is that it’s the time to stick some fake fangs in, open a bottle of Vimto (because “I do not drink… wine”) and mainline as many scary movies as you can before the season is over and we move on to arguing about whether or not Die Hard is a Christmas movie....

This week we got a big first trailer, a TV spot, and a new poster for Sam Raimi’s Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, and they were packed full of so many interesting tidbits! Marvel Zombies! Wanda back in Westview! Strange Supreme! Defender Strange! Professor X! The Illuminati! Captain Carter! Rintrah! Gargantos! America Chavez! The Savage Land?! But one thing the trailer didn’t show us was who might be the puppet master of this terrifying multiversal breakdown of reality, despite Mordo pointing his finger straight at Strange....

What’s that, you say? All five films? Correct. For most people, the title The Fly brings up two iconic images: either David (Al) Hedison with a giant fly’s head on his shoulders or Jeff Goldblum in heavy prosthetics as he mutates into the monstrous amalgam known in the 1986 film as Brundlefly. Casual viewers may not be aware that the original film spawned two sequels, while the remake led to a follow-up of its own....

The Expanse Season 6 Episode 4 It’s official: The Expanse is clearly treating its final season as though the story were continuing, leaving it up to the viewers to decide where everyone will end up. The emotional beats in “Redoubt” were wonderful and would have been right at home in a ten to thirteen episode season with hopes of renewal. It’s difficult to know how to feel about a story that’s delivering spot-on dialogue, flawless character development, and even a bit of action while simultaneously realizing that its audience will have to be satisfied with comeuppance for Marco Inaros and little else as a series resolution....

From the moment he was first introduced, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier has been drawing very clear distinctions between how Wyatt Russell’s John Walker approaches being Captain America compared to Steve Rogers. While he only appeared for a brief moment at the end of the first episode, one detail that immediately stood out was the semi-automatic pistol prominently displayed on his hip. It makes sense, of course, Walker is already a much more seasoned and battle-hardened soldier than Steve Rogers was when he first put on the costume, and without the super soldier serum coursing through his veins, he needs every advantage he can get in combat situations....

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier episode 5, “Truth,” is another somewhat transitional episode for the series. Big action at the beginning, some heartbreaking reveals in the middle, and then plenty of bonding and moving pieces around for the finale for the rest of the episode. Oh yeah, and one absolutely awesome use of The Meters’ “Hey Pocky A-Way.” Anyway, let’s dig into the MCU and Marvel Comics references we’ve found so far....

Actor Brandon McKnight was promoted to a series regular for The Flash Season 7 last year and some fans (read: cough yours truly) may have wondered whether there was space for Chester P. Runk on a series that often struggles to give its existing cast of characters meaningful things to do. After all, Carlos Valdes’ Cisco was absent for the bulk of Season 6, Danielle Panabaker’s Caitlin took a near-permanent backseat to her Frost alter-ego that the series is only just now correcting, and though we all love Jesse L....

“The Grail Knight in The Last Crusade opened the door to all of this for me,” Lowery says during a Zoom chat. “The very first script I ever wrote was when I was about eight, and it was actually a play and it was about Sir Perceval and his Grail quest.” So while Sir Gawain and the Green Knight came later, the idea of telling the story about King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, and especially of a knight experiencing the horrors and wonders of the wilderness outside Camelot, was always there....

Anybody concerned that June’s arrival on Canadian soil would sap all the drama out of The Handmaid’s Tale can stop worrying. ‘Home’ was dark, emotional, and complex. It proved that this series is not backing out of its responsibilities when it comes to the portrayal of trauma, nor is it unwilling to test the heroism of its lead character. To seriously test her heroism. The episode closed on a blistering monologue in which June described Serena Waterford as a pathological, sociopathic, toxic, abusive monster driven by hatred and rage, underneath which is nothing but pure misery....
