Gangs of London Series 2 in the UK Although it was originally announced as a boxset release, so far only the first two episodes of Gangs of London series 2 are available on Sky Atlantic and NOW. According to the NOW website, new episodes will be available to stream every Thursday, starting with episode three on Thursday 27th October. The US release of Gangs of London Season 2 US fans will be able to watch the series when it premieres on AMC on Thursday November 17th – like the UK, American fans will get a double-dose of Gangs of London episodes to start with, followed by a weekly release of the rest of the season....

This included one of the two godfathers of the James Bond franchise and Eon Productions, Albert “Cubby” Broccoli. Along with his partner Harry Saltzman, Broccoli saw the long-term viability of the James Bond character as a genre unto himself. Broccoli also wasn’t a delusional producer who just wanted to cast one of the biggest stars of his heyday as 007—he was also intimately close to Grant. So much so that in 1959, two years before Broccoli went into the James Bond business, Grant acted as best man at Broccoli’s wedding....

For example, EA traditionally celebrates its Top 100 rated players in the upcoming installment by releasing the ratings of 20 players at a time, starting at #100 and working its way down. However, this year the publisher has decided to announce the Top 1,000 players all at once to give fans from all over the globe a glimpse of how their favorite players will fare in the newest installment of the soccer series....

That’s a lot of folks tuning in for a series that had the unenviable task of creating an ending most audiences would enjoy after spending nine years speculating on it—or decades in the case of George R.R. Martin’s most loyal readers. Nonetheless, according to a THR/Morning Consult poll, 58 percent of audiences were at least somewhat satisfied by the Game of Thrones finale. If you looked online though, you’d never know it....

Lucifer has been to Hell and back. Quite literally. Based on the DC character introduced in the Sandman comic books, the TV series follows the devilish Lucifer Morningstar (Tom Ellis), who abandons his own fiery realm to open a nightclub in Los Angeles. But, as he began to consult for the LAPD, Lucifer slowly developed feelings towards Detective Chloe Decker (Lauren German) and along the way, inadvertently discovered he was far more human than he ever expected....

Three years after unveiling its now nearly-completed Phase Four lineup at the last pre-COVID San Diego Comic-Con, the Disney-owned company returned to Hall H at the first in-person SDCC since 2019 to not just roll out the slate for Phase Five, but to also give frenzied fans a tantalizing glimpse of Phase Six – with all of it now coming out under the name “The Multiverse Saga.” In doing so, Marvel not only won Comic-Con as it has done nearly every year that Kevin Feige and friends have taken the Hall H stage, but it almost obliterated whatever attention just about every other major property that showed up at the con received – including the beleaguered DC universe at Warner Bros....

“There was buzz about the Cuphead video game,” Wasson recalls about the early days, before he was even involved in The Cuphead Show. “Even within the animation community… because it was all based on a 1930s, rubber hose style of animation.” Originally developed by the Moldenhauer brothers, known as Studio MDHR, Cuphead first launched in 2017, before achieving success on consoles. Classic run-and-gunners had existed for decades before, but as Wasson notes, what made Cuphead stand out was its impressive mimicking of 1930s animated serials....

I don’t think the world is without hope, joy, community, or love—far from it—but I do think nihilism, violence, social isolation, and the abuse of power tend to be the realities of our modern world that are most often reflected back at us through popular culture. read more: Best New Non-Western Fantasy Epics Grimdark storytelling is way overrepresented in our pop culture to the exclusion and deprioritization of other, kinder aspects of contemporary life....

“The Chase” aired on April 26, 1993, and as such, exists in the interesting time when TNG and DS9 were airing new episodes simultaneously. DS9 had already expanded the canon of Trek by permanently parking itself in the histories of both the Bajorians and the Cardassians, but in doing so, DS9 had also brought another Star Trek plot element back into vogue in a big way: The ancient space mystery!...

So it isn’t an exaggeration to say that film and television composer Kevin Kiner had some very big shoes to fill when he was tapped to create the score for The Clone Wars, an animated film that marked the start of a new era for the franchise in 2008, just three years after the release of the final prequel film. Not only was this film a pilot for an even more beloved animated series that in turn paved the way for the era of Star Wars TV we’re enjoying today, but it was the first not scored by Williams himself....

We found a few key easter eggs and references that show how The Flash has recreated the Gothic world Tim Burton first envisioned for the 1989 blockbuster hit. And there are also hints as to how the DCEU will bring Keaton’s story forward and connect it to Barry’s own adventure. But first, check out the teaser if you haven’t already: Okay, here are a few key Bat-moments… We can deduce that the Barrys have come to Bruce for help after making a mess of the DC timeline/multiverse, but a voiceover line delivered by Keaton just like it’s ’89 makes it sound like he’s reluctant to help — or has lost the will to fight....

Pam and Tommy is set to premiere on Feb. 2. Perhaps the Groundhog Day release date is intentional as the show will cover a particular moment of celebrity, sex, and exploitation from the early ’90s that seems to have repeated itself over and over. Sebastian Stan and Lily James star as Tommy Lee and Pamela Anderson and the series follows the events and fallout of their homemade sex tape being stolen and unleashed on a nascent internet....

Contained within the season’s roughly two-dozen sketches was absolutely hilarious and essential comedy that provided ample memetic kindling for the internet’s conversational fire. For the focused enough mind, it’s entirely possible to communicate with one’s friends exclusively in I Think You Should Leave memes. Lord knows, I’ve tried it. Thankfully, ITYSL season 2 has finally arrived on Netflix after its COVID-19 delay. It features 28 sketches that range from “pretty funny” to “I can’t stop laughing....

In the Impractical Jokers season 9 premiere, however, two jokers will be tasked with something truly unthinkable and unforgivable. Murr and Sal have to mix up the details of Star Wars and Star Trek. Check out the harrowing footage, exclusively provided to Den of Geek, below. For anyone who is wondering how the Tenderloins a.k.a. the Impractical Jokers can still go unnoticed in public, this clip is Exhibit A as to how not everyone has a cable subscription....

Fortunately, it was not to be. Not only does Indy snatch the hat away from Mutt’s greaser hands, but the tepid response to Kingdom of the Crystal Skull assured that the Indiana Jones franchise would come to an end, at least for a while. But with Indy set to return for one last ride (again), many wonder/fear that Henry Jones Jr. would be bringing his fail-son with him. For those people, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny director James Mangold has good news and bad news....

The Suicide Squad is just about wall-to-wall action. Yes, there are the occasional (relatively) quiet moments, but for the most part, this is a movie that has a lot of conflicts to resolve, whether with bullets, superpowers, or in the case of the pivotal fight scene in the movie, good ol’ fashioned muscles and fists. When John Cena’s Peacemaker and Joel Kinnaman’s Rick Flag throw down at the end of the movie, it makes for one of the most brutal fight scenes in superhero movie history, a no-holds-barred, bone crunching affair that only one antihero can walk away from in the end....

We don’t need to tell you it’s been a hell of a year. But at Den of Geek we are absolutely determined to make 2021 a much better ride. So as well as all the usual up to the minute news, reviews, commentary, and insight on the site, we’ve decided to launch a brand new quarterly magazine, which we’ll be sending to our readers for free. The Den of Geek quarterly magazine will be packed with exclusive features, interviews, previews, and deep dives into geek culture....

Simply put, Gotham Knights is not officially part of the Arkham game series. For that matter, it doesn’t even take place in the same universe as the Arkham games. It’s a standalone adventure that takes place in the greater Batman universe (just like the Arkham games did), but it tells a new story complete with new characters and new takes on old characters. If you’re coming into Gotham Knights expecting a follow-up to the Arkham games, you’re probably going to have a bad time....

Gremlins is great and Elf is ace. Bad Santa is bitchin’ and The Muppets Christmas Carol is sensational, inspirational, celebrational, and Muppetational. Die Hard is dead good, Miracle On 34th Street is magic, and It’s A Wonderful Life is truly, erm, wonderful. None of them, though, can confidently state that they are the Best Christmas Movie of All Time. Only one film can claim that title, and that film is Home Alone, which is undoubtedly and without question the Best Christmas Movie of All Time....

It’s a fascinating legacy for a device that once seemed destined to become Nintendo’s worst-selling home console ever (before the Wii U justifiably stole that title). We’ve talked about this more extensively in the past, but the Nintendo GameCube was something of a low point for Nintendo in a lot of ways. They were last in sales, managed to alienate quite a few developers and gamers, and generally seemed to be unsure of who they were and what their future in the video game industry looked like....
