WIth an overabundance of teenage-oriented romance shows on television at the moment, it can be hard to conjure up a reason to watch yet another one. Every streaming service seems to have something in the genre to fit a need, whether that be a gay protagonist, a female hero, or an ensemble cast. It’s very difficult to stand out amongst the crowd because there are very few places left untapped in exploring adolescent life styles....

Or at least that’s what Marvel fans think. Loki, the next MCU Disney+ effort, isn’t set to premiere for another week, but many online observers can’t help but entertain the possibilities that the show’s time traveling plot represents. In the comics, there are many iterations of the God of Mischief, from the traditional adult Asgardian version to Kid Loki, Lady Loki, and more. Since the MCU’s version of the character (played by Tom Hiddleston) is now in the clutches of the Time Variance Authority, what’s stopping him from meeting other versions of himself?...

Whether this news counts as a great disturbance or a new hope for Star Wars fans is a matter of debate. No one doubts Lindelof’s commitment to science fiction, but the response to his work has been decidedly mixed. Along with co-showrunner Carlton Cuse, Lindelof made Lost a genuine cultural phenomenon. But that show’s finale remains divisive among viewers. Lindelof’s Hollywood script work is even more checkered, as he contributed to the screenplays of controversial movies Prometheus, Star Trek Into Darkness, and The Hunt....

Willam Shatner’s The UnXlplained and Ancient Aliens are combining forces to figure out the mysteries of the universe. Typically, Friday nights on the History Channel include Ancient Aliens, then an episode of The UnXplained. This Friday, however, History will join the shows together in a two-hour special. Shatner is joining Giorgio Tsoukalos and the Ancient Aliens crew for a special called “William Shatner Meets Ancient Aliens.” Den of Geek was able to catch up with Shatner and get some insight into what to expect on Friday’s crossover event and his thoughts on UFOs and extraterrestrial life....

Wynonna Earp Season 2, Episode 12 It’s hard to pull off a great TV season finale. You have to answer enough questions to bring closure to the season’s arcs, while also leaving the viewer with mysteries and lingering threads that leave them hungry for more. Hoo boy did Wynonna Earp do that with “I Hope You Dance.” Baby Earp was born! Waverly isn’t a revenant! Jeremy has some kind of super secret power!...

The good news for X-Files diehards is that any franchise worth, well, anything in Hollywood these days never dies. Carter embodies this wholeheartedly and has been quietly working on the next iteration of The X-Files, which is an animated spinoff series script recently ordered by Fox. The series, titled The X-Files: Albuquerque, centers on “an office of misfit agents who investigate cases too wacky, ridiculous or dopey for Scully and Mulder,” according to THR....

The film, which just had its world premiere at the SXSW Film Festival, certainly dabbles in exploitation, happily indulging every lusty 16mm frame we see of the movie within the movie, but to write it off as merely those baser elements would miss the more intriguing ideas in its first two (superior) acts. Essentially posited on the conceit of “Debbie Does Dallas… and then has an existential crisis about her own mortality,” X is an intentionally jarring experiment that mashes up tones and styles....

Williamson, who would go on after Scream to solidify his legacy with the sharply written teen drama series, Dawson’s Creek, drew his influences from fact and fiction. His first draft was inspired by the chilling story of the real-life Gainesville Ripper, but the finished product also paid homage to movies like Halloween, When A Stranger Calls, and Prom Night. Craven was the perfect director too, having tested the waters of meta horror with Wes Craven’s New Nightmare two years earlier....

No, that wasn’t really a thing (at least not in any shipped games), but even if the Genesis wasn’t the most powerful console on the market, developers were still able to use the hardware to create some truly beautiful titles. Once you learn to view Sega Genesis games on their own merits and stop comparing them to titles running on vastly different hardware, it becomes much easier to appreciate just how impressive they really are....

While this is a list that mostly includes bosses from horror games, that alone wasn’t a prerequisite for inclusion. There are some otherwise wholesome games that include surprisingly disturbing boss fights. We’re also using a fairly loose definition of boss fight here, as some of the most terrifying sequences are more about running away than actually defeating an enemy. With that in mind, these are the 15 scariest video game boss fights ever....

Yet, this is so much more than a list of games that let us celebrate little studios and individual developers. At a time when Covid-19 production delays threaten to push so many major games into 2022 and beyond, these 15 titles (and so many more) could end up working their way into upcoming game of the year conversations just as they remind us that new ideas aren’t dead: they’ve just gone indie....

In fact, many features we now take for granted in portables like the Switch can be traced back to the GBA. The addition of shoulder buttons, full 32-bit color graphics, and eventually even built-in backlighting with the 2003 release of the Game Boy Advance SP were all lauded as welcome innovations and improvements. Sadly, the GBA’s time in the sun was remarkably short. Pressured by the upcoming release of the Sony PSP, Nintendo released the GBA’s successor, the Nintendo DS, less than four years after the launch of the GBA....

Up against the wall, you punk bastards! Time for your mug shots. Boardwalk Empire is basically the story of a twenties gang called The Combined or Big Seven Group. All the biggies on the east coast were part of it and it was multicultural, as crime is. Seven different gangs: Sicilian, Italian, Jewish, and Irish came together to bring people booze during Prohibition. Also, a little bit of smack or something in the sack, they were a very diverse lot....

Today, the genre lives on and continues to evolve. From interactive horror movies like Until Dawn to first-person experiences beyond comprehension like P.T., the survival horror genre continues to prove why it’s one of the mainstays of the industry and why it will always rise from the grave for one last scare. Den of Geek has taken a look back at the long history of the horror genre and chosen 20 titles we think stand as the scariest games ever made:...

The best games manage it with slowly building atmosphere, imposing enemies, and terrible consequences surrounding your every move. Many great examples of classic horror games come to mind: Silent Hill, Dead Space, Resident Evil, Amnesia: The Dark Descent, Outlast, and many more. But the titles on this list aren’t exactly great examples of scary games, memorable as they may be. If you’re looking for some true campy goodness this Halloween, though, we’ve got you covered....

As honeymoon destinations go, Elizabethan London isn’t quite the Maldives (fewer coconuts, roughly the same amount of leeches) but for historian Dr Diana Bishop, it may as well be. To a history nut like her, the prospect of experiencing life in the 16th century must have been quite something. To meet Sir Walter Raleigh, see St Paul’s before Christopher Wren got his hands on it, wear gowns so voluminous that a small family and several pets could be comfortably housed beneath her skirts… she’d be living the dream....

‘How high are the ceilings? Are the windows large or small? What does the air smell of? Is it cold? Is everything always slightly damp? Is there enough food on the table? Is there a fly buzzing somewhere? What can you see out of the window? Can you hear traffic? Can you hear your next-door neighbours? Is there a dog that barks incessantly?’ Without that detail, Phelps tells Den of Geek, she’d just be putting dialogue into a vacuum....

Much of Alita: Battle Angel focuses on Alita (Rosa Salazar) coming to terms with and understanding her very existence. In a junkyard, cyborg scientist Dyson Ido (Christoph Waltz) finds the husk of Alita’s cyborg body and brings her back to life. Ido becomes a surrogate father figure for Alita and as she lives her life, she falls in love with a boy named Hugo (Keean Johnson), slowly recalls memories of her past, and further gains humanity....

American Horror Story Season 10 Episode 6 One thing you can say about American Horror Story is that they don’t shy away from making world-shattering events part of the show. Maybe it’s the announcement that witches are real. Maybe it’s the end of the world. Maybe it’s an apocalyptic cult. Or maybe it’s just the complete and total destruction of a major industry (and a major American city) because of one person getting a little too greedy....

“It’s a song so catchy people probably don’t listen to the lyrics,” Patrick says with a shimmy before turning red. “But they should, because it’s not just about the pleasures of conformity and the importance of friends, it’s also a personal statement about the band itself!” It’s also a personal statement about Patrick Bateman himself. No one but Patrick understands the full pleasures of conformity, and if you cross that line or dilute that pleasure, you might as well have a blade shatter your forehead....
