What gives? Well, it’s no secret that things are a little hazy in terms of when we might actually get another Star Wars film. With Patty Jenkins’ Rogue Squadron film pushed out of its original Dec. 2023 release date (reportedly due to creative differences with the script), the movie Taika Waititi is developing with Krysty Wilson-Cairns will now be the next Star Wars picture we watch on the big screen....
Hasbro has revealed an intriguing quartet for its 6” scaled Star Wars: The Black Series line: Jaxxon, Darth Maul (Sith Apprentice), Carnor Jax, and Luke Skywalker (Heir to the Empire)—each character—or character iteration—hails from the Legends lore that Disney unceremoniously scrapped. Indeed, the fact that an action figure is finally (after decades of niche fan demand) being made for Jaxxon, the space-traveling bunny smuggled from Marvel’s Star Wars comics of the late-1970s/early-1980s, is indicative of a reemergence of the Legends lore....
“I know you’re in there, Eclipso.” With these words burgeoning supervillain Cindy Burman has introduced a whole new world and threat to Stargirl. After killing her father and attempting to defeat Courtney and co. it’s clear that the Dragon King’s daughter is keen on getting revenge, which is lucky as she’s just invoked the name of a deep cut character who could be a way of introducing an entirely new supernatural layer to the series....
There’s an overwhelming amount of new movies and TV shows hitting streaming services this fall. If you’re starving for new content, it’s set to be a fantastic time, but if your wallet is starving for funds, it can be pretty stressful. With studios and content providers spreading their libraries out across so many different streaming services, keeping up with all of your favorites can get expensive. Thankfully, Plex TV is here to keep you entertained without breaking the bank....
At the time of his passing, Conroy’s most recent voice acting credit for his most famous character, Batman, was for the Super Smash Bros.-like fighting game, MultiVersus. However, ever since Batman Arkham developers Rocksteady Studios announced Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, fans wondered if Conroy would reprise his “Arkhamverse” version of Batman for the game. Given the timeframe, if he was in the game, it would seemingly serve as his final Batman portrayal....
Fathom Events’ latest big screen retro release will celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Renaissance reptiles’ iconic live-action feature, with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set for a limited return run at select theaters on Thursday, November 5 and Saturday, November 7. Granted, said celebration will be a belated one, seeing as the film debuted on March 30, 1990, but it will nevertheless serve as a wantonly retro moment for a certain generation that can recall the original film’s release as a seminal moment in childhood and for pop culture in general....
The 100 Season 5 Episode 3 Sleeping Giants is a good ol’ fashioned episode of The 100, complete with all the ingredients that make it great. There’s some space stuff, great fights, and serious moral quandaries balanced out by humor, and it all hinges on the rich relationships that make up the fabric of the show. Clarke is not messing around. She took a page out of the Grounders’ book from way back in season 1 when they used Jasper as bait, this time tying up one of the prisoners from the transport ship....
Just weeks before it arrived on Netflix, YA fantasy adaptation Half Bad was given a new name. The eight-part take on Sally Green’s popular book series about 17-year-old Nathan’s struggle to emerge from the shadow of his notoriously evil father, dropped the original book title in favour of a bulkier option. The change to The Bastard Son & The Devil Himself “was a Netflix thing quite late in the day,” writer Joe Barton (The Lazarus Project, Giri/Haji) tells Den of Geek....
There are gifts to buy, family to see, and cars to dig out of the snow. Thankfully, the holiday cheer makes up for a lot of it. And when holiday cheer can’t get you all the way there, there are Christmas movies to make up the rest. Netflix has the deepest roster of Christmas movies of all the major streaming options. So we’ve compiled a list of the best Christmas movies available on Netflix....
By this point, it’s hardly worth saying that The Boys is shocking. The show has built its reputation by taking superheroes to their ghastly extreme, filling the screen with exploding heads and super-powered Nazis. That’s also certainly true of season three, which began with a shape-changing Supe blowing up his lover from the inside and took us through to Herogasm, which turned out to be just as depraved as promised....
The two leads in Scottish BBC One Thriller The Control Room share “an unbreakable bond” says star Iain de Caestecker, who plays emergency call handler Gabriel. The early loss of the characters’ mothers forged an unspoken connection between them that survived into the present day. Gabe lost his mum from cancer as a child, while Joanna Vanderham’s Sam was abandoned by hers at a similar age. The two children were then separated for decades but “when Sam comes back into Gabe’s world, it’s like electricity shot through him,” de Caestecker tells Den of Geek....
We still don’t know how much of an antagonist John Walker – the new Captain America – will be on The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. So far, Wyatt Russell’s Walker seems like a guy trying to do the right thing, and a decent enough fella, although his final interaction with Sam and Bucky at the end of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier episode 2 hints at a darker side....
The Flash Season 3, Episode 21 Regular review Mike Cecchini is out on a nerd secret mission, so I am filling in this week! He’ll be back next week with all of his The Flash comic book knowledge in hand. To the recap… How much you enjoyed tonight’s episode of The Flash was probably dependent on how frustrated you were that, after last week’s big Savitar reveal, it was mostly a filler ep....
Ever since the first reports of Keaton’s Gotham comeback dropped last June, fans have formed theories about what the actor’s return to the cape and cowl might entail as well as which Batman he’s playing. The answer might seem obvious but in a DC multiverse full of infinite earths and infinite versions of Batman, there’s always the possibility that Keaton could be playing an alternate version of the Bruce Wayne he first portrayed in the 1989 Tim Burton blockbuster....
Unsurprisingly, God of War: Ragnarok and Elden Ring lead the nominations, and are both favorites to win Game of the Year. The former, with 10 nominations, is a critically-acclaimed sequel to what is Santa Monica Studio’s action-adventure masterpiece, which also happened to win GOTY in 2018. The other is the latest Soulsborne title from FromSoftware, who most recently won GOTY in 2019 with Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. Both have massive studios and names attached, with Game of Thrones creator George R....
The Gilded Age Episode 6 This week’s The Gilded Age centers on betrayal or perceived backstabbing for multiple characters. In the war between the old guard and the nouveau riche, some employees and family members are realizing they can profit from undermining the side they’re supposed to be on. Others are noticing that their “side” isn’t advancing their own personal agenda. Let’s break down who’s switching sides and who is staying put....
“It means she’s ready.” That’s what Nick told June when she asked the significance of the color her daughter was wearing at Commander Waterford’s funeral. In a sly masterstroke, Serena had arranged for Hannah to present her with flowers at Fred’s globally broadcast Gilead ceremony. Viewers around the world saw the grieving Serena accept the tribute from a lovely young girl and then take her by the hand. How touching....
At the time of writing, the internet at large is still arguing about whether Harry Styles spit on Chris Pine at the premiere of the pair’s beleaguered new thriller, Don’t Worry Darling. It’s only the latest juicy (but in this instance probably not that delicious) slice of drama from the film’s production and subsequent review-panning debut, which has included the kind of intriguing nonsense that expensive PR bods spend considerable time micromanaging on big budget projects so it never sees the light of day, but because Don’t Worry Darling has a much, much lower budget than, say, last year’s Eternals, which also (briefly) starred Styles, the wheels have basically completely come off now, with a new tidbit emerging from the cast and crew on average every few hours....
For those who don’t know, the inciting incident that triggers the effective end of the world in The Last of Us game is the rapid spread of a mutated strain of the Cordyceps fungus. Because the fungus directly attacks the brain within just a couple of days of infecting a host, it effectively turns them into a rage-filled monster. The longer the host is infected, the more of a monster they become both physically and mentally....
Maybe it’s because the Zelda timeline can sometimes be a confusing mess, but the stories in Zelda games are rarely talked about and appreciated the way that we talk about and appreciate the best narratives in other fantasy adventures. Yet, if you take the time to play through this series and really focus on their narratives, you’ll find that the best Zelda titles often offer thrilling tales that challenge you with their complex continuity while wrapping you up in a grand adventure that feels strangely comforting no matter which wild directions this series goes in....
