This Star Wars: The Mandalorian article contains spoilers. No character captured the spotlight in last week’s episode of The Mandalorian quite like Admiral Jeff Blue-Jeans, who literally stole the scene when an eagle-eyed viewer caught him in the background of an action sequence in “The Siege.” If you missed it the first time around, the
This DUCKTALES review contains spoilers. Family is a core part of DuckTales. It always has been and always will be. That subject can go a lot of different ways. Some people adore their family, some people hate them. DuckTales has given us several different views of different families but generally it skews to family being a good
Zappa is an intimate look into the innovative life and eclectic works of Frank Zappa, the composer. The Beatles, Brian Wilson, and Syd Barrett’s Pink Floyd pushed boundaries of what rock could do in the mid-1960s, but Zappa ignored any preconceived compositional restraint. He mixed rock with classical, jazz with chamber, and twelve-tone with Spike
VIRTUAL MEETING (CST), November 22, 2020 –They burst out of toilet bubbles, swim across drinking water, spread through coughs. Tiny infectious microbes–from the virus that causes COVID-19 to waterborne bacteria–kill millions of people around the world each year. Now engineers are studying how zinc oxide surfaces and natural hydrodynamic churning have the power to kill

It’s almost a certainty that you’ve never seen a Christmas movie like Fatman. You know how they wanted to make all superhero films in that “gritty, realistic” style that Christopher Nolan turned into billions of dollars with the Dark Knight trilogy? In Fatman, writers/directors Ian and Eshom Nelms (Small Town Crime) take the greatest superhero
With the Shadowlands expansion, the World of Warcraft team hopes to make the legendary MMO more accessible than it’s ever been before. While I think they’ve done a pretty good job of breaking down some of the game’s more intimidating barriers, that doesn’t mean that Shadowlands offers the perfect new player experience. In fact, it’s
From The Assistant to Ride Your Wave, check out the most underrated movies of 2020 so far. “Every year there are movies everyone hears about. Those are your Marvel films and your Oscar players.

This The Walking Dead: World Beyond review contains spoilers. The Walking Dead: World Beyond Episode 8 The implications of Silas killing his father have followed the character around during his journey on The Walking Dead: World Beyond. Throughout his arc in the first season, that hint of violence, potential or actualized, has been the thing
This FARGO review contains spoilers. Fargo Season 4 Episode 10 Fargo did itself a disservice with last week’s episode. By successfully presenting a small-scale, mostly self-contained story, it’s made this season’s sprawl and lack of focus more obvious. “Happy” is the penultimate episode of the season which means the season’s many threads need to start
This The Simpsons review contains spoilers. The Simpsons Season 32 Episode 7 The Simpsons season 32, episode 7 carves the turkey a little thin for a pre-Thanksgiving offering. “Three Dreams Denied” has all the makings of a full and funny meal for the whole family. But a half hour later, you wish there was more
This article contains New Mutants spoilers. Ah, the sorry tale of the New Mutants movie. Completed just as Disney absorbed 20th Century Fox, Josh Boone’s horror-tinged YA X-Men flick never got its promised reshoots, was shelved, had its release date kicked around the calendar – first by an indifferent studio and then by the pandemic
The recent announcement that the three-decades-awaited film follow-up, Coming 2 America, will bypass its theatrical release plans to stream on Amazon Prime Video may not have been surprising in a 2020 world, but it was indicative of an intriguing trend for the comedy genre that predates the pandemic. The Paramount-hailing, Eddie Murphy-starring sequel’s December 18
I’d like to think that it’s widely accepted that 1990s animation was very good to comic book superheroes. We had a genre-changing Batman: The Animated Series, the deep and socially relevant X-Men: The Animated Series, and two expanded cartoon universes that came out of each one. But there was one superhero cartoon, neither DC or
This year marks a unique Thanksgiving, to be sure. With the pandemic carrying on, families and loved ones across the United States are testing out new ways to celebrate a national holiday that might be best described as food, football, and then, of course, more food. For some that means outdoor gatherings are the order
This Star Wars: The Mandalorian article contains spoilers. The Mandalorian‘s latest episode, “The Siege,” is a mostly entertaining action romp through Nevarro that gives fans more clues as to what the Empire is planning for the Outer Rim. The episode is also an opportunity for Mando and Baby Yoda to reunite with season one allies
This POWER RANGERS BEAST MORPHERS review contains spoilers. While last week’s Power Rangers Beast Morphers didn’t have a noteworthy plot it did have a ton of life thanks to a musical sequence we still can’t get over. It was big, fun, and showed off a ton of energy that much of the show has been lacking. Unfortunately
The Cyberpunk 2077 soundtrack is, much like the game itself, poised to be one of the best of the year. While composers Marcin Przybyłowicz, P. T. Adamczyk, Paul Leonard-Morgan are looking to surpass The Witcher 3‘s incredible original score, the real story of Cyberpunk 2077‘s soundtrack may be the game’s GTA-like radio stations and their
Well ain’t that some sh*t? Marvel Studios has put Ryan Reynolds‘ Deadpool 3 into pre-production, with the Merc with a Mouth continuing his filthy ways at the Mouse House.
