If you ever glanced at Marvel fans on Twitter, you might’ve noticed many love the idea of real-life power couple John Krasinski and Emily Blunt starring in Marvel’s upcoming Fantastic Four reboot. And while fans can always have their dream castings, it doesn’t mean Marvel Studios or Disney have made any overtures—or that they’ll necessarily

When reports first surfaced back in early-2018 that Amazon’s untitled The Lord of the Rings television series bore a budget upwards of $1 billion, the entertainment industry and its fans did a collective double-take. Remember, this was two whole years before pandemic-era logistics—and heavy-hitting newcomers like Disney+ and HBO Max—elevated the status of streaming platforms

The invention improves on traditional testing in hospital laboratories and clinics, which typically takes up to a week to deliver results–time during

This The Handmaid’s Tale review contains spoilers. That ending was earned. Under ordinary circumstances, the un-ironic use of Coldplay’s ‘Fix You’ over a slo-mo reunion scene would result in disciplinary action from the mawkishness police, but The Handmaid’s Tale gets away with it. This drama has been feel-bad for so long, it’s saved up enough feel-good pennies to splurge

This article contains Tenet spoilers. The Protagonist might be one of the most unimaginatively named main characters of all time, but it’s worth pointing out that he is referred to as “the Protagonist,” which is notably different from being called “the Hero.” Of course it’s not hard to argue he’s a good guy who does

This SUPERGIRL article contains spoilers for Season 6, Episode 7, “Fear Knot.” Supergirl Season 6 Episode 7 Supergirl’s mid-season finale goes for a high concept, Star Trek-feel, but the execution left a lot to be desired. Instead of being emotional, revelatory, or action-packed, the mid-season finale feels like a filler episode. While it technically manages to check

The following contains The Flash spoilers. Though The Flash Season 7 episode “Timeless” is a largely forgettable mishmash of bad time travel logic and mixed messages about whether the “Forces” that have dominated this season to date are powerful god beings or sadly manipulated humans in need of quasi-parental love from Barry and Iris, it
