Spider-Man: No Way Home‘s big cameos may be fresh in the mind, and worth over $1 billion at the box office, but some would argue the return of Alfred Molina and Willem Dafoe still isn’t as surprising as Michael Keaton’s DC comeback. The legendary actor who first brought the Dark Knight to the big screen

You may have heard it by now but Yellowstone is a big deal. We’re not talking about the American national park (though that is also a big deal) but rather the Paramount Network series. This Kevin Costner-starring modern Western was a surprise hit from the beginning but reached new ratings heights in its most recent

Whatever it takes, Degrassi always makes it through. It’s been announced that a new version of the beloved teen drama is headed to streamer HBO Max in 2023.

One would think the biggest shadow Star Trek: Lower Decks would have to escape is Star Trek itself. An animated comedy set in the Trek universe already has a lot of baggage, not least of which shifting the franchise from drama to adult comedy. It certainly does deal with that but even more so it

Sidney Poitier, who died at age 94 last week, was a leading man in many ways: teaching the teacher in The Blackboard Jungle, learning from students in To Sir, With Love, and schooling the public on historic achievement with each part he took, from the slender threads to the defiant ones. One of Poitier’s greatest

This Dexter: New Blood review contains spoilers. Not many shows get a second chance at a finale. But then again, not many shows’ first finales are as bad as Dexter’s was. After the original Dexter series finale back in 2013 was received, let’s say, less than warmly, Showtime decided to try it again. Following a

If you haven’t already checked out Arcane on Netflix, you really need to put it high on your to do list.

Nevertheless, after COVID and a painfully quiet Oscars where the Best

Power Rangers is a legacy, joining a very small list of shows that run for such a long period of time, over 28 years! Throughout that time, the series has had its ups, its downs, and its mehs. I’ve been watching since the ripe age of 2 and have always loved the series, even in some

This review of The Expanse contains spoilers.

Roughly 10 minutes into HBO Max’s Harry Potter reunion special, Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts, Ron Weasley actor Rupert Grint comments on the surreality of it all.  “It doesn’t feel like much time has passed.
