Warning: contains spoilers for War of the Worlds. Nobody expects puppies and rainbows from the end of the world. Even if they did, after series one, they’d know that War of the Worlds wouldn’t be the place to go looking. This is feel-bad drama, the kind of show where kids get stabbed in the head, streets are lined

Ask most horror nerds when their love of the genre began and they will tell you it was when they were 13. Or 11. Or 8, or 6 etc. You get the gist. Almost none will say 18. So R.L. Stine’s Fear Street books, written for teens, were influential and beloved by many young people

Warning: contains spoilers for The Office: An American Workplace. On screen, Steve Carell’s departure from The Office was pretty perfect. His farewell episode ‘Goodbye, Michael’ and those running up to it, were emotional and satisfying. They showed branch manager Michael Scott finally getting the love he’d always craved, and crucially, deserving it too. Once a thin-skinned, desperate-for-approval man-child,

This The Tomorrow War article contains major spoilers. The key to a good time travel tale is that it must define its arbitrary rules and then stick to them. The Tomorrow War on Prime Video skillfully keeps it simple. However, there is a moment in the film where viewers might be tempted to shout at

Contains spoilers for Fear Street Part 1: 1994 The first part of Netflix horror trilogy Fear Street has now arrived on the streaming service. It’s an homage to ‘90s slashers based on the Fear Street books by R.L. Stine and it is set in the town of Shadyside, a place riddled with tragedy. Is the

We’re sorry, but the new FX Alien series is not a Ripley story, nor should it be. “In conversation with Vanity Fair, Noah Hawley confirmed his upcoming Alien series at FX is “not a Ripley story”, but one concerning financial inequality on Earth. “It’s not a Ripley story. She’s one of the great characters of

After eight seasons of playing normal human, sometimes vigilante John Diggle on Arrow, David Ramsey is ready to take the next step in his hero’s journey. When we last saw Diggle in the series finale of Arrow, he found a box containing an object that emitted a glowing green light. Despite being the end of

By the power of Grayskull, Netflix’s list of new releases for July 2021 is here! As you may have been able to tell by that clever opening, July is the month that Masters of the Universe: Revelation arrives on Netflix. This animated series from Kevin Smith continues the classic stories of He-Man and his buff

Movies are back. It at least feels that way when you see the numbers that films like F9 and A Quiet Place Part II are earning. But more than just the thrill of going back to theaters, July signals what is typically considered to be the height of the summer movie season. On a hot

This article contains Loki episode 4 spoilers. Loki episode 4 is, well…we’re just gonna say it…the best episode of the series so far, by far. It rivals even the best chapters of WandaVision in its ambition, scope, and general batshittery. And a good chunk of that comes in the final moments, as well as what

With the release of The Forever Purge—the fifth in the eerily prescient dystopian horror series—upon us, Den of Geek had a chance to speak with Jason Blum, the producer and Blumhouse Productions president. In addition to discussing the future of the Purge franchise (more on that later this week), we also had the chance to

Let’s be honest: Black Widow really should have had a movie before now. Natasha Romanoff (Scarlett Johansson) has been in the MCU since Iron Man 2 in 2010, she’s part of the original line up of Avengers, she’s one of the most popular characters in that Universe and is one of the few lead females.

“Put Captain Solo in the cargo hold—of my, uh…starship?” Boba Fett’s signature Slave I ship has apparently lost its name in the official Star Wars canon, as indicated by Disney’s alleged recent request to the LEGO company regarding a new toy rendition of the ship. Intriguingly, with the direction of merchandising—specifically toys—sometimes proving to be

Warning: This War of the Worlds review contains spoilers. Back when we thought the killer robo-dogs were the Invaders, their disregard for human life was easy to understand. They were emotionless machines whose only goal was to methodically clear the planet. Stomp stomp stomp, squelch, stomp stomp stomp, squelch, and so on. Watching them murder

Not everything we enjoy is good for us. A chocolate-filled doughnut, for instance, can be delicious even while it crams our arteries with trans fat. The simple fact of knowing that something is unhealthy doesn’t stop it from being fun, which is to say that it’s still okay to love Jim Henson’s 1986 cult kids’

Could The Simpsons potentially crossover with Marvel? One executive producer says they might travel from Springfield to Wakanda! “Ever since Disney bought 20th Century Fox, The Simpsons has been the smiling face of that monopolistic corporate synergy. The long-running series was a key Disney+ offering at launch — despite some questionable cropping — and we’ve

Halloween Kills has freed itself from the burning basement of pandemic delays to tease the further rebooted rampages of masked maniac Michael Myers. While the sequel’s war waged against the killer by Jamie Lee Curtis’s Laurie Strode—joined by her daughter and granddaughter—is its driving force, the trailer notably showcases masks grotesquely familiar to those who

The biographical crime feature Lansky attempts to pull off a major heist: the historical legacy of the mob mastermind Meyer Lansky. One of the most notorious and infamous of the Jewish gangsters who rose during prohibition, Lansky was a businessman with a head for numbers. He was called “the Mob’s accountant,” and the film wants

For Your Eyes Only, which celebrates its 40th anniversary this week, was a transitional James Bond film. Released in 1981, this 12th entry in the long-running series, and Roger Moore’s fifth outing as the man in the tuxedo, was deliberately styled as a return to the 007’s roots after he went to space in the

Microsoft’s official Windows 11 showcase wasn’t exactly the most exciting live stream event of the season, but at least it finally confirmed the core features we can look forward to in the upcoming (and for most users, free) Windows update. While you can pretty much bet on early versions of a Windows update being at

“My reputation has a habit of preceding me,” Harvey Keitel’s Meyer Lansky explains toward the beginning of Lansky. “When they don’t know you, they put labels on you.”  Writer-director Eytan Rockaway’s biographical crime feature is a no-frills, selective retelling of a notorious figure, which works because it puts a recognizable face to that label. Nicknamed

This Motherland: Fort Salem story contains spoilers. The Motherland: Fort Salem storyline picks up where it left off at the conclusion of its season one finale “Witchbomb” as Abigail Bellweather and Raelle Collar struggle to rejoin the remainder of their unit, and Tally Craven suddenly finds herself one of General Alder’s biddies after saving the

The verdict on the recently released Dungeons and Dragons: Dark Alliance is still being decided as fans and critics finally get their hands on the highly-anticipated Action-RPG, but you’re not alone if the mere thought of the game has you dreaming of a Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers remaster. Released in October 2002

The musical of the summer was supposed to be a life-affirming celebration of one of New York’s most vibrant neighborhoods, full of color, romance, and big group dance numbers. Instead for many viewers, the musical of the moment was filmed and performed by one man, alone in isolation from the comfort (or discomfort, really) of

This article contains spoilers for Rick and Morty season 5 episode 1. After its season 5 premiere, Rick and Morty is now 11 episodes into its impressive 70-episode order at Adult Swim. Even back in 2018, when the deal was announced and the show was at its creative apex, 70 episodes sure seemed like an

The title card for the new AMC series Kevin Can F**K Himself isn’t accompanied by a jaunty tune or a wild sound effect. When the title appears on the screen, it’s soundtracked by a smattering of aggressive laughter. Creeping up below the laughter is a distressing screeching noise, meant to indicate the rapidly fraying sanity

This Star Wars: The Bad Batch article contains spoilers. Rumors of a big cameo surrounded The Bad Batch in the days leading up to its eighth episode and “Reunion” doesn’t disappoint.

It’s always a great time to be a BTS fan, but ARMY has been particularly blessed this month. Not only did the Korean band celebrate BTS Festa—a two-week celebration of their 8th anniversary that culminated in a virtual concert event (legally) watched by more than 1.3 million people—the band just announced an ongoing collaboration with

This post contains spoilers of an existential nature. “Do you think God stays in heaven because he too lives in fear of what he’s created?” Steve Buscemi’s Dr. Romero asks in the 2002 modern cinematic masterpiece, Spy Kids 2: Island of Lost Dreams. It’s a valid question. One that I’ve been asking myself a lot
