The Suicide Squad is a project that partially thrives on highlighting lesser-known characters and casting non-traditional blockbuster actors to bring them to life.

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

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 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 Inside No. 9 review contains spoilers.  There’s old school comedy of the ‘Frank Spencer roller-skating under a lorry’ kind, and then there’s old school comedy of the ‘clowns, dukes, ruffs and rhyming couplets’ variety. The Inside No. 9 series six opener draws on the latter, improbably combining 16th century commedia dell’arte with a modern-day jewel heist. It’s proof, if

The just-released debut trailer for sequel Venom: Let There Be Carnage will obviously leave fans fawning over the intense unveiling of Marvel Comics’ serial killer crimson symbiote himself, Carnage.

The PlayStation is fondly remembered for its classic collection of revolutionary games, advancements in 3D technology, and CD player functionality that let you easily play the Men in Black soundtrack whenever you wanted. As you’ve probably guessed from the title of this article, though, it’s also the home of some of the hardest games of

Towards the end of Resident Evil Village‘s story, the game starts throwing out the terms “Megamycete,” “Mold,” and “Cadou Parasite” like they’re all things you should be intimately familiar with by that point. The problem is that unless you’ve been paying very close attention to the game’s hidden files, dialog, and environmental clues, there’s a

This Manifest review contains spoilers. Manifest Season 3 Episodes 7 and 8 “Destination Unknown” is an apt title for the latest episode of Manifest because where in the hell are we headed with all this? As nice as it is to have major developments in the investigation into the callings and their origin and purpose,

If audiences are expecting Wrath of Man, the fourth collaboration between director Guy Ritchie and star Jason Statham, to have the rollicking, quirky vibe of previous Ritchie/Statham action joints, they should temper expectations right now. While Statham has always been adept with a one-liner, and Ritchie is more than willing to provide him a memorable

Audio elements and sound design, especially the score, are as fundamental to animation as the visuals. The proper use of music at the right time can make the action soar and it’s genuinely exciting that more experimental and passionate creators are embracing the sonic possibilities that television allows.

The Bad Batch is the newest animated chapter in the Star Wars saga. Set immediately after Revenge of the Sith, the show explores the rise of the Empire from the perspective of a group of “genetically mutated” clones who never fit in with their own kind and fit in even less after Order 66. Unlike

We really need a word or a phrase for when you’re a fan of something but not necessarily a fan of the fans of that thing. It’s a concept that’s impacted Rick and Morty, it’s an idea that has long negatively affected the Star Wars franchise, and it’s something that’s been on my mind lately

“We Are The Weirdos, Mister.” A phrase you’ll find printed over t-shirts, pin badges, mugs, earrings, tote bags, necklaces, and more all over the internet. It’s the most iconic line from The Craft, a film released 25 years ago that still has a rabid following today. For anyone unfamiliar with The Craft, it’s a line

With movie theaters reopening, increasing numbers of vaccines going into people’s arms, and numbers continuing to trend in the right direction, Marvel Studios wants you to remember the cinematic experience is important to them. Not only that, they want to remind you about how good it felt to cheer along with the climactic “Avengers assemble!”

In the last decade, it’s become a common refrain among fans and industry players alike: the filmmakers should’ve “planned it better.” This trilogy could’ve been mapped out; those five sequels needed to be outlined first. Perhaps this is inevitable in an era where “shared universe” is part of the everyday vernacular, yet I cannot help

Back to the Future is a classic comedy, one of the most popular films in motion picture history. Almost every laugh line lands with a perfectly executed punch.

It seems like a universal experience with Justice Society: World War II is to come into it excited about seeing characters like Jay Garrick and Wonder Woman in action during the war, and to walk away from it stunned at how amazing Black Canary was.
