This Muppets Now review contains spoilers. Muppets Now Episode 5 Muppets Now ends its first and possibly only season with its sixth episode “Socialized.” I couldn’t imagine a more fitting season finale for this show. Half of it relies on the same tired gags as every episode before it. The other half is fresh and

This Strike: Lethal White episode 3 review contains spoilers. Robin’s out of one trap (BYE-EE, Matthew!) but has she jumped straight into another? That cab driver wasn’t played by just anybody – behind the wheel was Annette Badland, a British TV face as recognisable as they come. Names like Badland’s aren’t cast to deliver wry

This article contains spoilers for Disney’s MULAN. You can read our spoiler-free review of the film here. When Disney’s Mulan came out in 1998, American viewers had not yet seen Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000), which was the first big wuxia hit film for American audiences. The animated feature takes its inspiration from a Chinese legend, but

The following contains spoilers for AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER and THE LEGEND OF KORRA. “I’m the Avatar, you gotta deal with it!” With these words we were introduced to Korra, the hero and main character of The Legend of Korra.

Marvel’s Avengers is out now, which means you can finally take control of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. Zip through the skies as Iron Man, wield the mighty hammer of Thor, shoot your way through the bad guys as Black Widow, go on a rampage with the Hulk, and discover the secrets of the Marvel universe as

This Mulan article contains MAJOR spoilers. Read our spoiler-free review here.

Disney‘s new live-action adaptation of Mulan may be PG-13, but it’s still a Disney Princess movie. While the main storyline involves a young woman going off to fight in a war, this is a family film, which means things aren’t going to get particularly violent, even when Hua Mulan is facing off against invading armies.

The following contains spoilers for Raised By Wolves. HBO Max’s new sci-fi series Raised By Wolves, created by Aaron Guzikowski and executive produced by Ridley Scott, sees humanity (and their androids) reduced to two warring religious factions; Atheists, and the “Mithraic”, who follow a religion dedicated to the sun god Sol. The Mithraic get their

Since the 1960s, Star Trek has been lauded for breaking boundaries when it comes to representation on television. That said, it wasn’t until the 21st century that Star Trek specifically included gay and lesbian characters. But now, the franchise will continue its mission to represent the entire human spectrum in Star Trek: Discovery Season 3.

The CW made a rather bold COVID-lockdown-era move back in May to officially announce the return of its entire slate of shows for January 2021. While the current state of the health crisis doesn’t quite reflect the wave of optimism that motivated the move, the network’s plans do appear to be holding up; a notion

HBO Max’s new science fiction series Raised by Wolves is the kind of genre collaboration where it’s fascinating to trace its disparate elements back to their various sources. Showrunner Aaron Guzikowski broke into Hollywood with the 2013 film Prisoners, about the lengths to which a father will go to rescue his kidnapped daughter—themes that are

Animal Crossing: New Horizons is apparently so big with potential voters that 2020 presidential candidates want in. Starting right now, players can scan a QR code to add Joe Biden/Kamala Harris yard signs to their islands.

Check your egos at the door. Will Smith made the right choice Joyce. The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air cast will reunite for an unscripted special to celebrate the 30-year anniversary of the series and the cultural impact it’s had since its debut. The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air Reunion Special is set to tape on Sept.

About three quarters through the newest novel in Timothy Zahn’s long-running Thrawn series, a character notes that he “hadn’t the slightest idea what Thrawn was doing. But the small smile on the Chiss’s face chilled him straight to the bone.” If this is what you’re coming to this book for — tactical puzzles where you

Bad news bears, everyone. Wynonna Earp is going on hiatus following tonight’s episode (aka Season 4, Episode 6: “Holy War Part Two”).

Viewers in the United States will get a chance to watch Black Panther for free tonight in honor of star Chadwick Boseman, whose death on Friday shocked and saddened the world. ABC will air Black Panther, complete and commercial free at 8 pm EDT, followed by a broadcast celebrating the life and legacy of the

The X-Files has always been a cartoon at heart. Dana Scully’s hair has always been a little too red. Fox “Spooky” Mulder’s unimaginative suit and tie was a caricature of federal officer wear. It’s fitting that Fox is developing an animated comedy spinoff of The X-Files which will be executive produced by the series creator

The Madden franchise and I go way back. I poured a lot of fifth-grade free time into Madden NFL 97 for the Super NES, and I can still hear that edition’s chiptune menu music in my head when I think about the series. But, I have to be honest. For all the Madden games I’ve

Bill & Ted Face the Music is OUT NOW! Excellent! (Loud screeching guitar solo). And really, the dim time-traveling duo have returned just when we need them the most.

We’re honored to bring this roundtable conversation between three of speculative fiction’s most exciting up-and-coming authors: Emily Tesh, A.K. Larkwood, and Everina Maxwell. In it, the writers and IRL friends have a funny and insightful conversation about everything from fantasy maps (yea or nay?), writing an emerging romantic relationship (how do Tesh and Maxwell do

In Lovecraft Country, Atticus “Tic” Freeman is a Korean war vet, who went to war to escape the physical abuse he received at the hands of his father. But before that, he escaped into the imagined worlds of Edgar Rice Burroughs, H.P. Lovecraft, and countless others. Reading stories wasn’t just something he did to pass

There you are, ready to watch the new Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War trailer. You’ve got a chicken tender sandwich (on white bread, of course) with extra mayonnaise in one hand and a snifter of Monster Energy drink (Rehab flavored) sitting at the ready on the corner of the IKEA table that you

U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers has issued a restraining order against Apple which will temporarily prevent them from denying Epic Games access to the Apple Developer Program and the iOS version of the Unreal Engine. “I am not inclined to grant relief with respect to the games,” said Judge Rogers at the start of

Warning: this article contains spoilers for Batman: The Long Halloween. With the announcement of an animated two part feature adapting Batman: The Long Halloween to movie format came no small amount of trepidation.

With what was supposed to be the summer movie season now just another relic of this pandemic-blasted year, and the rest of 2020’s major film releases in a continuing state of flux, it’s important to note that there has still been a fairly steady stream of new films coming out, some in limited theatrical release

Dateline: Townsville USA, right smack dab in the middle of the Arrowverse. A Powerpuff Girls live-action series is in development at The CW according to Variety. But it isn’t being prepared in Professor Utonium’s lab. The new take on The Powerpuff Girls comes from the desk of Greg Berlanti, the mastermind behind The CW’s Arrowverse.

This Wynonna Earp review contains spoilers. Wynonna Earp Season 4, Episode 4 “Destiny is what we are drawn towards and fate is that which we run into.” Waverly needs to embroider this onto a pillow to have around the homestead because it’s not a half-bad motto for the Earp family, nor for the show itself.

After much speculation, tweeting, trolling, and gnashing of teeth, HBO Max’s version of Justice League, which may or may not have the title of Zack Snyder’s Justice League, got an official trailer. There’s plenty to deconstruct in it (see our analysis here), but one bright spot is the inclusion of Kiersey Clemons as Iris West.

At DC’s FanDome, most films shared major reveals like trailers, teasers, villains reveals, and more. But for some movies, the pandemic has put them even further behind schedule (or tossed the schedule out altogether), making it harder to plan the steady drip, drip, drip of promotional reveals. For the lead of 2019’s joyously goofy runaway
