The MI6 spy created by Ian Fleming and brought to screen by Harry Saltzman and Albert R. Broccoli is timeless in the most literal sense of the world. Since
When Bosch first premiered on Amazon Prime Video in 2014, the streaming world was in a very different place. Netflix had only House of Cards and Orange is the New Black under its belt.

It’s almost cruel to talk about the best RPGs ever made. Not only is it the kind of topic that inspires especially heated debates, but even a shortlist of the greatest RPGs ever may leave you desperately trying to find the time to somehow play them all. Then again, the thing that separates the best
TV had the run of the place for awhile there during the pandemic. But now that vaccinations are speeding up and the weather is warming, it’s film’s time to shine. At least that’s the conclusion that can be drawn from HBO Max’s list of new releases for June 2021. There are no real original TV

This Lucifer review contains spoilers. Lucifer Season 5 Episode 13 “That’s what you get for bringing a beanbag to a demon fight.” Love is in the air, and as long as the principals don’t overthink things too much, everything should work out that way God intends it. We just don’t know who’ll be taking over
This Lucifer review contains spoilers. Lucifer Season 5 Episode 14 “Heaven’s never been a democracy.” You’d think the return of God and Tricia Helfer would be enough to carry any television episode, but Lucifer’s parents also seem to confirm the veracity of the multiverse theory. Still, it’s the heartwarming scenes within the celestial circle that
This Lucifer review contains spoilers. Lucifer Season 5 Episode 15 “He’s not trying to win an election; he’s trying to win a war.” Lucifer does heartwarming and heart wrenching as well as any television series when the story requires it, but nothing adequately prepares us for the devastating news of Detective Daniel Espinoza’s death at

This Lucifer review contains spoilers. Lucifer Season 5 Episode 16 “Never loving anyone is far worse than loss.” Heads up, humans, there’s a new God in town, and Lucifer fans couldn’t be happier.

This My Hero Academia review contains spoilers. My Hero Academia Season 5 Episode 10 “The time has not yet come” Patience is an extra special virtue in anime.

The SNES isn’t just the greatest Nintendo console of all-time: it’s the home of a truly impressive collection of classic games, underrated gems, and, for our purposes today, a shocking number of games that never got the sequel they deserved.

This article contains Cruella spoilers. Would Emma Stone’s Cruella de Vil skin a dog? That’s the million-dollar question that still hangs over Disney’s demented but otherwise free-spirited Cruella. The movie almost devilishly asks audiences to sit with the idea every time Cruella glances over at her kidnapped Dalmatians. Her voiceover narration may insist that she
