Those pesky killer tomatoes have been quiet for a while, but like many of our cult franchise faves, they were way overdue for a reboot! Enter this year’s Attack of the Killer Tomatoes: Organic Intelligence, a fifth film in the Killer Tomatoes series that follows a young biotech prodigy developing a revolutionary genetically engineered vegetable designed to solve humanity’s problems. Fortunately, for fans of the original 1978 movie and its sequels, the experiment spirals out of control, unleashing a new generation of killer tomatoes upon us. We caught up with Organic Intelligence stars Dan Bakkedahl, Myrna Velasco, and Noor Razooky…

Boss fights in video games are the culmination of the game’s systems, testing everything you’ve learned in a final clash for survival. If you can’t cheese it, that is, or find a way to bypass a lot of what makes the fight difficult. You may wonder why anyone would do that, since it essentially takes away from the experience of the game, but gamers have their reasons. Not all of us have all the time in the world to master a game’s system, let alone beat its hardest moments, but we still want the feeling of satisfaction from doing every…

Some comedies make you laugh because of the dialogue. Others get there by throwing one ridiculous situation after another at their characters until everything falls apart. The Hangover somehow manages to do both. Every new clue about the missing night creates an even bigger problem, and the group’s increasingly desperate attempts to fix things only make the chaos worse. Along the way, the movie piles on unforgettable visual gags, perfectly timed reactions, and running jokes that are still quoted years later. It’s the kind of comedy that rewards repeat viewings because there’s always another joke waiting in the background. Here…

Nerds come in all shapes and sizes, bringing up ‘fun facts’ about history, wildlife and everything in between. Reddit users get together from time to time to share their little factoids with the world, letting us know all kinds of things to be all the rage at parties. The results ranged from strange animal biology and forgotten history to surprising facts about famous people and unusual scientific discoveries. Some are genuinely useful, others are simply fascinating, but they’re all the kind of trivia that sticks in your brain far longer than expected. IMDb History’s Most Unlikely Neighborhood Between 1913 and…

Some comedies rely on clever dialogue, while others get the biggest laughs from complete absurdity. Blades of Glory somehow manages to do both. The movie throws together ridiculous characters, over-the-top rivalries, outrageous costumes, and just enough surprisingly impressive skating to make the whole thing work. Years later, many fans still remember individual scenes long before they remember the competition itself. That’s usually a good sign a comedy got something right. Here are 15 of the funniest jokes from Blades of Glory. ©IMDb Chazz and Jimmy are forced to compete together The entire premise is ridiculous from the start. After getting…

This article contains spoilers for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 4 episode 1 For six decades, Star Trek has featured an array of planets, endless alien species, and countless godlike beings. But the kick-off to the fourth season of Strange New Worlds may have outdone all its predecessors. The season 4 premiere, “Valles Marineris” sends Captain Pike and the USS Enterprise back to prehistoric Earth, where they discover not just a planet ruled by dinosaurs but also a Martian military at war with enemies from another planet in our solar system, a planet heretofore unknown to us. By the…

Barring an ominous but brief post-credits scene in last year’s Fantastic Four: First Steps—a cameo, we might add that featured neither a line of dialogue or closeup—Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom will not have a real introduction before the highly anticipated Marvel Studios joint bearing his name this December: Avengers: Doomsday. Off-screen, the diehard fans and even some casuals know one of the key reasons for this. Until sometime well into 2024, Downey nor Doom were expected to star in the first Avengers movie since 2019’s Endgame. But following some last-minute brainstorming and rearranging of MCU strategy, Avengers day became…

This article contains potential spoilers for Avengers: Doomsday. Judging by the first trailer for Avengers: Doomsday, Doctor Doom is a multiversal threat who battles Thor and the original Avengers. Sure, some other heroes are involved, including the X-Men and the New Avengers, but they’re mostly concerned with fighting one another. Least relevant of all, according to the trailer, are the Fantastic Four, who just hang out in the background, giving each other hugs and shaking the hands of Wakandans. Comic book fans find this infuriating, and not just because Doctor Doom first appeared in the pages of Fantastic Four. However,…

Being a nerd can get expensive fast. Between board games, collectibles, comics, manga, video games, and fandom merchandise, it’s easy to spend far more than you planned. Fortunately, not every geeky purchase requires collector-level budgets. A handful of retailers have built loyal followings by offering discounts, used inventory, and even clearance deals. If you’re hunting for tabletop games, action figures, books, or digital downloads, these stores have earned reputations for delivering good value without sacrificing selection. Here are some of the best places nerds can shop without completely emptying their wallets. Game Nerdz Game Nerdz Board game enthusiasts frequently recommend…

Think about the last action movie you really enjoyed. Chances are you remember the car chase, the fight, or the impossible stunt long before you remember the plot. That’s hardly unusual. Plenty of action movies are designed that way, putting all their energy into spectacular set pieces while keeping the story as simple as possible. Here are 15 movies where the action is clearly more important than the plot. ©IMDb Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) The story could be summed up in a couple of sentences, but that’s never been the point. George Miller fills nearly every minute with practical…

This review contains spoilers for The Walking Dead: Dead City season 3 episode 1, “Trillium.” If you forgot what happened in the first two seasons of Dead City, it’s unlikely you’ll need a recap because the season 3 premiere has Negan briefly rehash the basics for us after he finds Maggie digging a grave for Ginny. Maggie and Negan trade the moral high ground, with Negan upset at Maggie’s role in the loss of his young charge and Maggie apologizing, telling Negan she would undo her actions if she could, but she can’t, and that Negan needs to accept it.…

*Editor’s note: This article contains House of the Dragon Season 3 episode 6 spoilers. Also Lord Commander Alec Bojalad is out this week, so brother David Crow is taking the watch. Promise magic but then deliver horror and pain. This not-so-secret recipe has always made the fantasy worlds of George R.R. Martin taste simultaneously bitter and exciting. Whereas most high-fantasy since the days of Tolkien and Baum has leaned into wonderment, and an often childlike sense of escapism, the minor-key appeal of A Song of Ice and Fire is it resembles the reality we run from. There’s a kind of…

Marvel Studios packed its big presentation with even more multiversal chaos at SDCC this weekend, adding a Ryan Gosling Ghost Rider solo movie to its upcoming slate and bringing the cast of Avengers: Doomsday to the stage, even taking a little time out to reject Ryan Reynolds’ impassioned pleas to join the line-up as Deadpool. One of the biggest reveals in the new Doomsday footage shown in Hall H was the arrival of the Sentinels. These towering mutant-hunting robots appeared as part of Doctor Doom’s attack, with the latest footage showing Robert Downey Jr.’s villain commanding an army of the…

Marvel rocked up at Hall H during San Diego Comic-Con this weekend with a number of interesting reveals, including a new Ghost Rider movie starring Ryan Gosling and a new Black Panther for Ryan Coogler’s upcoming threequel. The studio also wowed the crowd with new footage from Avengers: Doomsday, featuring even more moments with Robert Downey Jr.’s villainous spin on Doctor Doom. Additionally, Downey Jr. took questions from the press alongside his Doomsday castmates, including Chris Evans, Paul Rudd, and Pedro Pascal. After years of playing Tony Stark a.k.a. Iron Man in the MCU, the actor is in the midst…

The 18th of December might mark Doomsday, but things are already looking a little brighter beyond that in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. After all, we just got some pretty amazing casting announcements for Phase Six, and chief among them is the shocker that closed out the Saturday night San Diego Comic-Con panel: David Jonsson will be starring in the next Black Panther movie! Right in the last moments of a starry SDCC panel that featured all of the Avengers: Doomsday cast, plus the reveal that Ryan Gosling is going to play Ghost Rider, Marvel Studios President, and SDCC’s proverbial master…

Over centuries in the Marvel Universe, Ghost Rider has gone by many names: he has been the demon Zarathos, his hosts have included the stuntman Johnny Blaze, the troubled teen Danny Ketch, the street racer Robbie Reyes. But now, he’s just Ken. Ryan Gosling was announced at SDCC 2026 to join the MCU as the next Ghost Rider, in a film directed by Deadpool & Wolverine director Shawn Levy. At the moment, details are unclear about which incarnation of Ghost Rider Gosling will play, but coming off of hits Barbie and Project Hail Mary, he’ll likely be the movie’s primary…

Prime Video’s The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power has a lot of ground to cover in its third season. Not only is there still much to see and do in the show’s canon, based on the legendary J.R.R. Tolkien’s expansive Middle-earth appendices, but there are many faces, both new and old, that LOTR fans have yet to meet. The show’s expansive panel at San Diego Comic-Con 2026 went a long way in introducing some of those faces. From Eddie Marsan as dwarf Thrain, to Andrew Richardson as son of Elendil Anarion, to…wait a minute, this can’t possibly…

There are two emerging schools of thoughts around HBO’s upcoming adaptation of the Green Lantern mythology on premium cable: there are those who love that it looks like a real HBO drama—most specifically True Detective with maybe a sprinkling of Watchmen (fitting since one of the series’ creators is Damon Lindelof)—and those who recoil at such a low-fi approach to one of the DC Universe’s spaciest and most operatic of space operas. That divide might be changing, though, after a groovy three-minute sizzle reel that just dropped on the San Diego Comic-Con faithful in Hall H. Accompanied by cast and…

For some reason, the first trailer for Ebenezer doesn’t emphasize its new vision for one of the most memorable stories in English literature. Instead the trailer leans into the audience’s fondness for its star Johnny Depp, citing roles such as Captain Jack Sparrow, Edward Scissorhands, the Mad Hatter, and, of course, his very first screen character, Glen Lantz. No, the on-screen titles don’t explicitly state Glen’s name, nor do they mention his film, 1984’s A Nightmare on Elm Street. But one shot in the trailer does recall Glen’s final fate. Among the images of Depp giving a very hammy performance…

Fans have reason to worry any time a beloved work gets adapted into a different medium, but few have as many reasons as fans of the Resident Evil video game series. While that franchise has spun off into seven live-action movies, the results have been mixed. The Paul W. S. Anderson movies starring Milla Jovovich take only the most external trappings of the games and apply them to a totally different genre of action and tone, while the 2021 reboot Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City remained superficially faithful to the games but did not tell a compelling story. For…
