Where in Fandom Would You Go on a Fictional First Date?

New DVD release
Forget that restaurant out of First Dates, that always looks a bit too light and unforgiving to us anyway, for today’s thought experiment we are opening up the whole of fictional everything to choose a night out from. That’s right, everything. TV, Film, Books, Games, Comics, Taskmaster, literally everything. Wanna hangout on the Holodeck? Spend an evening grooving in the Cantina? Glamming it up at that ball from Baz Lurhmann’s Romeo + Juliet (although that actually was a first date of sorts and it did not end well)? Have at it. We’ve picked ours. We look forward to hearing about…

John Wick: Chapter 4 Post-Credits Scene Opens New Book

New DVD release
This article contains John Wick: Chapter 4 spoilers. The spoiler-free review is here. They actually killed John Wick. The Baba Yaga. The Boogeyman. Death Made Flesh has now at last himself crossed over. Apparently. That’s certainly what we’re led to believe before the ending credits of Chad Stahelski‘s John Wick: Chapter 4 roll, with Keanu Reeves’ preternaturally bespoke, god tier assassin taking a bullet somewhere in the guts while dueling old frenemy Caine (Donnie Yen) for his freedom. Admittedly, we don’t see someone stand over Wick’s body and confirm there’s no pulse. He just lies down, and then there is…

Joker 2 Set Photos and Footage Hint at the Clown Prince of Crime’s New Plan

New DVD release
DC is having quite the moment at the movies. Not only are fans readying themselves for a big reboot of the DC cinematic universe but there’s finally a new Superman movie coming to theaters and directed by DC Studios co-head James Gunn. And even before that, Michael Keaton is returning to the role of Batman for the first time since 1992 in this year’s The Flash. Plus, there’s Matt Reeves’ The Batman Part II and The Penguin HBO spinoff series, the latter of which is currently filming. Whether you like the direction of the new DCU or not, there’s no…

London Action Festival Returns With a Vengeance in 2023

New DVD release
NOTE: Den of Geek is a media sponsor of the London Action Festival. If there’s one thing action fans love, it’s a sequel. We don’t want John McClane to have just one bad day dealing with terrorists. We want him to be in several wrong places at many wrong times. We don’t expect Rambo to embrace pacifism after dealing with power-tripping cops. We want him to strap on a bandolier and wreak worldwide havoc again and again. And Jack Bauer fighting baddies over one 24-hour period? That’s not enough. We want a whole week’s worth of wreckage! It’s in that…

Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves – Justice Smith Explains Simon the Sorcerer

New DVD release
This article is presented by Paramount Pictures. There are few creatures that Justice Smith hasn’t played opposite in his film roles. He’s worked with dinosaurs in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom and buddied up with Pokémon in Detective Pikachu. With Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, he’s added dragons—and a multitude of other fantasy monsters—to his resume. He spoke with Den of Geek about his character and his favorite location in the film. Den of Geek: You play Simon, the party caster, a half-elf sorcerer. What can you tell us about Simon? Justice Smith: Simon doesn’t really have a lot of…

John Wick: Chapter 4 Review: Better Than Ever with Keanu Reeves vs. Donnie Yen

New DVD release
I’ve had a sort of Star Trek thing going on with the John Wick franchise: the odd-numbered films have never fully impressed us, while the even-numbered John Wick: Chapter 2 was a dazzling tour de force that elevated the series to a whole new level of action filmmaking. So I’m happy to report that the odd-even rule continues to be in effect. John Wick: Chapter 4 is a frequently astonishing epic that moves the story forward from the relative wheel-spinning of Chapter 3, using its whopping two-hour-and-49-minute runtime to deliver more stunning action, a heavier dose of humor, and even…

The Rock’s DC Movie Meddling Seemingly Confirmed by Shazam Star

New DVD release
This post contains spoilers for Shazam: The Fury of the Gods Shazam and Black Adam have finally begun to fight. Just not in the way you expected. Or maybe even wanted. Hot off the disappointing opening weekend box office sales of Shazam: The Fury of the Gods, The Wrap released an insider report that blamed Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson for undermining the Big Red Cheese’s cinematic future. In it, unnamed sources describe Johnson as a person who “thinks he’s bigger than the movie,” who wants only “to extend his brand and make a brand centered on himself.” That includes demanding…

Sophia Lillis Talks Playing a Druid in Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves

New DVD release
This article is presented by Paramount Pictures. Sophia Lillis is no stranger to fantasy, having played the lead in the 2020 film Gretel & Hansel. But while that film had her primarily in a realistic world where fantasy rudely intruded, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves has Lillis completely surrounded by the fantastic, both in special effects and immersive sets—and her very own set of horns. Lillis spoke with Den of Geek about playing Doric and what it’s like to see herself turn into an owlbear. Den of Geek: You play Doric, a tiefling druid. What can you tell us…

The Shining Myth Debunked in New Book

New DVD release
“I’m not gonna hurt you.” When the increasingly unhinged Jack Torrence says those words to his wife Wendy midway through The Shining, we don’t believe him. We might believe that Jack’s actor Jack Nicholson has no intention of hurting Wendy’s actor Shelley Duvall, but we’re not sure that the man behind the scenes has her best interests in mind. No, not author Stephen King, who published The Shining in 1977. Rather, the man directing: Stanley Kubrick. Even before his death in 1999, Kubrick achieved mythological status, helming some of the most influential and popular movies of all time, including 2001:…

Netflix’s Noise Ending Explained: Michelle, the Factory and What’s Wrong With Matthias

New DVD release
In Netflix Belgian thriller Noise Mattias (Ward Kerremans), a social influencer with a baby son, uncovers secrets from the past when he and his wife, Liv (Sallie Harmsen), move back to his childhood home. It’s twisty and tinged with horror, but it also requires attention to follow what’s going on, and indeed, what’s real and what is not.  Co-written and directed by Steffen Geypens, it’s a small-town chiller that’s high on atmosphere, in particular (as you might expect) the audio elements as the increasingly unsettled Mattias dives down a rabbit hole of his family history, while becoming more and more…

Everything Everywhere Directors Defend Star Wars Jump

New DVD release
Going to Disneyland may be a perfectly acceptable way for football players to celebrate a big win, but eyebrows raise when film directors say the same thing. At least that’s a takeaway from the internet’s response to the news that Everything Everywhere All at Once directors Daniels are following their Oscar triumph by working for Disney. The filmmaking duo, consisting of Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, this week announced that they would be directing an episode of Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, the upcoming series starring Jude Law and created by Spider-Man: No Way Home director John Watts. The internet responded…

Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves – How Michelle Rodriguez Brings Holga the Barbarian to Life

New DVD release
This article is presented by Paramount Pictures. There may not be car chases in Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, but Michelle Rodriguez—best known for her work in The Fast & the Furious series—doesn’t let that stop her from being at the center of the action. As Holga the barbarian, Rodriguez has some of the best action sequences in the film. She spoke with Den of Geek about her training, filming, and her history as a gamer. Den of Geek: What can you tell us about Holga, the barbarian you play in the film? Michelle Rodriguez: She’s a woman of…

Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves – Who is Chris Pine’s Edgin the Bard?

New DVD release
This article is presented by Paramount Pictures. Chris Pine has been Captain Kirk. He’s been Wonder Woman’s soulmate. And he’s also one of the biggest stars in the world. But the latest blockbuster adventure he finds himself on is in Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, leading “the Bad News Bears of world-saving” as Edgin, a savvy bard with a knack for planning, and plenty of room for the actor’s signature charm. Pine told us all about bringing Edgin (and the bard’s trademark instrument, the lute) to the big screen. Den of Geek: You joined Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among…

Bob Odenkirk’s The Room Remake Will Defy Your Expectations

New DVD release
Bob Odenkirk is not making fun of Tommy Wiseau. Yes, he’s doing a reading of the enigmatic filmmaker’s 2003 bad-movie staple The Room, in which he plays main character Johnny, through which Wiseau vented all of his frustrations with the world. But he has no intention of mocking the movie or its writer/director/star/hype-man Wiseau. “We didn’t make fun of it,” he promised Den of Geek while promoting his new series Lucky Hank at SXSW. “Because that’s already been done.” More than a reluctance to cover well-trod ground, Odenkirk’s refusal to mock The Room comes from a place of love and…

Lord of the Rings: The Many Ways Tolkien Songs Have Shown Up in Movies, TV, and More

New DVD release
Music has always played an important role in Tolkien adaptations. J.A. Bayona, producer and director on Amazon’s Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, told Den of Geek last year that he played music on set for the actors to help them get “the right tone” for their characters, and that “there’s an… obvious sense of musicality when you read the books” which is “all about language and the beauty of language.” The show’s season one finale even featured a new musical setting for Tolkien’s “Rhyme of the Rings,” written by Bear McCreary and performed by Fiona Apple, which…

Shazam 2 and the Birth of the Lame Duck Superhero Movie

New DVD release
Things appeared pretty dire for Shazam! Fury of the Gods when less than two weeks before release, Warner Bros. Pictures spoiled a major surprise in a TV spot: Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman, aka the star of one of the most popular and best reviewed DCEU films, is appearing in a cameo alongside Shazam star Zachary Levi. Typically, this is the kind of surprise that’s guarded with the utmost secrecy; an “easter egg” that folks’ jobs would be on the line to protect. It’s the cheerworthy moment that’s supposed to tie one beloved DC superhero franchise’s story to another’s, and make…

SXSW 2023 Film and TV Round Up: Recapping the Best of the Fest

New DVD release
Can a festival have swagger? Because it felt like SXSW was swaggering in 2023. This should not be a total surprise for a weeklong conference that’s an intersection between film, television, music, gaming, technology, and arguably innovation itself. As per one industry insider, SXSW has long been perceived as “the cool kids festival.” Nonetheless, one year and a day after Everything Everywhere All at Once premiered on SXSW’s opening night, that film went on to win a staggering seven Oscars on the same weekend as the 2023 festival. And after last Sunday, excitement and a sense of vindication floated in…

Shazam: Fury of the Gods – The Story Behind Those Big DC Cameos, Easter Eggs, and More

New DVD release
This article contains nothing but Shazam! Fury of the Gods spoilers. Shazam! Fury of the Gods is a big movie. It’s essentially a team movie, with not only Billy Batson, but his entire foster family bringing a total of six superheroes to the table (not to mention the presence of Djimon Hounsou’s Wizard). And they’re facing off with three villains, in the form of Helen Mirren as Hespera, Lucy Liu as Kalypso, and Rachel Zegler as Anthea. And then there are a menagerie of magical monsters that populate the film’s final act. And if all of that ain’t enough, there’s…

Shazam! Fury of the Gods: What Those End Credits Scenes Mean for the DCU

New DVD release
This article contains spoilers for the Shazam! Fury of the Gods ending. At the end of Shazam! Fury of the Gods, the title superhero (Zachary Levi) seemingly makes the ultimate sacrifice in one final battle against the evil goddess Kalypso (Lucy Liu). With the help of her sister Hespera (Helen Mirren), Shazam turns his full power and that of the Wizard’s staff against Kalypso, destroying both her and the many monsters she has summoned to lay waste to Earth. But the battle also leaves Billy Batson, Shazam’s alter ego, dead, and the staff itself bereft of all power. That is,…

Talk to Me Review: A24 Horror Movie Offers Brutal Ghost Story

New DVD release
It is a truth universally acknowledged that those who play stupid games win stupid prizes. Or in the more modern parlance, if you fuck around, you find out. In spite of these colloquialisms, and many just like them, anyone who was ever young has played these games and fucked around much. Whether it’s by way of drinking from a keg at a party, passing around a vice that was of a more illegal vintage, or simply driving over the speed limit, we have a tendency in our youth to do stupid things for the thrill, especially if a pal is…
