How Marvel’s Silver Surfer Met a Rock Guitar God

New DVD release
Joe Satriani is best known as the guitar virtuoso who plumbs the outer regions of space for music which needs no words. His instrumental progression has only yielded a few songs with lyrics, but they tell stories. Satriani’s most recentrecord, The Elephants of Mars, is basically a travelog, which includes a dip in the waters beneath Jupiter’s moon Ganymede. But many Den of Geek readers might remember him as the talent behind a towering ‘90s instrumental record which featured a surprising visual connection to the Marvel Universe.   Satriani’s 1987 album Surfing with the Alien has nothing to do with surf…

The Penguin Set Photos Confirm a New Villain for The Batman Sequel Series

New DVD release
“Holy God! Whattya showing me here?” When Colin Farrell‘s Oz Cobblepot asked that question of Robert Pattinson’s Caped Crusader and Jeffery Combs’s Lieutenant Gordon in The Batman, he was reacting to a set of grisly pictures. The first set photos from The Batman spin-off The Penguin may not be nearly as disgusting, but they’re sure to provoke a strong reaction. The HBO series, which takes place after Matt Reeves’ film, follows Cobblepot’s continuing evolution from the not-entirely respected underboss and Iceberg Lounge proprietor seen in The Batman to something closer to the criminal mastermind we know from the comics. Along…

Mark Ruffalo Reveals Hulk’s Original Role in Avengers: Infinity War Climax

New DVD release
If you remember the ad campaigns for Avengers: Infinity War, the commercials promised a very different climax. The trailer showed a team of heroes running along the fields of Wakanda, wading into battle against the hordes of Thanos. Led by Captain America and T’Challa, they rushed into the fight, joined by Okoye, Bucky, Black Widow, War Machine, and the Hulk. And yet, when audiences sat down to watch the climactic fight scene, they didn’t see the Hulk among them. Rather, it was Bruce Banner in Hulkbuster armor. The armor was the result of a subplot throughout the Phase Three capping…

Scream: Ranking Every Killer Reveal in the Franchise

New DVD release
This article contains major Scream franchise spoilers Practise your best Roger Jackson impression because Scream 6 is carving itself a new legacy. Just a year after Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett brought the slasher series swinging back into our lives after an 11-year hiatus, the phone is ringing again. Sadly, we won’t be saying “Hellooooo Sidney,” as Scream 6 is the franchise’s first without Neve Campbell. Don’t worry, we’ll always have Courteney Cox’s Gale. We’ll always have Gale, right? Little did we know when Wes Craven cast Drew Barrymore for a shocking opening kill back in 1996, Scream would hack…

Arrowverse Co-Creator Breaks Silence on DC Snub

New DVD release
Even before James Gunn announced the upcoming slate for the newly-launched DC Studios that he heads with Peter Safran, we knew that superhero television was about to change. For years, DC succeeded on television where it had arguably struggled on film, thanks to the hugely successful Arrowverse on CW. From the gritty series Arrow that launched in 2012, the Arrowverse grew into a massive superhero soap opera, making up for the absence of the DC Trinity (Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman) with fan-favorites like the Flash and the Atom, and rehabilitated D-listers like Wild Dog and Vibe. But for all of…

Star Wars Addresses Where Grogu Went in the Sequel Trilogy Era

New DVD release
This Star Wars article contains spoilers for The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett. When Luke Skywalker took Grogu as his student in The Mandalorian season 2 finale, some fans feared the worst for the little green guy. Did Grogu joining Luke’s new Jedi academy mean he was at the temple when Ben Solo turned to the dark side and destroyed the school along with most of its students? Had the future master of the Knights of Ren killed Grogu before the start of the Sequel Trilogy? Two years later, we’re a little less concerned for Grogu’s future in…

How Scream Scared Americans into Buying Caller ID

New DVD release
There was a time when folks just answered the phone whenever it rang. It sounds like the dark ages now, but as a child of the ‘90s and 2000s, I remember well the days before iPhones and Androids; the years when it would seem strange for a high schooler to carry a cellphone; and I even vaguely recall a world before Scream. That slasher classic left a deep scar on the zeitgeist when it opened just before Christmas 1996. At a moment when slasher movies were in decline, and horror itself was experiencing something of a fallow period, here was…

Part poignant Full Monty-style working class identity crisis, part Guy-Ritchie-esque geezer flick, it tells the story of a group of young trawlermen who lose everything when the Grimsby fishing industry finally folds, so they decide to pull off a daring robbery to secure the money they need to shore up their futures.

This article contains MCU spoilers Unless you’re Martin Scorsese, chances are you’ve probably sat down for a Marvel movie and enjoyed it. Whether it be the formative days of 2012’s The Avengers, the bombastic action of Avengers: Endgame, or anything between or since, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has touched all corners of the industry… even the Academy Awards. As MCU overlord Kevin Feige tries to add those golden statues to his own Infinity Gauntlet of awards, we’ve seen an uptick in “For Your Consideration” nods.

Scream 6 First Reactions Rave About Ghostface’s Good Works

New DVD release
Unlike Jason Voorhees, it appears that when Ghostface takes Manhattan, he makes quite the night of it! That is certainly the implication from the first wave of social media reactions to Scream 6 from critics and film journalists who saw the movie this week. As a rapid follow up to last year’s Scream legacy sequel (aka Scream 5), the sixth chapter in the franchise has had a large groundswell of anticipation going for it in recent months. The viral success of the hype is likely due to a few factors, not least of which is that the directing/producing team of…

Rocky and Creed Movies Ranked from Worst to Best

New DVD release
It’s been nearly 50 years since a southpaw from Philly went the distance with Apollo Creed. Back then it was a genuinely euphoric moment in cinema, so feel-good that Rocky over-performed at the box office and Oscars, beating out flicks like Network and Taxi Driver for Best Picture, and making Sylvester Stallone one of the biggest movie stars of his generation. Yet even the most elated audiences could scarcely predict how long a tail Balboa’s left hook would have. Forty-six years on, the legacy of Rocky and Apollo grows with nine films and counting, including six Rocky movies and three…

Unwelcome Ending: Redcaps, Alternate Scenes and What a Sequel Could Look Like

New DVD release
This article contains major Unwelcome spoilers. British horror Unwelcome sees city couple Maya (Hannah-John Kamen) and Jamie (Douglas Booth) move to Ireland after a horrific home invasion leaves them shaken. But the new rural home isn’t the peaceful idyll they had hoped for, with a baby on the way. If the violent local family hired to do some building work weren’t enough, they also have murderous Redcaps to deal with. It’s a lot. “It started originally from a conversation I had with Mark Stay, who wrote the film,” says director Jon Wright. “We were kind of almost making fun of…

Star Wars Just Made Palpatine’s Plan in The Rise of Skywalker Even More Complicated

New DVD release
This Star Wars article contains spoilers for The Bad Batch. To paraphrase the exasperated words of Resistance pilot Poe Dameron, somehow the Palpatine cloning plot from The Rise of Skywalker has returned. The latest episode of The Bad Batch, “Metamorphosis,” introduces Imperial scientist Dr. Hemlock (Jimmi Simpson), whom we meet in top-secret Imperial laboratory on the planet Weyland, as he interrogates a captive Nala-Se (Gwendoline Yeo) and sends Imperial forces after a rogue Zillo Beast that has escaped captivity. While these things may seem unrelated, it turns out that both the Zillo Beast and Nala-Se are key to Palpatine’s larger…

Creed III Review: Jonathan Majors Is a Knockout

New DVD release
There are boxing sequels and then there are boxing sequels. Longtime fans of the Rocky and Creed franchise should know exactly what we mean by both. Fortunately, Creed III is the latter, as well as one of the best entries in this long-in-the-chipped-tooth franchise. More interesting still, its success pivots on a fairly subversive idea: What if Rocky was the bad guy? That summary might be an oversimplification of the motivations and backstory ascribed to Jonathan Majors’ Damian Anderson, but it’s also the point. In a series where the opponents are either likable yet oblivious blowhards, a la the original…

The Mummy Almost Killed Brendan Fraser

New DVD release
Brendan Fraser has done some daring things throughout his career. He donned a loin cloth and ran into trees for George of the Jungle. He put in a vulnerable performance under layers of fake flesh for the controversial The Whale. He starred in a movie with Pauly Shore. But it’s that very affability that made Fraser such a beloved star. Whether running around with Bugs Bunny or listening longingly to legendary director James Whale, Fraser brought an openness that immediately brought the audience over to his side. The empathy he generates has been central to his recent resurgence, as fans…

The big ticket item on HBO Max this March is undoubtedly Succession Season 4 on March 26. Part prestige drama and part screwball comedy, Succession is about as fun a watch as they come. Season 4 of the series about egregious wealth will find the Roy siblings reeling after trying and failing to take down their father, Logan (Brian Cox). HBO Max’s other major TV option this month is…

It looks riveting, emotional, and visceral.And as one watches Creed at this stage of his life, one reflects back on the very man and series that it all emerged from: Rocky. Specifically, Rocky III,…
