Shazam! Fury of the Gods Brings Back the “Shazamily”: Inside DC’s New Superhero Adventure

New DVD release
This article appears in the new issue of DEN OF GEEK magazine. Get your copy here. It was just four years ago when DC‘s youngest superhero burst onto the screen in David F. Sandberg’s delightful Shazam! Since then, the world has changed in unimaginable ways. But when Den of Geek magazine speaks to the director of the comedic superhero romp and its upcoming sequel, he shares that the story of Billy Batson and his superheroic adult alter ego has been his one constant. “It’s kind of weird because I haven’t done anything else in between. I did Shazam and then [the sequel]…

Ant-Man 3: What Marvel Movies and TV Shows Do You Need to Watch Before Quantumania

New DVD release
You’ve all heard the complaint. Hell, some of you have probably even voiced it (maybe even in our comments). The continuity of the MCU is getting too tricky to keep up with, especially since they’ve started releasing something like four TV shows a year on Disney+ in addition to multiple big screen movies. Add that to the fact that Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is the third flick in the Ant-Man series alone, not to mention the 30-something chapter of the MCU as a whole (if you count the TV shows), well, we get it. And we want to help.…

Scream 6’s Brutal NYC Trip: “You Can’t Trust Anyone” This Time

New DVD release
This article appears in the next issue of DEN OF GEEK magazine. Get your copy here. A little over a year ago, an old friend to horror fans (and a scourge to their onscreen counterparts) returned to cinemas in a big way. After being gone for more than a decade, Ghostface slayed again in Scream (or “Scream 5,” as everyone, including its directors, calls it). And the fiend really did make a killing: at the box office, with fans, and with a majority of critics. Curiously, there is something comforting about seeing the same Edvard Munch-inspired Halloween mask and hearing the familiar voice…

How the Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey Horror Movie Even Exists

New DVD release
“I loved Winnie the Pooh as a kid!” exclaims Rhys Frake-Waterfield. “I think everybody does.” Indeed, most people would agree with that statement about the guileless toy bear who embarked on imaginary adventures with his fellow plush animals and human pal Christopher Robin.  But then again, not everybody is making their feature film debut with Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey. The movie stars Craig David Dowsett and Chris Cordell as Pooh and Piglet, who are now all grown up and bent on revenge against Christopher Robin (Nikolai Leon) after he left them to starve in the Hundred Acre Wood. Fueled with…

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania Review – Marvel Goes Big in Phase 5 Kick-Off

New DVD release
With Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe now in the rearview mirror, Marvel Studios has chosen its arguably most peripheral sub-franchise to officially launch its next big supervillain and overarching storyline. The two previous Ant-Man movies have told smaller, localized stories—basically comedic heist thrillers set in San Francisco—with hints at larger mysteries lurking in the subatomic universe known as the Quantum Realm. Honestly, they were refreshing breaks from the MCU’s usual world-threatening narratives. All that is out the window with Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, the third entry in the series and the first to kick off an MCU…

Shazam: Fury of the Gods – Helen Mirren, Lucy Liu, and Rachel Zegler Are DC’s New, Formidable Villains

New DVD release
Crafting brand new villains for a superhero movie extravaganza like Shazam: Fury of the Gods is no easy feat. But in the highly-anticipated sequel, director David F. Sandberg enlisted three Hollywood icons to bring these original antagonists to life. Looking to the mythological origins of the hero Shazam, Sandberg and writers Henry Gayden and Chris Morgan introduce the Daughters of Atlas; Hespera (Helen Mirren), Kalypso (Lucy Liu), and Anthea (Rachel Zegler), who are less than happy to have seen their father’s powers stolen by the titular superhero. For Sandberg, it was a logical choice. “It was just such a cool…

Lord of the Rings Movie Moments That Didn’t Happen in the Books

New DVD release
The massive success of The Rings of Power and the undying popularity of Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings film trilogy are proof of the longevity of J.R.R. Tolkien’s legendarium. But while Jackson’s extended editions have been pored over by fans for years, there are those who might have enjoyed the movies but have never read the books. The latter group might be surprised to learn that there are actually quite a few scenes in the films that you’ll never find in the books. Because they never happened on the page at all. There is always a specific reason as…

Cocaine Bear Is Not Just About a Killer “Coked-Up” Bear, It’s Also an “Underdog Story”

New DVD release
This article appears in the next issue of DEN OF GEEK magazine. Get your copy here. On September 11, 1985, a former police officer-turned-drug smuggler named Andrew Thornton II dropped himself and around 75 pounds of cocaine out of his private plane over the Chattahoochee National Forest in northern Georgia. But something went wrong: Thornton—who might have hit his head on the way out the door—was found dead in a driveway in Knoxville, Tennessee, his parachute not opening in time, while his plane crashed around 60 miles away. As for the cocaine, Thornton’s crew on the ground never retrieved it, but two…

Scream 6 Directors Tease Wednesday Easter Egg

New DVD release
One of the fun things about the Scream franchise is it’s a series of horror films that are aware they’re horror films. Ever since the original Scream began with Drew Barrymore saying the first Nightmare on Elm Street was scary “but the rest sucked,” even as she was being directed by the first Nightmare’s creator, Wes Craven, these movies have known how to wink at you. Scream 6 (styled Scream VI in marketing) continues the trend, right down to its very first teaser revealing the sequel is set on Halloween night in New York City. In other words, there will…

Can a DCU The Authority Movie Actually Work?

New DVD release
After much anticipation, the new James Gunn and Peter Safran-led DC Studios has finally announced their upcoming film and TV slate. The goal is to create a giant connected shared story spread out across movies, TV, and even gaming. Characters will move fluidly in and out of animation and into live action, and there’s a special DC Elseworlds label to distinguish standalone efforts and visions (such as Todd Phillips’ R-rated Joker movies).But within the actual DCU shared universe, there are some surprises. Amongst familiar faced l ike Superman, Batman, Green Lantern, and even Supergirl, there’s shockers like a Wonder Woman…

Michael Douglas Movies Ranked by How Great His Hair Is

New DVD release
This article contains minor spoilers for various Michael Douglas movies A vintage nepo baby whose Hollywood career first began in the mid-1960s, Michael Douglas has starred in many hit movies over the decades, but today we are bold enough to argue that the real star of those films was not Douglas himself but his impressive hair, so we’re here to run down the absolute, official, and definitive ranking of performances by the actor’s mane during its decades in the industry. Not all of Douglas’ films are listed here, to be completely transparent. We have focused on the big ones, nixing…

Star Trek is Finally Getting Romance Right

New DVD release
Spoiler warning for all of Star Trek! All through the second season of Star Trek: Picard, one burning question was left unasked and unanswered – what happened (or didn’t happen) between Jean-Luc Picard and Beverley Crusher? One of the major themes of the season was Picard’s romantic history and his difficulty building and maintaining a romantic relationship with anyone. But despite their history as a possible couple, explored in an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation (“Attached”) in which they confronted their unspoken feelings for each other, not to mention the alternate future in which they were divorced (“All…

Shazam Star Zachary Levi Wants a DC Kingdom Come Movie

New DVD release
This article contains some spoilers for DC’s Kingdom Come. Read our in-depth Shazam! Fury of the Gods cover story in the new issue of our magazine. Alex Ross and Mark Waid’s Kingdom Come is nothing short of a DC Comics classic. The dark alt-universe Elseworlds tale imagines an Earth where superheroes have become mad with power, as violent and dangerous as the criminals they’ve committed to stop. Ross’ gorgeous gouache-painted pages and a dynamic storyline that pits the Justice League against a new generation of ultra-violent caped crusaders means that Kingdom Come has garnered a loyal fanbase, one that constantly…

Star Trek: Picard Season 3 Will Tackle a Next Generation Storyline the Movies Ignored

New DVD release
Look, everyone knows that it’s lonely work being a Starfleet captain. Seeking out new life and new civilizations doesn’t leave a lot of room for romance (or if you’re Kirk, Riker, or Trip Tucker, lots of room for romance, but nothing long-term). Benjamin Sisko found a way to make it work with Kasidy Yates, despite the Dominion War and the will of the Prophets, but for most captains, their ship is their one true love. Of course, the creators of Star Trek: The Next Generation did hold out the possibility of love for Captain Jean-Luc Picard, tracing across the series…

Ant-Man 3’s WandaVision Link Confirmed Ahead of Release

New DVD release
This article contains WandaVision, Loki, and Hawkeye spoilers We all know that when a character is killed offscreen, or presumed dead, it leaves the door open for their surprise return later on. But when you’re telling a multiverse tale, endless doors are already open. Such is the sandpit that Marvel Studios are playing with in their post-Avengers: Endgame Multiverse Saga. We may have been left to assume that Kingpin (Vincent D’Onofrio) was murdered at the hands of Echo (Alaqua Cox) at the end of the Clint Barton MCU spinoff series Hawkeye, but we already know for sure that he’ll be…

How Peyton Reed’s Fantastic Four Movie Became Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania

New DVD release
When watching Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, one notices two things immediately: first, the movie leaves behind San Francisco, the setting of the earlier Ant-Man adventures, pretty quickly for an extended voyage into the mysteries and wonders of the Quantum Realm; and second, the main cast of characters—Scott Lang / Ant-Man (Paul Rudd), Hope Van Dyne / the Wasp (Evangeline Lilly), Hank Pym (Michael Douglas), Janet Van Dyne (Michelle Pfeiffer), and Cassie Lang (Kathryn Newton)—have solidified into nothing less than a genuine family of superheroes. Even so, they’re not Marvel’s First Family. That honor, of course, goes to the Fantastic…

Why is Batman in The Flash Movie and More Trailer Questions Answered

New DVD release
The Flash movie…ah, what else is there to say after all this time? First announced before Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice was even released, a movie that became a hot potato of scripts and directors even before Ezra Miller became a media sensation for all the wrong reasons. A flick that boasts the impressive Andy Muschietti in the director’s chair with a script by Christina Hodson. A film that just released its first trailer mere weeks after Warner Bros. announced the new DCU plan from DC Studios, a plan which was studiously and diplomatically ambiguous about the status of…

Is Toy Story 5 a Good Idea?

New DVD release
Toy Story 4 grossed a cool $1 billion during the summer of 2019. This was achieved after a nearly decade-long hiatus following the previous film in the Buzz and Woody franchise, Toy Story 3 (2010), which also earned $1 billion. The lack of box office fall-off between installments was remarkable. So this week’s news from rechristened Disney CEO Bob Iger wasn’t exactly a shock: Toy Story 5 is on the way. Apparently with both Tom Hanks’ Woody and Tim Allen’s Buzz Lightyear, if Allen’s social media posts are anything to go by. Still… Is this a good thing? In what…

How Ant-Man 3 Became the Most Important Marvel Movie Since Endgame

New DVD release
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is an enigma—a wild swing from Marvel Studios that has put an almost inordinate amount of pressure on director Peyton Reed’s shoulders. Not only has the filmmaker been tasked with delivering a serious, tone-changing sequel to two of the MCU’s funniest (and arguably most overlooked) movies, but also launching the next phase in the Multiverse Saga by introducing a new Thanos-level threat to mass audiences. Considering how much is on the line, it’s no exaggeration to call Quantumania the most important Marvel movie since Avengers: Endgame. Not bad for the little guy… If you’ve not…
