Black Adam: How Cyclone Honors the Legacy of a Classic DC Superhero

New DVD release
Quintessa Swindell couldn’t be more excited to be taking on the role of Maxine Hunkle. While that particular DC superhero isn’t exactly a household name yet, Swindell’s portrayal of the cult hero known as Cyclone in the upcoming Black Adam movie is going to change all that. We spoke with Swindell about bringing the character to life, how being a legacy hero informs Cyclone’s journey, and why her relationship with Atom Smasher is at the heart of the movie’s Justice Society of America. What was it about Cyclone that first got you excited? QUINTESSA SWINDELL: Honestly, it was the way…

Why D&D: Honor Among Thieves Is Ditching Tolkien for Princess Bride

New DVD release
The first time producer Jeremy Latcham came to San Diego Comic-Con, alongside Kevin Feige and the rest of the early Marvel Studios team, he wasn’t even allowed inside of Hall H. None of them were. In that strangely arcane moment from recent pop culture past, Marvel Studios’ gambit to go it alone was dubbed by the trades as “Marvel’s B-Team” in San Diego—a studio that wanted to make solo movies about Iron Man, Captain America, Ant-Man, and the Hulk looked pretty silly back when SDCC’s biggest stage was reserved for the likes of Spider-Man 3. The reaction that Latcham saw…

The Gray Man Review: Gosling, Evans and the Russos Color Inside The Lines

New DVD release
There’s a moment in The Gray Man, the new movie from Avengers: Endgame directors Anthony and Joe Russo, in which hell is breaking loose outside a building in Prague (it’s hard to keep track of all the globetrotting in this movie). The building is blowing up; there are heavily armed assassins and local security forces shooting each other to pieces in the square outside; and soon a city tram is hurtling off its tracks and crashing through more vehicles while demolishing a whole city block. All I could think was: Wouldn’t this rise to the level of an international incident?…

Black Adam: What Hawkman’s “Sordid History” Means for the JSA

New DVD release
Aldis Hodge has built a name for himself as a powerful character actor and vibrant creative force. In Black Adam, Hodge is taking on one of the oldest and most storied DC characters, Hawkman. A founding member of the Justice Society of America, the timeless superhero plays a key role in the upcoming movie. We spoke with Hodge about the impact of Hawkman and his moral battle with Black Adam himself.  What first excited you about playing Hawkman? ALDIS HODGE: It was his affiliations, his history, who he was to DC. He’s been all over, he’s been through so many different…

The Real Murder Investigation Involving the Where the Crawdads Sing Author

New DVD release
“Everybody has a secret,” teases the promotional poster for Sony’s new film adaptation of Where the Crawdads Sing. Daisy Edgar-Jones stars in the film as Kya, a young woman who as a child survived living alone in the unforgiving marshlands of North Carolina. Now an adult, she finds re-entry into human society complicated. Things complicate further when she’s accused of murder. It’s an intriguing premise. But another intriguing secret the film studio really doesn’t want people talking about is the way Kya’s situation might mirror the troubling past of Crawdads’ author Delia Owens. Several high-profile news articles and television shows…

It Was Always the Plan for Black Adam to Change the DC Universe

New DVD release
It’s been a long road to bring Black Adam to the big screen. Dwayne Johnson has been connected to the role for approximately 15 years, and it’s become something of a passion project for the celebrated action movie star. “It feels incredibly gratifying because it’s been a long time [with] a lot of ups and downs,” Johnson tells us on the Warner Bros. lot after the film’s first trailer debuts.  While Johnson is excited to finally be putting on that iconic black suit, there’s an even bigger plan at work. “The whole goal of our movie was to set off…

Are Deadpool and Logan Paving the Way for More R-Rated Disney+ Content?

New DVD release
Few companies have devoted as much time, energy, and money to protecting their brand as Disney. Since the first foundations were laid in the House of Mouse, Disney has portrayed itself as a safe place, a haven for kid-friendly content, designed to avoid any controversy that would drive away customers families. When it decided to pursue viewers of PG+ entertainment, Disney formed sub-studios like Hollywood Pictures and Touchstone Pictures, which allowed them to put out films such as Good Morning, Vietnam or V.I. Warshawski without tarnishing the main brand. When Disney purchased 20th Century Fox in 2019, its main goal was…

How Dwayne Johnson Finally Brought Black Adam to the Big Screen

New DVD release
Like every interview does, our chat with Dwayne Johnson begins with a question. But it’s not Den of Geek asking it. Instead, Johnson wants to know how we feel about Black Adam and what it’s bringing to the world of superhero movies.  The answer is, just like the star, excited.  We’re on the Warner Bros. lot in Los Angeles to talk about Black Adam, and the actor is pursuing one of his favorite lines of conversation: what the fans of these iconic DC characters think about his upcoming blockbuster, which, in his words, will “disrupt” the superhero movie landscape.  Johnson’s…

Nope Review: Jordan Peele and Daniel Kaluuya Channel Steven Spielberg

New DVD release
With his debut feature, Get Out, Jordan Peele reinvented himself as a groundbreaking genre director/writer with an almost uncanny sense of how to balance the horrific with the socially conscious, while adding a nice dash of edgy humor as well. His second feature, Us, was more ambitious conceptually yet perhaps not quite as sharp thematically, although the film was still largely effective, unpredictable, and managed to stick the landing. In his third film, Nope, Peele leans more fully into science fiction (with horror flavoring) and also aims for his most visually ambitious film yet – a “spectacle,” as all the…

New Report Slams Marvel Studios for Low Comic Creator Royalties

New DVD release
“I made macaroni.” That line, from Hawkeye episode 5 “Ronin,” launched one of the most exciting developments in the MCU’s phase four: the friendship between Kate Bishop and Yelena Belova. Played with irreverent pluck by Florence Pugh, Belova was not only the breakout character in Black Widow, but also a key part of Marvel’s future plans, joining Contessa Valentina Allegra de la Fontaine’s team of misfits. If early reaction to Yelena is any indication, then the Marvel Cinematic Universe can continue its popularity, even as it loses original heroes like Tony Stark and Steve Rogers. Like every other part of the…

Controversial Quentin Tarantino Movie Being Removed from Netflix

New DVD release
Quentin Tarantino’s award-winning Western Django Unchained is leaving Netflix on July 24. The movie, which was originally released in 2012, turned out to be a fairly controversial project for the esteemed director, despite its various successes in the industry, and viewers will need to decide for themselves whether Tarantino went too far with his extremely stylized depiction of slavery. The film’s story follows the journey of a slave (Jamie Foxx) in the Old West and Antebellum South who trains under a German bounty hunter (Christoph Waltz) in an attempt to reunite with his wife, Broomhilda von Shaft (Kerry Washington). After…

Marvel SDCC 2022: Panel Schedule and What MCU Reveals to Expect

New DVD release
San Diego Comic-Con has long been the highlight of the nerd world, a weekend filled with celebrations of beloved stories and the announcement of new franchise entries. However, between Covid forcing the cancellation of the 2020 event and Marvel skipping the convention last year, SDCC has lost some of its luster. But SDCC 2022 promises to restore the convention to its former glory, thanks in no small part to Marvel’s potentially triumphant return.  The return of Marvel comes on the heels of what might be a decisive point for the pop cultural juggernaut. Their latest movie, Thor: Love and Thunder,…

Netflix’s Persuasion Cast: Meet the Actors From Peaky Blinders, Fifty Shades and Doctor Who

New DVD release
The horror! Cried early reviews. A travesty of a Jane Austen adaptation! Then followed some more level-headed takes which didn’t find themselves quite as allergic to Persuasion‘s modern-sensibilities-in-period-rom-com approach. Now, after the fuss, Netflix audiences are making up their own minds. If you’re among them and are planning to spend/have spent just shy of two hours with the cast below, here are some of the places you may recognise them from. (It’s Fleabag, by the way, where you’ve seen Captain Harville’s wife before. She played the guinea pig-loving Boo. You can have that one for free). Dakota Johnson as Anne…

New Justice League Report Is a Bad Look for Zack Snyder

New DVD release
For some, the phrase “Release the Snyder Cut” has been a rallying cry for artistic integrity. They use the phrase to push back against mega-corporation Warner Brothers, demanding that director Zack Snyder be given the opportunity to complete his vision for DC Comics heroes the Justice League, which he began with Man of Steel in 2012. For them, the phrase rejects the 2017 theatrical release of Justice League, which was completed by Joss Whedon after a family tragedy pulled Snyder away from the production. But for others, “Release the Snyder Cut” is a threat, a demand to silence all criticisms…

Star Wars Finally Fixes Prequel Era Plot Hole That Hurt Original Trilogy

New DVD release
It’s one of the most famous and consequential scenes in Return of the Jedi: before Luke Skywalker heads off to face Darth Vader and the Emperor, he must first reveal a long-buried truth to Princess Leia about who she really is. The audience only learned the news several scenes before on Dagobah, that Luke and Leia are brother and sister, but how will Leia take the news? Back in the Ewok village on Endor, Luke asks Leia if she has any memory of her mother in hopes of learning something about his own. “Just a little bit. She died when…

Persuasion Discourse Has Revealed Racism in Jane Austen Fandom

New DVD release
Netflix’s Persuasion starring Dakota Johnson as Anne Elliot and Cosmo Jarvis as Capt. Wentworth has become a very controversial adaptation of Jane Austen’s novel since debuting on Netflix, with many critics and writers already debating the pros and the cons of the movie. However, in my personal opinion as an Afro-Caribbean American Austen fan, there has not been enough discussion of the harm racists and gatekeepers have done with the way they have engaged in discussing this movie. I personally experienced the wrath of Austen fandom racists during “PineappleGate” and know that the debates over the merits of director Carrie…

Clueless, Easy A, and Romeo + Juliet: Best Movie Modernizations of Classic Literature

New DVD release
What makes a story a “classic?” It’s a vague yet glorious distinction applied to books, films, art, and even models of vintage cars whose value is passed down from one generation to the next. But is it just the length of time a text or work survives that qualifies it as a “classic” or is there something more? Generally speaking, the classics that tend to be celebrated one generation after another, and especially those that are passed down from one century to another, are works that speak of something timeless. The times we live in will change, culture will change,…

Rollerball: James Caan Was the Good Sport in a Bad Game

New DVD release
Norman Jewison’s 1975 dystopian sports allegory, Rollerball, looms large as an icon of cult filmmaking, but its power in the science fiction pantheon is grossly underestimated. The film has the force of a deeply personal vision from its director, and the full support of a nuanced performance from the late James Caan as Jonathan E., aka the star Rollerballer. Prior to redefining movie gangsters in The Godfather, Caan executed a game-changing role in Brian’s Song. He played Chicago Bears running back Brian Piccolo against Billy Dee Williams’ Gayle Sayers, his rival and roommate in an era when Black and white…
