Thor: Love and Thunder Ending Explained: What It Means for the MCU

New DVD release
This post contains THOR: LOVE AND THUNDER spoilers. At the beginning of Thor: Love and Thunder, the kindly Kronun Korg invited us to gather around and hear the story of Thor, the Space Viking who lost his way. By the end of the movie, Thor seems to have found himself, discovering a new purpose caring for the daughter of his one-time enemy Gorr and traveling the stars righting any wrongs, wherever he finds them.  Along the way, Thor got some closure on his failed relationship with ex-girlfriend Jane Foster, who joined him and King Valkyrie as the Mighty Thor in…

Brett Goldstein: Where to Watch the Ted Lasso Actor Next

New DVD release
How far can immaculate eyebrows and a whole host of talent get you in life? Well, if Ted Lasso star Brett Goldstein is any indication, the answer is pretty freaking far! When Ted Lasso first premiered on Apple TV+ in August 2020, it immediately made waves for having a deep bench of compelling supporting players to act opposite lead Jason Sudeikis. But with the utmost respect to Hannah Waddingham, Juno Temple, and everyone else in the AFC Richmond football team’s orbit, it was Brett Goldstein’s Roy Kent who jumped off the screen in particular. Loosely inspired by the real life…

How India Rose Hemsworth Improves the MCU in Thor: Love and Thunder

New DVD release
This article contains major Thor: Love and Thunder spoilers Love is a force greater than hate. That simple yet enduring message is at the heart of Thor: Love and Thunder—and to the movie’s credit, the meaning comes through in a way no one expected. Going into the theater for the fourth adventure of Chris Hemsworth’s Thor Odinson, most audiences likely anticipated the new film to be a sweet romantic comedy between Thor and Natalie Portman’s returned Dr. Jane Foster, aka the Mighty Thor. It is called “Love and Thunder,” after all. But as it turns out, the “Love” in Thor…

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 Cast, Story, Release Date, Trailer News and More!

New DVD release
In 2014, when the Marvel Cinematic Universe was proving itself to be a huge success of a project and Phase 2 was in full swing, Guardians of the Galaxy was seen as a big gamble. Instead of adapting a Marvel mainstay from the 1960s, they were making a movie based on a space-based superhero team that existed briefly in the mid-00s. Marvel was going to be expanding their universe with an adventure starring the chubby guy from Parks and Recreation and a professional wrestler. The movie’s style was previewed in a mid-credits scene in Thor: The Dark World and it…

Thor: Love and Thunder Post-Credits Scenes Explained

New DVD release
This article contains Thor: Love and Thunder spoilers. Even more than his previous outing with Thor: Ragnarok, Taika Waititi’s Thor: Love and Thunder takes the titular Space Viking beyond the previously established boundaries of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. From wandering across the stars with the Guardians of the Galaxy to coming face to face with Eternity, the embodiment of the MCU itself, Thor found his new purpose in the most unlikely of places.  But like all other MCU movies, the end of the story is not the end of Thor: Love and Thunder. With an end-credit sequence and a post-credit…

What MCU Things to Watch Before Thor: Love and Thunder

New DVD release
It’s hard to believe 11 years have passed since Chris Hemsowrth smashed a coffee mug across the floor and shouted “ANOTHER!” Yet here we are, more than 20 Marvel movies later, breathlessly awaiting Hemsworth’s eighth live-action appearance as the Space Viking they call Thor and his newest adventure across the cosmos. As the first Thor movie to be helmed by a returning director, in this case Thor: Ragnarok’s Taika Waititi, there’s a lot of connective tissue with that film and this weekend’s Thor: Love and Thunder. But you might be surprised at which other MCU projects will be apropos to…

Batman & Robin: Mr. Freeze and Poison Ivy Still Deserve Redemption

New DVD release
When Batman & Robin came out 25 years ago in the summer of 1997, it pretty much acted as the death knell for the Dark Knight on the big screen. Following on the heels of 1995’s Batman Forever, this silly, sub-juvenile horror show from director Joel Schumacher killed any good will built up by the earlier Tim Burton Batman movies and created such an awkward situation for Warner Bros. that they ultimately decided it would be better to reboot the franchise eight years later by letting Christopher Nolan go in startling new directions with Batman Begins (2005). Since then we’ve…

Thor: Love and Thunder Review

New DVD release
Thor: Love and Thunder begins with the image of a bald man, dehydrated and abandoned, walking through a desert with a small child limp in his arms. It’s remarkable since before this sight, our only impression of the Marvel Studios fourthquel has been marketing that’s reveled in the blithe and psychedelic. As the Love and Thunder title suggests, this is meant to be a goofy romantic comedy, with an emphasis on comedy. Right? Yet the film starts not on chuckles or kisses; instead it opens with Christian Bale’s forlorn and forgotten Gorr, an alien of nondescript origin who’s been left…

The Batman Movie That Divided Fans Becomes a Surprise Hit on Netflix

New DVD release
Matt Reeves’ The Batman kicked off a new era of Dark Knight tales earlier this year, one in which a broody Robert Pattinson punishes criminals night after night while completely shedding the billionaire playboy persona that has long defined Bruce Wayne in pop culture. It’s definitely a different take than general audiences are used to seeing in theaters. But this year’s film marks the beginning of just the latest era of Batman movies for Warner Bros. Before The Batman, there was Zack Snyder’s DCEU take on the Caped Crusader. In Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Ben Affleck’s Bat branded…

The Failure of Lightyear: Does Disney Have a Streaming Problem?

New DVD release
It was a very happy Fourth of July holiday weekend for movie theater owners in the U.S. For the second week in a row, the top three highest grossing movies all crossed $20 million when the four-day window is accounted for. More impressive still, all of the weekend’s top five grossing pics are on the road to turning a hefty profit, with the second highest earner, Paramount’s Top Gun: Maverick, adding an astonishing $25.8 million to its gargantuan $564.3 million domestic total despite being in its sixth weekend. It’s giddy news for distributors and exhibitors who bet there was still…

Battlestar Galactica: What’s Going On With the New Movie and TV Shared Universe?

New DVD release
It’s been 13 years since the Galactica reached Earth. We watched in the 2009 finale “Daybreak” as Admiral Adama, President Roslin, Apollo, Starbuck, Gaius Baltar, and Caprica Six walked towards a bright and unwritten future in their new home. It was a cathartic (but predictably divisive) ending to a six-year TV journey that remains one of the best and most influential in science fiction history. There’s no question that Battlestar Galactica paved the way for other serious, gritty political sci-fi dramas like The Expanse and the recently released Foundation adaptation. But Battlestar Galactica‘s legacy is one thing. What about its…

Stranger Things: Best Monster TV Shows & Movies to Watch Next

New DVD release
Gloop. Guts. Gigantic gore creatures from alternate dimensions having tentacles axed off by plucky schoolkids who should by rights be doing homework/a paper route instead of saving the world, but honestly, who else is going to do it? Not the government, not the military and definitely not the shady experimental lab on the edge of town that’s the reason all the local rats now glow in the dark… That’s the kind of thing a show like Stranger Things offers, and now that season four is finished and Vecna is safely sealed up in psychic-proof Tupperware and buried under Mount Rushmore…

How Star Trek: Nemesis Pulled off a Major Character Cameo

New DVD release
One of the highlights of the current era of Star Trek is the return of Kate Mulgrew to the role of Admiral Kathryn Janeway, who fans first met as the captain of the USS Voyager in the series of the same name. During Voyager‘s original run from 1995 to 2001, Janeway led the stranded Intrepid-class starship through a hostile Delta Quadrant full of Borg, and when she finally got her crew back home safe, the captain was promoted to vice admiral by Starfleet. Longtime Star Trek fans may remember that Admiral Janeway’s promotion was first revealed on the big screen,…

How One Scene Changed the Politics of Conquest of the Planet of the Apes

New DVD release
By 1972, 20th Century Fox was no longer dithering over each movie in the Planet of the Apes franchise. Following the success of 1970’s Beneath the Planet of the Apes, which the studio had been prepared to write off as a disaster, and 1971’s Escape from the Planet of the Apes, they had begun thinking about more than the current movie at hand. Thus the ending of the latter film expressly set up a fourth entry in the series: baby Milo, the offspring of the intelligent apes from the future, Cornelius (Rodney McDowall) and Zira (Kim Hunter), manages to survive…

Why Elvis Should Have Listened to B.B. King

New DVD release
“You don’t do the business, the business will do you,” B.B. King (Kelvin Harrison Jr.) tells the rising Elvis Presley (Austin Butler) in Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis. He says this after a late-night jam session which includes Little Richard (Alton Mason), and while the blues guitarist is admiring the shiny new ride owned by the white rock and roll sensation. King advises Elvis to start his own label. In reality, B.B. King did just that in 1956. At the time, he was coming off his best year, according to King of the Blues: The Rise and Reign of B.B. King, by…

As we head into the seventh month of 2022, it’s beginning to feel like the most familiar of holidays for those reading this in the U.S. The barbecue pits are grilling, the pools are filled with those swimming, and air conditioners are being turned up to full blast. Yep, the Fourth of July is almost here. For some—perhaps many—that feels less celebratory this year than in Julys past. But whether you’ve got the patriotic fever or not, there’s plenty to do this July, and well beyond the holiday. Netflix, for one, has assembled a surprisingly robust list of old favorites…

HBO Max New Releases: July 2022

New DVD release
With its list of new releases for July 2022, HBO Max is stepping up its TV game. Not that any entity associated with “It’s Not TV, It’s HBO” would ever not bring the televised goods, but the small screen is of particular consequence this month. The middle of July is jam-packed with TV goodies like docuseries The Anarchists (July 10), rescued animated project Tuca & Bertie season 3 (July 11), and the latest Nathan Fielder creation The Rehearsal (July 15). The real heavy hitter arrives later on though. Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin premieres on July 28 and will introduce…

Amazon Prime Video New Releases: July 2022

New DVD release
Two is the magic number when it comes to Prime Video’s list of new releases for July 2022. While Amazon’s streamer is bringing many library titles to the mix this month, it has two original TV shows and two original movies of note. Prime Video kicks off the month with The Terminal List on July 1. Though everything about that name screams “MOVIE” to me for some reason, the Chris Pratt-starring action property is actually a series. Pratt will portray James Reece, a Navy SEAL who returns home after his team is ambushed on a covert mission only to discover…
