Spider-Man: No Way Home Team Reveal Tricky Daredevil Temptation

New DVD release
This article includes spoilers for Spider-Man: No Way Home. Spider-Man: No Way Home certainly had an issue with protecting its secrets before it was finally released last year. Behind the scenes images found their way online and were under immense scrutiny from excited visual detectives, and the highly anticipated trailer for the film first leaked on TikTok in a format that didn’t do the film any justice, spreading like wildfire to eager Marvel fans who had been waiting to see what was next for Peter Parker and friends in the MCU’s Phase 4. What turned out to be legit pictures…

Could Moonfall Really Happen?

New DVD release
With many of his past films, director Roland Emmerich has specialized in portraying the most extreme kinds of mass destruction events possible, whether it’s climate change on a colossal scale, the shifting of tectonic plates worldwide or a massive army of alien invaders filling the skies. In his new movie, Moonfall, Emmerich kind of combines all those threads (after a fashion) in a tale of what might happen if the Moon suddenly begins plunging toward Earth due to mysterious, possibly intelligent forces. Of course, one’s first reaction is to scoff: surely there is no chance of the Moon being untethered…

Death on the Nile Cast: Who’s in Kenneth Branagh’s Whodunit?

New DVD release
Kenneth Branagh’s Death on the Nile is finally upon us. It’s been nearly five years since the filmmaker’s first outing as Agatha Christie’s legendary detective Hercule Poirot ended with the super sleuth solving the Murder on the Orient Express and then accepting a case that would take him to Egypt. But due to Disney’s acquisition of 20th Century Fox and then the COVID-19 pandemic, we’ve waited what feels like lifetimes to see how that second case would look on-screen. Well, judging by the many trailers and new sun-kissed TV spots that have descended for Death on the Nile, it will…

The Enduring Legacy of The Mothman Prophecies

New DVD release
This feature contains spoilers for The Mothman Prophecies Twenty years ago, on Jan 25, 2002, The Mothman Prophecies opened in movie theaters. Starring Richard Gere and Laura Linney and directed by Mark Pellington, the movie was a critical and commercial nonstarter, but in recent years it has developed a cult following as a truly creepy psychological horror flick. Adapted from the book by John A. Keel, the film follows Gere’s reporter character John Klein, whose wife witnesses a flying moth-like creature with red eyes shortly before dying of a brain tumor. Two years later, he finds himself lost in Point…

Marvel’s Road to the Young Avengers in the MCU

New DVD release
This feature contains spoilers for the established MCU. The different phases of the Marvel Cinematic Universe seem to break up the existence of the Avengers as a group. Phase 1 was about building the Avengers into a team, culminating in them assembling and saving the world. Phase 2 was about the Avengers fortifying their world to the point that everyone seemed to be on the cusp of a happy ending…until Ultron happened. Phase 3 was about the repeated destruction of the Avengers, starting with political differences, then going to personal anger, being discarded by an alien threat they weren’t ready…

The Suicide Squad Characters Who Deserve HBO Max Spinoffs

New DVD release
Reports of the Suicide Squad’s demise appear to have been greatly exaggerated. Less than half a year after James Gunn’s gnarly The Suicide Squad reboot went largely overlooked at the box office in August, the first spinoff from that series, the John Cena-starring Peacemaker, is doing very well on HBO Max according to Gunn. And perhaps to prove his point, the eclectic filmmaker has revealed that he and HBO Max are considering doing another series connected to the Suicide Squad world. “We’re working on something else now, another TV show that’s connected to that universe,” Gunn told Deadline. “I can’t…

Spider-Man: No Way Home Oscars Prospects Dim After PGA Nominations

New DVD release
Marvel True Believers and proponents of blockbuster cinema took a hit Thursday morning with the announcements of the Producers Guild of America’s nominations for 2022. Generally considered the best bellwether in the whole awards season for what the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will nominate for Best Picture, the PGAs’ choices suggest that Spider-Man: No Way Home isn’t making it to the Oscars 2022 stage unless it’s for Best Visual Effects and other technical categories. Indeed, the highest grossing movie of 2021—and 2020 for that matter—failed to make the cut for the PGA Awards, which instead tended to…

Did the True Story Behind Scream Involve Demonic Possession?

New DVD release
The latest Scream installment successfully revived the black comedy slasher franchise, became a critical and commercial hit, and honored director Wes Craven’s legacy of the previous four films. But it also calls to mind the much darker inspiration behind screenwriter Kevin Williamson’s script: The Gainesville Ripper. In August 1990, Danny Rolling brutally murdered five college students in Gainesville, Florida — as well as three people in Shreveport, Louisiana in November 1989 — and was sentenced to death in 1994 before being executed in 2006. According to pop culture lore, Williamson was watching a television program about the murders while housesitting…

Superman & Lois Reveals The Thing in the Mines

New DVD release
This article contains Superman & Lois spoilers. Superman & Lois Season 2 Episode 3 When it really comes down to it…it was never gonna be Doomsday, was it? The whole mission statement of Superman & Lois has always been to do things a little bit sideways from what the fans expect. Superman mythology is so ingrained in pop culture consciousness that any setting, any tease of a comics story, any new character, is instantly going to give audiences the idea that they know what’s coming. And despite the absurdly dominant monocultural juggernaut that the Marvel Cinematic Universe has become, and…

Resident Alien Season 2: Alan Tudyk on His Human “Infection”

New DVD release
It is a safe assumption that anyone with even a casual awareness of popular culture knows an Alan Tudyk performance.  For science fiction fans, Tudyk may be Wash from Firefly, or K-2SO from Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. For fans of comic-book-based shows, he’s Joker and Clayface on Harley Quinn, or Mr. Nobody on Doom Patrol. Disney fans have their pick of comedic villains (from Wreck-It Ralph, or Frozen), and animal sidekicks (Moana, Raya and the Last Dragon, Encanto). From comedies (Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story, Tucker & Dale Vs. Evil, Death at a Funeral) to drama (42, Trumbo)…

Final Fantasy Origin: Why Frank Sinatra’s My Way Is a Perfect Final Fantasy Song

New DVD release
While there’s so much to say about the latest trailer for Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy, it’s hardly a surprise that the part of the preview that’s catching everyone’s attention is its use of Frank Sinatra’s “My Way:” a seemingly strange needle drop that is actually oddly fitting. If you haven’t seen the new trailer, I highly recommend you set aside about five minutes of your day to give it a look. It’s even crazier than the game’s absolutely wild debut trailer: As noted above, the trailer’s most bizarre moment occurs around the 2:45 mark when the otherwise fairly standard…

Link Tank: When Marvel’s Secret Invasion Could Be Set on the MCU Timeline

New DVD release
Set photos from Marvel’s Secret Invasion might hint at where the show takes place on the MCU timeline, and it’s not what you’d think. “It’s been a minute since anyone saw Nick Fury. Last seen in the credits of Spider-Man: Far From Home almost three years ago, Samuel L. Jackson’s mysterious ex-S.H.I.E.L.D. director will soon star in Secret Invasion, a new Marvel television series coming to Disney+ in 2022.” Read more at Inverse Over half the United States has One Piece as their most frequently searched anime program.

Game of Thrones Star Thinks New Prequel Isn’t Risky Enough

New DVD release
There was a time when a high fantasy series about dragons and zombies seemed like a risky proposition. It’s hard for many in the industry to remember that though in the wake of Game of Thrones’ enormous success during the 2010s as a cultural phenomenon—and The Walking Dead too. But star Peter Dinklage recalls those early days, as he sees the television industry desperately competing to copy Game of Thrones’ success, including HBO which is about to premiere a prequel series set in Westeros later this year: House of the Dragon. In a sit-down interview earlier this week on Marc…

The Last of Us HBO Series Set Photos Hint at Left Behind Flashback Scene

New DVD release
The latest leaked photos and videos from the set of HBO’s The Last of Us suggest that the series will prominently feature the fascinating story presented in the game’s highly acclaimed DLC expansion, Left Behind. For those who don’t know, 2014’s The Last of Us: Left Behind is the franchise’s only narrative DLC expansion (at least so far). Most of the expansion is actually an extended flashback sequence that follows Ellie and her friend Riley as they explore an abandoned mall. As you might have already guessed given the tragic nature of the rest of the games, their adventure is…

Archive 81 Explained: Kaelego, Otherworld, Baldung Witches, and More

New DVD release
This article contains spoilers for Archive 81. Like all great horror stories, Netflix’s Archive 81 starts off small.  Film conservator Dan Turner (Mamoudou Athie) is approached by a mysterious corporate benefactor, Virgil Davenport (Martin Donovan) to restore some tapes from the ‘90s. Somehow this simple job escalates into a pulse-pounding supernatural mystery that incorporates a Roaring Twenties era demonic cult, mold that bends time and space, and an honest-to-goodness Lovecraftian horror. It’s easy to see why Archive 81 has caught on with viewers. The show spent several days in the number one spot on Netflix’s “Top Ten” feature before Ozark…

Snowpiercer Season 3 Episode 1 Review: The Tortoise and the Hare

New DVD release
This Snowpiercer review contains spoilers. Snowpiercer Season 3 Episode 1 One of the strongest features of Snowpiercer is the show’s ability to figure out ways to create claustrophobia. Granted, that’s easy on a train; it’s not exactly the sort of environment in which you can spread out and social distance from your neighbors. On the last train, however, that situation is even more dire, especially if you’re in third class or stuck in the tail. The people on board Snowpiercer toil away elbow to elbow with their fellows, making clothes, breaking up ice, cooking and growing food, even entertaining in…

The Gilded Age Episodes 1 & 2 Review: Never the New

New DVD release
This The Gilded Age review contains spoilers for “Never the New, Part 1” and “Never the New, Part 2.” The Gilded Age‘s two-part premiere episode is 90 minutes of epic period drama world-building. In the new HBO series, creator Julian Fellowes melds many of the storytelling tropes and elements that made Downton Abbey a worldwide hit with a less explored decade in American history into a story that delivers on the social drama and historical recreation. Let’s talk about “Never the New, Parts 1 & 2.” The Gilded Age Setting The Gilded Age‘s setting is 1882 New York City, a…

Pokémon Timeline: Every Major Game in Chronological Order

New DVD release
Pokémon Legends: Arceus is a game of many firsts for the Pokémon franchise. The game is the first entry in the series to provide an open world, Breath of the Wild-like experience (even though it isn’t technically a full open world game), and, most importalty for our purposes today, Arceus is supposed to be the first chronological entry in the series. In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, players wander the verdant land of Hisui, before it became Sinnoh and before Pokémon were ingrained into the culture.  The Pokedex doesn’t exist yet; the villainous Team Galactic is known as the altruistic Galaxy Expedition…

Mel Brooks Recalls Alfred Hitchcock’s Unique Review of High Anxiety

New DVD release
Mel Brooks has made a career out of poking fun at other filmmakers and the conventions they deploy. This sweet and largely underutilized form of parody was often done with love and affection, but it could still leave a mark. Just ask some Western fans about Blazing Saddles (1974) or George Lucas about Spaceballs (1987), the latter of which he gave his blessing to but insisted that Brook never merchandise or use to compete with the Star Wars toy line. Yet for all of Brooks’ frivolity, there was only one time he was desperate to get the approval of his…
