The Most Punk Rock Spider-Man Finally Gets His Own Marvel Series

New DVD release

When Marvel brought us the Spider-Verse comic event several years ago, it was like a great reunion for all the different variations of Spider-Man we’ve seen through the years. Spider-Men from What If…?, Spider-Man from the Japanese TV show, Spider-Man from the year 2099, Spider-Man from the goofy newspaper comic strips, and so on. Among all the webslingers, there was one spikey-headed rebel who stood out as a fresh-faced hero of the multiverse. Hobart Brown of Earth-138 is Spider-Punk and coming this April, he’s finally going to be starring in his own book. Writer Cody Ziglar and artist Justin Mason…

The film, which will hit theaters in early May, promises to be one of Marvel’s most ambitious and trippiest projects to date.

This Star Wars: The Book of Boba Fett article contains spoilers. In “The Gathering Storm,” all the pieces fall into place. We now know how exactly Boba saved Fennec’s life and retrieved his ship. With his armor back after the events of The Mandalorian, he’s ready for the next step. That step? Getting Mos Espa’s crime families on board for an all-out war with the Pyke Syndicate.

Bobbie Draper has always been a fan favorite character in The Expanse, but in season six, the Martian marine saved the day several times both in the capture of the Azure Dragon and in the final assault on the ring station.

Star Wars: The Book of Boba Fett Episode 4 Review: The Gathering Storm

New DVD release

This STAR WARS: THE BOOK OF BOBA FETT review contains spoilers. The Book of Boba Fett Episode 4 Let’s talk about Fennec Shand. She’s a competent bounty hunter with a cool outfit and few, if any, moral scruples. Introduced as a legendary sniper in The Mandalorian, she also tangled with child hero Omega in The Bad Batch. But we still don’t know much about her. Not even the basics, like her home planet or a scrap of history outside her job, come up during this week’s dull, exposition-heavy episode of The Book of Boba Fett. “The Gathering Storm” sets out to explain…

Scream Skewers Toxic Star Wars Fans In New Movie

New DVD release

This article contains Scream spoilers. More than 25 years ago, Skeet Ulrich’s Billy Loomis and Matthew Lillard’s Stu Macher made a bloody big splash in Scream. After years of parents’ groups, politicians, and even teachers worrying about the effects of horror movies on the youth of America, here were two horror movie killers who played into the worst nightmare: They killed people in just the same way they saw Michael Myers do it on the big screen (or on the VHS from Blockbuster). And yet the characters, like director Wes Craven and screenwriter Kevin Williamson, rejected the premise that they…

Did New Blood Redeem Dexter?

New DVD release

This article contains spoilers for Dexter: New Blood. It was easy to be skeptical when Dexter: New Blood was first announced. The descent into ignominy of the original series is well documented by this point, with the Monty Python-evoking finale infamous even among those who never watched the show.  But a dud finale wasn’t Dexter’s only crime, nor the only reason a continuation was a dicey proposition. While the first four seasons remain respected for their dark humor, thorny moral questions, and devastating twists, the second half of the series did everything in its power to squander any goodwill. The…

Superman & Lois Hints at Multiple Villains and a Big Mystery

New DVD release

This article contains Superman & Lois spoilers. Superman & Lois Season 2 Episode 2 For a show that still manages to do a ton of small town, teen soap, and general family drama in every episode, Superman & Lois still somehow manages to squeeze about two hours worth of Man of Steel lore and DC Comics deep cuts into its one hour timeslot each week. To be clear, this show has been on such a roll that it’s currently doing everything right, with Sarah Cushing’s revelation that she kissed someone while off at summer camp being treated with approximately the…

Every Harlan Coben TV Thriller Ranked

New DVD release

The immediate flaw in any attempt to stack the nine extant Harlan Coben TV thrillers in order of greatness is that none of them are exactly great. Nearly all of them though, are compulsive viewing and will pull you through a bucking and twisting story at the speed of a beagle on the scent of a nearby sausage. They’re packed with incident and revelations, and are generally performed by a charismatic cast so big that you’ll never quite meet them all, let alone tire of their company. Binge-watches par excellence, each one of these series is precision-designed to be gulped…

Scream Ending Explained

New DVD release

This article contains SCREAM spoilers. Although it’s dropped the number from its title, don’t let the new Scream fool you: this is Scream 5 through and through, set 10 years after the last film and featuring plenty of the legacy characters you’d expect to see. Directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett–taking over for the late, dearly missed Wes Craven–previously hinted that this one will subvert the franchise even more than usual. And it does. For a few minutes. Unlike all four previous entries, the victim in the opening scene doesn’t die after being attacked by a brand new Ghostface. Instead…

New DVD release

This Yellowjackets article contains spoilers. The Yellowjackets finale may have left us with a million questions, but at least we know there’s another season full of answers on its way. Showtime has officially renewed Yellowjackets for season 2. It should come as no surprise considering the critical acclaim and social buzz the show has received since it premiered last November. “Yellowjackets has been an unadulterated sensation for Showtime,” said Showtime entertainment president Gary Levine in a statement. “We are overwhelmed by both the acclaim and the audience response to our series, including several ‘Best of 2021’ lists, a 100 percent…

Activision Blizzard is currently under investigation following accusations of harassment, discrimination, and fostering a hostile work environment. You can read more about the investigation here. It’s hardly a surprise that Microsoft’s stunning acquisition of Activision Blizzard (a deal once considered to be a pipe dream or a fascinating hypothetical talking point) has everyone talking at the moment, but the quantity and quality of the internet’s reactions to this news really do tell the tale.

Money Heist: Why is Netflix Remaking the Heist Series in Korea?

New DVD release

Netflix just dropped a teaser for Money Heist: Korea – Joint Economic Area, a remake of massively popular Spanish heist series Money Heist (or La Casa de Papel), which wrapped up its third and final season last year on the streamer. While the Korean remake will follow roughly the same storyline and characters as the original (it is a remake, after all), there will be changes that inherently come with the different setting and language, as the. Honestly, just the fact that Season 1 of Money Heist: Korea will be 12 episodes, versus the original’s 15-episode first season (broken out…

Will Call of Duty and Warzone Become Xbox Exclusives?

Activision Blizzard is currently under investigation following accusations of harassment, discrimination, and fostering a hostile work environment. You can read more about the investigation here. Microsoft recently rocked the internet when the CEO of Microsoft Gaming, Phil Spencer, announced that the company will acquire Activision Blizzard for an estimated $68.7 billion. While this news might seem like a boon for Activision (given its recent lawsuits and protests) some gamers are concerned Microsoft will no longer release Activision Blizzard titles on non-Xbox platforms and could even turn Call of Duty and Warzone into two of the company’s biggest future exclusives. While…

Activision Blizzard is currently under investigation following accusations of harassment, discrimination, and fostering a hostile work environment. You can read more about the investigation here. While there are a million things to say about the stunning announcement that Microsoft has acquired Activision Blizzard in a deal reportedly worth $68.7 billion (and we’ll certainly work to say as much about this deal as possible), one of the biggest questions on the minds of gamers everywhere at the moment is simply “What games and properties did Microsoft just acquire from Activision Blizzard?” The full answer to that question is…complicated.

Link Tank: A Restrospective on WandaVision a Year Later

New DVD release

Remember when the finale of WandaVision brought you to tears? Well, it doesn’t look quite as good without all the special effects. “It’s been just over a year since WandaVision first hit Disney+, so while we wait for the Scarlet Witch to return in Doctor Strange In the Multiverse of Madness to grapple with the whole ‘so I was understandably quite sad and magically took it out on a small town/a witch passing by/the synthetic corpse of my android lover’ deal, in the meantime, ILM has given us a great chance to look back and see the series’ emotional finale come together.” Read more at Gizmodo…

It’s Moon Knight, but not quite as we know him! Fans of the Marvel Comics version of MK have been intrigued to discover this week that in the cult superhero’s upcoming Disney+ series, the story will initially center on one of the character’s alternate identities, Steven Grant, when the show arrives this March. In the first official trailer for Moon Knight, Steven (Oscar Isaac) is not the millionaire playboy of the comics, but a humble and bafflingly British gift shop employee who has a “sleeping disorder” and might get up to some unwelcome night time activities unless ties himself to…

How Arcane Should Introduce Its Other League of Legends Champions

New DVD release

Half of Arcane’s audience couldn’t care less about seeing more established characters from League of Legends enter the story in season 2. They’ve never played the game and are content to follow Vi, Jinx, and others they’ve already met, and characters like Viktor and Ekko still have plenty of origin story left to tell. But it’s inevitable that Riot Games will want to introduce new champions and that players will want to see them, and how they are integrated into the existing narrative will be a crucial factor in the show’s continued success among both gamers and non-gamers alike. The…

Link Tank: Nickelodeon’s NFL Playoff Coverage Is The Real Winner

New DVD release

Nickelodeon broadcasted an NFL playoff game for the second year in a row and it was a viral hit with kids and football fans alike. We interviewed the game’s broadcasters for a behind-the-scenes look! This year’s slime-filled, kid-focused event took place on Sunday at AT&T Stadium as the Dallas Cowboys took on the San Francisco 49ers. Things didn’t go the Cowboys way, and despite their best efforts for a late game comeback, they fell to the 49ers, 23-17, but regardless of the score, the broadcast could not have been more exciting and several key moments went viral. Due to the…
