Why Arcane Was Surprisingly Good

If you haven’t already checked out Arcane on Netflix, you really need to put it high on your to do list. Yes, it’s based on the world and characters of League of Legends, one of the planet’s most popular battle arena games, but that’s almost irrelevant. Somehow this animated series manages to be amazing in its own right, pleasing both players and those who know nothing of Jinx, Vi, Jayce, or any other champion from the game. How on Earth did Riot Games manage it? On paper, it seems like films or TV shows based on certain video games should…

Dexter: New Blood Episode 10 Review – Sins of the Father

This Dexter: New Blood review contains spoilers. Dexter: New Blood Episode 10 “Open your eyes and look at what you’ve done!” When it was announced that Showtime would be reviving Dexter after almost a decade, I was more than dubious. One of the first prestige dramas that I truly loved, I jumped at the chance to review the series when I started writing for Den of Geek in 2012. Unfortunately, the seasons that I covered could be described as disappointing at best. The show was responsible for many sins. Between clearly telegraphed twists, interesting threads stopped dead in their tracks…

How Yellowjackets Became TV’s Buzziest New Drama

On paper, a story about a team of high school girls soccer players stranded in the wilderness after a plane crash feels like a CW Network fever dream (or a nightmare depending on how you feel about CW dramas). In actuality, Showtime’s Yellowjackets has turned out to be one of television’s most surprising and underrated new series, a fascinating mix of the best aspects of Lord of the Flies and Losttopped off with a banging 1990s soundtrack, a consistent sense of crushing dread, and a hint of cannibalism. Utterly fearless in almost every way, it’s honestly one of the best…

Attack on Titan Season 4 Episode 17 Review: Judgment

This Attack on Titan review contains spoilers. Attack on Titan Season 4 Episode 17 “We just have to keep moving forward, right Eren?” One of the first images from “Judgment,” the premiere entry from Attack on Titan: Final Season, Part 2, is a naked and bewildered Zeke who emerges from the husk of a Titan’s corpse, as if he’s been reborn anew. Attack on Titan has always been interested in how death is necessary for rebirth, but it’s become a suffocating mantra during the series’ final season.  More casualties have been experienced than ever before as characters become increasingly willing…

Doctor Who: Ranking the Doctor’s Regenerations

Regeneration stories are a tricky one in that they aren’t entirely consistent. The first time the process was even called regeneration was eleven years into the show’s first run. That story, ‘Planet of the Spiders’, felt like a summing up of the Pertwee era, a celebration of what had made it work and an indication that it was time to move on. This feeling crops up several times across the show’s history. Sometimes there’s a suggestion of the show addressing its own flaws, other times there’s just a bunch of strange decisions being made in the midst of chaotic productions.…

Oscars 2022: Frontrunners and Contenders

For the first time in what feels like ages, there’s some excitement to Oscar season. To be fair, “excitement” might be a relative word when most of the biggest Oscar contenders in 2022 are, again, movies that didn’t set the box office on fire. Nevertheless, after COVID and a painfully quiet Oscars where the Best Picture winner last year didn’t even gross $4 million in the States, a new awards season with general crowdpleasers in the running like Dune and West Side Story (for those who saw it) is an arguable breath of fresh air. Heck, some Oscar voters are…

15 Hardest NES Boss Fights

We’ve had a lot of fun in recent months looking at the history of some of the hardest games ever made, but it’s hard to talk about the most difficult games of all time without giving a little love to the boss fights that often make them as challenging as they are. So far as that goes, there are few consoles in gaming history that can match the NES’ legendary lineup of difficult bosses that taught many of us the simple facts about the cruelty of life. Many of the best bosses of the NES era were screen-sized monstrosities that…

Power Rangers: Ranking All 28 Seasons

Power Rangers is a legacy, joining a very small list of shows that run for such a long period of time, over 28 years! Throughout that time, the series has had its ups, its downs, and its mehs. I’ve been watching since the ripe age of 2 and have always loved the series, even in some of its more questionable moments. But where does each season rank? With so many entries which ones stand as the best of the best of the best or which one and is a super mega dud? After a rewatch of all the seasons I ranked…

Superman & The Authority: The Case for a More Compassionate Man of Steel

This article contains spoilers for Superman & The Authority. The Man of Steel of Superman & The Authority looks a little different than you might be used to. Graying at the temples, a hint of smile lines around his eyes, and a capeless outfit that looks equally ready for some serious work in a laboratory or a super-powered street fight. It’s an older, wiser, Superman, sporting a look befitting a man with a teenage son and years of experience under his belt, and he brings all the patience and wisdom that you’d expect him to have as he reaches superheroic…

A series of events involving Ghost of Tsushima and Days Gone‘s reported sales figures has triggered a debate that has divided some members of the PlayStation community and has left many others simply rolling their eyes. This whole story is more than a little strange, but it basically started when Sucker Punch Productions confirmed that 2020’s Ghost of Tsushima recently crossed the 8 million units sold mark. We're thrilled and amazed that #GhostOfTsushima has officially sold more than 8 million copies!Thank you so much to everyone who has played since launch!

The Boys Season 3: Herogasm Will Be The TV Event of the Summer

It’s never a slow news day at the Vought News Network. Today, Amazon Prime Video unleashed a Biblical torrent of tidbits surrounding the release of The Boys season 3, including a date for the season premiere, and for the long-awaited “Herogasm” installment of the series adapted from Garth Ennis’s comics. For starters, The Boys season 3 will premiere its first three episodes on Friday, June 3 (this writer’s mother’s birthday. Happy birthday, ma!). To celebrate the release date (and presumably my mom’s birthday), Prime Video unveiled an intense little teaser featuring everyone’s favorite superpowered psychopath, Homelander. Payback's coming June 3rd,…

Mass Effect Legendary Edition: Every Class Ranked Worst to Best

While picking a class isn’t the most daunting decision you’ll make in the Legendary Edition of the Mass Effect trilogy, new and returning players may initially struggle to choose a character class for their custom Shepard out of fear that they’ll somehow miss out on some crucial aspect of the game or make things harder for themselves by choosing a bad class. Well, there are numerous ways that your choice of class will ultimately impact your playthrough, but the good news is that there aren’t really any “bad” classes in Mass Effect. The best class is still the one that…

The Big Unanswered Questions of Star Trek: Discovery Season 4

This Star Trek: Discovery Season 4 article contains MAJOR spoilers through Episode 7. The biggest question facing Captain Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green) for the latter half of Star Trek: Discovery Season 4 is clearly whether or not she’ll end up being a good cat-sitter for Book’s cat Grudge. Seriously, that cat hates her! Remember when Spot scratched Riker in “Timescape” and then time was frozen? Nobody wants a repeat of that! All kidding aside, in addition to Book leaving his cat Maine Coon Cat, Grudge, in Michael’s care, DISCO’s resident space badass has also skipped out on the crew, stolen an…

Link Tank: WarnerMedia is Shopping The CW

The CW, home of shows like Riverdale, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, and more, has been put up for sale by its parent company. “When we think of The CW these days, it’s usually in terms of capes and tights—not surprising, given how much of the network’s schedule is filled with the various superhero shows produced by Greg Berlanti and his wide array of collaborators and co-producers. But now we’ll have to start thinking of it with a different descriptor: ‘For sale.'” Read more at The A.V. Club The Tusken Raiders have been featured heavily in both The Mandalorian and now in…

A Discovery of Witches Season 3 Episode 1 Review: A De Clermont Family Reunion

Warning: this A Discovery of Witches review contains spoilers. They may be magical creatures ruled by mystical rites, but when it comes to family, the vampires, witches and daemons are no different from the rest of us. Gather the clan together under one roof and pretty soon it’s all rivalry, resentment and stalking out of dinner in a huff. One brother doesn’t like his new sister-in-law, the youngest wants the eldest to move with the times. ‘You’re breaking an ancient covenant’, ‘You didn’t tell me I carried a genetic disease that turned my vampire children into uncontrollably vicious monsters’…  All…

The Expanse Season 6 Episode 5 Review: Why We Fight

This review of The Expanse contains spoilers. The Expanse Season 6 Episode 5 No matter how explosive the coming finale might be, The Expanse season 6 will best be known as the most well written set of episodes where not much happened. There is no argument that “Why We Fight” is thematically very rich and filled with amazing dialogue, but aside from satisfying our need to have Drummer front and center for the final battle, this penultimate episode doesn’t scratch many itches. We can see that everything is coming to a head, but the journey towards whatever next week has…

Soylent Green Predicted 2022, Including Impossible Meat Substitutes

Why settle for tacos when Tuesday can be Soylent Green Day? Far more nutritious than Soylent Red or Yellow, the green stuff is made with a secret ingredient that makes it a real delicacy. Of course the line “Soylent Green is people” is now an insta-spoiler meme and trope. But when Charlton Heston first uttered that anguished warning, it might as well have been a supermarket can-can sale promotion. Store shops in the 1973 science fiction classic Soylent Green were so mobbed on Tuesdays that riots started every week in this dystopian vision of 2022. The historical montage which opens…

The Book of Boba Fett: The Surprising Marvel Connections

The Book of Boba Fett picks up the threads of the bounty hunter’s untold adventures in the years after Return of the Jedi, paving a new, unexpected path for the fan-favorite rogue. While most Star Wars fans expected the Mandalorian gunslinger to once again embrace a life of crime, no one could have predicted Boba’s big career change from bounty hunter to Tatooine’s newest crime lord. But this is actually a Boba Fett story decades in the making. After all, writers were already hard at work continuing the book of Boba just mere months after he took a tumble into…

The Righteous Gemstones Find GODD In Season 2

Midway through the first episode of The Righteous Gemstones season 2, the Gemstone family preaches to a packed congregation at their megachurch, as they often do. The tone, however, feels a little different this time around. “The Book of Matthew tells of nation rising against nation – a time of famines, pestilence, and earthquakes. Sound familiar?” patriarch Eli Gemstone (John Goodman) asks the crowd with a wink. “Are you saying people need Jesus’s love now more than ever?” prodigal son Kelvin (Adam DeVine) responds, emerging from the crowd in trademarked ripped jeans.  “Oh, we always need Jesus’s love, but especially…

The 355 Review: Botched Spy Movie Wastes All-Star Assets

It takes a special movie to bring together a cast like the one in The 355. This is an international, five-pointed star showcase of leading lady talent, with the female ensemble headed by Jessica Chastain, who is also a producer on the picture, and complemented by Lupita Nyong’o, Diane Kruger, Penélope Cruz, and Fan Bingbing. There are six Oscar nominations between these actors, and two wins. So, yes, it must’ve been a very special project to draw each performer to the same story. Somehow, though, that picture got lost in transit, and we got stuck with The 355 instead. As…
