Why Don’t Look Up Fails to Match Its Dr. Strangelove Idol

New DVD release
This article contains Don’t Look Up spoilers. Is this really happening? That is the anxious, painfully relatable plea Leonardo DiCaprio’s Dr. Randall Mindy cries repeatedly during the pre-title sequence of Don’t Look Up. Over the extended prologue of the new Adam McKay and Netflix phenomenon, Mindy and his best student, PhD candidate Kate Dibiasky (Jennifer Lawrence), have discovered that a comet is a) going to collide with earth in six months; b) that it will trigger an extinction level event; and c) it’s forced them to inform the President of the United States that all life on Earth is about…

Star Trek: Prodigy Just Went All In On Franchise Easter Eggs

New DVD release
This Star Trek: Prodigy article contains spoilers through Episode 6. For its first five episodes, Star Trek: Prodigy has mostly established its own identity, free and separate from the rest of the Trek franchise. Yes, a holographic Captain Janeway is an essential part of the crew, and yes, several episodes have touched on themes we’ve seen before. But, in terms of making nitty-gritty references to the larger canon of Trek, Prodigy has kept things pretty low-key. Until now… After taking a brief hiatus, Prodigy Season 1 is back with episode 6 titled just  “Kobayashi.” In it, Dal (Brett Gray) takes…

Mass Effect 3: Happy Ending Mod Story Explained

New DVD release
The debate over Mass Effect 3‘s ending (every version of it) isn’t going to be settled anytime soon, but it certainly seems telling that more and more people over the years have started to treat the game’s “Happy Ending” mod as the RPG trilogy’s spiritual conclusion (even if it’s clearly not the canonical one). Audemus’ Happy Ending Mod has been floating around the internet for a few years now, but the mod’s recent Mass Effect Legendary Edition update has many people buzzing about this alternate ending that, as the name suggests, aspires to offer a slightly happier and generally more…

Link Tank: Why The Prestige is Christopher Nolan’s Most Underrated Movie

New DVD release
You’ve probably seen the likes of Inception, Interstellar, and The Dark Knight trilogy from famed director Christopher Nolan, but you should consider watching his underappreciated 2006 film The Prestige. “For two hours you’re transported to different times and places in a matter of seconds. Decades of advancing technology have improved what we can do with filmmaking to the point where the magic tricks of today would look like science fiction to the directors of yesteryear. But sci-fi looks to the future. What will the coming decades of technological breakthroughs look like? How will humanity relate to new technology? And how…

The Tourist: Jamie Dornan’s Best Screen Roles

New DVD release
In most cases, an actor being cast as a character without a name doesn’t signal great things for the career. Nobody’s queuing up for an autograph from ‘woman in lift’ or ‘angry hot dog customer 2’. Jamie Dornan’s lead role in BBC crime thriller The Tourist bucks that trend. In the six-part series, Dornan plays “The Man”, a nameless (at least to begin with) Irishman who loses his memory when his car is forced off the road in the Australian desert. With barely a clue to go on, he has to find out who he is, what’s he doing there,…

The Wheel of Time Season 2: What To Expect

New DVD release
This article contains spoilers for The Wheel of Time. Although the first season of The Wheel of Time departed in many ways from The Eye of the World, the Robert Jordan novel upon which it is based, the elements it included and left out give us some clues as to where the series might be headed in its already renewed second season. Despite proving that its willing to change the plot quite drastically, spoiler-free guesses can be made about what might show up from the books given the way showrunner Rafe Judkins and his writers have made their decisions so…

New DVD release
This Star Wars: The Book of Boba Fett article contains spoilers. In the flashback portion of The Book of Boba Fett episode 2, “The Tribes of Tatooine,” Boba Fett is on the hunt for something that can help the Tusken Raiders take down the Pyke Syndicate’s hovertrain, but it isn’t power converters.

Is Ubisoft+ Coming to Xbox Game Pass and PS5?

New DVD release
Ubisoft’s recent decision to bring Ubisoft+ to Xbox and Rainbow Six Extraction to Game Pass as a day one title has created a lot of (understandable) confusion about whether or not Ubisoft+ is also coming to Game Pass and PS5 in the near future. Let’s start with what we know for sure. As noted above, Xbox and Ubisoft recently confirmed that Rainbow Six Extraction will be available via Xbox Game Pass when the PvE co-op shooter is released on January 20. Furthermore, Ubisoft has confirmed that Rainbow Six Siege will also be available via PC Game Pass and Xbox Game…

In the second episode of The Book of Boba Fett, the bounty hunter turned crime lord digs further into Mos Espa’s underworld and learns from the Tusken desert-dwellers. Along with the Tusken culture we detailed last week, there are quite a few Star Wars deep cuts to see in “The Tribes of Tatooine.” Take a look at all the Star Wars easter eggs and references we spotted in this episode… Black…

PSVR 2’s Best New Features Explained

New DVD release
Sony has finally revealed the PSVR 2, and while we don’t yet know the PS5 exclusive VR headset’s price or release date, everything we do know about the device’s best new features suggests that it’s going to be a worthy and fascinating follow-up to the surprisingly successful PSVR. Of course, things can get very confusing very quickly whenever you start talking about a VR headsets’ specs and features. While the rise in VR technology in recent years has enhanced our collective understanding of the concept, it’s still difficult to tell exactly what a new headset will offer or how it…

Star Wars: The Book of Boba Fett Villains Explained

New DVD release
This article contains spoilers for The Book of Boba Fett. No one said becoming a crime lord on Tatooine would be easy. Yet, Boba Fett thought it would be as simple as killing Bib Fortuna and taking a seat on Jabba the Hutt’s old throne. But as The Book of Boba Fett shows, that road is in fact a very bumpy one. The new daimyo of Mos Espa expected all of Jabba’s former subordinates to bow down and pay tribute. Not everyone is so easily swayed. In “The Tribes of Tatooine,” Boba and Fennec Shand face quite a bit of…

Link Tank: Valkyrie Gets a Comic-Accurate Suit in Thor: Love and Thunder

New DVD release
As seems to be a tradition in phase 4 of the MCU up to this point, another character is getting a comic-accurate suit, and this time it’s Valkyrie in Thor: Love and Thunder. “Valkyrie is charging back into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and she’s returning with a new look. Not only is she sporting a new outfit, but the color scheme is a nod to how Valkyrie originally appeared in the Marvel Universe.” Read more at Inverse Game of Thrones author George R.R. Martin has high praise for the upcoming prequel series that is set to debut later in 2022.…

Star Wars: The Book of Boba Fett Episode 2 Review: The Tribes of Tatooine

New DVD release
This STAR WARS: THE BOOK OF BOBA FETT review contains spoilers. The Book of Boba Fett Episode 2 How long will The Book of Boba Fett keep up the flashbacks? Probably a while, judging by the slow progression of the plot in both stories this week. “The Tribes of Tatooine,” which was directed by Steph Green and written by Jon Favreau, has a double meaning. There’s the bureaucracy and assassins Boba and Fennec face in Mos Espa as the new big crime lords in town, and then there are the Tusken Raiders who helped Boba survive in the desert in the days…

Yellowstone Season 5 Release Date, Cast, Plot, and News

New DVD release
Another year of pure Yellowstone TV dominance has come and gone. Fans can quibble with whether Yellowstone season 4 and its all out war saga was creativity successful or not, but what cannot be denied is the awesome ratings power of this Taylor Sheridan-created Paramount Network series. In its fourth season, Yellowstone was once again one of TV’s most-watched properties, with a premiere that drew 10.5 million viewers and a finale that took in almost the exact same amount. Paramount Network has not officially confirmed Yellowstone season 5 just yet but with numbers like that, another go-around in the Dutton…

Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050: Release Date, Price, Restock Alerts, and Where to Buy

New DVD release
Nvidia has announced that the desktop version of their RTX 3050 “entry-level” GPU will be released on January 27 for $249, which has prompted PC gamers everywhere to start finding ways to beat the scalpers and actually buy one of these new GPUs at the retail price before they hit the second hand markets. To be entirely honest, everything in the recent history of video game-related technology suggests that it’s going to be very difficult to secure an RTX 3050 at launch or at any point in the near future. Between the rise in bot accounts designed to circumvent preventive…

Michael Keaton Clashed with Joel Schumacher Over Batman’s Darkness

New DVD release
The influence of Michael Keaton’s starring role in director Tim Burton’s 1989 big screen bonanza, Batman, remains powerful. It was not only a prime example of an unconventional casting choice that proved pontificators wrong, but was a bellwether moment for movies that—for better or worse—planted the seeds from which the modern, industry-dominating comic book genre sprouted. However, he famously called it quits after 1992 sequel Batman Returns over the direction of incoming threequel helmer Joel Schumacher. Now, as a Batman role reprisal glistens on the horizon for this year’s The Flash, Keaton describes the extent of the disagreements with Schumacher…

Don’t Look Up Ending Explained

New DVD release
This article contains spoilers for DON’T LOOK UP. In the new Netflix hit movie, Don’t Look Up, written and directed by satirical filmmaker Adam McKay (The Big Short, Anchorman), two rather low-level astronomers (Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence) discover a comet is headed directly toward Earth, with the object set to smash into our little planet in six months. When it does, it will completely obliterate all life. The pair of scientists, Dr. Mindy (DiCaprio) and PhD candidate Dibiasky (Lawrence), bring their findings to the White House where they are met with indifference from the narcissistic, idiotic President Janie Orlean…

Search Party Season 5 Concludes a Modern Comedy Classic

New DVD release
This Search Party review contains no spoilers. Search Party is an unconventional series that’s followed a unique path from the start, but its fifth and final season is honestly one of the craziest things I’ve ever seen done by a comedy series.  Search Party season 5 is a delirious experiment that’s as if Alejandro Jodorowsky, Charlie Brooker, and Stephen King decided to create a sitcom together, which makes it even harder to believe that this show began as a comedy on TBS about a girl’s journey to find a missing person. Now Alia Shawkat’s Dory Seif wants to find something…
