The Matrix Resurrections: Tom Hardy’s Potential Surprise Cameo Revealed

New DVD release
There’s already so much to look forward to in regards to The Matrix Resurrections, our first Matrix movie in almost two decades, and that’s without taking a potential Tom Hardy cameo into account. Venom 2 was filming in San Francisco at the same time as The Matrix Resurrections, with helicopters from Matrix production even making it into the background of the final Venom 2 edit, but what about the reverse? Will we see any hints of Venom 2 production in The Matrix Resurrections? Actually, we may even see Eddie Brock himself… Well, not the character of Venom, but the actor…

The Expanse Season 6 Episode 1 Review: Strange Dogs

New DVD release
This review of The Expanse contains spoilers. The Expanse Season 6 Episode 1 Fans of The Expanse don’t want their show to end, and although they only had to wait eight months between seasons 5 and 6, everyone wants each of these last six episodes to be as full and satisfying as possible. In that sense, “Strange Dogs” was both triumphant in signaling the show’s return and disappointing in merely setting up the action to come. Although the premiere was a necessary introduction to the continuing story, a desire for more created a paradoxical urge to get to the next…

Why Netflix’s Cowboy Bebop Was Canceled

New DVD release
The live-action remake of beloved anime Cowboy Bebop had all the makings of a Big Deal ™ for Netflix. In development since 2017, the show was intended to honor Sunrise animation’s 1998 sci-fi neo noir classic while hopefully introducing its world to a new generation of fans. Prior to the Cowboy Bebop’s release, Netflix even unveiled a trailer to depict how the show would closely mimic the anime’s kinetic style. Now it looks like all those high hopes were for naught. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Netflix has canceled Cowboy Bebop just a few weeks after its Nov. 19 premiere.…

Spider-Man: No Way Home – J. Jonah Jameson is ‘Absolutely the Same Guy’ From Raimi Trilogy

New DVD release
It was one of the most stunning Marvel mid-credits sequences in the entire history of the Marvel Cinematic Universe: at the end of 2019’s Spider-Man: Far from Home, a webcast frames Spider-Man (Tom Holland) as the villain behind a drone attack in London and the death of the reputed superhero Mysterio, while revealing Spidey’s true identity as Peter Parker to the world. The person behind this webcast? None other than J. Jonah Jameson — played by J.K. Simmons, the same actor who played Jameson in the three Spider-Man movies directed by Sam Raimi circa 2002-2007. Except for a change in…

Why Wonder Woman is Perfect for Shadow of Mordor’s Nemesis System

New DVD release
The Game Awards featured a number of incredible (and surprising) trailers, but the show may have been stolen by the announcement that Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor developer Monolith Productions is working on an open-world Wonder Woman game that will feature a version of the “Nemesis System” that the studio’s Lord of the Rings games are famous for. For those who don’t know, the Nemesis System is a unique mechanic that essentially relies on a military-like hierarchy of NPCs that can remember player actions. That system serves the plots of the Shadow games, but it’s best known for enhancing the thrill…

Does Spider-Man Have Room in the MCU for Harry Osborn?

New DVD release
Spider-Man: No Way Home may already have its handprint set in Marvel Cinematic Universe cement in a yet-to-be-revealed manner, but speculation about the Wall-Crawler’s future films is already rampant, with plans for a new trilogy recently confirmed. Thus, as star Tom Holland touts the film as “the end of an era,” fans are fixating on the idea of Peter Parker’s famous pal, Harry Osborn, making an MCU debut. Intriguingly, Holland and co-stars Zendaya and Jacob Batalon are backing the idea of Timothée Chalamet for the coveted role. As the main trio of the Sony Pictures-produced Spider-Man MCU films collectively known…

The Wheel of Time: The Secrets of Moiraine and Siuan

New DVD release
This article contains The Wheel of Time spoilers. The Wheel of Time has plenty to enjoy for those who haven’t read the Robert Jordan novels upon which the show is based, but there has been no shortage of frustration on the part of “book purists” who are dissatisfied with some of the changes made by the television adaptation. Complaints of women being among the Dragon Reborn candidates, for example, may have primed more defensive viewers to question the latest narrative revision: the portrayal of Moiraine and Siuan as lovers. But before the claims of “woke nonsense” come rolling in, hold…

Byker Grove’s Bonkers Finale: ‘We Went Out Kicking and Screaming’

New DVD release
What do you do when the plug is pulled permanently on your TV show, with just a handful of episodes to go? How do you wrap up over a decade of storylines and characters in twenty-five minutes? How do you mark the end of an era? That was the dilemma facing the makers of Byker Grove, the occasionally-gritty teen drama about a Tyneside youth club when it was finally axed in 2006. The show had been a tea-time institution, running on BBC One every autumn since 1989 (launching the careers of Ant and Dec, Jill Halfpenny and Donna Air along…

The Secrets of DC’s New Batman Era

New DVD release
This article contains spoilers for Batman #118. There’s no bigger single title in the DC Comics library right now than the core Batman book. Consistently the book where the future of the Dark Knight is made each month, it’s also been the DC title with perhaps the longest unbroken run of the highest-possible-octane creative teams in superhero comics over the last 15 years. Since 2006, Batman has been written by Grant Morrison, Scott Snyder, Tom King, and James Tynion IV, each bringing their own flavor to the book over extended, sprawling runs. The latest writer to hit the bat-jackpot is…

The James Cameron Spider-Man Movie We Never Saw

New DVD release
James Cameron’s Spider-Man. Kind of has a nice ring to it, don’t you think? Well, unlike the fictional James Cameron’s Aquaman–of which only a few fleeting seconds exist in the universe of the long-defunct HBO series Entourage–a Spider-Man movie written and directed by the legendary filmmaker almost came to pass in the early 1990s. But like so many superhero and comics-based projects during that time–a relative Dark Ages for the genre–Cameron’s vision for the webslinging high school student never swung into theaters. Almost all of it was down to legal issues surrounding the rights to Spider-Man, which kept him off…

New Spider-Man: No Way Home Clip Links to Marvel’s Hawkeye

New DVD release
This article contains some speculation, and therefore potential spoilers for HAWKEYE, SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME, and the wider MCU. A fresh clip from Sony and Marvel Studios’ hotly anticipated Spider-Man: No Way Home makes reference to the Hawkeye TV series currently streaming on Disney+, indicating that the two projects are likely set concurrently in the MCU timeline. The new No Way Home clip premiered on Late Night with Seth Meyers this week and features the opening minute of the Peter Parker and Doctor Strange team-up threequel, which starts exactly where Marvel’s previous web-crawler outing, Spider-Man: Far From Home, left off.

Morbius: Inside the Next Sony’s Spider-Man Universe Movie

New DVD release
“If you’re going to run, do it now…” In the depths of a South American rainforest, an unusually frail-looking Jared Leto stands at the towering mouth of a sinister-looking cave, propped up by two walking sticks, his long, stringy hair draped over a green overcoat that swallows his frame. A small group of mercenaries look on nervously, edging back towards the helicopter behind them. He takes a large knife and draws it across his palm, before holding his hand up towards the hi-tech cage positioned in front of him. Something is stirring from within the darkness. But there’s a problem… …

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 – Trailer Breakdown and Easter Eggs Analysis

New DVD release
No movie has had a comeback story tied to its trailer like Sonic the Hedgehog. The original film’s first trailer was met with widespread scorn thanks to the nightmare inducing design for Sonic and the bizarre music choice of “Gangsta’s Paradise.” This reaction was so strong that Sonic’s design was completely overhauled and when the second trailer dropped the critical reaction made a 180. The film itself went on to be a box office hit and well beloved by longtime fans of the franchise. Now we’ve finally got our first trailer for Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and they’ve clearly learned from…

Cobra Kai Season 4 Trailer Touts Tricky Tournament Warfare

New DVD release
Cobra Kai is about to assume fighting positions for a fourth season, which will thrust the San Fernando Valley into more martial arts mayhem than it can handle. If that idea wasn’t already clear enough from the enticing All Valley Tournament challenge teased at the end of the previous season, then the release of the long-awaited first proper trailer for Season 4 should provide sufficient evidence. Yet, based on what we’re seeing, punches and kicks will be complemented in said challenge by the trickier weapons of subterfuge and psychology. While the immediate focus of the Cobra Kai Season 4 trailer…

Halo Infinite: The Harbinger’s Origins Explained

New DVD release
This article contains spoilers for Halo Infinite. While Halo Infinite sets up quite a few mysteries that clearly won’t be solved until developer 343 releases an inevitable sequel, few of the game’s mysteries are as prominent or compelling as the origins of the Harbinger.  The Harbinger is treated as one of Halo Infinite’s primary antagonists (they even serve as the game’s final boss), but there’s this lingering feeling that they’re so much more than another villain. The problem is that the game doesn’t exactly slow down long enough to try to explain what, exactly, the Harbinger is and what they…

MCU Spider-Man Needs to Get Out of Iron Man’s Shadow

New DVD release
Peter Parker is a rebel. He’s a high-swinging, hard-kicking, red and blue smartass who never keeps his mouth shut. Spider-Man may have grown up learning the lessons of his dear Aunt May and Uncle Ben, but outside of those ostensible parents, he never has time for anyone over 30. He was the superhero idol of his age in the 1960s: a wiseguy who taunted all the squares that tried to make him respect their authority. Yet whether it was his best mate’s father, Norman Osborn, or Otto Octavius and his ridiculous bowl cut, those stiffs learned just how few webs…
