Star Trek: Discovery Season 4 Episode 4 — Every Easter Egg & Reference

New DVD release
This Star Trek: Discovery article contains spoilers for Season 4, Episode 4. After season 2, one of the hallmarks of Star Trek: Discovery is the fact that many of the episodes tend to feel more like standalones. Although there’s always a big arc lurking in the background, both Season 3, and now, Season 4, have proven that even within the serialized framework of DISCO, Trek can still tell stand-alone stories in the 32nd Century. In the previous episode, “Choose to Live,” we got an action-adventure mystery involving the Qowat Milat. This time, in “All Is Possible,” DISCO does a classic…

Star Trek: Discovery Season 4 Episode 4 Review: All Is Possible

New DVD release
The following contains spoilers for STAR trek: discovery Star Trek: Discovery Season 4 Episode 4 It’s not yet clear whether “All is Possible ” will really be Sylvia Tilly’s goodbye on Star Trek Discovery, especially since the episode makes such a strong case for the necessity of her perspective and worldview. In many ways, her character is a kind of personification of what makes Star Trek as a concept so appealing, just a big-hearted, open embrace of possibility along with a nerdy love of science and seemingly boundless faith in the innate goodness of others. The idea of the Discovery…

Spider-Man: No Way Home Villains Dish on Their Motivations

New DVD release
Spider-Man: No Way Home has been teasing a universe-crossing cavalcade of supervillains, all of whom have been the center of serious questions set to be answered upon the film’s release next week. Interestingly enough, it appears that a potentially crucial detail has been divulged in advance about these Marvel Cinematic Universe-exiled remnants of previous movie iterations, notably the motivation for the chaos they’re causing. Indeed, said details come straight from returning cast members Willem Dafoe, Alfred Molina and Jamie Foxx.     Of course, this past summer’s first proper trailer for Spider-Man: No Way Home finally confirmed the long-speculated notion of…

Hawkeye Works Because It Understands Its Own Stakes

New DVD release
This article contains spoilers for Hawkeye through episode 4. In superhero storytelling there’s usually only one path for any given franchise to take. And that’s to go bigger.  Marvel Studios has understood that better than anyone and has revolutionized the depiction of superheroes onscreen by making sure its universe grows and grows and grows. The philosophy of “BIG” is baked into the MCU’s very core. From the moment that Iron Man premiered in 2008, Marvel’s goal was to create an interconnected world of IP-controlled heroes, culminating in the first true team up film with 2012’s The Avengers. Since then The…

Halo Infinite Ending and Post-Credits Scene Explained

New DVD release
This article contains spoilers for Halo Infinite. Halo Infinite‘s open-world structure may prove to be the future of this franchise’s gameplay, but it’s the ways that this game’s ending and post-credits scene set up the future of Halo‘s story and lore that leave us wondering what directions developer 343 Industries intends to take this series in. Halo Infinite‘s story falls somewhere between a reboot and the next chapter of the Halo saga as it’s been told so far. There are moments in this game that are clearly designed to get this series back to its roots (or relatively close to…

Hawkeye Episode 4: MCU Easter Eggs and Marvel Comics References

New DVD release
This article contains Hawkeye spoilers. Hawkeye Episode 4 Hawkeye episode 4, which boasts the “say it in Kate Bishop’s voice” title of “Partners, Am I Right?” slows things down considerably from last week’s wild, chaotic, action-packed episode. This isn’t a bad thing at all. Not only does it give Clint and Kate a chance to catch their breath, it lets the audience take a look at some of the larger mysteries surrounding the show so far. As a result, this episode is a little lighter on Marvel Comics and MCU Easter eggs than we’ve had in the first three, and…

The Game Awards 2021 Announcement and Reveal Predictions

New DVD release
Despite the show’s name, recent years have proven that The Game Awards is as much (if not more of) a platform for studios to make major announcements as it is a chance to celebrate the best games and creators of the year. While the Game Awards team has been hyping up a series of major reveals that have fans buzzing, nobody is entirely sure what we can realistically expect from this year’s show. The Game Awards crew has done a great job of keeping that ship from leaking too much, and even the most “solid” rumors about the event come…

Riverdale: Intergenerational Trauma Overshadows Sabrina’s Arrival

New DVD release
This Riverdale review contains spoilers. Riverdale Season 6 Episode 4 “Happy sad endings are the best.” While the eagerly awaited appearance of now twentysomething witch Sabrina (Kiernan Shipka, immediately re-inhabiting her iconic role with warmth and confidence) got all the pre-air hype, the fourth installment of Riverdale‘s “Rivervale” experiment is really Madelaine Petsch’s tour de force. Portraying not only Cheryl, but her ancestors Poppy and Abigail, Petsch delivers a nuanced performance — well, three of them — that shed new light on the tragedy suffered by the Blossom women across the generations. As such, what was billed as a Chilling…

Link Tank: Mega Man Movie in Development

New DVD release
Beloved video game icon Mega Man is the next character to receive a live-action film adaptation, coming to Netflix in the future. “Apparently, Capcom announced this back in 2018? With Masi Oka (Heroes, Hawaii Five-0, The Meg) serving as co-producer? I’m trying to remember what I was doing in 2018 because I feel like I would’ve remembered an announcement like this, yet here I am, looking at the words ‘Mega Man’ and ‘Netflix’ in quiet… something.” Read more at The Mary Sue Could Hailee Steinfeld as Kate Bishop from Hawkeye appear in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania? “Most of the discussion surrounding 2023’s…

The Undemanding Joys of a Harlan Coben Thriller

New DVD release
It’s no accident that Harlan Coben’s Stay Close lands on Netflix on the 31st of December. That’s a precision release strategy calibrated to hit the exact spot between viewers’ reduced mental capacity and increased desire to gaze upon luxurious marble kitchen islands on the last day of the year. A Harlan Coben thriller is succour to a weakened state. With their gentle, leafy suburbs and upper middle-class homes – every soft-close cabinet of which is squirming with secrets – they make a binge-watch par excellence. Nothing nails you to your sofa quite like a ludicrously unlikely drama about people with…

Hawkeye: Rolex Watch Theories Explained

New DVD release
This article contains spoilers for Marvel’s HAWKEYE episode 4, as well as potential spoilers for future episodes and the wider MCU. With two episodes left, Hawkeye has a lot of ground left to cover. The two archers not only have to get Clint home to his family by Christmas, but they also have to contend with the Tracksuit Mafia, Echo, probably the Kingpin, a murder mystery, Black Widow, and whatever surprises are going on with Kate’s mother and Jack. There’s a lot on the show’s plate, but one mystery that’s been there since the beginning is that of the watch. For much…

Hawkeye Episode 4 Review: Bishops, Pawns and Widows

New DVD release
This review contains spoilers for Hawkeye episode 4 and some spoilery speculation for the wider MCU. Hawkeye episode 4, “Partners, Am I Right?”, did the investigative story work that took a backseat in last week’s action-packed installment. Although remaining well-paced, the show slowed down markedly, making its episodic nature feel more frustrating. But in doing so, it also hooked us into a key element of the plot that had been mostly abandoned since the premiere, and did some essential work on both its core mysteries and Clint Barton’s unresolved guilt. Anyone who was hoping for a Wilson Fisk reveal in…

Doc Ock Is Still the Best Spider-Man Villain On-Screen

New DVD release
It’s the trailer that broke the internet. The first Spider-Man: No Way Home sizzle footage, which ended with the familiar sight of Alfred Molina strapped to four mechanical arms, was viewed more than 355 million times in its first 24 hours on the web, setting a Guinness world record. When Molina’s iconic Doctor Octopus (or Doc Ock) smiled, “Hello, Peter,” the whole world smiled right back. Despite it being nearly 20 years since Molina last played Doc Ock in a movie—way back when Tobey Maguire was still Spider-Man and George W. Bush was only in his first term as President…

The Witcher Season 2 Will See the Lion Cub of Cintra Roar

New DVD release
Given the fact that Netflix fantasy series The Witcher is based, at least in part, on a series of video games about a magical monster hunter, you’d be forgiven for almost immediately assuming that the presence of women in this story is likely to be minimal at best. (Or that those who do appear would be both simply drawn and scantily clad.) But the franchise–from streaming series and video games to the Andrzej Sapkowski novels and short stories upon which it is all based–is actually surprisingly feminist, granting its female characters the sort of agency and interiority that is not…

The Flash: Armageddon: Inside the Return of the Reverse Flash

New DVD release
The following The Flash: Armageddon article contains spoilers. The Flash Season 8 Episode 4 Almost anyone who has watched The Flash for any length of time knows there really three certain things in life: Death, taxes, and the Reverse Flash. By far the most iconic of Barry Allen’s foes, Eobard Thawne is guaranteed to turn up every few seasons like clockwork, in an attempt to kill The Flash, steal his speed, or just generally ruin his life.  The danger, of course, lies in the risk of repeated Reverse Flash appearances becoming stale or boring, even repetitive at certain points. In…

10 Best Video Game Stories of 2021

New DVD release
At a time when it feels like live service and multiplayer titles dominate the video game industry, it’s easy to forget that we live in a fascinating age for the art of video game storytelling. Modern video game stories often benefit from new avenues of development and distribution that allow a greater variety of voices to tell unique stories that would have once struggled to find a home in this medium. Maybe some Triple-A studios have pivoted away from narrative-based games, but a host of smaller studios and independent developers have more than picked up the slack. For those who…

Tom Holland Says Spider-Man: No Way Home Introduces ‘Raimi Camera’ Style in MCU

New DVD release
Stars Tom Holland, Zendaya, and Jacob Batalon grew up with the Sam Raimi Spider-Man movies. How could they not? Each actor was at the perfect age of either five or six when the 2002 Spidey movie came out—a game-changing event which featured Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker and Willem Dafoe as the Green Goblin. And the future No Way Home actors were only a few years older when Alfred Molina made his debut as the dastardly Doctor Octopus in Spider-Man 2 in 2004. Now, in a still impossible-seeming trick of blockbuster origami, the trio of leads who came of age…

Star Wars Offers Best Look at New Boba Fett Suit

New DVD release
Star Wars and action figures have gone hand in hand since the very first Kenner figures were hastily solicited in advance in the infamous “Early Bird Set” carboard box back in 1977. Thus, the notion of figures for imminently-debuting Disney+ television show The Book of Boba Fett being unveiled for releases that purportedly won’t occur until late-2022 is hardly unconventional. However, the touted figure photos do provide an intriguing glimpse at everyone’s favorite Sarlacc-surviving bounty hunter in his new, color-popping solo series duds. Hasbro has provided an advance look at an inevitable accompaniment to The Book of Boba Fett with…

Dwayne Johnson Teases Black Adam v Superman Fight

New DVD release
Dwayne Johnson’s Black Adam movie is finally becoming a reality. Having recently wrapped principal photography, the antihero driven movie about an ancient champion with the power of Shazam is due to open on July 29, 2022. It’s a movie that will fill out considerable chunks of DCEU history, from some ancient history hinted at in the first Shazam! movie to the fictional DC nation of Khandaq, to the introduction of the big screen version of the Justice Society of America. But it’s important to remember that Johnson has been associated with the character of Black Adam for as long as…
