New Power Rangers Universe Plans Revealed at Netflix

Netflix, New DVD release
Just over a year ago we heard the first rumblings of a Power Rangers reboot universe, spearheaded by director Jonathan Entwistle. We haven’t heard much since but today we got our first glimpse that this universe is going to be bigger than any fan could have ever imagined. In a Deadline interview with eOne (which is part of Hasbro) President of Global Television Michael Lombardo discussed the company’s plans for upcoming productions, one of which is the new Power Rangers universe. Multiple Non-Kid Shows A year ago we only had vague promises of what we might be getting but now…

Can Star Wars Sequel Trilogy Characters Succeed in the Disney+ Era?

New DVD release
While the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy remains a controversial topic amongst an ever-divisive fandom, the franchise’s current docket showcases a clear resolve with Disney+ television shows that pivot back to the classic era of the Original Trilogy. Indeed, with The Mandalorian having spawned a spate of television shows closely situated around the Original Trilogy era, the later-era exploits of Sequel heroes Rey, Finn and Poe appeared destined for abandonment. However, Lucasfilm boss Kathleen Kennedy seems to disagree. The studio president is apparently not ready to chuck the events of Disney-era film trilogy offerings The Force Awakens (2015), The Last Jedi…

Doctor Who: Flux – Were Bel and Vinder Division Operatives Too?

New DVD release
Warning: contains spoilers for Doctor Who: Flux episodes one to four. When Karvanista told the Doctor in ‘The Halloween Apocalypse’ to stop asking about the Division because it wasn’t a question he could answer, what if he meant that literally? Heard for the first time, it sounded as though the Lupari soldier was citing some kind of intergalactic omertà/non-disclosure agreement about his time with the Division, but what if he really can’t answer the Doctor’s question? What if the Doctor wasn’t the only Division agent whose memories were wiped? Thanks to ‘Once, Upon Time’, we know that Karvanista was part…

Cowboy Bebop: 12 Similar Shows, Movies, and Anime to Watch Next

Netflix, New DVD release
Anime is not for everybody. However, there are certain emblematic series, like Shinichiro Watanabe’s Cowboy Bebop, that are able to transcend the medium and become pillars of pop culture that are adored by mainstream crowds. Cowboy Bebop is a science fiction series that focuses on a misfit crew of bounty hunters who travel the galaxy to make a big score and survive their own neuroses. Cowboy Bebop’s space setting allows the series to embrace sci-fi archetypes, but the anime is a delirious stew of ingredients that means that riffs on westerns, film noir, and even the horror genre are all…

Hawkeye Was Originally Supposed to Be an MCU Movie

New DVD release
When you look at the original Marvel Cinematic Universe roster of the Avengers, five of the six team members have had solo films — or in the case of Iron Man, Thor, and Captain America, multiple standalone efforts, while Black Widow and the Hulk have had one apiece. The only one of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes to not get his own big-screen adventure? Hawkeye. Super-archer Clint Barton — played in five MCU films (counting his debut, a cameo in Thor) by Jeremy Renner — was originally slated to get his own spotlight movie. But somehow over the course of several years,…

Link Tank: Wesley Snipes Weighs in on Blade Being Recast

New DVD release
Former Blade actor Wesley Snipes is excited for Mahershala Ali to take over as the character in the MCU and gave him advice on playing the vampire hunter. “Recently, Snipes was asked about his thoughts on the recasting, and he rather plainly stated that he supports the casting and that’s all there is to it. ‘The issue of him being cast wasn’t between us,’ Snipes said, ‘I don’t walk around as Blade, so I’m not attached to the character like that.’ Even further, he added that there’s no ’emotional loss’ is not playing the Daywalker again, with the only advice…

Marvel’s Avengers: Spider-Man Gameplay Reveal Is the Game’s Latest Disappointment

New DVD release
The official reveal of Spider-Man’s gameplay in Marvel’s Avengers strongly suggests that the character just won’t be worth the hype that his controversial PlayStation exclusivity generated so long ago. IGN and other outlets recently got the chance to try out Marvel’s Avengers‘ Spider-Man: With Great Power DLC, and initial impressions aren’t…great. Not only will Spider-Man not be getting his own story missions as part of the upcoming DLC, but his story will be told through a series of audio logs and brief cutscenes that you will unlock via Avengers Initiative multiplayer missions. That makes it closer to the “Hero Event”…

Halo Infinite Doesn’t Need a Battle Royale Mode to Beat Call of Duty and Battlefield

New DVD release
The surprise release of Halo Infinite‘s multiplayer hasn’t only stolen a lot of the spotlight that we thought was going to go to Call of Duty: Vanguard and Battlefield 2042 but has seemingly thrown a wrench into the idea that a modern multiplayer shooter needs a battle royale mode to truly make an impact. It’s impossible to deny the significance and popularity of battle royale games in recent years, but we’re getting to this point where the cries for something different just keep getting a little louder. The problem is that some of the genre’s biggest names (such as Call…

Ghostbusters: Afterlife – Jason Reitman Finally Addresses the Biggest Spoilers in the Movie

New DVD release
This article contains Ghostbusters: Afterlife spoilers. According to Jason Reitman, he never wanted to make a Ghostbusters movie. But while most folks likely don’t stress over such things, most folks are also not the son of Ivan Reitman, director of Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters II. And so the conversation of whether he’d ever make a Ghostbusters movie came up at one time or another throughout Jason’s professional life. He heard the question after he found early success in films like Thank You for Smoking (2005), Juno (2007), and Up in the Air (2009), and he heard it again in recent years.…

The Legend of Zelda: Snowpeak Ruins’ Secret Origins Make It Zelda’s Best Dungeon

New DVD release
In the impressive history of The Legend of Zelda, few of the franchise’s dungeons have inspired as much debate and speculation as Twilight Princess‘ Snowpeak Ruins. Nestled near the peak of the mountain it shares a name with, Snowpeak Ruins’ prominent placement in Twilight Princess‘ world and its somewhat haunting exterior make it one of those Zelda dungeons that just begs to be explored. Once you step inside, though, you’ll soon discover that nearly everything about this dungeon defines series’ standards. Nothing about Snowpeak quite makes sense, and that feeling of uncertainty it almost immediately inspires only grows stronger as…

Fear the Walking Dead Season 7 Episode 6 Review: Al and Isabelle Reckon With the Past

New DVD release
This Fear the Walking Dead review contains spoilers.  Fear the Walking Dead Season 7 Episode 6 Fear the Walking Dead used to be must-watch television for me, once upon a time. This was due in no small part to following the exploits of characters I actually cared about. Characters like Nick, Alicia, and Travis—members of a blended family who weathered the earliest days of a nascent zombie apocalypse. Fear billed itself as a drama in those first seasons, and its stories were suitably gritty and gripping. But now, seven seasons in, Fear bears little resemblance to the concept that original…

Dexter: New Blood Episode 3 Review – Smoke Signals

New DVD release
This Dexter: New Blood review contains spoilers. Dexter: New Blood Episode 3 Dexter has always been at its best when its titular character has his back against the wall. The issue is that as the series progressed, Dex wiggled out of harm’s way far too easily and far too often, repeatedly saved by coincidence and intervening third parties. It reached a point where it seemed that our anti-hero would walk away from a tight spot with nothing more than a shrug, having learned nothing. Dexter: New Blood still finds the charismatic killer to be a little too slippery and a…

The Simpsons Season 33 Episode 8 Review: Portrait of a Lackey on Fire

New DVD release
This The Simpsons review contains spoilers. The Simpsons Season 33 Episode 8 The Simpsons season 33 episode 8, “Portrait of a Lackey on Fire,” is a celebration of the long-running series’ most closeted icon. For years, Waylon Smithers did time as an all-too-standard bearer of hidden identity in a workplace where labels stick with the half-lives of atomic residue. The innuendo-laden repartee with his boss, Mr. Burns, includes some of the cleverest writing of the series. In earlier seasons, Smithers’ personal life barely intruded into the office, unless you had to get past his network firewall to see his introductory…

Doctor Who: Flux Episode 4 Review – Village of the Angels

New DVD release
Doctor Who Series 13 Episode 4 Review Warning: This Doctor Who review contains spoilers. Remember Class? Nobody would blame you if you didn’t, as Coal Hill Sixth Form’s finest failed to make much of a splash when the show originally landed. If you did stick with it to the end, though, the final episode revealed that the mysterious School Governors at Susan’s old stomping ground were, in reality, Weeping Angels. Creator Patrick Ness was intending to script an angelic “civil war” if a second series had gotten the go-ahead, which indicates just how tempting a prospect the Angels can be…

Ghostbusters: Afterlife Box Office Beats Expectations, Scares Up $44 Million

New DVD release
Someone at Sony today could quite possibly be ringing a bell and shouting, “We got one!” because Ghostbusters: Afterlife’s opening weekend suggests there’s life in the old franchise yet. Indeed, the fourth movie about ghosts and the people who catch them, and third picture set in the original 1984 movie’s continuity, has beaten both Sony and competitors’ expectations, and looks poised to open at a respectable $44 million. That estimated number comes in well above Sony’s lowball projections for the weekend, with the studio forecasting their pseudo-reboot of a reboot to open between $27 million and $28 million. It also…

The Ghostbusters Sequels You Never Saw

New DVD release
Who you gonna call? For decades, it didn’t seem like anyone. Following the blockbuster success of 1984’s Ghostbusters and its less well-received yet still financially winning 1989 follow-up, Ghostbusters II, a third film in the franchise should’ve been inevitable. So why didn’t happen for more than 30 years? While offshoots like the Ghostbusters video games, comic books and especially the animated series The Real Ghostbusters (1986-1991) kept the brand alive, and even thriving to some extent over the years, it was 27 years before a new theatrical film–Paul Feig’s much-maligned all-female reboot in 2016–arrived in theaters. And it was a…

Ghostbusters: Afterlife Easter Eggs and References Guide

New DVD release
This article contains Ghostbusters: Afterlife spoilers. The dream of ever getting a Ghostbusters 3 faded long ago. There were false starts and rumors throughout the 1990s—and the 2000s too—that a sequel was this close to materializing. And yet, by the time Harold Ramis tragically passed in 2014, the likelihood of ever seeing the four original Ghostbusters standing side by side seemed impossible. Which is one of the reasons Jason Reitman’s Ghostbusters: Afterlife is such a surprise. Very much the closure longtime fans of the first two movies craved, as well as a possible backdoor opening to a larger Ghostbusters cinematic…

The Wheel of Time: The Bond Between Aes Sedai and Warders Explained

New DVD release
This article contains spoilers for the first three episodes of The Wheel of Time. Amazon’s new The Wheel of Time series is heavy on internal world-building, mythology, and lore – a natural result of the massive source material (14 novels, a prequel, and two companion books) upon which it is based. But the sheer scope can feel daunting for new viewers who are unfamiliar with the intricacies of Robert Jordan’s sprawling fantasy world.  From multiple protagonists, a dozen unique cultures, and a complex philosophical underpinning that involves repeating patterns spread throughout time, there’s a lot to unpack in this universe.…

25 Underrated Nintendo Wii Games

New DVD release
The Wii is Nintendo’s best selling console to date, a testament to the appeal of gameplay over graphics. While it was even underpowered in its time and infamously couldn’t output HD graphics, the Wii’s innovative motion controls made it appealing to groups far beyond the typical gamer demographic. It wasn’t unheard of to hear stories of even grandparents enjoying the Wii. That’s given the console something of a mixed reputation among more “hardcore” gamers, though. While there are some admittedly classic games on the console, like the Super Mario Galaxy titles and The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, the Wii…

Cowboy Bebop Ending Explained

Netflix, New DVD release
This article contains spoilers for Cowboy Bebop, both the anime and the TV series. There are certain pop culture totems that the public is incredibly protective over and Cowboy Bebop is a prime example. Shinichiro Watanabe’s masterwork continues to be considered one of the very best anime series ever made. Netflix’s live-action riff on the classic anime caught many people by surprise, but ended up as a passionate product that doesn’t try to replace the original series, yet also finds rewarding ways in which to expand the series’ universe.  Spike Spiegel (John Cho), Jet Black (Mustafa Shakir), Faye Valentine (Daniella…
