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…

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… …

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. During the opening…

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…

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…

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…
