Hellbound: Best of the Cast’s Shows and Movies to Watch

Netflix, New DVD release
Hellbound has a stellar script and gorgeous directorial execution from creator Yeon Sang-ho, but those elements would only go so far without a good cast to support the dramatic story. Luckily, the six-part Netflix series has an impressive ensemble to ground its supernatural narrative. Let’s talk about who all of these actors are, and where you might have seen them before—or where you should watch them next… Yoo Ah-in as Jeong Jin-soo Hellbound character: Yoo Ah-in plays New Truth cult leader Jeong Jin-soo with disturbing charisma, constantly keeping the characters and viewers on edge as to what his true motives…

Hellbound Time Jump Explained

Netflix, New DVD release
This Hellbound article contains major spoilers through Episode 3. Hellbound creator Yeon Sang-ho may come from a feature film background, but you wouldn’t know it from the six-part supernatural horror series’ impeccable pacing, including a mid-season time jump that gives the drama new narrative life just when the world’s horror is perhaps becoming too much. Whether you’ve completed all six episodes of the Netflix series or are looking for some mid-season guidance following the end of Episode 3, here’s what you need to know… When is Hellbound Set? The first half of Hellbound is set in 2023. In Episode 1,…

Ghostbusters: Afterlife Ending Secrets Unpacked

New DVD release
This article contains Ghostbusters: Afterlife spoilers. “Hey flattop!” It’s a line we haven’t heard Bill Murray utter for nearly 40 years. Nevertheless, you could physically sense the waves of nostalgia it triggered throughout the audience of the Ghostbusters: Afterlife premiere earlier this week when those words were shouted again. Moments before it looked like Gozer—the Destructor Herself (or Himself. Gozer is whatever Gozer wants to be!)—had won. She’d returned from a parallel dimension and had totally defeated the plan of young Phoebe (Mckenna Grace) to capture her essence in the giant ghost trap that Old Man Egon Spengler built beneath…

1883: Yellowstone Prequel Release Date, Cast, Trailer, and News

New DVD release
By just about any metric, Paramount Network drama Yellowstone is one of the most popular shows on television. Created by actor-turned-filmmaker Taylor Sheridan and starring Kevin Costner, Yellowstone boasts some truly eye-popping viewership numbers. Though the show was a hit right out of the gate, it’s reached new heights in its fourth season. The season 4 premiere drew in 12.7 million viewers in the Nielsen Ratings Live+3 metric. That made it the most-watched premiere on cable since The Walking Dead in 2017. Naturally, a show this successful almost has to become a franchise and introduce at least one spinoff. Well,…

Star Wars: What Sabine Wren Return Means for Ahsoka Series and The Mandalorian

New DVD release
It was basically a foregone conclusion that Mandalorian warrior Sabine Wren would eventually make the jump to live action once Ahsoka Tano (Rosario Dawson) showed up on The Mandalorian still searching for Grand Admiral Thrawn. After all, when Ahsoka first set out on her mission to find the Imperial villain — and the Jedi friend he’d stolen from her — it was Sabine who joined her on that journey. Well, Deadline has finally confirmed that, yes, Sabine is back and will be played Natasha Liu Bordizzo (The Society) on the upcoming Star Wars: Ahsoka series on Disney+. The outlet didn’t…

Hellbound Ending Explained

Netflix, New DVD release
This Hellbound article contains MAJOR spoilers. You can read our spoiler-free review here. Heading into Hellbound, I can almost guarantee you could not guess how the Netflix series would end its six-part first season. So many beatings, one precious newborn baby, and one time jump later, the Korean drama races towards its unpredictable, snowy conclusion in the backstreets of Seoul, leaving fans with both a satisfying (and surprisingly hopeful) ending to the first season as well as so many lingering questions about what might happen in a potential second season. Here’s everything that went down in the Hellbound season finale……

Battlefield 2042: Best Meta Weapons and Loadouts

New DVD release
Battlefield 2042‘s launch hasn’t been…great, but anyone looking to try out the latest entry in this historic multiplayer franchise will probably want to go into the game with at least a little knowledge about which guns and weapons are currently dominating the meta. Well, so far as that goes, I’ve got some good and bad news for you. The good news is that Battlefield 2042 eliminates much of the pain and confusion that come from needing to “choose” a gun by making one of the game’s weapons so absurdly powerful that there’s really no reason to use anything else. The…

Spider-Man: How the No Way Home Integrated Suit Connects All Three MCU Spidey Movies

New DVD release
While fans are still reeling from Spider-Man: No Way Home’s new trailer, the medium that provided a first glimpse at the film, toys, is teasing another revelatory release. Hot Toys, the company known for providing the pricey pinnacle of poseable plastic doppelgangers, has revealed a stunning take on one of star Tom Holland’s new costumes, the Integrated Suit. While said suit was introduced to the public in this past summer’s preview of No Way Home’s retail tie-in toys, the movie-accurate details here highlight an intriguing aspect. With Spider-Man: No Way Home being touted by Holland himself as “the end of…

Why Netflix’s Cowboy Bebop Doesn’t Work

Netflix, New DVD release
This article spoils much of Netflix’s live-action Cowboy Bebop adaptation as well as the original anime series. Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: Cowboy Bebop, the anime directed by Shinichirō Watanabe, is what got me into anime. The series was and remains a great gateway title for numerous reasons. The beautiful, high-quality animation looks as awesome now as it did when it premiered in 1998. Yoko Kanno’s jazzy soundtrack swings so hard that people who don’t normally listen to jazz find themselves downloading the soundtrack (guilty!). Also, for English-speakers, the dub is so good it’s widely accepted as…

Halo Infinite’s Campaign Borrows Far Cry’s Best Idea

New DVD release
The first extended previews of Halo Infinite‘s campaign reveal that the game not only embraces a kind of open-world format but seemingly…borrows a few ideas from the Far Cry series and other notable modern open-world games. While the various Halo Infinite previews that have been published by multiple outlets are only based on a few hours with the game’s upcoming campaign, they all suggest that it seems like the bulk of that campaign will see Master Chief navigate Zeta Halo’s fairly open environment. While there are still campaign-like missions spread throughout that environment, Infinite players will be afforded an unprecedented…

Ghostbusters: Afterlife’s Jason Reitman Wants ‘Marvel’ Like Shared Universe

New DVD release
This article contains Ghostbusters: Afterlife spoilers. The last moments of Ghostbusters: Afterlife feel as much like a new beginning as a final farewell. The closing scenes of Jason Reitman’s love letter to his father’s work bring the curtain down with a sense of finality on multiple elements. This is definitely the last we’ll see of Harold Ramis’ Egon Spengler, who is brought back by digital magic as a kind-hearted ghost. One also gets the suspicion that Bill Murray’s Peter Venkman is making his goodbyes too with the respectful nod to Spengler and a revealed happily ever after with Sigourney Weaver’s…

Link Tank: Lily James and Sebastian Stan Look Unrecognizable in Pam and Tommy

New DVD release
Lily James and Sebastian Stan look almost unrecognizable in our first look at Pam and Tommy, about the infamous Baywatch and Motley Crew stars. “Pam & Tommy is telling the story of the infamous sex tape of Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee. If you were a kid of the ’90s, you probably heard whispers of this tape. I know that I knew it existed, but I was way too young to know anything else about it. But for whatever reason, Craig Gillespie loves the ’90s, and I love the ’90s and Craig Gillespie, so it is a win-win for me.”…

How Young Justice: Phantoms Fixes a Problematic Batman Story

New DVD release
This Young Justice: Phantoms review contains spoilers. Young Justice Season 4 Episode 7 Getting off of Mars was the best thing to happen to Young Justice: Phantoms, and even though it returns there this week, the parallel structure of the episode combined with the show taking on a HUGE story from the comics and making some pretty significant improvements to it, even if it doesn’t quite land in the end.  Plot-wise, not a ton happens this week. Miss Martian, her sister, and J’onn head back to Earth after M’gann cracks her brother’s skull a little and finds out he didn’t…

Star Trek: Discovery Season 4 Episode 1 Easter Eggs & References

New DVD release
This Star Trek: Discovery article contains spoilers for Season 4, Episode 1. Read our full review here. The crew of the USS Discovery might be firmly established in a century well beyond the rest of Star Trek canon, but that doesn’t mean the rich history of the Final Frontier isn’t always with them. In fact, even the title of the very first episode of Star Trek: Discovery, Season 4, is an Easter egg. “Kobayashi Maru,” references Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, and the famous no-win scenario first introduced in that film. The idea of a no-win scenario is…

The Last of Us HBO Series Set Photos Suggest Major Character Death

New DVD release
This article contains spoilers for The Last of Us. While we know that HBO’s The Last of Us series will make some changes to the original game’s story, recent set photos from the production of the upcoming show strongly suggest that it will still feature one of that game’s most shocking and impactful character deaths. Before we dive into that, let’s make it clear that while we’re theorizing about the upcoming HBO series’ plot based on what happens in the games and what these set photos strongly suggest will happen in the show, it’s possible that those theories will prove…

Scarlett Johansson Confirms Marvel Return With ‘Top Secret Project’

New DVD release
Up until now, it seemed as though Scarlett Johansson’s time with Marvel and its parent company Disney was over. After all, not many relationships, professional or otherwise, survive protracted litigation. Well apparently this one has! According to The Hollywood Reporter, Scarlett Johansson has revealed that she has already resumed her working relationship with Disney. At the red carpet for a 35th annual American Cinematheque event honoring her career, Johansson spoke with the trade about what’s to come. “I have had some of the best times of my career working for both of those studios,” she said. “I feel really excited…

Brian Wilson: Long Promised Road Review – The Beach Boys’ Troubled Genius Finds Solace

New DVD release
The most telling moment in Brian Wilson: Long Promised Road is when the Beach Boys co-founder Brian Wilson asks his longtime friend, Rolling Stone editor Jason Fine, what he does when he’s scared. The de facto interviewer and guide through the musician’s documentary responds by asking Brian what scares him, and Wilson says “What a Fool Believes” by the Doobie Brothers. The songwriting legend has always had one wary eye on the competition. It’s been an education, and he’s learned so much it’s scared him. The Beach Boys’ singer, bassist, and keyboardist, besides being the chief and mostly-hit songwriter, was…

Ghostbusters: Afterlife Post-Credits Scenes Explained

New DVD release
This article contains Ghostbusters: Afterlife spoilers. Read our spoiler-free review here. Jason Reitman’s Ghostbusters: Afterlife is very much a film of two minds: it is a love letter to the past and his father’s work, and it’s also an attempt to strike out and be its own thing. The movie both basks in the nostalgia we associate with “legacy sequels” while also attempting to create a new generation of heroes who look decidedly nothing like Stantz, Venkman, or Zeddemore—although Spengler’s spirit is pretty well captured by the pint-sized Mckenna Grace. So perhaps it shouldn’t be a surprise that the film’s…

Andrew Garfield Astonishes in Jonathan Larson Movie tick, tick… BOOM!

Netflix, New DVD release
It would take a unique kind of audacity to reach out to Stephen Sondheim and insist he be your mentor. But then it took a unique kind of audacity—and pain, and tears, and talent—to be Jonathan Larson. As the brilliant if ill-starred artist who wrote a generation-defining musical in Rent, and then didn’t live to see it performed once in front of an audience, Larson was a singular voice who throughout his short life burned like a Roman candle, dazzling many all too briefly. That includes Sondheim. This dynamic is brought to life in Lin-Manuel Miranda’s profoundly impressive debut as…

Marvel Explains Why Hawkeye Can’t Call Spider-Man or Doctor Strange in the Disney+ Series

New DVD release
The arrival of Disney+ series Hawkeye will have Marvel Cinematic Universe archer Clint Barton (Jeremy Renner) dealing with the implications of his post-Snap international vigilante spree as Ronin, which made him enemies among the world’s conventional criminals. Yet, rather than hit up one (or all) of his super-powered Avengers contacts, he instead relies solely on the help of an upstart fangirl and would-be arrow-apprentice in Kate Bishop (Hailee Steinfeld). This leads to a rather obvious question, which Marvel’s Kevin Feige now addresses. Indeed, while we’ve been seeing Disney+ Marvel television shows entangle Avengers members in a variety of personal struggles,…
