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…

10 Best Hearthstone Fractured in Alterac Valley Decks For the New Expansion Meta

New DVD release
Activision Blizzard is currently under investigation following accusations of harassment, discrimination, and fostering a hostile work environment. You can read more about the investigation here. Hearthstone‘s Fractured in Alterac Valley expansion has just been released, and it’s already clear that the game’s new cards are going to shake up the CCG’s competitive meta. While some of those new cards simply bolster existing deck types, we’re already seeing them enable a few entirely new deck types that players are currently scrambling to solve during the exciting experimental phase that follows the release of any new Hearthstone expansion. So if you’re looking…

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…

Link Tank: Celebrating 20 Years of Oceans Eleven

New DVD release
It’s been 20 years since the iconic heist movie Oceans Eleven was released! Here are some fun facts you might not have known about the film. “Has any other popcorn flick boasted a more impressive star-studded cast than Ocean’s Eleven? Well, apart from Ocean’s Twelve, Ocean’s Thirteen, and the female-fronted reboot Ocean’s 8, obviously. There was George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, and Julia Roberts all at the peak of their powers; past and future Oscar favorites Andy Garcia, Don Cheadle, and Casey Affleck; and Hollywood royalty Carl Reiner and Elliott Gould—not to mention a cameo from everyone’s favorite German-American lion tamers Siegfried and Roy.”…

Doctor Who: Flux’s Unanswered Questions

New DVD release
Warning: contains spoilers for Doctor Who: Flux Episode 6 ‘The Vanquishers’ The Doctor Who: Flux finale came and went with the chaotic clanking of a milk float taking a corner too fast. It had a billion plot threads, a dozen villains, twice as many companions, and four Doctors, one of whom didn’t count because she was really Time. If you’re in need of a more thorough explanation than that, we can offer this. Even if it did skimp on coherence, Series 13 did not skimp on ambition. Considering that the whole thing was made during a pandemic that slowed production…

Money Heist: What to Watch Next

Netflix, New DVD release
So you’ve finished “A Family Tradition” – the concluding episode of Netflix’s global blockbuster series Money Heist. It’s like finally getting off the wildest rollercoaster ride ever, right? So many twists and turns, so many powerful scenes that put our hearts in our throats, so many feels…and now it’s over.   From the very start, no one knew where this show was going to go. The original Spanish TV series La Casa de Papel (The House of Paper) would have disappeared into obscurity when it was cancelled had not Netflix picked it up. But there, the gang stole the hearts of…

The Matrix Resurrections Finally Unveils the New Niobe

New DVD release
The Matrix Resurrections revives Neo and Trinity from one more adventure inside the simulation. Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss reprise the roles that made them sci-fi legends at the turn of the century, and they’re bringing a few other franchise veterans with them. Among the other returners are Daniel Bernhardt as Agent Johnson, Lambert Wilson as an older and disheveled Merovingian, and Jada Pinkett Smith as Niobe. We’ve already seen our first glimpse at the Merovingian, who’s clearly fallen on hard times since he last tormented our heroes during a deadly bondage rave inside the Matrix, and now a new…

What BTS’ Instagram Accounts Tell Us About The Group’s Future

New DVD release
In the past 24 hours, BTS announced they would be going on vacation, teased the release of a new album, and launched individual Instagram accounts. As the Korean septet heads into a period of “extended rest,” it’s that last move that may be getting the most attention right now—and for good reason. BTS opening up new social media accounts would always be big news, but the fact that these handles are specific to each member—with Namjoon, Jin, Yoongi, Hoseok, Jimin, Taehyung, and Jungkook all launching their own handle (if you were wondering, JK’s handle is the best)—is incredibly interesting. While…

The Game Awards 2021: Nominees and Winner Predictions

New DVD release
While The Game Awards are usually pretty hard to predict (especially by awards show standards), this year’s event happens to feature an especially eclectic collection of nominees that could all just as easily walk away with the show’s top prizes. A combination of delays and strange circumstances deprived this year’s Game Awards show of its most obvious “frontrunners,” which means that we’re all left guessing which of the year’s greatest games will end up being the biggest winners at what is quickly becoming the video game industry’s version of the Academy Awards. Since only a fool would dare to predict…

The Matrix Resurrections Reveals New Take on Hugo Weaving’s Agent Smith

New DVD release
“Millions of people just living out their lives…oblivious.” Those are the words first spoken by Hugo Weaving’s Agent Smith while interrogating Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne) in the original Matrix from 1999. They’re the same words repeated to Keanu Reeves’ Neo 20 years later in The Matrix Resurrections, only it isn’t Weaving delivering the monologue this time, but the sinister villain played by Jonathan Groff (Mindhunter). It’s one of many deja vu moments teased in the sequel’s new trailer, which is full of easter eggs and callbacks to the trilogy that saw Neo freed from the Matrix and later save the rest…

Original Pink Ranger Writing a Power Rangers Comic

New DVD release
Since the Boom Power Rangers line of comics began it’s largely focused on the original Mighty Morphin team of characters. Now it appears that focus is about to go to the next level. Speaking at Emerald City Comic Con this past weekend, original Pink Ranger Amy Jo Johnson (who just directed an episode of Superman & Lois) let slip that she’s working on a comic for the line! Johnson stated that “I wrote a comic book with my boyfriend and Boom is quite excited about it. We’re sort of in the process of getting it made.” Johnson describes the comic…
