Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man Is a Perfect Thanksgiving Movie

New DVD release
Thanksgiving is an interesting holiday when it comes to cinema. Despite being among the most widely celebrated and popular seasonal gatherings (at least in the U.S.) where the only prerequisite is the sweatpants you’ll need after dinner, there have been few genuinely great movies set around Turkey Day. John Hughes’ Planes, Trains and Automobiles is of course an indisputable classic; and the beginning of Miracle on 34th Street also kicks off at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade (before quickly transitioning into Christmas movie iconography). But where are the modern classics? Well if you count organic webbing as a good substitute…

How Denzel Washington Celebrates Thanksgiving in American Gangster

New DVD release
Denzel Washington’s Frank Lucas in Ridley Scott’s American Gangster is exactly that: an American gangster. The real Frank Lucas was born in North Carolina so dirt poor that he never even attended school. But he could have taught at any business college. His success is the American dream, and he has a lot to be grateful for. Washington’s Lucas is also a traditionalist in the 2007 crime epic, and he celebrates Thanksgiving “the American way.” He throws a family feast, leads his family in grace, and gives out turkeys to the needy and the greedy. After an introductory and incendiary…

New photos and videos from the set of HBO’s upcoming adaptation of The Last of Us focus on Joel and Ellie as the two explore the series’ “University” set and recreate an iconic moment from the 2013 video game that the show will (mostly) follow. Towards the end of The Last of Us game, Joel and Ellie arrive at the University of Eastern Colorado. They believe that is where the Fireflies are currently stationed, but soon discover that the Fireflies have abandoned that location and have moved their operations to Salt Lake City. As they work their way through the…

Hanna Made the Right Choice in the Season 3 Ending

New DVD release
Warning: contains spoilers for the Hanna season three finale. At some point on the drawing board for the Hanna season three finale, there was perhaps a version of the ending in which Hanna, her assassination-target-turned-lover Abbas and his six-year-old daughter Nadiya enjoy a sun-kissed moment at a coastal Mediterranean villa with whitewashed walls and a garden planted with orange trees and grape vines. That was the fantasy Hanna and Abbas created after spending their first night together in the safe house where he was hiding from Utrax assassins.  Instead, the season three finale had Hanna say goodbye to Abbas and Nadiya at…

Hawkeye Episode 1 and 2 Review: Welcome to the Party, Pal

New DVD release
This review contains spoilers for Marvel’s Hawkeye Episodes 1 and 2 Hawkeye Episodes 1 and 2 After more trailers, TV spots, and exclusive clips than you can shake a stick at, the first two episodes of Marvel’s Hawkeye are now streaming on Disney+. But who asked for it? Hawkeye has steadily maintained his place in the Avengers line-up since 2012’s first team-up movie, and has been dutifully played by the double Oscar-nominated Jeremy Renner over the last decade, but Clint Barton is still a supporting character that the MCU itself has regularly mocked as being surplus to requirements. Arguably, fewer…

Masters of the Universe: Revelation Ending Explained

Netflix, New DVD release
Warning: This Masters of the Universe: Revelation – Part 2 article spoils the ending of the series. Everything seems pretty wrapped up at the end of Masters of the Universe: Revelation – Part 2. He-Man is back, Skeletor has been sent packing, and things are (more or less) back in place in the world of Eternia. But of course, if Skeletor is still around you know things won’t be peaceful for long.  How Did Teela Convince Evil-Lyn to Reform? Halfway through Part 2 Evil-Lyn seemed to go off the deep end. Faced with a vision that depicted “the death of…

The Flash: Armageddon Hints at the Madness of Barry Allen

New DVD release
This THE FLASH: ARMAGEDDON article contains spoilers. The Flash Season 8 Episode 2 Something is very wrong in the world of The Flash. STAR Labs as we know it may well be gone. Gideon has been deactivated. A major character appears to be dead. And Barry seems to be unraveling, right before our eyes.  Look, when the three-eyed villain Despero showed up in the first part of the series’ new Armageddon event, threatening to kill Barry because he’ll apparently cause some sort of cataclysmic event a decade from now, we probably all pretty much shrugged. (Be honest!) Barry Allen is a good…

How Masters of the Universe: Revelation’s Grand Plan for He-Man and Skeletor Came Together

Netflix, New DVD release
Warning: This Masters of the Universe: Revelation article contains spoilers for parts 1 and 2. Masters of the Universe: Revelation is a true love letter to He-Man fans. Crafted in part by filmmaker Kevin Smith, a longtime fan of all things geeky, the first part of the Netflix series was filled to the brim with references, deep cuts, and a reverent treatment of its source material, the original 1980s He-Man and the Masters of the Universe animated series. It 100% succeeded in what it set out to do but it wasn’t afraid to take risks.  The biggest of which was,…

Jurassic World: Dominion Prologue – Why Do the Dinosaurs Look Different?

New DVD release
That isn’t our Tyrannosaurus Rex… is it? It’s a question many moviegoers asked themselves when the Jurassic World: Dominion prologue played in theaters over the summer before screenings of F9, and it’s a query that became more prominent today with the same prologue finally being released online. In an opening sequence which takes place at the dawn of time—and sunset of the dinosaurs—we see a version of the iconic Jurassic Park T. Rex stomping around the Cretaceous, but she looks a might strange after the last five movies. Like feathers and chicken feet strange. This is just one of the…

Hellbound Monsters Explained

Netflix, New DVD release
Hellbound is an interesting speculative fiction piece in that, while it initially presents its central conflict as one between humanity and something supernatural and/or divine, it is actually much more ambitiously interested in exploring the very human reactions and systems that spring up as a result of the supernatural phenomenon. That being said, there are still monsters in this show, and therefore we still have many questions about what they might be—especially given that, by the first season’s conclusion, we still don’t have any in-world conclusions. That means we have to extrapolate some conclusions from the evidence we do have.…

Doctor Who: Flux – Did the Time Lords Create the Weeping Angels?

New DVD release
Warning: contains spoilers for Doctor Who: Flux Chapter 4 ‘Village of the Angels’ The Weeping Angels are back, and they are not playing. To be honest, even attempting another Weeping Angels episode is a pretty brave feat in itself. Moffat’s trilogy of stories pretty covered all the bases. ‘Blink’ established the rules for Angels. ‘The Time of the Angels/Flesh and Stone’ gave them the Aliens treatment (more of them, and now they’re fighting people with guns). ‘The Angels Take Manhattan’ showed us what happened when the Angels won, with a New York hotel turned into a Weeping Angels battery farm.…

Where Marvel’s Hawkeye Fits in the MCU

New DVD release
With each of its Disney+ series — just like with many of its movies — Marvel Studios has attempted to accentuate a different genre or tone depending on the story, the themes and the characters, not to mention each show’s place in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. WandaVision and Loki go for a surreal, cosmic, universe-bending vibe, while The Falcon and the Winter Soldier operates on the level of a geopolitical thriller. So where does that leave the latest Marvel limited series, Hawkeye? “Every time we start developing a project, we are always talking about how we set it apart from…

The Beatles: Get Back Will Show Uncensored Swearing on Disney+

New DVD release
When The Beatles first appeared on American television, Ed Sullivan thanked them for “being four of the nicest youngsters” he had ever met. He called them talented, professional, and very polite. Peter Jackson had to get special dispensation from the Mouse to let the band loosen their tongues for The Beatles: Get Back. “We’ve had to have a discussion with Disney about the swearing,” Jackson told Radio Times. The six-hour documentary follows the band writing and rehearsing 14 new songs on a tight deadline. They were planning their first live show in over two years. Things get said. As John…

MST3K Turkey Day 2021: How to Watch the Marathon This Thanksgiving

New DVD release
When it comes to Thanksgiving, we all have our non-eating traditions. Many like to watch the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade or check out a game or two of football. For many a geek, Thanksgiving is a day that lets us sit back and watch a whole lot of Mystery Science Theater 3000. It’s part of the show’s DNA. The first episode debuted back on Thanksgiving in 1988. Then the idea of a Thanksgiving marathon became a regular part of Comedy Central’s calendar. Years later, MST3K episodes would be spread through Thanksgiving whether or not there was any news on new…

House of Gucci Review: Ridley Scott and Lady Gaga Movie Has Deadly Style

New DVD release
Lady Gaga’s journey as an actress has been remarkable. Once the vamping vampire in Ryan Murphy’s American Horror Story—where she wasn’t asked to do much more than strut—she soon revealed herself to be genuinely effective in A Star Is Born. With palpable insecurity and a hell of a ballad written by Gaga herself, that character believably lived in the singer’s world if not her personal headspace. Now in House of Gucci, Gaga finds a real high note, announcing she’s a major thespian and feasting on a role so vain and consumed with avarice that it perhaps took a pop star…

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…
