How Blade Runner: Black Lotus Fills In Gaps Between the Classic Film and 2049

This article contains spoilers for Blade Runner: Black Lotus episodes 1 and 2.  The rainy and foggy world of Blade Runner is about to get a little clearer. With the new anime series Blade Runner: Black Lotus, several pieces of narrative connective tissue link the anachronistic world of “2019” with the future we saw in the film Blade Runner: 2049. While Black Lotus on Adult Swim is very much intent on telling its own story, and focusing on specific Replicants and Blade Runners unique to this series, it’s also doing some impressive heavy lifting in the world-building department.  Here are…

15 Hardest Xbox Games

In our previous looks at some of the hardest games ever made for their respective consoles, we were ultimately just rounding up the usual suspects and trying to order them in a way that made sense. When it comes to the hardest Xbox games ever made, though, the process is a little bit…different. While there are some Xbox games that are infamously and indisputably difficult, many of the more notable games for Microsoft’s first console just didn’t emphasize overwhelming difficulty in the same way that some PlayStation 2 and GameCube games did. There are various reasons why that seemed to…

Explore Marvel’s Eternals and More With Jack Kirby Exhibit in New York City

The biggest movie in the world right now is Marvel’s Eternals, and there’s no bigger franchise in cinematic history than the MCU. Not only that, but Marvel Studios parent company Disney just made an endless parade of upcoming Marvel TV shows on the Disney+ streaming service the cornerstone of their appeal to subscribers and shareholders in a day long infomercial. And not a single one of these Marvel-related projects would exist were it not for the work and creativity of visionary storyteller, Jack Kirby. To celebrate Kirby’s contributions to Marvel, DC, and pop culture at large, The Jack Kirby Museum…

GTA Trilogy Definitive Edition: Biggest Changes and Differences

Leading up to the release of Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition, many long-time fans wondered whether or not Rockstar would use these remasters as an excuse to make notable changes to the original games in order to bring them into the modern age. On that note, we should mention that the GTA Trilogy has already been brought into the modern age (kind of) via various ports to more modern platforms (including mobile devices). As such, you essentially have the original PS2 games (as well as their Xbox ports), the more recent “updated” versions of these titles,…

The Beatles: New I’ve Got a Feeling Deserves a Closer Listen

Peter Jackson’s upcoming The Beatles: Get Back is poised to reframe the breakup of “the greatest show on the earth, for what it was worth,” into a race-against-the-clock musical comedy. Good Morning America dropped a video showing the serious business of hitting the right notes.  It’s obviously an early take, none of the nuances which will come to define the sound of it are yet in play. Paul McCartney is still shouting out chords, ad-libbing and scatting lyrics, most prominently the refrain which holds the piece together.  A deadpan George Harrison asks if the song is called “I’ve Got a…

Red Notice Answers Who Would Win in a Fight: Wonder Woman or Deadpool

This Red Notice article contains spoilers. Ostensibly, Red Notice is an action-adventure heist film that capitalizes on the star power of its lead actors to carry a fairly formulaic but fun storyline. In fact, it has become the trademark of director Rawson Marshall Thurber and his movie lineup starring Dwayne Johnson, which includes 2018’s Skyscraper and 2016’s Central Intelligence. But it’s the battle between the rival thieves played by Gal Gadot and Ryan Reynolds that really heightens the derivative nature of the film by posing a subliminal question: did Wonder Woman just kick Deadpool’s ass? It’s an academic question that…

Who is Marvel’s Echo: How the New Hero Fits in with MCU Phase 4

One of the big new Marvel shows announced for Disney+ is Echo, starring Alaqua Cox. The character will be introduced in Hawkeye later this month and now is the perfect time for her to shine. In the comics, Echo was never truly a top-tier hero. Echo has mostly been portrayed as a supporting character, but she is remembered for her role in an era that goes well with MCU Phase 4. More specifically, she represents the rebirth of the Avengers. Maya Lopez was introduced in Daredevil #9 in 1999. The storyline was written by David Mack and drawn by Joe…

Sci-Fear Week Crash Lands on Horror Channel This November

Some science fiction can embolden the human spirit, inviting us to step out into a wider universe to experience the vast and unimaginable wonders it has to offer. Some science fiction shows us how human ingenuity will solve even our greatest problems and improve our lives for the better. Other science fiction points out that those vast and unimaginable wonders are terrifying and will probably try to eat you, while human ingenuity is better at nothing more than finding really imaginative ways to kill people. This month, Horror Channel will be showing a week of films that fall into the…

Marvel Bringing the Only Version of X-Men That Matters to Disney+

Ever since Disney absorbed 20th Century Fox, fans have been waiting to see what Marvel would do with the X-Men and Fantastic Four. While Marvel Studios wasted little time in announcing a live action Fantastic Four movie, there has been thus far no official mention of mutants or X-Men related characters in the MCU. Not only that, there hasn’t really been much in the way of mutant activity across any of the screen projects being worked on. It seems that Marvel Studios wants to let the memories of the previous live action franchise fade a bit before properly introducing mutants…

What Is a Mayor of Kingstown Anyway?

Growing up in Kingston, Ontario, Mayor of Kingston co-creator Hugh Dillon was surrounded by incarceration. Sometimes called “the prison capital of Canada”, Kingston was home to as many as 10 penitentiaries at its peak, including the imposing Millhaven Institution maximum security facility.  “When you pass the guard towers when you’re five and six, you think it’s Disneyland,” Dillon told Den of Geek and other outlets. “And your folks have to tell you ‘That’s not Disneyland.’” A maximum security prison is very much not Disneyland. Dillon’s experiences beneath those towers, however, inspired a TV concept that is set to stream on…

Moon Knight, She-Hulk, and More: All the MCU Announcements at Disney+ Day

When Disney streaming service Disney+ launched on November 12, 2019, the Marvel Cinematic Universe was still a ways away from making its streaming debut. Marvel titles like Daredevil and Runaways had already graced the streaming world on platforms like Netflix and Hulu, but it wouldn’t be until WandaVision premiered on Jan. 15, 2021 that Marvel’s celluloid canon joined its televised one. By the time Disney+ Day, a celebration of the streamer’s two-year anniversary, rolled around today, the Marvel machine was in full force. With The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, Loki, and Marvel’s What…If? joining the aforementioned WandaVision on television,…

Red Notice Ending Explained

This article contains Red Notice spoilers. Who ultimately is conning who here? That’s up for debate by the time the credits roll on Netflix’s Red Notice, as the tables turned and turned again between Dwayne Johnson’s John Hartley, Ryan Reynolds’ Nolan Booth, and Gal Gadot’s “The Bishop.” The three characters crossed, double-crossed, and maybe even triple-crossed each other more than once. But when it’s all said and done, they’re each standing on the same boat agreeing to go after another job together. The film spells out its switchbacks pretty thoroughly, but even so there are just enough twists to leave…

Well, well, well. Disney+ has just delivered a few first looks at some of its upcoming MCU series, including She-Hulk and Ms. Marvel, and the highly anticipated Moon Knight was among them!

Let’s take a closer look… Marc Spector The teaser opens with a shot of Isaac’s central…

GTA Trilogy Definitive Edition: Worst Bugs, Glitches, and Problems So Far

Many of us assumed that the seemingly inevitable remasters of GTA 3, GTA: Vice City, and GTA: San Andreas would eventually be guaranteed (and welcome) hits, but the release of Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition has already been met with scorn and ridicule from franchise fans who are stunned by these remasters’ many, many problems. Maybe it shouldn’t be a surprise to see these remasters fall quite so hard on their face given some of the botched remasters and new releases we’ve seen in recent years, but it is truly astonishing to witness just how bad…

Star Wars: Boba Fett’s Real Debut Wasn’t in the Holiday Special or Empire

1978’s Star Wars Holiday Special is known for many things: continuing the adventures of Luke, Han, Leia, and Chewie; introducing fans to Life Day and Chewie’s son, Lumpy; and being an all-around terrible TV special. But it also marked the first onscreen appearance of one of the most iconic characters in Star Wars: Boba Fett. In the animated portion of the special, the heroes first meet Boba as an ally, a mysterious man in imposing armor who offers to help Han and Chewie after they crash on a dangerous moon in the Panna system. But we soon learn of this…

GTA Trilogy Definitive Edition: Every Cheat Code

Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition has finally been released, and it’s safe to say that these remasters don’t quite live up to their full potential. However, they do give gamers of a certain era an appealing excuse to revisit these revolutionary titles. Of course, for many GTA fans, properly revisiting these games means playing them with cheat codes enabled. As we’ve discussed in a previous look at the best video game cheat codes, the GTA games were really some of the last major titles to emphasize and celebrate cheat codes in such a clear way. Some…

Star Trek Has Always Loved Spores

This Star Trek article contains some spoilers for Prodigy episode 3, “Dreamcatcher.” Spores are a big deal in Star Trek. This may sound like a retroactive canon thing, given that the propulsion system of the USS Discovery basically runs on mushrooms, but, the truth is, spores also gave Star Trek: The Original Series one of its most pivotal and important episodes: “This Side of Paradise.” Prior to Prodigy‘s release, we were told that the kid-geared series would be drawing inspiration from all corners of Trek universe and, in a kind of strange tribute to both the spores of Discovery and…
