Supergirl Finale: Supercorp Are Just Gals Being Pals

New DVD release
This article contains major spoilers for the Supergirl series finale. Supergirl Season 6 Episodes 19 and 20 After five long seasons, Supergirl has ended and Supercorp, the romantic pairing of Kara Danvers and Lena Luthor, is not, in fact, endgame – at least not canonically. In some ways it feels like this was always how it would go, but that doesn’t make it any less frustrating and even hurtful. For many viewers, especially the young LGBTQ viewership of Supergirl, this show and its fandom are their lifeline to the LGBTQ community. That’s become even more true during the pandemic years,…

Did a Star Wars Old Republic Movie Replace Rogue Squadron?

New DVD release
We didn’t even need to wait until this upcoming Friday’s Disney+ Day broadcast to get first the big Star Wars news of the week: Rogue Squadron, the movie being helmed by Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins, has reportedly been delayed from its 2023 release date. THR reports that Jenkins’ other commitments, including Wonder Woman 3, will prevent her from being able to film the first post-Skywalker Saga Star Wars movie next year. Since this was the only upcoming Star Wars film with a confirmed release date, this now potentially leaves the franchise’s theatrical side in limbo. But if another rumor…

Tom Holland Calls “Dark and Sad” Spider-Man: No Way Home “Not Fun”

New DVD release
Spider-Man: No Way Home has been teasing a cavalcade of universe-crossing chaos, further fueling the uncontained delight of fans who anticipate its expected array of frenetically fun moments. Yet, while the promotional process for the December-scheduled threequel has forced its historically-gabby star, Tom Holland, to keep an especially tight lid on some stupendous secrets, his most recent comments seemingly slip out a narrative that contradicts the long-assumed notion of the film being, well… fun. Based on what’s showcased in Spider-Man: No Way Home, primarily from a debut trailer from this past August that still has everyone talking, “fun” is a…

How Star Trek: Discovery Formed Its Season 4 Federation

New DVD release
Ever since jumping into the 32nd century, Star Trek: Discovery has had a new lease on narrative life. In addition to the character consequences that organically come from an entire crew leaving their friends, family, and homes for a future entirely unknown, Season 3 began to delve into an exploration of what the Federation looks like centuries after most of the events featured in the Star Trek franchise. Last season, we found out what caused “The Burn,” the mysterious event that led to millions of Federation members dying when warp cores across the system near-simultaneously exploded. (Spoiler: it was a…

How 21 Jump Street Worked as a Stealth Sequel to the Original TV Show

New DVD release
On the surface the 21 Jump Street movie was a reboot of the classic ‘80s TV series starring Johnny Depp. It’s the same basic premise where cops go undercover as teenagers, but it played more as comedy than drama. To the average viewer, it was just another in a long string of Hollywood remakes, albeit a very strong one. What most don’t realize is that, buried deep in the plot of the film, is that this was no reboot. The 21 Jump Street movie was a sequel to the original TV series! The first hint at this comes in the…

The Last of Us HBO Series Set Photos Tease FEDRA Villains and Neil Druckmann Episode

New DVD release
HBO has been busy filming its adaptation of The Last of Us in Canada, building sets for both the Boston QZ and the Jackson settlement around Alberta. We’ve already seen Pedro Pascal, Bella Ramsey, and Anna Torv in costume as Joel, Ellie, and Tess respectively, and it’s likely we’ll see Gabriel Luna as Joel’s brother, Tommy, very soon, as the show prepares to shoot scenes set in Jackson. But there are also a few things we haven’t seen. While we’ve seen the devastation left in the wake of the Cordyceps outbreak, we haven’t actually seen any infected. How HBO will…

Dexter: New Blood’s Setting and Location Explained

New DVD release
When it comes to television, Miami and vice go hand in hand. Something about a vibrant multicultural city covering up a seedy human underbelly is too good for TV storytellers to pass up. So just as the classic ‘80s cop procedural delighted in juxtaposing the Southern Florida sunshine with the uglier aspects of living in a big city, so too did Showtime’s Dexter. Miami-Dade County was the unspoken MVP of the serial killer drama’s eight season run. Miami was so integral to the show’s vibes that, in lieu of killing its titular lead character in the series finale, Dexter just…

The Eye of the World: A Tolkien-Like Journey with a Twist

New DVD release
This article is sponsored by With The Wheel of Time set to premiere on Prime Video, some fantasy fans may decide they’d like to dip their toes into the waters of the Robert Jordan novels upon which the show is based, and although Book 1, The Eye of the World, may seem daunting at nearly 800 pages, it’s fittingly (and intentionally) the most accessible story in the 14-book series. Jordan based the book’s early story structure on that of J. R. R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings trilogy, creating a recognizable pattern that would pull in readers while simultaneously…

You can now buy a 6,785 piece LEGO Star Wars AT-AT for a price of $800, and here are the reasons why you should justify that pretty penny. “Just as the Empire decimated planet after planet with its intimidating fleet of space weapons, LEGO continues to decimate responsibly planned budgets with its Ultimate Collector Series Star Wars sets.

Squid Game Creator Confirms Season 2, Talks Potential Release Date

Netflix, New DVD release
Hwang Dong-hyuk likely never imagined the massive scope of Squid Game‘s success. The creator of the Netflix global phenomenon is well-known feature film director in Korea who initially developed Squid Game as a movie. It only became a nine-part series after years of rejections; 13 years after the creator first had the idea for the story, the media landscape had changed enough that Hwang’s vision fit into a modern streaming TV drama format. That being said, Hwang didn’t necessarily imagine it as a multi-part drama, but, as we all know from watching Squid Game, money talks… and the talented creator…

The Last Shadow: A Divided Ender Saga Reunited

New DVD release
This article is sponsored by When Orson Scott Card wrote his original trilogy following the child genius Andrew “Ender” Wiggin as he trained for interstellar war at Battle School, he hardly could have imagined how far the tale would progress. However, because Card left himself such a large time gap between Ender’s Game and the second novel, Speaker for the Dead, the millennia were ripe for further exploration, and explore them he did, both in the Shadow saga following Ender’s classmate Bean and in short stories and prequels throughout the 2000s and 2010s. Now, however, the far-flung storylines are finally…

The Sopranos Owes a Lot to James Cagney and The Public Enemy

New DVD release
HBO’s crime family series The Sopranos wore its gangster roots like the wingtips on the hair of Paulie Walnuts (Tony Sirico). You could count on Silvio Dante (Steven van Zandt) to get pulled back into doing his Al Pacino impression from The Godfather, Part III, or punching Tony Soprano (James Gandolfini) in slow motion when the music from Raging Bull comes on a jukebox. Half the cast was in Goodfellas, and Tony often stays up late watching mob movie classics on TV. This is repeated in the prequel feature film, The Many Saints of Newark, when a young Tony is…

Star Wars: The Mandalorian Season 3 Set Photos Reveal New Mystery Character

New DVD release
The wait for the next season of The Mandalorian hasn’t been an easy one, especially after two massive cliffhangers that left the internet ablaze last December. One of those cliffhangers will be addressed in The Book of Boba Fett, which continues the story of Boba and Fennec Shand’s hostile takeover of Jabba the Hutt’s old territory on Tatooine. But the other cliffhanger — whether Din Djarin and Grogu will ever be reunited — will remain a mystery into next year. Delays due to the Covid-19 pandemic forced The Mandalorian to skip a year, but the good news is that Lucasfilm…

Doctor Who: Flux: What is Swarm and Azure’s plan?

New DVD release
Warning: contains spoilers for Doctor Who: Flux ‘War of the Sontarans’ He waited. He planned. And now, he’s going to execute. That’s what Swarm told Division Agent K-Toscs before doing exactly that and blasting her into a billion pieces of glittery cloud with the touch of his hand in ‘The Halloween Apocalypse‘. Swarm had already paralysed and drained her boss of life, absorbing her energy to fuel his revivifying ‘renewal’, and psychically fritzed his containment chamber to escape a millennia-long incarceration. All of this action was beamed direct to the Doctor’s brain via a reactivated psychic link she once shared…

Kevin Costner Almost Starred in a Different Robin Hood Movie with John McTiernan

New DVD release
It’s strange to consider 20 years later, but once upon a time studio executives were obsessed with Kevin Costner playing Robin Hood. This is ironic, of course, since Costner’s English “accent” in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves has become a meme unto itself over the decades. But nevertheless, we are still talking about his adventures in Sherwood Forest—and in what is still the last popular Robin Hood movie to make money and have an impact on pop culture. This might speak then to the logic of film producers circa 1990. And that extends beyond just those at Morgan Creek Entertainment…

How Marvel’s Eternals Succeeds Where Captain America: Civil War Failed

New DVD release
This article contains MAJOR ETERNALS spoilers. You can read our spoiler-free review of the MCU movie here. If you break Marvel’s Eternals down to a barebones premise, the latest MCU film is the story of a family that loves each other but is torn asunder by ideological differences in spite of that love. It’s one of the more topical thematic explorations in the MCU pantheon—a central tension Captain America: Civil War promised us, but never fully delivered on. Eternals isn’t about Deviants. It’s not about shepherding humanity through millennia of technological development. It’s not even about a Celestial partially emerging…

Call of Duty Vanguard: How to Fix the Most Common Bugs and Glitches

New DVD release
Call of Duty: Vanguard is here, and, in the grand tradition of most modern Call of Duty games at launch, it’s full of bugs and glitches that are haunting early adopters who couldn’t wait to grab the series’ latest installment. The annual arrival of a series of major technical problems isn’t exactly the Call of Duty franchise’s proudest tradition, but unless you’re waiting to buy Vanguard, the sad fact of the matter is that you’re going to have to deal with quite a few problems that could severely impact your ability to enjoy, or even play, the game. With that…

How Elden Ring Already Improves Modern Open World Games

New DVD release
After watching Elden Ring’s extended gameplay preview many, many times since it was unleashed last week, I’m starting to think that the much-anticipated 2022 title is already doing some things that show it will almost inevitably improve upon some of the biggest weaknesses of modern open world games. To be transparent, I will admit that I previously compared Elden Ring‘s hype to Cyberpunk 2077‘s hype, and I will stand by that warning. We should all be aware by now that there is no such thing as a guaranteed great game, and we should all prepare ourselves for the ways the…

What The Walking Dead: World Beyond’s Jadis Return Reveals About Rick Grimes

New DVD release
“I gave the CRM something very valuable and I got a new life.” As massive and fruitful as The Walking Dead franchise has been for AMC over the past eleven years, its imminently-ending mothership series has been without main character Rick Grimes since 2018’s Season 9. While the absence was a result of star Andrew Lincoln’s exit, the grievously-wounded Rick escaped expected martyrdom to be kept afloat, quite literally, via helicopter in a move that set up surprise movie projects. Now, over three years later, spinoff The Walking Dead: World Beyond has the first update on our misplaced protagonist, thanks…

Rogue Squadron Delayed: Will There Ever Be a New Star Wars Movie?

New DVD release
One of the three Star Wars movies officially in active development, Rogue Squadron, has been delayed. According to THR, the Patty Jenkins-directed project was set to begin pre-production later this year and go in front of cameras sometime in 2022. But now, per the outlet, the project is being put on the back burner because of other commitments on the part of Jenkins. It’s not clear if writer Matthew Robinson will stay attached to the movie. The unsourced quote that is sure to raise a few eyebrows is this one: “The hope is that once Jenkins fulfills her previous commitments,…
