How Tom Hardy’s Venom Finally Made the Character a Superhero

New DVD release
For decades, Marvel has been confused about what to do with Venom. While one of their more marketable characters, the company has never been sure what his deal is. Is he a villain, blinded by his own failures and driven mad? Is he a self-described hero, trying to use his status to justify his endless bloodlust? Is he the hulking agent of a corrupt Avengers, existing as a monstrous alien costume controlling a pathetic criminal too desperate for relevance? Is he a handicapped war hero trying to live up to Spider-Man’s example by using the violent symbiote as a weapon…

Buffy the Vampire Slayer’s Scariest Moment

New DVD release
Clearly, it’s the Gentlemen from ‘Hush’. Anybody who says there’s a scarier moment in Buffy the Vampire Slayer than the Gentlemen from ‘Hush’ hovering around Sunnydale on their invisible skateboards of the damned, gesturing like jewellery models in a trade show booth, is plain wrong. At a push, you could make a case for the warthog-tusked Der Kindestod sucking the life out of sick kids in ‘Killed By Death’; or for dead-sofa-Joyce getting choked by the gimp demon in ‘Conversations With Dead People’, but really, for scariness, it’s the Gentlemen isn’t it?  Isn’t it?  That depends. There’s another moment that, every rewatch,…

The Divisive Power of American Horror Story, Ten Years on

New DVD release
Some days, it’s hard to be a Ryan Murphy fan. The minute American Horror Story comes up, people have a knee-jerk reaction. It’s either love or hate, no in-between. And that’s been going on for a decade now.  But there must be some grotesque alchemy behind this lifespan. Many horror TV series have never quite achieved the liftoff and cultural imprint that AHS has. In 2011, when the first season premiered, the only horror-themed TV show on a major network was The Walking Dead. While there is a rich and under-explored tradition of anthology horror shows (Masters of Horror, The…

A24’s Lamb Is a Twisted Family Movie Joy

New DVD release
It’s the briefest of pauses—the moment where Noomi Rapace’s Maria becomes totally besotted with the sheep-human hybrid at the heart of Valdimar Jóhannsson’s Lamb. In the dark of night, and at the tail end of a new crop of sheep being born, Maria and her husband Ingvar (Hilmir Snær Guðnason) have welcomed into this world any number of baby lambs, each being lovingly licked and doted on by their mothers. And yet, when the final creature to be born turns out to be not quite lamb, nor quite human, it takes only an instant for Rapace to decide she’ll claim…

Jeopardy!: Matt Amodio’s Run Reveals Just How Impressive James Holzhauer Was

New DVD release
Current Jeopardy! champion Matt Amodio reached a very important milestone last week. By winning his 33rd consecutive game on Friday, the Yale Ph.D. student moved into second place all-time in consecutive wins, just ahead of James Holzhauer and 41 games behind the Jeopardy! GOAT Ken Jennings.  Amodio’s streak has been both incredibly impressive and a genuinely important bit of stability for the venerated quiz show undergoing a hosting crisis. In fact, when Amodio made his first TV appearance since the streak began on Monday morning’s episode of Good Morning America, two former Jeopardy! guest hosts were among his interviewers: Robin…

Venom: Let There Be Carnage – What Happened to the Cop Mulligan

New DVD release
This article contains big Venom: Let There Be Carnage spoilers. If you’ve scrolled around the internet in the last day or two, you might’ve seen folks talking about a little movie called Venom: Let There Be Carnage. With the superhero sequel breaking box office records over the weekend, and ending on a cliffhanger that seems to tease we’ll finally get some proper Spider-Man on symbiote action in the MCU, there’s a lot out there for genre fans to unpack. Yet one of the most curious mysteries about Eddie Brock’s cinematic battle with Cletus Kasady is the literal carnage it left…

The Guilty and Understanding Why Joe Did What He Did

Netflix, New DVD release
This article contains major spoilers for The Guilty. You can read our spoiler-free review here. In Antoine Fuqua’s new Netflix film, The Guilty, Jake Gyllenhaal stars as Joe Baylor, a police officer forced to work in a Los Angeles Emergency Call Center due to an ongoing investigation into misconduct that occurred while Baylor was on the job. The film gives us scarce details about what went down, with Joe’s ex-partner Rick and his former sergeant alluding to a court date, as well as a reporter from the Los Angeles Times repeatedly calling Joe for comment, but no one spells out…

Ben Affleck Opens Up About Batman Return in The Flash Movie

New DVD release
It’s hardly a secret at this point: The Flash movie will see the return of not just one Batman but two. The first is Michael Keaton, who makes a shocking comeback as the original big-screen Dark Knight, this time to mentor Ezra Miller’s Barry Allen during the speedster’s adventure through the DC multiverse. It’s unexpected, to say the least. But even more surprising is the fact that Ben Affleck is also reprising his role as the DCEU’s Caped Crusader for another go at the character he initially left behind just a few short years ago after 2017’s troubled Justice League.…

New World: Bricked GPU Causes and How to Prevent Them

New DVD release
Reports of New World “bricking” certain GPUs have many PC gamers with high-end graphics cards wondering if it’s even safe to start playing Amazon’s hit MMO. If this all sounds a little familiar, that’s because the first reports of New World bricking certain GPU models started to appear during the game’s recent closed beta period. At that time, the New World team issued a statement in which they assured users that these failures were statistically rare and that they had decided to “cap” the game’s menu framerate as a precaution to help prevent further issues. Shortly thereafter, GPU manufacturer EVGA…

Daniel Craig Calls Quantum of Solace “A Bit of a Shit-Show”

New DVD release
Daniel Craig takes his final bow as James Bond in the U.S. this week with No Time to Die, which marks the end of a 15-year run as MI6’s foremost secret agent. While that time has seen Craig reach many highs as the character, there have also definitely been some lows. The talented and outspoken actor has never minced words about those lows, either. When asked by Time Out in 2015 whether he’d consider doing another Bond film just days after completing the Spectre shoot, Craig infamously replied, “Now? I’d rather break this glass and slash my wrists. No, not…

The Simpsons Season 33 Episode 2 Review: Bart’s in Jail!

New DVD release
This The Simpsons review contains spoilers. The Simpsons Season 33 Episode 2 Wow, how The Simpsons have fallen. It seems like only season 8’s “Lisa’s Date with Density” since Homer practically invented robocall scams, and now that Grandpa gets the episodic titular call “Bart’s in Jail!” they want us to feel bad about it. The Simpsons family is partially to blame, and they don’t get off so easily. The last time they pulled something like this, Homer had to call everyone he harmed, personally, and apologize. He did it with his AT-5000 Auto-dialer, Professor Frink’s first patent. It seems like…

Venom 2’s Post Credits Scene Almost Didn’t Happen

New DVD release
This article contains major VENOM: LET THERE BE CARNAGE spoilers. Venom: Let There Be Carnage not only enjoyed a $90.1 million domestic box office opening, but—as viewers who stayed behind for the credits found out—it successfully lived up to its titular declaration far beyond an eponymous villain. Indeed, the sequel’s post-credits scene not only set a vexed Tom Hardy’s Eddie Brock toward his next big screen exploits, but gave the Sony-spun Marvel franchise the Spider-Man-connected christening it had long required. However, it seems that a bit of happenstance helped the scene’s inclusion in the film. If there is one immediate…

Squid Game Season 2 Could Center the Front Man

Netflix, New DVD release
This Squid Game article contains MAJOR spoilers. One of the most intriguing unanswered questions in Squid Game‘s nine episodes is how Front Man In-ho, revealed to be not only rogue undercover cop Jun-ho’s missing brother but also a previous winner of Squid Game, went from a desperate contestant in the deadly competition to an active part of its execution. Now that the Korean social horror has become the most-watched original Netflix series ever, there’s a good chance we could get another installment of Squid Game sometime in the future. And, while creator Hwang Dong-hyuk did not set out with the…

New World: Is Amazon’s MMO Coming to Consoles?

New DVD release
New World is quickly becoming the biggest (and most divisive) PC game of 2021, but when is Amazon’s hit MMO coming to consoles and mobile devices? Well, according to New World‘s developers, the odds for a console/mobile port of New World are pretty much non-existent at the moment. In fact, it sounds like the New World team genuinely hasn’t even started to seriously consider the possibility of such ports. “[Consoles are] not something we’ve specced or considered yet,” said New World director Scot Lane in an interview with Eurogamer. “I love console development, I’ve made a lot of console games,…

Squid Game Questions Season 2 Could Answer

Netflix, New DVD release
Squid Game came into our lives as a strange and complicated mystery, one we’re enjoying obsessively poring over for every last detail. Even as Netflix’s South Korean contemporary social horror series revealed secrets in the final episodes, they only brought about bigger questions surrounding the game’s origin, Il-nam’s relationship to the game, how the game continues to operate with impunity, and what might happen next. While there’s no indication there will be a second season of the show, here are some of the biggest questions Squid Game left hanging after nine episodes. How does Squid Game work globally? The fact that…

Link Tank: Squid Game Memes Are Taking Over The Internet

New DVD release
Squid Game memes are running wild online, but they don’t prepare you for the brutality of the show if you haven’t seen it. “Every now and then a series comes along that feels like the entire Internet is watching it at the same time. Such is the case with Squid Game, a Korean thriller that premiered on Netflix on September 17th. According to NBC News, the hashtag for the series has been viewed 22.8 billion times on TikTok and is well on the way to becoming Netflix’s biggest non-English language show in the world.” Read more at The Mary Sue…

In Defense of Spectre: Daniel Craig’s Last James Bond Is Better Than You Remember

New DVD release
It’s hard to believe that it’s been six years since the release of the last James Bond movie. The gap even ties the near fatal six-year distance between Licence to Kill and GoldenEye. But it’s true, Spectre came out in 2015. And as we stand on the cusp of its follow-up, No Time to Die, finally arriving in theaters after a delay of 18 months, it’s strange to think back to the arrival of Spectre, and the polarizing response it received. The last James Bond movie to star Daniel Craig still sits with a 63 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes,…

Bruce Campbell Won’t Deny Doctor Strange 2 Cameo

New DVD release
Bruce Campbell has partnered with filmmaker Sam Raimi for years. At the beginning of their careers, they worked together on The Evil Dead straight out of college. Much later in Raimi’s blockbuster entertainments, be it the Spider-Man trilogy or Oz the Great and Powerful, Campbell still cameoed. Which makes it strange when the actor grows tightlipped at the mention of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. That Benedict Cumberbatch superhero movie is being directed by Sam Raimi, marking the filmmaker’s first superhero picture since Spider-Man 3 and his first collaboration with Marvel Studios, period. So the movie invariably came…

Creepshow: Greg Nicotero Unpacks the Skeletons in His Closet

New DVD release
For more than 35 years, Greg Nicotero has not only played in a lot of sandboxes within the horror genre, he built the toys that go inside. When he talks about the work of John Carpenter, Don Coscarelli, Sam Raimi, and George Romero, he’s not doing so only as a fan, but as a colleague. As a special makeup effects artist who evolved into a director and executive producer he doesn’t only get to tell the stories he wants to, he can pay homage to the films and filmmakers he admires. Though that admiration has been on display for years…

Endeavour Theory: Has Morse Already Crossed Paths With Nemesis Hugo de Vries?

New DVD release
Warning: contains spoilers for Endeavour Series 7 and Inspector Morse episode ‘Masonic Mysteries’. There’s a beauty to mystery that could hardly be lost on fans of Endeavour, a series with playfulness in its bones, as evidenced by its regular tips of the hat to pop culture and Morse creator Colin Dexter. The show’s viewers understand that ambiguities deliberately positioned as such should be allowed to stand, unaccosted by any fun-sucking need for certainty. We’re not here to unweave rainbows or clip angel wings.   That said, Endeavour does love a game, and its fans love to play along. So while appreciating that some things…
