Link Tank: Is Tom Hardy Teasing a Venom Appearance in Spider-Man: No Way Home?

New DVD release
Tom Hardy wore a Spider-Man: No Way Home hat, which means he has to be in the movie, right? Right?! “Tom Hardy was wearing a Spider-Man: No Way Home hat, though… I think? You have to zoom in on the pic to tell what it says. Hardy isn’t alone in the picture, sitting next to him is Lin Oeding (director of Cobra Kai and, for the purposes of this theory, stunt coordinator of Spider-Man: Homecoming). The picture was tweeted by Marvel Updates, and while they credit the account Spider-Man Brasil, that account credits Oeding himself.” Read more at The Mary…

Netflix’s He-Man Isn’t for Parents, It’s For a New Generation

Netflix, New DVD release
The Masters of the Universe franchise is experiencing a major resurgence, with three new series on Netflix after a drought of animated content after the 2002 MOTU series ended in 2004. The new era has been an altogether unexpected one for the franchise. Leading off with a new version of She-Ra, a character not seen in animation since the ‘80s, the show boldly aimed its stories at a new and more diverse group of viewers. Even with its eschewing of direct connections to He-Man the show delighted in its references and use of the wider MOTU mythology. Then we got…

15 Best NES Games of All Time

New DVD release
The Nintendo Entertainment System is the most important console in the history of home gaming. After the video game industry crash of 1983 and several years of arcade success, many still wondered whether video games still had a place in homes everywhere. Then, almost out of nowhere, Nintendo and the NES rescued our favorite hobby from the abyss and put it on the fast track to becoming the cultural cornerstone we know it as today.  The main reason for the NES’ massive success story was its enormous library of great titles. Many of Nintendo’s long-standing franchises got their starts on…

The Walking Dead Season 11 Episode 5 Review: Out of the Ashes

New DVD release
This The Walking Dead review contains spoilers. The Walking Dead Season 11 Episode 5 One of the appeals of the post-apocalyptic world of The Walking Dead is that there’s no real government except that which is chosen by the people locally. There aren’t people a thousand miles away telling you how to live your life, what you can and cannot do. That’s why you can have democracies like Alexandria existing right next door to death cults like The Whisperers, oligarchies like The Saviors right next to survival of the fittest bands like The Wolves, and why a return to the…

Emmys 2021: Complete List of Winners

New DVD release
Television’s biggest night is finally here! No, it’s not the M*A*S*H finale or any of the three Super Bowls Tom Brady lost – it’s the 2021 Emmy Awards ceremony. This is the second Emmys in a row under pop culture’s new normal. The pandemic still trudges along and television now occupies a particularly prominent space in many households While the 2020 Emmy Awards went virtual, this year’s ceremony will be in-person at Los Angeles’s Microsoft Theater and hosted by Cedric the Entertainer. Hopefully the return to a big ballroom will provide plenty of elbow room for a jam-packed list of…

Endeavour Series 8 Episode 2 Review: Morse Haunted by Ghosts of His Past

New DVD release
Endeavour Series 8 Episode 2: ‘Scherzo’ Warning: this Endeavour review contains spoilers. For those of us who don’t share Morse’s musical bent – and we’ll be due a snooty glare from our man Endeavour, as his wicked(ish) stepmother Gwen (Lynda Rooke) would no doubt be the first to warn us – a word on that episode title is needed. A scherzo’s a movement in a symphony or sonata distinguished by its light, playful tone. Bit of fun on writer Russell Lewis’s part, surely? Well, yes and no.  ‘Light’ and ‘playful’ aren’t words we’d always associate with Endeavour, especially in the current series,…

Vigil Episode 5 Review: You’ve Got Some Nerve, Agent!

New DVD release
Warning: contains Vigil Episode 5 spoilers. What’s worse – drowning in your own sweat in a drysuit, or drowning in seawater in a torpedo tube? DCI Silva’s in the rare position of being about to find out, having survived the first scenario only to land herself straight in the second. If she gets out of this one, oh, the pub stories she’ll have to tell! Not that you can imagine Silva holding court on a bar stool, one licked finger in the crumbs of a packet of Cheddar and Onion McCoys, the other demonstrating how close she came to inhaling…

Evil Season 2: Is the Evil Gene Part of Kristen’s DNA?

New DVD release
This Evil review contains spoilers. Evil Season 2 Episode 10 The supernatural investigative team at the center of Evil finally focuses its attention on the one almost-constant element in their probes: the clinic they believe is corrupting fertilized eggs. They believe RSM Fertility is a front for diabolical masters, working behind the scenes to bring about a dark future ruled by a malevolent generation of engineered children. The clinic has been helping women get pregnant for several years, and one of their first clients was Dr. Kristen Brouchard (Katja Herbers). She was so early in the fertility facility’s operations, the…

My Hero Academia Season 5 Episode 24 Review – Tomura Shigaraki: Origin

New DVD release
This My Hero Academia review contains spoilers. My Hero Academia Season 5 Episode 24 “I wonder if this itch would have stopped…” Hey, remember when this was a show about plucky heroes? Picking up on the powerful revelations and themes that the previous episode “Tenko Shimura: Origin” establishes, “Tomura Shigaraki: Origin” continues that chilling story in order to tell the grander narrative of the Symbol of Fear’s birth. This episode is a heartbreaking look into Shigaraki’s first steps as a villain that’s contrasted with his current destructive war against the Meta Liberation Army. In the previous episode, Re-Destro teases that…

Can No Time to Die Break the Final James Bond Movie Curse?

New DVD release
Daniel Craig’s tenure as James Bond is coming to an end. This truth has been known ever since it was announced that Craig would reprise the role in No Time to Die, his fifth outing as 007. And yet, given the litany of delays that movie has endured largely due to the pandemic—remember when No Time to Die was slated for November 2019?—the reality of his leaving feels like it’s been almost taken for granted. The curtain really is coming down this month for UK fans, and the No Time to Die marketing team is now making folks aware of…

15 Best PlayStation One RPGs Ever Made

New DVD release
In our look at the best Super Nintendo RPGs ever, we mentioned that the SNES is arguably the greatest RPG console in video game history. Well, if there is a console that makes that discussion an argument, it would have to be the PlayStation One.  With a lot of help from Square, Sony quickly established the PlayStation as not just the home of incredible RPG experiences but as a console that was capable of effectively convincing people who previously had no real interest in RPGs that they absolutely needed to devote 50+ hours of their life to the next gaming…

Star Trek: How Dr. Pulaski Helped The Next Generation Find Its Feet

New DVD release
This Star Trek article contains minor spoilers for The Next Generation Season 2 and Lower Decks. If you’ve been watching Star Trek: Lower Decks, then you’ve probably noticed that Dr. T’Ana is clearly based on the notorious Dr. Pulaski from Star Trek: The Next Generation. It’s not that Gillian Vigman is trying to channel the performance of Diana Muldaur—because she’s clearly doing her own thing—so much as the entire vibe of Dr. T’Ana is as though our collective opinions about Dr. Pulaski were channeled into a cranky, sentient cat-alien. Pulaski was human, but if you were going to reboot the…

Squid Game Ending Explained

New DVD release
This SQUID GAME article contains MAJOR spoilers. For a series with a relatively well-worn premise, Netflix’s Squid Game sure does manage to pack a lot of surprises into its conclusion. It does this in large part by recognizing that the series’ success hinges not so much on who wins the game, but on how they win it and what it all means. Like the show’s beginning, much of Squid Game‘s final hour is set outside the world of the arena—this time, a year following the events of the bulk of the show. Let’s break down what happens in the Squid…

Squid Game: What Could Season 2 Look Like?

New DVD release, ,
This Squid Game article contains MAJOR spoilers. Squid Game is one of the best original series to come to Netflix in a long time. The story of a deadly competition in which 456 people try to win ₩45.6billion ($39 million) in a series of life-or-death children’s games, the class parable is as devastating to watch as it is addicting and, should it do well, there’s a chance Netflix could greenlight another season of the Korean drama. While there has been no official word yet on if a second season will happen, given Netflix’s growing presence and investment in Korea, it’s…

Deathloop Shows Difficulty Settings Aren’t Just For Gamers Who Want “Easy Modes”

New DVD release, , , , ,
I loved Deathloop despite its various flaws, but the one thing I keep going back to whenever I think back to my time with the game is its lack of traditional difficulty settings and how the absence of those options really highlights why it feels like more and more people have been calling for optional difficulty settings in recent years. Aside from allowing you to determine whether Julianna’s invasions are controlled by other players or the A.I., there’s really no direct way to alter how difficult Deathloop will be. It’s pretty much a one-size-fits-all experience where the “difficulty” of the…

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Much will be written about the finale of the Daniel Craig era of the James Bond 007 franchise in the next few weeks, as No Time to Die prepares to hit theaters, but the actor was looking to the past during a brief farewell speech to the cast and crew. “A lot of people here worked on five pictures with me, and I know there’s a lot of things said about what I think about these films or all of those whatever. But I loved every single second of these movies, and especially this one, because I got up every…

The Matrix 4 “Describes the Next 20 Years of Digital Life”

New DVD release, , ,
Even after the trippy and action-packed trailer dropped our first look at this new era of The Matrix, the fourth installment in the cyberpunk film franchise remains an unsolvable puzzle box. We certainly tried to decode the trailer for answers in our breakdown and analysis, but there’s so much that remains a mystery. How are Neo and Trinity back from the dead? Is this supposed to be a new version of the Matrix? Was Zion just another simulation all along? Why is there a new, younger Morpheus? While director and co-writer Lana Wachowski isn’t giving away any of the answers,…

Nicolas Cage Goes Full Nicolas Cage in Prisoners of the Ghostland

New DVD release, ,
Ever since his late ‘90s heyday when he swapped chins with John Travolta in Face/Off and grew a mullet to take on John Malkovich in Con Air, Nicolas Cage has been trading off his reputation as an actor capable of delivering his own special brand of crazy to the screen. The past five years though have seen him kick the crazy into high gear with a string of gloriously inventive movies that have one thing in common: Cage, front and center, losing his shit. Mom and Dad, Mandy, Color Out of Space, and Willy’s Wonderland have been the notable highlights…

Link Tank: Sung Kang Will Weild a Lightsaber in Obi-Wan Kenobi

We’re not sure if he was allowed to say this much, but The Fast Saga star Sung Kang gave us some major clues to who he might be playing in Obi-Wan Kenobi. “Actor Sung Kang revealed to Screen Rant his mysterious character in the upcoming Obi-Wan Kenobi series carries his own lightsaber, lending credence to previous rumors that the Fasts and Furious actor would play a member of the Imperial Inqusitiorius.” Read more at Gizmodo In honor of his 40th birthday, here are the greatest Donkey Kong games ever made. “Nintendo didn’t make much noise about it, but the Donkey…

Edgar Wright Is Bored With ‘Endless Oxygen Taken Up By Talk of Streaming’

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Last Night in Soho is finally being released at the end of October. In theaters. It’s the culmination of a long road for the movie’s singular writer-director, Edgar Wright, and one he’s had a hand in personally guiding. When we sat down to talk with Wright in August, the director behind such electric classics as Shaun of the Dead, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, and the bonafide blockbuster Baby Driver tells us he’s been championing an October 2021 release date for some time, believing his first full-throated horror movie would have its best chance to be seen in a cinema…
