He-Man: How Skeletor’s Meme Status Influenced Netflix Series

Netflix, New DVD release, , , ,
He-Man and the Masters of the Universe’s most popular character should be He-Man, right? His name is in the title! Anyone who’s watched almost any incarnation of the franchise though knows who the real star of the show is. Skeletor, the big bad of the series. Even if you’ve never watched an episode you’ve now doubt seen a gif rendition of Skeletor’s iconic laugh or heard his “Nyeh!” Compilations of his insults have racked up millions of views on YouTube and his face graces endless memes. The character is etched in pop culture history. Jeff Matsuda, Co-Executive Producer of the…

Brooklyn Nine-Nine’s Series Finale Makes Up for Season 8

New DVD release, , , ,
This article contains spoilers for BROOKLYN NINE-NINE season 8 episodes 9 and 10. There reaches a point where every sitcom needs to say goodbye. While many fans would be content to watch Brooklyn Nine-Nine play the hits forever — watch Jake uncover a triple cross yet again, cringe when Boyle drops another unintentional innuendo, laugh when Holt robotically delivers the newest slang term — at some point, cast and crew run out of creative steam and must move on. Brooklyn Nine-Nine attempted to stretch itself in Season 8, admirable for a series this far into its run itself, and especially…

The Mandalorian Season 3: Bo-Katan’s Darksaber Story Is Far From Over

New DVD release, , , ,
The Mandalorian season 3 might be a ways away, with shooting reportedly set to begin later this year, but that’s not stopped fans from speculating what happened next after the second season’s cliffhanger. Grogu might have left with Luke Skywalker in the season 2 finale, possibly bringing the show’s Jedi mystery to a close, but Din Djarin, Bo-Katan, and their friends still have an Imperial remnant to take down. Oh, and we can’t forget the Mandalorian drama between Bo-Katan (Katee Sackhoff) and Din (Pedro Pascal) that was just beginning to simmer before Luke showed up to take down the dark…

What We Do in the Shadows Season 3 Episode 4 Review: The Casino

New DVD release, , , ,
This What We Do in the Shadows review contains spoilers. What We Do in the Shadows Season 3 Episode 4 A coastal resort destination like Atlantic City might not seem the wisest place for a vampire to vacation, but it pays off in “The Casino.” The Staten Island vampires may be shirking their duties on the Vampiric Council, but What We Do in the Shadows  season 3 episode 4 benefits from the change in scenery. This is especially shattering for Nandor (Kayvan Novak), who learns during this episode that the world is not only round, but also not held up…

New DVD release, , , , ,
You know the gang: Star-Lord, Gamora, Drax, Rocket, Groot. The space-faring band of heroes is back in Eidos Montreal’s Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy, and once again, they’re in deep trouble. They’ve crossed the wrong warlord—the monster-collecting Lady Hellbender—and now she wants their heads. So, as per usual, Peter Quill and his ragtag team of weirdos hatch an outrageous plan to save their own skins while preventing an intergalactic war from breaking out.  As comic fans know all too well, the Marvel cosmology offers a deep well of stories, characters, and locations to pull from, and the team at Eidos…

Y: The Last Man – Why Did Yorick Survive?

New DVD release,
This article contains major spoilers for the Y: The Last Man comic and potentially the TV series. Y: The Last Man showrunner Eliza Clark knew she had found her series’ lead character when she watched actor Ben Schnetzer run lines over Zoom whilst wearing a garbage bag as a poncho.  “From the first moment I saw him, I was like, ‘That is Yorick,’” she says. “There’s a sweetness to him and a naivety to the way he played the character. You love him even when he’s being an idiot.”  Being lovable whilst also being an idiot is the defining trait…

With Lady of Caladan, Dune Finally Gives Lady Jessica the Epic She Deserves

New DVD release, , , ,
This article is sponsored by In the epic of Dune, the hero of the story might appear to be Paul Atreides, but the most powerful character in the original Frank Herbert novel is actually his mother, Lady Jessica. Although not formally married to Paul’s father Duke Leto, Jessica belongs to the order of the Bene Gesserit, a matriarchal group of telepathic pseudo-witches, who are pretty much Dune’s version of the Jedi. In the backstory of Dune, Jessica has angered her Bene Gesserit elders by disrupting their complex breeding program. Instead of having a daughter with Duke Leto — as instructed…

Denis Villeneuve Calls the MCU ‘Cut and Paste’ Movies

New DVD release, , , ,
Denis Villeneuve will soon premiere his take on Frank Herbert’s epic sci-fi novel, Dune, in the U.S. This is not only the most important film of his career, but arguably the biggest cinematic spectacle to arrive in a generation. Yet, in a now-familiar fate for would-be blockbusters, its designed awe-inspiring theatrical presentation will likely be stultified by a day-and-date streaming arrival on HBO Max. While this phenomenon has left the exhibitor industry in an existential malaise, a Marvel movie, Shang-Chi, recently bucked the downward trend by grossing an impressive $85 million in a traditionally tough four-day Labor Day weekend. However,…

Will Christopher Nolan Deal Reshape Future of Theatrical Distribution?

New DVD release, , , , ,
Like most things Christopher Nolan does these days, his historic deal with Universal Pictures is big. We’re still learning the finer details of this new business relationship which will give the world Nolan’s next film based on the life J. Robert Oppenheimer, the remorseful father of the atomic bomb, but thanks to The Hollywood Reporter, the biggest elements are coming into focus. In addition to securing a theatrical release and a $100 million (or so) budget for the “smaller” Nolan picture, the filmmaker behind Inception, Tenet, and The Dark Knight Trilogy also demanded his next studio put up an equally…

Is Jeopardy! Finally Preparing Ken Jennings for the Hosting Job?

New DVD release, , , ,
What if the right Jeopardy! host was the obvious choice all along? Sony Pictures Television, the studio behind Jeopardy!, announced today that two guest hosts will see the beloved quiz show institution through to the end of the calendar year, following the ousting of the former executive producer and the show’s (poor) choice to replace Alex Trebek, Mike Richards. Former guest host Mayim Bialik, who has already secured a job hosting primetime Jeopardy! specials, will begin her next guest hosting stint on September 20 and end it the first week of November, for seven weeks total. Ken Jennings, the undisputed…

Unforgiven: Clint Eastwood’s True Last Western Remains One of the Greatest

New DVD release, , , , ,
As he glancingly returns to the genre with his new film, Cry Macho, it’s worth taking a look at the last Western that Clint Eastwood made, 1992’s Unforgiven. While he’s circled back to certain themes and concepts endemic to the Western in films since then, Unforgiven was his last film specifically and explicitly set in the Old West and was — as he said at the time — his final word on the subject. Eastwood has pretty much stayed true to that, even as Unforgiven stands nearly 30 years later as a masterpiece in its own right and arguably one…

10 Best Games to Play After Deathloop

New DVD release, ,
Arkane Studio’s Deathloop is one of the year’s best games as well as one of the studio’s most complete, fascinating, and unmissable titles yet. Of course, it’s also a relatively short game that many will be able to beat after about 15 hours of losing themselves in it. So if you’ve just beaten Deathloop (or if you haven’t had a chance to play it yet due to the game’s PS5 and PC exclusivity), you may be wondering what comes next. Well, it thankfully turns out that there is an elite selection of games out there which either share quite a…

Riverdale Creates Its Own Church Because Why Not?

New DVD release, , ,
This Riverdale review contains spoilers. Riverdale Season 5 Episode 16 “Being canonized has always been one of my life’s goals.” And so it came to pass that Cheryl Blossom turned water into maple syrup. Goddamn Riverdale is glorious trash. In what is either very subtle marketing for The Eyes of Tammy Faye or just the best direction this show has taken since everyone was hopped up on Jingle Jangle, the Blossom family’s “Church of Jason” antics came into sharp focus this week. Although relegated to a B or C plot, this plotline — which works equally well as a satire…

Link Tank: The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air Remake Cast Has Been Announced

New DVD release, , ,
The cast of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air remake has been announced and it’s full of fine actors, but there’s no way they’ll live up to the original crew, right? “The remake, called Bel-Air, is going to be a serialized one-hour dramatic “analog” of the original. The new take is meant to lean into the darker side of the premise: Will moving from the dangerous streets of West Philadelphia (born and raised) to the rich world of Bel-Air.” Read more at The Mary Sue Marvel star Anthony Mackie is set to lead a Twisted Metal TV adaptation based on the…

Squid Game Doesn’t Waste Its Brutal Premise

New DVD release, , , ,
This Squid Game review is based on the first two episodes. It contains minor spoilers. Squid Game uses a premise we’ve all seen before: People are thrown into an artificial arena where they must fight for their lives. In Netflix‘s new series, the arena is a massive, secret compound; the competition is a series of children’s games; and the people are 456 contestants who desperately need the ₩45.6billion ($39 million) prize money more than they need the illusion of safety the outside world periodically provides. Some competitors, like central protagonist Ki-hoon (Lee Jung-jae), have fallen into debt, compounded by a…

Copshop Sees Joe Carnahan Perfect His Quentin Tarantino Impression

New DVD release, , , , ,
Joe Carnahan’s Tarantino impression, the same one he’s been tweaking since Narc and Smokin’ Aces, has never been closer to the genuine article as it is in his latest, Copshop. The gnarly throwback crime thriller has all the tenets of the most famous ‘70s-worshipping auteur; a grooving, percussive soundtrack, chatty lead characters, unhurried pacing, and trigger-happy scumbags who populate this pulpy, shoot ‘em up B-movie that will leave genre fans pleased as punch.  This deceptively knotty copsploitation flick finds scuzzy Vegas fixer Teddy Muretto (Frank Grillo) on the run after he flips on his high-profile clients. With professional hitman Bob…

Star Trek Canon Wants Justice For Tasha Yar

New DVD release, , ,
This Star Trek article contains minor spoilers for Lower Decks Season 2, Episode 6. Tasha Yar deserved better. When the oil slick creature known as Armus killed off Tasha in The Next Generation episode “Skin of Evil,” the fandom let out a collective groan. As its first season wrapped up, TNG was already down one fantastic character and the franchise wouldn’t get another female head-of-security on a regular basis until Nhan appeared in Star Trek: Discovery, 31 years later. But, like some kind of self-aware rogue A.I., the canon of Star Trek itself seems to want justice for Tasha Yar.…

The Secrets of Marvel’s Eternals

New DVD release, ,
This article contains Eternals spoilers. It’s not hard, when a Captain America or an Iron Man movie hits, for Marvel to have a comic on shelves that new fans can be pointed toward as an accessible way to get to know the characters. The same can’t be said for The Eternals. In a lot of ways, Jack Kirby’s most bizarre creations – god-like beings, created by the all-powerful Celestials to do battle with the deformed, wild Deviants – have endured despite their relative scarcity. The sum total of what can be reasonably called Eternals stories only runs to about 50…

American Horror Story Double Feature Delves Into New Motherhood Nightmares In ‘Gaslight’

New DVD release, , , , , ,
This American Horror Story: Double Feature review contains spoilers. American Horror Story Season 10 Episode 5 As the story picks up steam, American Horror Story taps into some pretty classic horror tropes yet again to enrich its story. One of the things that initially caught my eye about the series when it first hit the airwaves ten years ago was the way in which the show was clearly written by horror fans and went out of its way to reward horror fans with little Easter eggs. Maybe it’s a shot from a classic movie. Maybe it’s a snippet of a…
