Call of Duty Vanguard Beta Start Time: When Does the Beta Start?

The Call of Duty: Vanguard open beta is here! Shooter fans who weren’t able to participate in the alpha will finally get a chance to try out the game’s multiplayer the next two weekends ahead of the full release in October. Several multiplayer modes and maps will be on tap for the open beta. You’ll be able to jump into the new mode Patrol, which is similar to Hardpoint but where the control point never stops moving along the map, meaning you won’t just be able to camp out in one spot if you want to win. You’ll have to…

What We Do in the Shadows Season 3: Harvey Guillén Wants Buffy to Train Guillermo

This article contains spoilers for What We Do in the Shadows season 3 episode 3. Things have changed for the Staten Island vampires on What We Do in the Shadows season 3 as they step into positions of power. This may not make much of a difference for Colin Robinson (Mark Proksch), whose new job as secretary of the Vampiric Council, is much like his fake job, at a cubicle in an office. But Laszlo (Matt Berry) may spend a little more in the potting shed. His love Nadja (Natasia Demetriou), is running the council, along with Nandor (Kayvan Novak),…

Empire of the Vampire Makes Vampires Scary Again

This article is sponsored by As a species, humans have more or less always been obsessed with vampires. (The earliest references to blood-drinking creatures date back to ancient Mesopotamia, believe it or not.) But the way we relate to these creatures has shifted throughout the centuries, as legends, folklore, and popular culture have adapted to the needs and fears specific to respective societies.  Published in 1897, Bram Stoker’s Dracula may have sparked a particular vein of horror story that continues to this day (looking at you, American Horror Story: Double Feature), but Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire, published in…

Halloween Kills Shifts to Day and Date Streaming Release on Peacock

This is going to cut movie theater owners as deeply as, well, Michael Myers after he leaves the kitchenware aisle. Universal Pictures announced with little pomp or fanfare on Thursday that David Gordon Green and Jamie Lee Curtis’ long anticipated follow-up to their 2018 Halloween reboot, Halloween Kills, will now premiere simultaneously in theaters and on the NBC-Universal streaming service, Peacock. The shift does not mean Halloween Kills has been delayed again. In fact, it is now certain to open in theaters on Oct. 15. However, it will also be available for streaming (and presumably online piracy) on the exact…

Star Wars KOTOR: The PS5 Exclusive Sony Needed

We heard rumors that Sony’s PlayStation Showcase was going to be a big event, but we never imagined that they would kick off the show by confirming that the long-awaited Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake from developer Aspyr will be a timed PS5 exclusive. Yes, in case you haven’t heard, Aspyr is not only taking on the tall task of remaking BioWare’s beloved 2003 RPG (and the greatest Star Wars game ever made) Knights of the Old Republic, but Lead Producer Ryan Treadwell has since confirmed that the game will be a “console exclusive on PlayStation 5…

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2: Is Venom a Villain or Playable Antihero?

As if the recent PlayStation showcase couldn’t have just shown us the Star Wars: KOTOR remake and God of War: Ragnarok trailer and called it a day, Sony had to go one step further and give us an early glimpse at Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 that ended with a brief look at what figures to be one of the game’s biggest new characters, Venom. Now, some are already suggesting that Venom is the one narrating that new trailer, but based on the accent and dialog, it seems more likely that’s actually an unseen Kraven the Hunter. Besides, there’s a voice change…

God of War Ragnarok Will End the Norse Saga, But What Mythology Comes Next?

The PlayStation team finally revealed the first full trailer for God of War: Ragnarok and…well, this really is one of those times when you’ve just got to see the thing for yourself rather than take our word on the matter. That’s a simply incredible trailer that warrants multiple rewatches by virtue of its visual splendor alone, but before we dive into what absolutely everything in that trailer could mean for the upcoming game, we have to talk about something that was said outside of the trailer during a post-show interview with the Ragnarok team. There, the God of War team…

The Matrix 4 Trailer Breakdown: Neo, Trinity, Morpheus, and…Smith?!

The moment Matrix fans have been waiting for has finally arrived. The next chapter of Neo, Trinity, and Morpheus’ story is almost here and Warner Bros. has a trailer to prove it. It’s an action-packed first look at Resurrections, a sequel that seems to take the franchise in new directions, and introduces quite a few new mysteries to the already complex lore of The Matrix, all accompanied by Jefferson Airplane’s “White Rabbit.” While it refreshingly plays things very close to the chest at a time when most trailers give away 2/3 of the plot, I’ve tried my best to dissect…

Steve from Blue’s Clues Reminds Us Why Children’s TV Matters

What makes a great children’s TV show?  Is it the colorful aesthetic of the world on-screen? Is it the funny voices of the cartoons and the playful interactions they have with one another? It’s all that but it’s also more. Good children’s shows understand that young ones are intelligent enough to grapple with concepts like right and wrong, friendship, family, and what it means to be creative. Kids are far more shrewd than adults give them credit for, therefore making a program for an age group that we have been out of touch with for decades presents a myriad of…

The Matrix Resurrections: Did Neo Choose to Be Plugged Back In?

Something tells us you may have heard that the trailer for the next installment of a certain beloved 1999 sci-fi action film arrived today. Ah hell, let’s just watch the trailer for The Matrix Resurrections again right now. Yep, still pretty cool. All of Den of Geek’s sentinels are hard at work in Machine City right now breaking down every inch of new Matrix Resurrections footage. In the meantime, however, there’s one urgent question that needs to be addressed. How did Neo (Keanu Reeves) make it back into The Matrix anyway? The trailer leaves no confusion that when the fourth…

Josie and The Pussycats is the Spinoff Riverdale Deserves

This RIVERDALE review contains spoilers. Riverdale Season 5 Episode 15 “Our story is about three young women bursting with talent.” When last we saw Josie McCoy (Ashleigh Murray), she was in New York City trying to make her dreams come true on the ill-fated (and gone-too-soon) Riverdale spin-off Katy Keene. Often when characters are spun-off and their subsequent shows fail, they vanish into the pop culture ether — The Ropers from Three’s Company being the textbook case of this phenomenon. But not so for Josie. This latest episode debuts a new iteration of the character, one who has achieved her…

Link Tank: Don’t Look Up Has an Absolutely Insane Cast

THIS. CAST. Adam Mckay has assembled a true dream team for his latest film Don’t Look Up. “Perhaps Adam McKay saw the Knives Out 2 casting announcements and said ‘hold my beer’ because his casting for his Netflix film Don’t Look Up is pretty incredible: Meryl Streep, Jennifer Lawrence, Leonardo DiCaprio, Timothée Chalamet, Jonah Hill, Chris Evans, Cate Blanchett, Ariana Grande, Scott Mescudi (Kid Cudi), Tyler Perry, and tons of other names that will make you say, ‘wait, they’re in this movie too?'” Read more at The A.V. Club Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings star Meng’er Zhang…

The Matrix 4 Trailer Song White Rabbit Has Cut Holes in Reality for Years

Red pills, white pills, taller, small, or blue. The Matrix Resurrections trailer offers so many choices, possibilities, and questions that our head is already hurting again. Is Thomas Anderson, aka Neo (Keanu Reeves), stuck in the same old machine, or is this a new Neo wearing John Wick’s beard? Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss) is in her own wonderland. We can’t trust the psychiatrist that Neil Patrick Harris is playing. The Matrix 4 trailer sends us chasing a “White Rabbit.”  When logic and proportion have fallen sloppy dead, you have to ask Alice. You can watch the trailer here: Lana Wachowski’s follow-up…

Is Wario the Ultimate Nintendo Fanboy?

WarioWare: Get It Together! not only revives one of Nintendo’s most enjoyable pick-up-and-play experiences but reminds us that Wario has managed to become far more popular over the years than Nintendo seemingly ever intended. We don’t want to remind you of SNL episode where Elon Musk dressed as Wario, but here we are.  Indeed, it’s doubtful Wario was ever supposed to be little more than Mario’s “Star Trek-esque” evil doppelganger. I mean…just look at the guy. His trademark symbol is essentially an upside-down “M” and the origins of his name roughly translate to “bad Mario.” He initially appears to be…

Star Trek Just Dropped a Huge Clue About Kirk & Spock’s “Missing” Year

This Star Trek: Lower Decks article contains spoilers for Season 2, Episode 5, “An Embarrassment of Dooplers.” The first year of Kirk’s five-year-mission on the Enterprise is mostly missing. Although several non-canon sources have taken a stab at the moment when Kirk first took command from Pike—notably the 1986 Vonda N. McIntyre novel Enterprise: The First Adventure and the 1985 DC Comics story “The First Mission”—the  actual non-book Trek canon has almost nothing. Basically, our knowledge of how the year 2265 shook out for Kirk and Spock is very limited. However, a sweet little Easter egg in Star Trek: Lower…

What’s It Like to Be on Netflix’s The Circle?

This article contains spoilers for The Circle season 3 episodes 1-4. Long the bread and butter of network television, reality competition TV shows have become increasingly popular on streaming platforms. And why wouldn’t they? Reality television is usually cheaper to produce than scripted TV series and audiences tend to like unscripted content just as much anyway. Plus, if the past few years have taught us nothing else, it’s that there’s some truth in the notion that reality is often stranger than fiction. Netflix, in particular, has found itself in the reality competition TV game more and more. Nailed It!, Blown…

Doctor Who: Ranking the Master Stories – Which is the Best?

Roger Delgado looms large over the character of the Master, being simultaneously influential and something of an anomaly: Delgado played the role with a debonair front, but since his death, the character has been less urbane and more desperate, manic and violent. In fact the actor who’s come closest to Delgado’s approach is Eric Roberts, who plays an American version of Delgado’s Master until his performance goes big towards the end of 1996’ ‘The TV Movie’. Each actor brings different facets to the fore, but after the character’s successful launch in Season 8 we get the tricky balancing act of…

American Horror Story: Double Feature Season 10’s Muse Pill Confronts a Stark Truth About Creative Ambition

This American Horror Story: Double Feature review contains spoilers. American Horror Story Season 10 Episode 4 The Red Tide portion of American Horror Story: Double Feature asks a few simple questions. What would you do if you could suddenly tap into the limitless potential of your talent? What would you trade to be able to live out your dream, be it singing, dancing, writing, or art? For some people, the answer to that would be just about anything, including taking a pill and occasionally turning another human into one of the show’s titular blood buffets. They’re willing to risk any…

Star Trek’s Most Underserved Characters Will Be Back in Strange New Worlds

There were a lot of exciting news to come out of Paramount’s Star Trek Day 2021 celebrations, but perhaps the most rewarding for long-time Trekkies was the official announcement of the entire Star Trek: Strange New Worlds cast. While we’ve known for a long time the Trek spin-off’s cast of characters would be led by Anson Mount’s Captain Pike, Ethan Peck’s Spock, and Rebecca Romijn’s Number One/Una—all of whom were introduced in their current iterations on Star Trek: Discovery, but who originally hail from The Original Series—it was unclear which other TOS characters might appear. Now, we know, and they…
