Is Eli Roth’s Ice Cream Man Related to the Image Comic or Clint Howard Movie?

Max SchindlerNew DVD release
As the weather warms and the children are out of school, thoughts and ears turn toward that ubiquitous sound of summer: the ice cream man’s jingle. Even though few professions could be more joyful than bringing cold confections to children, the jingle always feels a bit too loud, the sellers a bit too friendly, the treats a bit too sweet. And so, like the equally innocuous circus clown, the ice cream man has become the subject of many horror stories, including the upcoming movie Ice Cream Man from Eli Roth. The trailer’s juxtaposition of jaunty music, bright colors, and bloody…

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II Is a Silly Superhero Kids Movie, and That’s Still Okay

Max SchindlerNew DVD release
Thirty-five years ago, some comic book fans left the theater absolutely disappointed, while a group of cartoon fans left utterly thrilled. These two groups both claimed to be fans of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and both had a deep appreciation for the adventures of Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello, and Raphael. But those who came to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze hoping for a faithful adaptation of the indie comics by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird were frustrated in the spring of 1991, while those who loved the cartoon were satisfied. And both were right. Yes,…

The Boroughs Trailer: Stranger Things Happen to Old People Too

Max SchindlerNew DVD release
In the 2003 spy thriller The Recruit, Al Pacino’s CIA officer Walter Burke has a catchphrase. He’s “a scary judge of talent,” he says, before committing a string of inadvisable crimes. The Duffer Brothers, no matter what their perceived narrative crimes were during the five-season run of Stranger Things, also seem to be a scary judge of talent. First, they got behind Haley Z. Boston’s hit Netflix horror show Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen, and next month will see their names slapped on The Boroughs, because they, like us, probably believe that The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance…

Soderbergh Reveals Wild Plan to Split James Bond Into Two Universes

Max SchindlerNew DVD release
“The name’s Bond, James Bond.” “What! My name is also Bond, James Bond, but from a different, sexier universe!” is almost certainly not dialogue that Black Bag director Steven Soderbergh would have chosen to add to his James Bond movies had he been given the reins to the spy franchise many years ago. Still, he had some ideas that would have at least made it possible. “I had pitched in 2008 the idea to Barbara Broccoli of a parallel franchise,” Soderbergh revealed to The Playlist. “Set in the ’60s, R-rated, violent, sexy. Fictional backstory to real historical events, different actor,…

The Audacity Creator Talks Silicon Valley: “They’re Stripping Away Aspects of What It Means to Be Human”

Max SchindlerNew DVD release
Succession and Better Call Saul producer Jonathan Glatzer has written for some legendarily complex and problematic characters in his career, but his new AMC show, The Audacity, presents an even more damaged crop of figures. The new drama series follows Silicon Valley manchild Duncan Park (Billy Magnussen), the data-mining CEO of a tech company called Hypergnosis, who is delulu enough to think he’s an absolute genius. But when he discovers that his therapist Dr. Joanne Felder (Sarah Goldberg) has been patiently listening to his musings while insider-trading with information that he and others have provided in their sessions, it’s not…

The Drama’s Ending is As Sweet As You Want It to Be

Max SchindlerNew DVD release
This article contains full spoilers for The Drama. Except for a few particularly illiterate trailer watchers, everyone going into A24‘s The Drama knew they were in for a bad time. The film stars Zendaya and Robert Pattinson as Emma and Charlie, soon-to-be newlyweds who fall apart after the former confesses that, as a middle schooler, she planned a school shooting, and only failed to complete it because another shooter launched an attack before her. What follows is a cringe comedy as the couple and all their friends manage to make everything worse. Emma’s maid-of-honor Rachel (Alana Haim) takes offense at…

American Horror Story Season 13 Is Shaping Up to Be a Timeline-Shifting Coven Follow-Up

Max SchindlerNew DVD release
As regular viewers of the FX anthology series already know, American Horror Story can be something of a mixed bag. Over the past 15 years, the series has tackled everything from serial killers and aliens to vampires, witches, ghosts, and famous true crime cases, with varying degrees of success. The show’s later seasons, in particular, have struggled to recapture the magic of the earlier outings, which saw its stars — most notably Oscar winner Jessica Lange — racking up awards season nominations and hardware. (In fact, if you haven’t seen them, you should probably just skip AHS: Delicate and AHS:…

Luis Guzmán Looks Back on His Filmography: Super Mario, Community, and The Limey

Max SchindlerNew DVD release
For most of its cast and audience, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie offers a chance to make childhood real again. The film recalls those carefree days of sitting in front of a Nintendo Entertainment System or one of its successors, being dazzled by the fantastic adventures in the Mushroom Kingdom. Not so for Luis Guzmán, who voices Wart in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie. “We were too poor back then,” he tells Den of Geek. “My kids played the games, but I never really had the ability for it. But I would sit down and just watch how they manipulated…

Maitreyi Ramakrishnan Talks Never Have I Ever and Why We Need More Teen Dramas Today

Max SchindlerNew DVD release
Though actress Maitreyi Ramakrishnan’s latest role sees her playing a superhero that can talk to crows on The Boys, her breakthrough performance was as the lead of Netflix’s Never Have I Ever, a charming teen comedy that follows the coming-of-age journey of an Indian American girl in Los Angeles. Ramakrishnan played Devi Vishwakumar, an ambitious teen left reeling in the wake of her father’s death, and the show was consistently praised for its diverse cast and thoughtful depictions of teenage life, grief, friendship, and romance. Never Have I Ever ended after four seasons in 2023, with a sweet and largely…

Monarch: Legacy of Monsters Stars Kurt and Wyatt Russell Break Down Their Time-Bending Moment

Max SchindlerNew DVD release
The following contains spoilers for Monarch: Legacy of Monsters season 2 episode 7. Monarch: Legacy of Monsters has what is probably the best stunt casting on TV right now. This isn’t an insult, by the way. And not even entirely accurate; it’s actually more like a very human sort of special effect. The sci-fi series, which revolves around the titular organization that tracks the movements of Godzilla and other prehistoric Titans, spans two time periods and features several generations of a family whose origins are tied to its founding. And at the center of all of this is Lee Shaw,…

The Boys: Maitreyi Ramakrishnan Wishes Countess Crow Got Merked by Homelander

Max SchindlerNew DVD release
The following contains spoilers for The Boys season 5 episodes 1 and 2. The Boys has always walked a fine line between reality and fiction. One part satirical send-up of our pop culture’s superhero obsession and one part cynical display of the worst excesses of corporate greed, it’s a series that purposefully refuses to idolize its characters or glamorize the world they live in. Part of the reason its later seasons have often felt so uncomfortable to watch is that their subject matter has been steadily veering closer and closer toward our own reality. Just two episodes into its final…

The Punisher: One Last Kill Trailer Reminds Us That Frank Castle is No Hero

Max SchindlerNew DVD release
A glance at the cast list for Spider-Man: Brand New Day promises a heap of Marvel Superheroes. There’s Spider-Man, of course, but also Mark Ruffalo as the Hulk, Sadie Sink (probably) as Jean Grey of the X-Men, and Jon Bernthal as Frank Castle, the Punisher. Obviously, one of those things is not like the other. Where even the rampaging Incredible Hulk tries to minimize deaths, Frank Castle believes that anything less than murdering bad guys constitutes a half-measure that only perpetuates evil. Does his Marvel team-up with Spidey suggest that Frank is joining the goodies? The first trailer for the…

The Boys’ Kimiko Reveal is the Ultimate Improvement Over the Comics

Max SchindlerNew DVD release
This article contains spoilers for The Boys season 5 episode 1. “The Female (of the Species).” Those words, presented in a caption block of white text on a black background introduce the world to the one member of the Boys who isn’t a boy. The caption appears in 2006’s The Boys #2, written by Garth Ennis and illustrated by Darick Robertson, setting off a scene in which the character knocks on a door, stands silent as the men inside the house mock her, and then lunges inside. A few panels later, a bloody vivisected face slaps against a window. Our…

Animal Farm Trailer: Seth Rogen, Slapstick Jokes, and a Communist Dream Corrupted By Totalitarianism

Max SchindlerNew DVD release
All kids’ movies are equal, at least in some way. They fundamentally exist to entertain the youngest members of a studio audience, which requires broad jokes, over-the-top visuals, and simplistic morals. But some kids’ movies are more equal than others, as anyone who has seen a great Hayao Miyazaki or Pixar movie can attest. There’s a difference between simple and artless. Judging by its latest trailer, it’s hard to tell where the big screen adaptation of Animal Farm will fall. The film certainly has the pedigree to be a higher-end kid’s film, as it draws inspiration from the 1945 George…

Daredevil: Born Again Adapts One of the Most Interesting Bullseye Stories

Max SchindlerNew DVD release
This article contains spoilers for Daredevil: Born Again season 2 episode 4. “Gloves Off,” the fourth episode of Daredevil: Born Again‘s second season opens with a bang. Dex Pointdexter, the assassin known as Bullseye, walks into an old-timey diner, orders a milkshake, and calls the Anti-Vigilante Police Force.

Chris Pratt Got Confirmation About a Long-Rumored Super Mario Glitch

Max SchindlerNew DVD release
Today, anyone having trouble with a video game can just log onto the internet and find countless walkthroughs, guides, and tutorials. But back when Super Mario Bros. first arrived on the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1985, we mostly had to get advice from other kids at school. Unsurprisingly, the playground approach led to an endless mix of truth and legend, where the sequence of the Konami code blended with tall tales about uncles who worked at Nintendo. But Chris Pratt, who voices Mario in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, assures Den of Geek that one of the most famous playground…

The Boys: Vought Rising Creator Promises to Take an L.A. Confidential Approach to WWII

Max SchindlerNew DVD release
Superheroes would not exist without World War II. Sure, Superman debuted three years before the bombing of Pearl Harbor prompted the U.S. to join the battle, and was influenced more by economic and immigration concerns than any desire for international combat. But superhero comics became a favorite of G.I.s, so much that the industry suffered a near-fatal collapse when soldiers returned home, and left Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman behind. That fact alone is enough to justify the series Vought Rising, a prequel to The Boys that looks at the early adventures of Soldier Boy and other heroes from the…

Avengers: Doomsday Theory Changes Everything About Tony Stark’s Endgame Death

Max SchindlerNew DVD release
Have we been thinking about Tony Stark’s tragic Avengers: Endgame death all wrong? A persistent Avengers: Doomsday fan theory suggests that we have, and the reasoning behind the theory is definitely compelling. Ever since Robert Downey Jr. was revealed as the actor who would bring Marvel’s most beloved villain, Doctor Doom, to life in the MCU, we’ve asked ourselves why Doom would look like Tony Stark, who Downey Jr. portrayed from 2008 until Endgame in 2019. The directors working on Doomsday have stayed fairly tight-lipped about it, with the Russo brothers merely stating that there’s “no one else in the…
