Piece by Piece: How Pharrell Williams’ Lego Doc Came to Be

New DVD release
This article appears in the new issue of DEN OF GEEK magazine. You can read all of our magazine stories here. Pharrell Williams is a legend. He’s one of the most influential artists of his generation, has had countless hits either as a performer or as a producer, has worked with an incredible roster of top music talent, won armfuls of awards, launched a fashion brand, and has even been nominated for two Oscars. And now he’s a Lego figure. Director Morgan Neville has also won a boatload of awards, including an Oscar for the documentary 20 Feet from Stardom. He has a…

Saturday Night and the Real History of SNL: What Is True and What’s Invented?

New DVD release
Saturday Night Live is so old that it predates being called “Saturday Night Live.” Originally, the show was known simply as Saturday Night. That’s a half-forgotten factoid which Jason Reitman’s new film—also simply Saturday Night—leans into when a young and sharply dressed antihero named Lorne Michaels (Gabriel LaBelle) tells an incredulous NBC security guard that he’s the producer of Saturday Night. “The whole night?” the guard asks with more than a hint of condescension. It’s this early scene in Reitman’s new movie which forces every viewer below the age of 60 in a strange place: a world where SNL was…

My Hero Academia: You’re Next Review – Dark Might Rises

New DVD release
“Next, it’s your turn.” Four movies in, My Hero Academia has its feature film installments down to a science and the anime’s continued success makes it no surprise why they continue to turn out these extra special cinematic celebrations.  There’s a similar quality, structure, and tone to all four My Hero Academia movies where a grandiose villain with radical motivations causes wide-scale chaos. It’s interesting to note that there’s been a larger wait between each My Hero Academia movie as they’re not creatively hollow endeavors that are being rushed out for an easy cash grab. There’s clearly a lot of…

Joker Actors Ranked From Worst to Best

New DVD release
Believe it or not, the Joker wasn’t always an A-list comic book villain. Inspired by Conrad Veidt’s character in the silent tragedy The Man Who Laughs, the Joker first plagued Gotham City in 1940’s Batman #1. According to behind-the-scenes legends, creators Bill Finger, Jerry Robinson, and Bob Kane intended the Joker to die at the end of his first story, but they eventually realized what a special character they had on their hands and kept him alive. Even then, the Joker was just one of Batman’s many nemeses and dropped from regular rotation after the 1960s TV show perhaps overexposed…

Bad Boys: Ride or Die Proves Will Smith Will Always Be A Movie Star

New DVD release
According to Hollywood legend, Will Smith went from innocuous rapper to full-on movie star when he and director Michael Bay reached a compromise while shooting the original Bad Boys. Bay wanted Smith to go shirtless during a running scene, but Smith felt embarrassed by the idea. So they agreed to let him keep the shirt on but unbuttoned for the shot. Sure enough, the shot looked amazing, with the shirt flapping like a cape as Smith hurled himself toward the camera. He became a viable movie star. Now in his mid 50s, Smith does not go shirtless for a running…

The Worst Movies in the Greatest Horror Franchises

New DVD release
Sometimes a horror movie can be so successful that the studio will insist on just going full throttle and releasing sequel after sequel. Give it enough time, and you’ll get prequels and reboots. While there may be follow-ups that really improve on what the original gave us, a lot of the time, the franchise starts to fall apart somewhere around the third installment. Writing gets lazy and repetitive, or goes to the other extreme by being too off-brand in a bad way. Budgets shrink and the actors and directors who made things work would rather keep their distance. You end…

Connie Nielsen Thinks ‘It’s Crazy’ Wonder Woman 3 with Gal Gadot Isn’t Happening

New DVD release
When James Gunn and Peter Safran were named in 2022 as co-presidents of DC Studios by Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav, early indications from the pair were that at least some of the characters and actors from the previous DC film incarnation, aka the DC Extended Universe, might survive the reboot to fight another day. And of all the characters from the prior sequence of films, it was widely believed that Wonder Woman, a beloved fan favorite played by Gal Gadot, was perhaps the only major member of the Justice League that could make the cut. It was not,…

The Joker Movies Piggybacking Off Heath Ledger Has Always Been a Problem

New DVD release
This article contains major spoilers for Joker: Folie à Deux. It is the ending which has left some fans upset and others…. still upset but also at least curious about the seeming wink, easter egg, or allusion to another, much better loved sequel. Arthur Fleck, Joaquin Phoenix’s eternally put-upon sad clown at the center of two Todd Phillips Joker movies, is dead. On a concrete floor in Arkham Asylum, he dies unloved, unhappy, and unprotected. Meanwhile just vaguely out of focus, and partially out of frame, his murderer laughs maniacally as he begins carving his own face into a so-called…

Joker 2 Should Be the End of Joker in the Movies

New DVD release
This article contains multitudes of Joker : Folie à Deux spoilers. Joker: Folie à Deux ends with the death of the Joker. Okay, more accurately, it ends with the death of Arthur Fleck, the sad-sack comedian-turned-murderer played by Joaquin Phoenix. Furthermore, the movie closes with Fleck’s killer (Connor Storrie) turning the knife on himself to carve some Heath Ledger-esque scars. So the truer statement is Joker: Folie à Deux should end with the death of the Joker. Not just Phoenix’s Arthur Fleck in the Todd Phillips films, but all of them: Cesar Romero’s boisterous Joker, Jack Nicholson’s performance artist Joker, Mark…

Obi-Wan Kenobi Season 2 Is the Perfect Chance to Fix a Return of the Jedi Plot Hole

New DVD release
When the not-so-old Ben Kenobi (Ewan McGregor) met young Luke Skywalker (Grant Feely) in the final episode of Obi-Wan Kenobi in 2022, the Disney+ series ended with a kind of mic drop. Obi-Wan uttered a self-referential “Hello there,” met-up with the spirit of Qui-Gon Jinn (Liam Neeson), and that was that. The gap between the Obi-Wan of the prequels and the desert rat of A New Hope was closed.  But not really. While there’s a lot to love about Obi-Wan season 1, nearly everything about it was a kind of canonical side quest, and it was only at the end…

A Nightmare on Elm Street Stars Know Why Freddy Krueger Still Haunts Us Today

New DVD release
During the filming of director Wes Craven’s A Nightmare on Elm Street amid the summer of 1984, Freddy Krueger performer Robert Englund wasn’t just creating a boogeyman that would linger for audiences four decades later… he was making something that would haunt him too. One night while Englund was shooting the infamous front yard scene with actress Heather Langencamp late at night, the actor had a break around four in the morning. She decided to take some rest on a cot in his dressing room when… “They knocked on my door and they go, ‘Robert, Robert, we’re going to try…

Margot Robbie Is Still the Only Movie Harley Quinn

New DVD release
This post contains spoilers for Joker: Folie à Deux. There are two general reactions from audiences coming out of Joker: Folie à Deux: “That was terrible,” and “Lady Gaga was good.” The idiosyncratic pop star continues to acquit herself well in movies, even with material as inert and dire as Folie à Deux. Yet despite coming out of the debacle with her head held high, Gaga’s take on Harleen Quinzel will likely go down in history as both different… and largely forgettable. Which to be fair is not unlike the many Elseworlds tales published by DC Comics. In the same…

The Best Horror Movies of 2024 (So Far)

New DVD release
Horror movies are back. Actually they never left. Yet after a few underperformed in the springtime, pundits with apparently a short-term memory about the genre perceived that its popularity was on the decline. Turns out, reports of its demise were greatly exaggerated—like always. One of the most basic and satisfying things cinema can offer is a safe space to be scared, to be intimidated, and to be thrilled at the sights of wicked things. And there’s been wickedness aplenty in 2024. Here are the best ones for those interested in looking for such delights. I Saw the TV Glow There…

Joker 2’s Massive Box Office Failure Offers Dark Lessons in Hollywood

New DVD release
A lot can change in five years. Only half a decade ago, Todd Phillips’ ambitious and daring attempt to reboot the DC character Joker into a Travis Bickle antihero wasn’t only a hit with moviegoers, but a phenomenon. That film opened to $96 million in its first weekend and legged out to grossing more than $1 billion worldwide, the most ever earned by any R-rated film up to that time. Cut to October 2024, and we don’t even have to wait for the second weekend to know how thoroughly Joker: Folie à Deux was rejected by its target audience. The…

The Best James Bond Movie Watch Orders for Your Next 007 Binge

New DVD release
For the past several years, seeing all James Bond movies streaming online in one place has been a rare occurrence. With certain films hopping from HBO Max to Paramount+, and sometimes even Netflix, keeping track of how to make a 007 marathon happen has been tricky. That is until now. As of October 2024, all 25 James Bond movies released by Eon Productions—from 1962 to 2021—are streaming on Amazon Prime Video. Amazon has declared Prime Video “the Home of Bond,” which means that maybe, just maybe, Mr. Bond will sit still this time and not move to another streaming platform for…

Joker 2’s The Dark Knight Connection Is Not What You Think

New DVD release
This Joker: Folie a Deux article contains spoilers. Todd Phillips is once again putting on a happy face, and Joaquin Phoenix is back in his baggy pants for Joker: Folie à Deux. Set in their own continuity away from Matt Reeves’ The Batman and the Colin Farrell-led The Penguin, 2019’s Joker and 2024’s Folie à Deux have shied away from setting up this world’s Caped Crusader and his infamous rogues gallery. Still, with the Joker being Batman’s most iconic nemesis, Folie à Deux gives a major hint at where the story could’ve gone if Phillips stayed in this world. The…

Joker 2 Is a Comic Book Movie That Hates Comic Books

New DVD release
This article contains spoilers for Joker: Folie à Deux. When Joker: Folie à Deux ends, the world has changed. Although likely not in the way comic book fans expected. Arthur Fleck, the man who smeared pancake makeup across his face and called himself Joker, is dead; Lee Quinzel, his precious “Harley Quinn,” has left him cold after realizing he wasn’t the leader of a nihilist revolution but instead a pitiful loser; and even Harvey Dent seemed to evade his comic book fate when after an explosion rocks the trial of the century in Gotham’s courthouse… the D.A. seems only dazed…

Body Horror Movies More Disturbing Than The Substance

New DVD release
Director Coralie Fargeat’s The Substance is rightfully drawing praise from critics and body horror fans these days. It’s a colorful, creative, and surprisingly entertaining examination of the self-loathing generated by society’s expectations of the female body.  If you’ve heard nothing else about the film so far, you still probably know that it is one of the most violent and disturbing horror movies to come along in quite some time. The internet—or at least the film-obsessed corners of social media—is already filled with stories of people leaving their screenings, vomiting outside the theater, or otherwise finding themselves unable to process what…
