Max, Disney+, and Hulu Bundle: Price, Release Date, and What to Know

New DVD release
Disney+, Hulu, and Max are joining forces and offering subscribers the opportunity to bundle all three streaming services and save a little money in the process. Though this may seem like a somewhat desperate grab by the media companies, which have continually raised prices and added ad-tiers on their bleeding streaming platforms, it nonetheless seems like there will be a benefit to subscribers who want to save a little money while having access to all three streamers. At the current price, the bundle saves subscribers 38 percent of what it normally costs to subscribe to each of these streaming services…

Transformers One: Chris Hemsworth Insists He Won’t ‘Mimic’ Peter Cullen’s Optimus Prime

New DVD release
When Chris Hemsworth was presented with the challenge of playing a younger version of Optimus Prime in the animated film Transformers One, he probably thought to himself, “Roll out!” But that famous catchphrase, delivered by Peter Cullen since the original 1984 cartoon show, actually presented a challenge for Hemsworth as well. “I don’t want to follow or mimic what Peter Cullen’s done,” the Australian recalls telling producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura when he was first offered the part. If he was going to step into another iconic character’s, err, wheels, he would need to make it his own. Fortunately, Hemsworth learned,…

The Time Bandits TV Series Just Rewrote the Original Film’s Shock Ending

New DVD release
Warning: contains spoilers for Time Bandits (1981) & (2024) episodes one & two. “Strong language, self-harm references & violence. This programme isn’t suitable for younger viewers,” is the warning from Channel4.com to anybody currently wishing to stream Terry Gilliam’s 1981 fantasy adventure film Time Bandits in the UK. Despite the film’s “G” (all ages admitted) rating, the streamer asks viewers to confirm that they’re over the age of 16 before it will play. An overreaction, or fair dos, in light of the film’s meaty battle scenes and famously bleak ending? The Original Time Bandits Ending In the film’s final scenes,…

Cailee Spaeny’s Journey in Alien: Romulus Actually Began Years Before Her Casting

New DVD release
While perhaps not as immediately obvious as a drooling xenomorph with acid-for-blood, one of the many secrets to the Alien franchise’s longevity has been its casting. The original 1979 movie directed by Ridley Scott is rightly celebrated for introducing Sigourney Weaver as Ellen Ripley to the world, yet that whole film’s ensemble is pretty extraordinary. For all intents and purposes, it marked American audiences’ introductions to John Hurt and Ian Holm while also featuring an overall grizzled naturalism, courtesy of actors like Tom Skerritt and Yaphet Kotto. When the folks starring in the series’ latest iteration, Alien: Romulus, think back…

Borderlands Director Eli Roth Wants to Prove Doubters Wrong With New Game Adaptation

New DVD release
This article appears in the new issue of DEN OF GEEK magazine. You can read all of our magazine stories here. When Hostel director Eli Roth was cast as the Bear Jew in Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds (2009), fans were skeptical that he would be up to the task, considering his relative inexperience in front of the camera.  “At the time, people were saying, ‘Why is Tarantino casting Eli? He’s not an actor,’” Roth tells Den of Geek magazine. “And Tarantino is going, ‘Yes, he is. Wait until the movie comes out.’ Fifteen years later, the Bear Jew is a classic character. The…

The Wild Robot: First Look at Dreamworks’ Next Animated Epic

New DVD release
This article appears in the new issue of DEN OF GEEK magazine. You can read all of our magazine stories here. During the earliest production stages of an animated movie, it is common to begin the process with a series of exploratory paintings. “They are abstract and loose and just delicious paintings,” says Chris Sanders, the director of films such as Lilo & Stitch, How to Train Your Dragon, and The Croods. But something special happened during the production of Sanders’ latest film, The Wild Robot, while he was sitting in a meeting and being shown some of these conceptual paintings. “Someone pushed…

Deadpool & Wolverine’s Funniest, Craziest and Most Bat-Sh!t Cameos and Easter Eggs

New DVD release
This article is nothing but non-stop Deadpool & Wolverine spoilers! A key appeal to Marvel movies remains their cameos, as anyone who recognizes Stan Lee’s million-dollar smile will tell you. But Deadpool & Wolverine takes it to another level, as one would expect for Wade Wilson’s first entry into the Marvel Cinematic Universe proper. Deadpool doesn’t just drag Wolverine into the fray with him for this one. No, he is bringing the whole Fox X-Men universe along for the ride, or at least as many of the B-listers and off-shoots from thereabouts that only the most hardcore of nerds or…

Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Cast on Growing the Brothers Up and Apart for TV

New DVD release
When Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem opened a year ago, it hit like a mutagen bomb. Despite our fab four characters of Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo, and Raphael being around for decades—this year marks their 40th(!) anniversary—never before had anyone really thought about treating them like… teenagers. In the dizzyingly animated film, the characters were played by real adolescents like Nicolas Cantu (Leo), Micah Abbey (Donnie), Shamon Brown Jr. (Mikey), and Brady Noon (Raph). None of whom were old enough to vote when first stepping into the recording booth—a place where they recorded entirely together and in a style apropos…

The Deadpool & Wolverine Ending Gives Us a Logan We’ve Never Seen Before

New DVD release
This article contains Deadpool & Wolverine Spoilers. It’s something fans have waited 20 years for when it comes to Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine, even if they didn’t know it. No, not the costume. We always knew we wanted to see Jackman in that little yellow and blue number. And when the mask came on during the third act of Deadpool & Wolverine, the roof of my particular theater strained from the high-decibel cheers. As beautiful as that costume was while watching Wolverine go on a Madonna-scored berserker rage, we have seen Jackman’s most beloved onscreen character up to his knees in…

Deadpool & Wolverine Post-Credit Scenes Break MCU Mold

New DVD release
This post contains massive spoilers for Deadpool & Wolverine. We all know how post-credit scenes work, right? Nick Fury shows up and recruits Tony Stark into the Avengers. Thanos grabs the Infinity Gauntlet and promises to do the dirty work himself. The Beast tends to the wounds of Monica Rambeau. These scenes are among the purest translations from the comics that inspired the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Comic books often feature interludes in which a shadowy figure appears in the background and laughs malevolently about their future plans, promising more exciting stories in the future. Even the dumbest post-credit scenes, such…

What Is Skibidi Toilet, and Why Does Michael Bay Want to Make a Movie About It?

New DVD release
When Variety recently reported that Michael Bay and Adam Goodman are pursuing the development of TV and film projects based on Skibidi Toilet, you could practically hear the voices of everyone above the age of 25 or so cry out into the night “What is Skibidi Toilet and why is Michael Bay trying to make a movie about it?” It’s a valid question that has often been asked in slightly different forms by parents everywhere as they debate the long-term consequences of letting their kids roam the internet freely vs. the short-term benefits of having a little quiet time to…

Alien: Romulus – Exclusive Look at the Return of Xenomorphs, Androids, and Cosmic Dread

New DVD release
This article appears in the new issue of DEN OF GEEK magazine. You can read all of our magazine stories here. Before he ever settled on a pitch to 20th Century Studios, Fede Alvarez invited close friends and colleagues, cinephiles, and horror connoisseurs, into his home. At this point in his career, the Uruguayan director had once already pulled off a magic trick by becoming the first person not named Sam Raimi to helm an Evil Dead movie. Miraculously, he was celebrated for that walk across cinematic holy ground. Now, Alvarez wanted to workshop an even more death-defying stunt. He was going to share…

The Fox X-Men Movies Ranked from Worst to Best

New DVD release
The X-Men are dead. Well, the first set of movie X-Men, anyway. After decades of thrilling readers with soapy, intricate stories in the pages of Marvel Comics, the X-Men finally made it to the big screen with 2000’s X-Men. Despite its clear limitations, including unconvincing CGI and black leather instead of comics’ accurate costumes, X-Men set off a long and profitable franchise, one that stretches over 13 movies and 20 years. That run (kind of) came to an end after Disney purchased 20th Century Fox in 2019. While the Mouse was obligated to release a handful of more mutant movies…

Transformers One Challenges What We Think We Know About Optimus Prime and Megatron

New DVD release
This article appears in the new issue of DEN OF GEEK magazine. You can read all of our magazine stories here. Everybody knows Optimus Prime and Megatron are arch nemeses, and Transformers One director Josh Cooley used this knowledge to his advantage when making the fully animated origin story. The film is set on Cybertron before the Autobot-Decepticon Civil War ravaged the planet, and Optimus and Megatron—young miners called Orion Pax and D-16, respectively—are the furthest thing from mortal enemies: they’re brothers in arms. “The audience knows that they’re going to become enemies, so I wanted them to start their arc as best…

Kevin Feige Tells Us About Ryan Reynolds’ ‘One-Room Christmas’ Deadpool Movie Pitch

New DVD release
While Ryan Reynolds has gone on the record as far back as 2021 to state that his dream vision for a third Deadpool movie always involved a road trip story with Wade and Logan, the path to making Deadpool & Wolverine a reality was anything but a smooth ride. In fact, Reynolds spent a good deal of time pitching Marvel Studios on a number of alternate, divergent ideas for Deadpool 3… including a low-budget concept sans any big set pieces. And when we spoke to Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige last week, the MCU impresario confirmed that a “Sundance” version…

Deadpool & Wolverine Review: Maximum Effort, Medium Results

New DVD release
From the very first scene, Wade Wilson is squatting in the grave of Wolverine and the X-Men cinematic universe he helped build. This is not a metaphor. The film literally opens with Ryan Reynolds’ crimson-clad dynamo six feet deep in the hole Hugh Jackman’s superhero was buried beneath at the end of Logan, desperate to resurrect the past—or at least exhume the corpse of it for a gag. It is not a metaphor, and yet it happily invites one all the same while watching Deadpool & Wolverine, the third fourth-wall-knocking laugher starring Reynolds and an endless barrage of dick jokes.…
