What The Walking Dead Daryl and Carol Spinoff Will Be About

New DVD release, , , ,
Although AMC’s flagship zombie drama is in its endgame now, it hardly feels like a true ending for The Walking Dead universe. After all, the 11th and final season of the series will make way for a few other zombie projects to rise from the dead. One of these new projects is a spinoff starring Daryl (Norman Reedus) and Carol (Melissa McBride), two of The Walking Dead‘s most beloved characters and the only two survivors left from the show’s very first season. The untitled spinoff will once again be helmed by current Walking Dead showrunner Angela Kang, which suggests that…

Star Trek: Lower Decks Episode 7 Review: Much Ado About Boimler

New DVD release, , , , ,
This Star Trek: Lower Decks review contains spoilers. Star Trek: Lower Decks Episode 7 Unlike the most recent Star Trek shows, one of the appealing things about Star Trek: Lower Decks is that nearly all of its episodes are self-contained. There hasn’t been a season-long mystery to solve, and for the most part, you can watch the episodes totally out of order. That said, there is one nagging mystery that was quietly mentioned in the very first episode, that finally, appears to have been solved. Basically, is Ensign Mariner good at her job on accident or occasionally bad at her…

Tenet Box Office Opens at $20 Million, Raises Questions About Industry’s Future

New DVD release, , , , , ,
This holiday weekend, Christopher Nolan’s Tenet captured nearly 70 percent of the U.S. market share of movie theater tickets across the country. In normal circumstances that news would accompany a staggering box office figure—a Labor Day record-breaker to go along with the No. 1 debut. But during the current coronavirus pandemic, more than 50 percent of the market accounts for $20.2 million in box office receipts over four days. Is this the “new normal” or the first tentative step toward moviegoers slowly returning to theaters? It’s hard to say right now, but it’s just part of the story for Warner…

John Boyega Speaks Out About Being Sidelined in Star Wars

New DVD release, , , ,
We don’t deserve John Boyega, his inarguable acting talent, or his captivating Black Lives Matter speech, speaking to the world without fear of reprisal, which will undoubtedly go down as one of the most important moments of 2020/the decade. It’s a shame that we even live in a society where a Black actor would have to worry about “having a career” after speaking out against racial injustice and inequality. As Boyega would say, “Fuck that.” Boyega is once again speaking out in a new interview with GQ, this time about being one of the stars of the Star Wars Sequel…

Ben Affleck to Direct Film About Hollywood Making Chinatown

New DVD release, , , , ,
Ben Affleck is returning to 1970s Hollywood for his next directorial effort. As the filmmaker who won a Best Picture Oscar for Argo in 2013, a movie that briefly crossed paths with Tinseltown at the height of Star Wars fever in the late ‘70s, Affleck already knows well the setting of The Big Goodbye, which is being developed at Paramount Pictures. And with the new movie focused on Paramount’s struggles in making the legendary Chinatown, this means Affleck is helming a movie where Jack Nicholson, Roman Polanski, and Faye Dunaway are all characters. Also set to write the screenplay, Affleck…

New DVD release, , , , ,
A massive Nintendo leak reveals never-before-seen secrets about many classic Nintendo games. The data contained in this leak (which is being referred to as the “Gigaleak”) started spreading on 4chan fairly recently. We don’t know who initially acquired the information or where they got it from.

For what it’s worth, though, individuals familiar with such data breaches have stated that the nature of this particular event sounds seems to suggest that it’s the…

Everwild Trailer Reveals More About Rare’s Next Game

New DVD release, , ,
Developer Rare’s mysterious next project, Everwild, was briefly featured during the Xbox games showcase via a fascinating teaser trailer. Much like the debut trailer for Everwild, this preview is short on substantial plot and gameplay details. Either Everwild isn’t far along in development or Rare is trying to preserve the game’s mysteries for as long as possible. We also wouldn’t rule out a combination of both. Regardless, this preview does hint at the nature of Everwild‘s universe. “Nature” is the keyword here, as the trailer’s narrator hints that players will control an “Eternal” who is able “to sense and feel…

Hulu Developing Alternate History TV Series About Hillary Clinton

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Four years after Hillary Clinton lost her final bid for the White House—even though she won the popular vote—there remains a lot of melancholic reflection about “what if” among her most dedicated supporters. Heck, there’s a lot of second-guessing, too, among some of her harshest critics with the current occupant of the Oval Office fumbling the development of a national strategy to deal with the coronavirus pandemic. So the prospect of a potential Rodham television series, and the alternate version of history it intends to offer, may appear to be a respite. With that said, it aims to rewrite the…

The Teleprompter Interview: The Capture Cast Feels Strongly About Their TV Crushes

New DVD release, , , , , ,
The Capture is fundamentally a show about screens. Screens are the first things viewers see as the series heads behind the scenes at a CCTV control center where workers remotely take in something horrific happening on the streets of London. Those same CCTV cameras and the screens they broadcast to are ever-present throughout the show’s six episodes, which tell the story of U.K. Special Forces Lance Corporal Shaun Emery (Callum Turner) who was failed by video surveillance technology once before and may be on the verge of being failed by it once again. The Capture wrapped up its compelling run…

What Hamilton Doesn’t Say About His Real History with Slavery

New DVD release, , , ,
It was mid-October 1796 when Alexander Hamilton released the first in a string of scathing essays about political opponent Thomas Jefferson. By this point in early United States history, George Washington had announced his retirement, refusing to seek a third term as president, and the race of self-styled great men hoping to take his place was on… with none more loathsome to Hamilton than Jefferson, the loquacious, if remote, thinker on a hill in Virginia. In this first of 25 essays, Hamilton wrote under the nom de plume of Phocion about the many hypocrisies of Jefferson, depicting the supposed philosopher…

Warcraft director Duncan Jones has confirmed via Twitter that he had mapped out the basic story for a Warcraft film trilogy before plans for subsequent Warcraft movies fell apart. “Part 2 would have been Go’el/Thrall as a young orc slave in Blackmoore’s gladiator camp,” Jones says in regards to his intentions for a sequel to 2016’s Warcraft. “Here he meets & befriends a Tauren who tells him of another land to the west where his people come from, & where he might find allies & maybe a new home…” From there, Jones goes on to describe what an eventual third…

The Shining: 5 Things Jack Torrance Taught Us About Social Distancing and Quarantine

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining turns 40 years old this week. Despite being the filmmaker’s late-in-life stab at commercialism after the failure of Barry Lyndon, his single attempt at horror remains one of the most artful, and hauntingly confounding, chillers ever produced. It turned Stephen King’s traditional haunted hotel yarn into a metaphysical nightmare of… well, just about anything you want. As Rodney Ascher’s Room 237 documentary explored, there are Kubrick conspiracy theorists who will tell you The Shining is about everything from white guilt over the generational mass murder of American Indians (plausible) to a confession of Kubrick’s complicity in…
