Sidney Poitier, who died at age 94 last week, was a leading man in many ways: teaching the teacher in The Blackboard Jungle, learning from students in To Sir, With Love, and schooling the public on historic achievement with each part he took, from the slender threads to the defiant ones. One of Poitier’s greatest

This Dexter: New Blood review contains spoilers. Not many shows get a second chance at a finale. But then again, not many shows’ first finales are as bad as Dexter’s was. After the original Dexter series finale back in 2013 was received, let’s say, less than warmly, Showtime decided to try it again. Following a

If you haven’t already checked out Arcane on Netflix, you really need to put it high on your to do list. Yes, it’s based on the world and characters of League of Legends, one of the planet’s most popular battle arena games, but that’s almost irrelevant. Somehow this animated series manages to be amazing in

Regeneration stories are a tricky one in that they aren’t entirely consistent. The first time the process of the main character changing their entire physical appearance was eleven years into the show’s first run. That story, ‘Planet of the Spiders’, felt like a summing up of the Pertwee era, a celebration of what had made

This article contains spoilers for Superman & The Authority. The Man of Steel of Superman & The Authority looks a little different than you might be used to. Graying at the temples, a hint of smile lines around his eyes, and a capeless outfit that looks equally ready for some serious work in a laboratory

For the first time in what feels like ages, there’s some excitement to Oscar season. To be fair, “excitement” might be a relative word when most of the biggest Oscar contenders in 2022 are, again, movies that didn’t set the box office on fire. Nevertheless, after COVID and a painfully quiet Oscars where the Best

It’s never a slow news day at the Vought News Network. Today, Amazon Prime Video unleashed a Biblical torrent of tidbits surrounding the release of The Boys season 3, including a date for the season premiere, and for the long-awaited “Herogasm” installment of the series adapted from Garth Ennis’s comics. For starters, The Boys season

Why settle for tacos when Tuesday can be Soylent Green Day? Far more nutritious than Soylent Red or Yellow, the green stuff is made with a secret ingredient that makes it a real delicacy. Of course the line “Soylent Green is people” is now an insta-spoiler meme and trope. But when Charlton Heston first uttered

It takes a special movie to bring together a cast like the one in The 355. This is an international, five-pointed star showcase of leading lady talent, with the female ensemble headed by Jessica Chastain, who is also a producer on the picture, and complemented by Lupita Nyong’o, Diane Kruger, Penélope Cruz, and Fan Bingbing.

This article contains spoilers for The Wheel of Time. Although the first season of The Wheel of Time departed in many ways from The Eye of the World, the Robert Jordan novel upon which it is based, the elements it included and left out give us some clues as to where the series might be

Ubisoft’s recent decision to bring Ubisoft+ to Xbox and Rainbow Six Extraction to Game Pass as a day one title has created a lot of (understandable) confusion about whether or not Ubisoft+ is also coming to Game Pass and PS5 in the near future. Let’s start with what we know for sure. As noted above,

This Search Party review contains no spoilers. Search Party is an unconventional series that’s followed a unique path from the start, but its fifth and final season is honestly one of the craziest things I’ve ever seen done by a comedy series.  Search Party season 5 is a delirious experiment that’s as if Alejandro Jodorowsky,

This article contains spoilers for DON’T LOOK UP. In the new Netflix hit movie, Don’t Look Up, written and directed by satirical filmmaker Adam McKay (The Big Short, Anchorman), two rather low-level astronomers (Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence) discover a comet is headed directly toward Earth, with the object set to smash into our little

Strap in, everybody, it’s time for another year of television. After 2021 saw the “small screen” grow even bigger thanks to the introduction of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and one South Korean phenomenon, 2022 is set to try it out all over again. Marvel is still set to be a factor this year with shows

This Dexter: New Blood review contains spoilers. Dexter: New Blood Episode 9 This is as good as Dexter gets.  While Dexter: New Blood has done more than enough to remove the bad taste left by the original series’ mostly maddening final three seasons, “The Family Business” justifies reviving the show. It’s the best episode of

There’s a reason George Lucas wouldn’t let people play with Mel Brooks’ Spaceballs toys, and it’s not what you think. In the Star Wars universe, the empire always strikes back, but sometimes preemptively. Princess Vespa scooters, Lone Starr Pez dispensers, Barf air bags, and Prince Valium chewables are just a few things the retail market

This article contains Cobra Kai spoilers Cobra Kai has mastered the season finale cliffhanger just like Daniel-san mastered ‘wax on, wax off.’ It started with its first season finale. That ended with the startling appearance of Sensei John Kreese (Martin Kove), which took the series to a whole new level. The season 2 finale literally

When you’re a streaming service, there’s only one way to celebrate the New Year. And that’s by IP mining to bring back a franchise that had no business in coming back!

Last year, we said “…every work of art made in [2020] is a small miracle. Every comic creator who put irons in the fire in a year that certainly didn’t lack fires deserves gratitude and commendation.” That’s no less true in 2021, a year where days felt like months and each month somehow also passed

Warning: contains spoilers for the Harlan Coben’s Stay Close finale. “And that is it,” laughed Dave to Megan on their long-awaited wedding day, “there are definitely no more secrets.” Not quite, Dave. You may now know all about your new wife’s hidden past, but there’s still the matter of you and daughter Kayleigh inadvertently tag-teaming

Cobra Kai continues to effectively mine the long-dormant characters and continuity of The Karate Kid film franchise. The strategy has yielded a successful series that basks in the built-in nostalgia of those old enough to recall the films’ heyday, and even fosters a new generation of fandom. However, the show’s fourth season taps into 1989’s

Another strange, downright sci-fi year has come and gone. What better way to celebrate 2021’s demise and prepare for what 2022 holds in store than with a heaping dose of Twilight Zone? The annual Twilight Zone New Year’s Day Marathon is set to continue on SYFY this New Year. The marathon spans three days, from

Season 2 hasn’t even come out, but apparently, Netflix is already talking to the creator of Squid Game about season 3. “It wasn’t that long ago that Hwang Dong-hyuk didn’t seem up for more Squid Game, telling Variety, ‘It is quite tiring just thinking about it.’ Then, the show exploded in popularity around the world,

Many have called 2021 a slow year for video games, and we certainly understand why. Game development is hard enough without having to deal with the challenges of working during the COVID-19 pandemic, systemic issues within the industry, hardware shortages, and a variety of other factors that have led to some of the delays and

This Dexter: New Blood review contains spoilers. Dexter: New Blood Episode 8 I wrote at length last week about how Dexter: New Blood has its foot on the brake rather than the gas late in the season, a problem that suggested maybe a 10-episode order was too much time to fill. That criticism is given
