This Batwoman article contains spoilers for Jane the Virgin and Agent Carter. For younger genre TV fans, the name Bridget Regan might not immediately ring a bell.

The summer movie season may be winding down, but HBO Max is keeping the movie ball rolling in September 2021. HBO Max’s list of new releases this month is heavy on the film side of things – both in library and original offerings. Two Warner Bros. films of note arrive this month. The James Wan-directed
Fans from all over the world waited with baited breath when they heard that Better Call Saul star Bob Odenkirk had collapsed on set of the show’s sixth season back in July.

Warning: This Vigil review contains spoilers. A booming naval salute to Vigil, which marks the return of the Sunday night BBC One drama after a long absence for reasons of football, Olympics, and allegedly, summer sunshine. From the writer of BBC detective series Strike, this thriller is just the thing to take us into autumn. It has it all:
Platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime, or HBO Max can be a good one-stop shop for your media needs, but if you’re a fan of East Asian media and are looking for a deeper library of content, then there are more focused platforms in which to consider investing your time and money. British drama fans have
After taking their No Time to Die title to heart and moving the new 007 adventure from April 2020 to November 2020, and then to April 2021 and now back to the fall of this year, Eon Productions and MGM appear adamant: the 25th James Bond movie will be coming out this year, meeting its
Blizzard surprised some Overwatch players today by announcing that they have decided to change the name of one of the game’s original playable heroes: the gunslinging cowboy known simply as McCree. “We believe it’s necessary to change the name of the hero currently known as McCree to something that better represents what Overwatch stands for,”
PlayStation owners will have their first chance to try Call of Duty: Vanguard during a public alpha test this weekend that’s open to PS5 and PS4 players. The alpha will focus on Champion Hill, a new multiplayer mode that’s described as “a mix of battle royale plus Gunfight with progression happening between each of the
This article contains minor spoilers for The Protégé and Nikita. The TV landscape has always been ahead of movies when it comes to giving women—and other underrepresented identities—a shot. This is probably because there has traditionally been less money to be made on TV, so the rich, mostly white men who rule Hollywood have left
Admit it, the moment you heard Willem Dafoe’s familiar Green Goblin cackle in the Spider-Man: No Way Home trailer you smiled. The legendary character actor isn’t even seen on screen, yet the sight of his pumpkin bomb from 2002’s Spider-Man and the sound of his laugh were a blast of sweet, sweet nostalgia. So much
Charlie Watts’ drums were the foundation of The Rolling Stones. Mick Jagger and Keith Richards wrote the songs, got the most press, and were the most visible members, but Watts dictated the style. Besides being named to Vanity Fair’s “Style” Hall of Fame, Watts kept the Stones’ sound intact and impeccable, regardless of whatever the
In retrospect, it was poetic that the now-arrived Spider-Man: No Way Home trailer preemptively leaked in a dimensionally-layered video of someone watching a video on his phone. After all, the genuine article—highlighted by the confirmed continuity-crossing return of Alfred Molina’s Spider-Man 2 villain, Doctor Octopus—has engulfed the Wall-Crawler’s various cinematic continuities like a set of
Like most Marvel Studios offerings, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is a peculiar but polished amalgam of subverted genre tropes, dazzling action sequences, and heartfelt character moments that is ultimately meant to feed the larger MCU monster. But more importantly, it’s a cultural milestone for Asian and AAPI audiences, who have been
This article contains major spoilers for The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf There are many good reasons why The Witcher doesn’t feature Geralt of Rivia beheading a vampire and then quipping, “Fangs for the memories.” His sense of humor is more cutting and direct, definitely not as snarky as when his mentor Vesemir fights the
This Legends of Tomorrow review contains spoilers. Legends of Tomorrow Season 6 Episode 13 I think I’ve been a little hard on this season of Legends of Tomorrow. I’ve been fairly vocal about how Constantine was starting to fall apart for me, but both from my own perspective and from what the show is trying
This My Hero Academia review contains spoilers. My Hero Academia Season 5 Episode 20 “‘Villain’ means one who turns nonsense into action.” Perspective is everything. One of the most satisfying aspects of My Hero Academia is that it doesn’t shy away from the fine line that can differentiate heroes and villains. The anime, by nature,
It’s Friday, which means that it’s time for Netflix to release another generic action thriller into the wild. This week it’s Sweet Girl, which stars Jason Momoa as a devoted husband and father whose loss of his wife to cancer — which could have been possibly prevented had the big, bad pharma company done the
The Protégé is the story of three deadly assassins, trained killers for seemingly their entire lives, whose paths cross in unexpected ways.

When Netflix appeared at the 2021 Television Critics Association’s summer press tour on Aug. 19, the streaming giant could have used the occasion to hype up any number of its original offerings. Game of Thrones showrunners D.B. Weiss and David Benioff’s first Netflix drama, The Chair, was set to premiere the day after on Aug.
Despite facing several lawsuits and serious allegations of a sexist, toxic work culture where women and marginalized workers have felt unsafe and/or mistreated, Activision Blizzard has gone ahead and announced the next Call of Duty game anyway. It’s called Call of Duty: Vanguard and it releases on Nov. 5. The new installment, which is being

This RIVERDALE review contains spoilers. Riverdale Season 5 Episode 12 “Now at least you can become the man you were destined to be.” Despite the evil travails of everyone from The Black Hood to the Gargoyle King, the most noteworthy of Riverdale‘s rogue’s gallery of Big Bads remains Hiram Lodge. So it isn’t much of
This Beckett article contains spoilers. You could be forgiven, going into the new Netflix thriller, Beckett, for expecting a vibe not dissimilar to John David Washington’s last big movie, Tenet. Like Tenet, Beckett is a conspiracy thriller about someone who finds themselves out of their depth, with chase scenes and gunplay aplenty, and Netflix probably
It’s time for a solo superhero movie like no other, and Marvel Studios is setting out to deliver just that with their new MCU Phase 4 entry Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, which is set after the events of Avengers: Endgame. Destin Daniel Cretton (Short Term 12) directed, with Kim’s Convenience star
Aliens is obviously widely regarded as one of the greatest sequels in cinema history. Yet, despite only adding a subtle pluralization to the title of Ridley Scott’s 1979 bellwether chiller, director James Cameron whisked Sigourney Weaver’s embattled Ellen Ripley away from the spaceship-stuck shadowy insular horror of just one loose Xenomorph into a balls-to-the-wall surface
There are some who would have you believe that Super Mario Bros, the 1993 live-action film based on the hit Nintendo franchise, is a bad movie. The late, great, Bob Hoskins, who actually starred as Mario, was one of them. “It was a fuckin’ nightmare,” Hoskins told The Guardian in 2007. “The whole experience was
Diablo 2: Resurrected‘s recent Early Access Beta (which will be open to the public starting on August 20th) gave fans another chance to dive into this highly-anticipated remaster and see whether or not this game lives up to the hype or whether we’re looking at another Warcraft 3: Reforged situation.

This article contains spoilers for The White Lotus. There’s a moment in the first episode of The White Lotus in which a character heads up to the front desk at the eponymous Hawaiian resort and asks the manager for some activity recommendations.
