James Wan Put That Pitbull Song in Aquaman Precisely Because It’s Ridiculous

Sometimes, you just have to lean into it. And that was James Wan’s precise reaction when asked about “Ocean to Ocean”, Pitbull’s… interesting… remix of Toto’s “Africa.” The song appears both on the soundtrack and in a moment in the film, and Wan has a pretty clear explanation as to why. “[Putting] the song in…

Billy Eichner’s Namor Really, Really Does Not Appreciate the Aquaman Movie

Aquaman’s in the limelight, but Marvel has its own ocean-faring counterpart, and he is not happy. Namor the Sub-Mariner has a lot of the same things going for him as Aquaman.

Joy to the World, Into the Spider-Verse‘s Christmas Album Is Real [UPDATE: And It’s Here!]

Hark the herald angels…websling? Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is full of many hilarious gags—one of the best of which is that the experienced Peter Parker we meet in the beginning of the film is so used to the whole superhero thing that he’s got his own comic books (imagine that!), his own breakfast cereal, and…

Horns Up for Heavy Metal Horror Comedy Short We Summoned a Demon

What happens when a pair of dudes blunder through a black-magic ritual and accidentally unleash an agent of Satan?

While the leading characters in Sony’s Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse are incredible enough all on their own, the surprisingly large cast of supporting characters really make the movie shine in a way that’s a little difficult to put your finger on, exactly—until the credits start rolling.
