Space Force‘s New Trailer Wants You to Remember the Very Silly Humans Behind Its Premise

Our first looks at Netflix’s riff on the distinctly very not funny reality of the U.S. government wanting to establish a military branch dedicated to Star Trek riffs and super-duper missiles leaned heavily into the absurdity of its premise. This latest trailer for Space Force goes beyond that to show the human struggles and conflicts…

Legends of Tomorrow Proudly Presents ‘Star Trek: The Wrath of Mickhan’

“Miiiiiiiiiiiiiick!” The CW has released new images from an upcoming episode of DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, which sees the crew hiding out from Charlie’s fate-tastic sisters in a bunch of television shows. We’ll be journeying everywhere from (fake) Downtown Abbey to (fake) Friends, but it’s the (fake) Star Trek and its fantastic wigs that have…

This Excellent Frankenstein Poster Looks Totally Frankensteined

Frankenstein’s monster is kind of like a human puzzle. In most iterations of the story, he was crudely pieced together using leftover body parts before being brought back to life. He’s a hodgepodge. More than a little disjointed. And that’s the energy artist Anthony Petrie shocked into his latest poster. Based on the legendary 1931…

Oh No (Oh Yes?), Disney+ Lets You Turn Its Subtitles Into Comic Sans

We really do live in those interesting times they keep talking about. One of the coolest little features about Disney+ is a settings menu hidden away when you enable subtitles. Unlike a service like Netflix where the choice for subtitles is relatively binary—you either have them on in a language of choice, or you don’t—for…

Batwoman Ripped Off the Bat-Bandage, For Better or Worse

Batman is one of those characters whose casting has a tendency to unleash a certain passion in folks. With every casting there’s criticism. Michael Keaton was too funny to play Batman. Christian Bale was too skinny. Ben Affleck was too Ben Affleck, and Robert Pattinson is apparently too sparkly because over 10 years later people still…

Scream‘s Back, and It’s Bringing David Arquette With It (Again)

Once again, Ghostface is back for his most important task: attempting to ensure the death of Dewey Riley, something it has taken him literally decades to actually do at this point.

Star Trek Ages Terribly When It Tries to Be Contemporary

By its nature, sci-fi is forward-looking. It has to imagine future cultures from the perspective of the time and context it is written in, leading to bizarre situations where the past of its characters is largely formed with a fascination with our recent history. In Star Trek’s case, that sometimes means ships full of Shakespeare…

Harley Quinn Finally Did the Thing, and Did It Right

As bloody, curse-laden, and generally bawdy as DC Universe’s Harley Quinn show is, it’s always displayed a surprising level of emotional intelligence in the way that it’s handled the complicated, interpersonal relationships that have shaped the lives of its characters. As someone fresh out of an abusive relationship, season one Harley needed to take the…

The Umbrella Academy’s Season 2 Date Announcement Shows What Weird Times We’re Living In

If you asked me three months ago whether we’d ever see the day where a major comic book series would announce its second season with a Zoom dance party, I’d say, well—I don’t even know what that question means. Netflix’s The Umbrella Academy is coming back this summer, but the bigger story might be how…
