Dark Phoenix Is a Bittersweet Goodbye to Fox’s X-Men

Simon Kinberg’s Dark Phoenix became one of the most significant of Fox’s X-Men films the moment it became clear it would be the last installment in the franchise that set the stage for the modern comic book movie boom. Not only was the film going to bring the story of Charles Xavier’s mutant heroes to…

Watch Rick and Morty Shill for Justin Roiland’s New Game and Let the Metatextual Crisis Melt Your Brain

Rick and Morty traffics in metatexual, multiversal nonsense with the regularity of a human breathing air. But this new skit advertising co-creator Justin Roiland’s new, not-Rick-and-Morty-but-might-as-well-be video game just takes it to a whole new level. Roiland’s Trover Saves the Universe—a comedy video game in which the player teams up with the titular monster after…

‘The Faceless Ones’ Is the Next Missing Part of Doctor Who History

Slowly but surely, the BBC has started plugging in the missing pieces of Doctor Who’s history—and while it was only recently we got to see another part of that history restored, we already know what gap it’s filling in next. The BBC has announced that “The Faceless Ones”—the eighth serial in Doctor Who’s fourth season,…

Wolverine Isn’t in Dark Phoenix for a Good Reason

Wolverine could have been in Dark Phoenix, but he’s not. That’s probably for the best. Wolverine’s brief cameo in X-Men: Apocalypse was one of the more eyebrow-raising things about the film, because it opened up the possibility for more elements of the original X-films to begin filtering into the newer, younger generation of stories. When…

Listening to Mark Hamill Voice Chucky in Child’s Play Has Us Worried

At first, the idea of Mark Hamill voicing Chucky in Child’s Play was something we all could get behind. Hamill, besides starring in some tiny space franchise, is one of our most dynamic voice actors. Matching his prestige and talent with such an iconic character seemed like a home run. However, Orion Pictures just released…

Good Omens‘ Aziraphale and Crowley Have a Very Nice and Queer Thing Going On

“Hard Times,” the third episode of Amazon’s adaptation of Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman’s Good Omens, is unique among the miniseries’ six, tightly-packed episodes because it slows down for a breath to take a look back at Aziraphale and Crowley’s curiously long-lived friendship. It’s one that dates back to their early days as two of…

Watch Krysten Ritter Kick Ass in Front of—and Behind—Jessica Jones‘ Camera

Jessica Jones’ third season isn’t just the final farewell of both Alias Investigations and the Marvel-Netflix partnership at large, it’s an interesting evolution for star Krysten Ritter, who found herself stepping up to direct an episode for the first time. As this new featurette shows, it’s clear she had a blast. Netflix has dropped a…

The Original Men in Black Marked a Transition of the Hollywood Blockbuster

When most of us think of the original Men in Black, it’s not that significant. It’s a blip on the blockbuster scale. A film that used Will Smith at his prime, had a hit pop song in its credits, and spawned a few sequels. Watching it now though—over 20 years since its 1997 release, on…

A Jurassic World Animated Series From Dreamworks Is Stomping Its Way to Netflix [Updated]

In the Jurassic Park franchise, humans have never had the common sense to learn from their past mistakes and stop trying to genetically engineer dinosaurs. That’s why, whenever something goes wrong at the park, people end up getting killed. But a little loss of life has never been enough to stop the capitalist machine, and…

The Greatest What We Do in the Shadows Moments (So Far)

The only thing I didn’t like about What We Do in the Shadows’ first season? The commercial breaks! Rude interruptions aside, the FX series based on Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement’s brilliant 2014 movie was a consistently hilarious mockumentary about the mundane and occasionally macabre lives of Staten Island’s resident vampires. While we wait for…

One of Good Omens‘ Best Additions Was an Excuse to Give David Tennant and Michael Sheen More to Do

The Good Omens TV show is a delightful adaptation of Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman’s beloved novel—retaining all of its charms while effectively parceling out the book into six neat chunks of TV. But it goes beyond that by adding some wonderful elements to the original, including a grand sequence mainly born out of giving…
