J.J. Abrams Calls Out Sexist Last Jedi Critics for Being Threatened by Women

Women have always been a key part of Star Wars’ mythos, but to hear the way some people reacted to The Last Jedi, you’d think that they feel Star Wars would be better off without any female characters at all.

Jurassic Park Would Have Been an Even Bigger Hit If All the Dinosaurs Were Also Cars

It’s probably greedy to stop and wonder what could make a movie like Jurassic Park—which made over a billion dollars at the box office—even more profitable. But then Hot Wheels went and revealed a new line of half-truck-half-dinosaur character cars for Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, and suddenly a whole new avenue of sequel potential has…

Your Kid Can Now Live Out My Dino-Riding Fantasy

Jurassic Park didn’t exactly tone down its violence and make its dino-stars seem like friendly petting zoo fodder, but that didn’t stop a part of me from fantasizing about one day riding a velociraptor like a mighty stallion. A fantasy that, thanks to Fisher-Price, can now be a reality for kids with this Power Wheels…

Channing Tatum’s Gambit Spinoff Has a Release Date

After the numerous production delays it’s had, the future of Channing Tatum’s long-beleaguered Gambit solo film might seem like it’s in peril, but Fox is still confident the X-Men spinoff will be in theaters next year.

Reminder: Get Ready for the Beginning of the End of Star Wars Rebels This Weekend

After three and a half seasons, the final few episodes of Star Wars Rebels will begin airing this Monday, February 19.

After 25-Year Run, Bandai America Gives Up Power Rangers Toys to Hasbro

Whenever you think about Power Rangers, chances are you think about the American adaptation of the Japanese live-action kids series Super Sentai, a show about brightly colored spandex superheroes dramatically flipping away from pyrotechnics. But the toys based on the various TV series are just as important to the franchise. And now, for the first…

A Toy Design Actually Forced a Change to Star Wars: The Last Jedi

Star Wars and toys have gone hand in hand ever since the franchise kicked off four decades ago. But usually, it’s the movies dictating what we see on store shelves—not the other way around. But in one particularly odd case, it ended up being that way for The Last Jedi. Speaking recently at VFX Festival…

One of Doctor Who‘s Most Underrated Doctors Is Getting His Own Comic

The Seventh Doctor has always had a bit of a bad rap. As the incumbent Doctor for the end of the “Classic” era of Doctor Who, much is put upon Sylvester McCoy’s Time Lord that is a bit undeserved. The Seventh Doctor has had a long life in audio dramas and novels since then, but…

Lego’s New Hogwarts Great Hall Set Is Going to Magically Drain My Wallet

This isn’t Lego’s first attempt at miniaturizing Harry Potter’s Hogwarts Castle (it’s at least the sixth) and at 878-pieces it’s not the largest version either. But somehow the new Hogwarts Great Hall set stands several Hagrids above all the previous versions by recreating, in wonderful detail, one of the franchise’s best set-pieces. The set features…
