Wun Wun-sized? Because Wun Wun is a giant? Oh, you get it. Entertainment Weekly says that the 10th episode of this generally excellent season of Game of Thrones will be a rather massive 69 minutes long.

See the Creation of the Ecto-1 in the Newest Ghostbusters Featurette

In the latest Ghostbusters featurette, not only does the cast and crew speak lovingly about the new and old Ecto-1, but we actually see a lot more of its upcoming in-movie history. I don’t think it’s going to shock people to know that Holtzmann (Kate McKinnon) is behind a lot of the changes. In addition…

A Short Film Explores the Romantic Comedy Side of the Apocalypse

There’s a lot in Heather Jack’s “Let’s Not Panic” that we’ve seen before, but it’s been arranged in such a fun way that it does not matter. From the framing device of the therapist’s office to the neurotic neighbor to the asteroid hurtling toward New York, “Let’s Not Panic” uses a lot of common tropes.…

How Conjuring 2 Director James Wan Continues to Terrify Audiences

Battling an evil force seems easier than making a horror movie. In horror, the audience goes in expecting to be frightened so, at every moment, they’re trying to stay ahead of the filmmaker. Plus, they’ve seen hundreds of horror movies beforehand. Keeping things fresh seems impossible. Unless you’re one of the best. James Wan is…

You might be forgiven for thinking that Preacher doesn’t have an opening credits sequence, since the first two episodes didn’t have one. But starting with the next episode, 35 seconds of bizarre, barely connected imagery will open the show. See for yourself. Preacher isn’t a show that hides its weirdness, so why should the credits…
