The Mandalorian Went Full Horror, But With Tons of Adorable Baby Yoda

Can’t the Mandalorian and the Child get a few moments of peace and quiet? It seems like the instant one adventure ends, such as defeating a huge Krayt dragon, another one starts right up again. If you thought the dragon was big, bad, and scary, The Mandalorian just said “Hold my blue milk.” “Chapter 10”…

That’s Bait

After 12 years Supernatural finally did it! Sort of. Kind of. OK, did you watch last night’s Supernatural yet? If not, time to click away. We’re talking “Despair.” In a scene ripped straight out of Joss Whedon’s Buffy or Angel, the (unrelated) angel Castiel (Misha Collins) admitted that his one true moment of happiness—his most…

Mimic, Guillermo del Toro’s Most ‘Hollywood’ Movie, Is Still a Creepy-Crawly Chiller

Four years after his first feature, Cronos, Guillermo del Toro made his Hollywood debut with Mimic and famously hated the experience. Though he might have been hamstrung in certain arenas while making the movie, Mimic is still stuffed full of del Toro trademarks—and 23 years later, it’s fascinating to revisit. If you’re looking to watch,…

Two Weeks with the PS5: How Sony Is Adopting the Best Aspects of PC Gaming

Ever since Sony switched away from the Cell processor architecture it used on the PS3 and adopted x86-based chips and AMD GPUs for current-gen consoles, the PS4 (and the Xbox One for that matter) have been viewed by many as dumbed-down PCs. That’s a line of thinking that never really made sense to me. But…

Spider-Man: Miles Morales Is a Smaller, Stronger Game Than Its Predecessor

Marvel’s Spider-Man took open-world gaming tropes and crafted a sweeping comic book tale. The game wore its love and understanding of the duality that makes its titular hero the greatest comic book hero of all time proudly on its chest. Its follow-up, Spider-Man: Miles Morales, focusing on a fellow Spider-hero, is more of the same:…

The Director of Twister Tried to Make a Godzilla Movie Before the 1998 Version

You don’t need to be a Godzilla fan to know Roland Emmerich’s 1998 film is a black mark on the franchise. Besides changing the design of Godzilla, it was just generally a poor movie that got dismissive reviews and barely made back its large budget in the United States. What you probably do have to…
