Through the Ghosts of Revenge of the Sith, Darth Vader Finds a Semblance of Peace

The third run of Darth Vader at Marvel Comics has done a grand job building on its predecessor’s examinations of the titular Dark Lord. It’s looked at him both as the fascinating figure of power we’ve admired across Star Wars’ long history, but also as the equally intriguing bridge between Star Wars’ original and prequel…

Harley Quinn Renewed for Season 3 on HBO Max

At the end of Harley Quinn’s second season, the show gave fans almost everything they’ve always wanted and closed out on a note that truly works as a satisfying end to the foul-mouthed series. But why be contentwith just two seasons of damned-good storytelling when you can have a third? It’s news we expected to…

The Excellent DC Universe Is Dead, and a Comics-Only Service Is Taking Its Place

Today DC Entertainment announced that as of January 21, 2021 DC Universe will “evolve” into DC Universe Infinite, a comics only service. It’s a shame, because DC Universe has lowkey been one of the best streaming services you could drop cash on every month—if you’re a giant nerd like myself. The combination of old superhero…

Ridley Scott’s sci-fi thriller Raised By Wolves is officially a hit: today, HBO Max announced it’s ordered a second season.

Lovecraft Country‘s Wunmi Mosaku and Abbey Lee Discuss the Intricacies of Ruby and Christina

Why Isn’t Close Encounters Considered Steven Spielberg’s Ultimate Masterpiece? Because It Kind of Is

Many people would agree that Close Encounters of the Third Kind is a straight-up masterpiece. That’s not some wild stretch. And yet, ask those same people what the best Steven Spielberg movies are and there’s a very good chance it barely makes the top five. (Seriously. I ran a poll to check this. It’s true.)…

The Sims 4 Star Wars: Journey to Batuu Provided the ‘Perfect’ Family Vacation

Disney World in Florida has been busy prepping for the holiday season (during an ongoing pandemic). This comes as the California Attractions and Parks Association urges Governor Gavin Newsom to reopen Disneyland (even though the state is facing one of the worst fire seasons in history). Clearly, neither of these parks are a good idea…

Finally, a Cartoon Brave Enough to Tell 10-Year-Olds That Having a Drink Will Kill Them and Everyone They Know

Remember The Littles? It’s fine if you don’t. It’s one of the billions of lesser-loved ‘80s cartoons, based on the long-running but still lesser-known children’s novels of the same name. The premise is almost identical to The Borrowers, in which a group of extremely tiny people secretly live inside humans’ houses while trying not to…

The Batman Returns to Production Following Robert Pattinson’s Coronavirus Diagnosis

Hopefully this time around he’ll learn there are better masks than a cowl. Two weeks ago, recently resumed production on Matt Reeves’ The Batman hit a roadblock in the form of titular star Robert Pattinson contracting covid-19, forcing him into a period of quarantine. Production shut down entirely, but it seems that right as Pattinson’s…

Star Trek: Lower Decks Took a Serious Turn, and Really Earned It

Seven episodes into Star Trek: Lower Decks, the show has found itself in a comfortable, if at times frustrating, groove. We have a plot for one half of our Lower Deckers, we have a subplot for the other, and in both, there are lots of fun trope poking. It’s all very earnest and silly fun.…
