Stargirl Will Return for Season 2, But Only on the CW

The relationship between DC Universe and the various arms of the Warner Bros. corporation continues to get weirder and weirder, as evidenced by all the nonsense about the movies on HBO Max, the strange partnerships for its originals like Doom Patrol and Swamp Thing, and so on. But now, there are even more signs pointing…

DragonCon 2020 in Atlanta Is Officially, Finally, Going Virtual

Another of the biggest convention holdouts has just given up its battle with covid-19. DragonCon 2020, scheduled for September 3-7 in Atlanta, GA, has now officially been postponed and will be held virtually. This comes after months of assurance the event was “moving forward…on schedule,” according to the official website. That’s no longer the case.…

Get Ready for a ‘Stan Lee Universe’ of Shows and Movies That Has Nothing to Do With Marvel

In the months leading up to Stan Lee’s death, the comics legend was embroiled in a number of legal disputes both against individual people and companies as a whole, like Pow!, the entertainment production outfit Lee co-founded that he also sued in 2018 to the tune of $1 billion for allegedly forging Lee’s signature in…

Ennio Morricone, Movie Composing Legend, Has Passed Away

Ennio Morricone, one of the most beloved movie composers of the 20th century, has died. The legendary Italian artist, who was 91, passed after suffering complications from a recent fall. Morricone’s filmography numbers well into the hundreds, a body of work over seven decades that, much like his most famous soundtracks, speaks for itself. But…

Exclusive: Infinity Train‘s Third Season Is Bringing Anarchy to HBO Max

Infinity Train’s second season introduced us to The Apex, an anarchic group of young passengers who, unlike the series’ original protagonist Tulip, saw being trapped on the titular train as an opportunity rather than a curse. Where Tulip understood that the point of the train was to work through the cars while working to get…

Netflix’s Into the Night Outruns the Sun Long Enough to Get a Second Season

Netflix’s Into the Night is a point of personal fascination for me, for the sole and entire reason that is absolutely bizarre. A thriller about literally outrunning the sun, it is a weird melange of influences and concepts, including being inspired by a novel (Jacek Dukaj’s The Old Axolotl) that it does not resemble in any…

Nintendo Needs to Bring These Apps to Animal Crossing’s Nook Phone Right Now

Animal Crossing: New Horizons may have outsold every other entry in the series and become the quarantine game du jour, but there’s always room for improvement. Because let’s face it, for every good design decision Nintendo makes, there are just as many questionable ones. Take the Nook Phone, for instance. A new addition to the…

This Star Wars Concept Art Shows Off the Complex Stylings of Enfys Nest’s Gang

When it comes to character designs, Star Wars gets criminals right. For more proof of this assertion, look no further than some concept art recently posted by Adam Brockbank, a concept artist with an extensive body of Star Wars work. His most recent glimpse behind the scenes comes from concept art showcasing prospective costumes for…

Sony’s Still Not Sure a Silver and Black Movie Can Work Without Spider-Man

For a while, Sony’s been struggling to make a Silver and Black movie—that is, a movie starring the dynamic duo of Black Cat and Silver Sable, both supporting Spider-Man characters. According to Gina Prince-Bythewood, who was at one point attached to that film, the company is still struggling. Talking to Games Radar, Prince-Blythewood, who’s promoting…

Harper Collins Is Putting Out a New The Hobbit Audiobook With Andy Serkis

Andy Serkis made a name for himself as a motion capture actor, and the big franchise that truly proved his talent was Lord of the Rings, where he famously played Gollum. His face, and his voice, are inseparable from Tolkien’s story for fans of Peter Jackson’s films. And for those fans, it’s exciting to know…

Mike Flanagan’s Version of Stephen King’s Revival Is Going to Be Bleak

Mike Flanagan’s version of Doctor Sleep was a fairly hopeful film. It had closure, the overcoming of trauma, the tying up of loose ends. Revival, Flanagan’s next tackling of a Stephen King property, looks like it’s going to have none of that. Misery it is! (Not Misery, though.) Revival, in case you’re not an expert…

The Latest Into the Dark Episode Is About an Amnesiac Who Might Be the President

Happy Fourth of July? Into the Dark, Blumhouse’s anthology of holiday-based horror shorts, is back on Hulu for its second season with another round of twelve festive (?) episodes, the latest of which is about America’s Independence Day, a day celebrated by fireworks, cookouts (when there’s not a pandemic happening), and, apparently, creepy Manchurian Candidate…

New Zealand Authorizes Several Film and TV Productions to Start Up, Including Lord of the Rings and Cowboy Bebop

New Zealand is handling covid-19 better than most, with ongoing cases in the country down to a handful. That makes it a promising place to resume production on all those TV shows and movies we love, and the country has recently authorized a handful of productions to resume or begin inside the country’s borders. As…

The Phineas and Ferb Movie Has a Release Date on Disney Plus

Phineas and Ferb, the well-liked Disney cartoon with the extremely angular-headed protagonist, has been off the air for a solid five years now, which makes the impending release of a movie very welcome. Now that movie has a release date. As reported by Entertainment Weekly, Phineas and Ferb the Movie: Candace Against the Universe is…

An American Pickle Is a Classic Immigrant Story, Except for the Pickle Thing

We’ve all heard the story. A family comes from the old country. They work hard. They hope. They dream. One of them… gets preserved in pickle brine. An American Pickle, Seth Rogen’s latest filmand an unexpected wrinkle in the continuum of pickle-related science fiction memes, is an extraordinarily odd creature. A fish-out-of-water comedy, it stars…

10 Years Later, Christopher Nolan’s Inception Remains Magnificent

Somehow, 2010’s Inception has suddenly become topical again—an idea that seems like it was mysteriously planted in our minds by Leonardo DiCaprio himself. In reality, though, people are talking about Christopher Nolan’s trippy hit for a few good reasons: the film has been a Netflix staple for all of 2020 (when lots of people have…
