9 Horror Stories From People Who Had Their Electronic Devices Searched at the Border

Traveling to the United States can be a huge hassle. Even if you’re an American citizen, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) can pull you aside for extensive and invasive “secondary screening.” And by all accounts, this process has gotten worse since Donald Trump was elected.

The First Reactions to Thor: Ragnarok Live Up to Your Hulk-Sized Expectations

Everything we’ve seen from Thor: Ragnarok has blown us away. Bright, fun, Marvel movies have become the norm but, somehow, this has looked different. The trailers and clips have been trippy, manic, and hilarious. Plus, with each new look, they’ve only gotten weirder. Could the film actually live up to that insanity and our growing expectations?

The X-Files‘ Return Resurrects an Old Favorite and a Major Dropped Plot Point

At New York Comic Con, Fox released the very first look at the eleventh season of The X-Files, due on our screens next year. They’ve only filmed five of the ten new episodes, so we know that only those episodes must be included. Which means there’s a lot going on in the beginning of the…

That McDonald’s Rick and Morty Promotion Did Not Go Well

Yesterday, McDonald’s made an offer to Rick and Morty fans the country over: come to our restaurants, and claim the Szechuan Sauce your favorite amoral cartoon scientist adores.

The Shadow of Superman Looms Large in New Justice League Trailer

A world burning in red. Alien monsters everywhere. And one big hero, absent, unable to help prevent it all. Seems like a job for the Justice League.

The First Episode of Hulu’s Runaways Is a Dynamic Spin On The Angsty Teen Genre

The premise of Marvel’s original Runaways comic series has so many moving parts that the idea of distilling it all down into an hour-long television pilot boggles the mind, and yet that exactly what Hulu’s live-action adaptation manages to do. Even by comic book standards, Runaways’ cast of core characters is a big one. There…
