I Can’t Help but Wonder Why Wonder Woman Is Shilling Weight-Loss Protein Bars

Warner Bros. got a bit of flack over the past few weeks for its apparent lack of advertising for Wonder Woman, its first female-led superhero film.

What Is Microsoft’s Grand Plan for Phones?

It has been nearly two years since Microsoft introduced a new Windows phone. Sure, HP is still making Windows phones and marketing them to businesses, but Microsoft has been basically silent on the subject of its flagging mobile platform since 2015. There have been zero flagship devices, despite the persistent rumors of a super Surface…

This Mind-Bending Short Focuses on One Man’s Greatest Fear: Symmetry

Symmetropia is a short film that starts weird, gets weirder, and then leaves you sitting there thinking, “What the hell just happened?” It begins with what looks like a man being given the most intense immersion therapy for an irrational fear (symmetry) ever.

The Director of Attack the Block May Finally Have a Follow-Up

When a director bursts onto the scene like Joe Cornish did with Attack the Block, usually that director immediately gets snatched up for another movie. And another. And yet, it’s 2017, and Joe Cornish has yet to direct another movie. That’s not to say he hasn’t been close or courted. He worked closely with Edgar…

Kevin Feige Thinks That Eventually, Marvel TV and Movies Will Cross Over

In the past week, Marvel Studios released a new movie, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, and Marvel TV released trailers for three new TV shows: The Defenders, Runaways, and Inhumans.

Rocket Raccoon Wrecking Ultron in Marvel vs Capcom Infinite Is How Age of Ultron Should’ve Ended

I mean, sure, that forest conversation between Vision and Ultron’s last drone was pretty good. But, like most things, it could’ve been improved if it featured more giant sentient trees flinging things into the air so they could be blown the heck up.

DC Comics Is Starting Its Own Young Readers Imprint

Comics are for everybody—but even as more and more initiatives launch to publish books aimed at young audiences, there’s a distinct lack of major efforts to cater to younger readers at some of the biggest comics publishers. DC at least wants to change that for its own comics, starting next year. Announced today in a…

Thoughts I Had While Watching Law & Order: SVU’s ‘Pizzagate’ Episode

Now in its eighteenth season (!), Law & Order: SVU is famous for storylines that are “ripped from the headlines.” This season alone, episodes have been inspired by the Apple vs. FBI battle, Netflix’s Making a Murderer, and the Roger Ailes saga at Fox News. (An episode that seemed to be inspired by the sexual…

A Deer Was Caught Gnawing on Human Remains and the End Is Nigh

Deer are generally considered one of the more benign creatures of the forest, going about their herbivorous ways in peace. But as new research shows, there’s a dark side to these ungulates.

On Thursday, the House of Representatives passed their version of the American Health Care Act, a bill to replace Obamacare with something that, among many other things, cracks down on women’s health and safety.

Scientists Are Turning WiFi Routers Into Creepy Radar Cameras

Your WiFi router is probably sitting passively in some corner of your room, beaming out invisible light (and the internet). But it’s also sending information on all the stuff the light passes through and around. It’s essentially carrying a holographic image of the room with it. Researchers have tried using WiFi signals to make images…
