Kingsman 2‘s Plot Sounds Delightfully Bonkers

The sequel to Kingsman got a subtitle this weekend, the wonderfully nonsense-sounding The Golden Circle. But we also found out just enough about the plot to be convinced that it’s going to be as out there as the original. Empire Magazine has a feature on the sequel, which will include another barroom fight (required by…

What in God’s Name Is Going On in This Batman v Superman Deleted Scene

Batman v Superman may have only just come out, but Warner Bros is already teasing the release of its R-rated home edition.

Obama Keeps Inviting Star Wars Stormtroopers to The White House

Today’s Easter Egg Roll at the White House had everything: The Easter Bunny, lots of Easter eggs, and… stormtroopers? For some reason Star Wars stormtroopers keep showing up at Obama events. But the weirdest part might be that Obama hasn’t even seen The Force Awakens yet. Every two-term president has a scandal in their second…

All the Ways Batman v Superman Sets Up a Future DC Universe

There’s a reason Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice went with that slightly wordy title. In addition to featuring a showdown between the two DC heavyweights, Zack Snyder’s film was largely created to help set up a bigger DC Extended Universe. How exactly did it do that? We’ve got you covered. Major spoilers follow. Batman’s…

This Smart Wine Bottle Makes Getting Drunk Way Too Complicated

According to some people (our esteemed editor-in-chief) the biggest problem with wine is that eventually you have to go buy more wine because you killed the bottle. For others (like myself) the biggest problem is that you don’t always kill the $30+ bottle of wine in a night. The wine’s flavor changes over the next…

Alton Brown has been the world’s preeminent food science wizard since the early days of the Food Network, and he’s about to embark on his second tour.

Last Night’s Walking Dead Was Kinda Bullshit

Man. I don’t know that I’ve ever felt more ambivalent about an episode of The Walking Dead before. As the penultimate episode of season six, “East” is mostly about wasting time until next week’s finale and the arrival of Negan (finally). Thank goodness some of that time was also spent on a conversation the show…

The Western Attack on Titan Comic Has Some Serious Talent Behind It

The Attack on Titan manga is still one of the most popular Japanese comics in the world, but this fall, a new anthology of stories set in Hajime Isayama’s bleak world of human-chomping giants is coming from a team of western creators—not as a manga, but an American-style comic—and there are some huge names taking…

The Most Jaw-Dropping Cosplay From Wondercon 2016

Our favorite heroes and villains live in our imaginations, and no live-action movie or TV show can ever entirely capture the ideal image we keep in our heads. But sometimes?

Oculus Rift Review: This Shit Is Legit

Virtual reality has never really convinced me it’s worth the hassle. The roughly developed attempts so far never seem to justify the awkward hardware or the stomach queasiness. Even after strapping on one of Oculus’ early development headsets and seeing something really cool, I was out of there within twenty minutes and wondering more about…

How the 1940s Superman Cartoon Changed Eveything

The Superman cartoons from the 1940s were animated with a beauty and fluidity not seen before, but they were also hugely influential outside the world of animation. In order to achieve realistic movement, the series’ animator Max Fleischer—who also created Popeye and Betty Boop—used a technique he invented called rotoscoping. The process involved animating on…
