Breaking Down the Deadly Past and Comic Book Connections of Black Widow‘s First Trailer

Out of nowhere at the crack of dawn this morning, Marvel Studios gave us our first surprise look at Black Widow, the solo spy movie fans have been dying to see since Scarlett Johansson pummeled the hell out of some dudes in a corridor in Iron Man 2 nine years ago. Now, even if Natasha…

The Mandalorian Isn’t Perfect, and That’s Why He’s So Compelling

He walks like Boba Fett. He talks like Boba Fett (and literally anyone in Star Wars with a helmet on all the time). He looks like Boba Fett. You might have assumed coming into The Mandalorian that the titular hero of the new Star Wars show might have the legendary reputation to match. But he…

Netflix Is Testing a Shuffle Feature That Could Make Your Binges Even Lazier

Series-binging sometimes means throwing on random reruns of a favorite series just to keep you occupied—it’s one of the great benefits of cord-cutting, after all. But the lack of a shuffle function on many popular platforms means you’re generally stuck committing to a season and starting from the top or cherry-picking what to watch next…

These Mondo Posters Probably Won’t Make You Cry But, They’re Pixar, So It’s Possible

Pixar movies bond us through tears. Each and every film released by the animation studio is carefully crafted to tug at those heartstrings and make some, if not all, of its audience members cry. And any movie that makes you cry tends to stay with you long after you leave the theater. Movies like those…

Black Widow‘s First Trailer Promises a Deadly Family Reunion

Much like a deadly spy on a mission to eliminate its target, the first trailer for Marvel’s upcoming Black Widow standalone movie snuck up in the dead of night, and now it’s coming for all of our necks. The Avengers and co. have always been the closest thing that the MCU’s Natasha Romanov has ever…

Baby Yoda Could Definitely Take Darth Sidious in a Fight

One of the most thrilling matchups in the history of Star Wars is between Yoda and Palpatine. Darth Sidious himself, Lord of the Sith, destroyer of the Jedi, master of Darth Vader, vs. the greatest Jedi to ever live (in canon, anyways, sorry Revan stans). It can’t be topped. Unless…. You knew it was coming.…

The Smallest Gift I Got From Galaxy’s Edge Might Be My Favorite Thing There

If Darth Vader is more machine than man, then Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge is perhaps more gift shop than it is theme park. The planet Batuu, alien as it is, understands the very human impulse of buying shiny things—but for all the very flashy things you can get there, my favorite memory of it might…

The Mandalorian Can’t Catch a Break

Oh, what’s that? You wanted more Baby Yoda? The Mandalorian provides. Episode four of The Mandalorian is called “Sanctuary,” as in, what the Mandalorian needs in his life. He just needs a place to hide. Somewhere to lay low while the heat from his previous action dies down. He’s just betrayed the bounty hunters code…

Star Wars Babies, Ranked

The arrival of The Mandalorian’s shocking true star, Baby Yoda, has sent the internet into a flurry of wild speculation and rampant desire for merchandise, as any good baby should. But baby Yoda isn’t Star Wars’ first go at the infant rodeo—can he compete with the cutest the galaxy has to offer? 10) Porglets Porgs?…

The New Avengers VR Game Is Fun, If Inconsequential

A common critique of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is that many of its entries can feel like forgettable fluff: fine and fun in the moment, but will immediately vacate your head the minute those post-credit-scenes stop rolling. Avengers: Damage Control might come in an interesting format, but it would do little to assuage that critique.…

Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Is Almost Too Alien for Its Own Good

Disney’s Star Wars land is unlike anything else at its plethora of theme parks across the world. It doesn’t feel like you’re in a theme park, even as people queue across the courtyards of Batuu for a chance to get to fly the Millennium Falcon. But as fascinatingly unique as that is, it already feels…

Who Had Bets on John Boyega Leaking the Rise of Skywalker Script?

These days, secrecy around some of the biggest blockbuster shows and movies is a little absurd. Everything’s locked down, scripts self-delete, drones swarm the skies above in an attempt to deflect prying eyes. It’s all a bit much to keep plot points hidden, but sometimes all the fancy prevention in the world can’t stop John…

Frozen II’s Songwriters on Why Kristoff’s Song Sounds Like That

When I was getting ready to see Frozen II, a friend of mine had only one thing to say: “Just wait until you get to Kristoff’s song.” The Disney sequel largely sticks close to the tone of the original film, with one singing reindeer-sized exception. The songwriters behind Frozen II are here to explain the…

Don’t Get Too Excited About the First Baby Yoda Merch

The best way to ensure that the secrets of a popular project remain secrets is not to have any merchandise. Many times, merch leaks are how fans find out specific characters or plot points. So, in the case of The Mandalorian, no merch was created that revealed the show’s big secret: Baby Yoda, aka the…

The music of Star Wars is arguably the most iconic thing about it. John Williams’ scores for the eight (soon nine) film saga are instantly recognizable to people who don’t even know the movies. In fact, George Lucas often credits Williams’ music with making the films so successful. Dipping a toe in that type of…

There’s nothing quite like an actor who’s at the end of their franchise and feels like they can finally be honest. Star Wars star Daisy Ridley may have sung the praises of porgs back when The Last Jedi was out, but now that she’s nearing the end of her journey with The Rise of Skywalker,…
