After spending some time away, Bo Peep made her badass return in Toy Story 4. She introduced Woody to the idea that toys don’t have to stay devoted to one kid, but can do lots of things—like help other toys find their own path. It was a message the franchise needed, about how we all…

Disney’s New Bedtime Hotline for Kids Lets Yoda Creep You the Hell Out Before Sleeping

As another reminder of Disney owning a good chunk of the things we love, the company’s newly relaunched, limited time Bedtime Hotline service has added some characters from its most popular acquisitions.

Iron Man Had an Alternate Post-Credits Scene Where Nick Fury Referenced the X-Men

Iron Man’s post-credits scene was a game-changing moment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, because it was the very thing that established the MCU in the first place.

Of Course The Mandalorian Is Interested in What the Expanded Universe Could Add Back to Star Wars Canon

Ever since Disney and Lucasfilm rehauled the Star Wars canon in the wake of the former’s acquisition of the latter, the Expanded Universe, a vault of Star Wars storytelling for decades, was reclassified as mythological “legend,” non-canonical tales of a bygone age. But that doesn’t mean it’s gone for good, and the people behind The…

Why Don’t We Talk About Shelley Duvall’s Mother Goose Rock ‘n’ Rhyme More?

Every so often, you come across a cult classic that you’ve somehow never heard of, despite the fact that it’s so exactly your specific brand of weird. Take, for example, Shelley Duvall’s Mother Goose Rock ‘n’ Rhyme, the candy-colored, existential fever dream of a Disney Channel musical from 1990. Like a lot of the Disney…

Avengers: Endgame’s Most Important Hero Was Not a CGI Effect

In a movie like Avengers: Endgame, you’re dealing in worlds, characters, and costumes that are all built from visual effects, to the point where even the office building from the Captain America vs. Captain America fight was all-digital. Sometimes, it’s nice to celebrate the moments that were real. One character, arguably the greatest hero of…

Watch Avengers: Endgame‘s Final Battle Come Together in This Flashy VFX Reel

The cathartic release of Endgame’s cataclysmic final battle between the gathered heroes of a decade’s worth of Marvel blockbusters and the forces of Thanos is a moment of abject, indulgent spectacle in a movie crammed full of them.

Star Wars Wings, Ranked

Star Wars, at its core, is a very silly franchise. A delightfully silly one, more often than not, fascinated with minutiae and over-explanation in few ways other sagas would be.
