And even though Stargirl is the newest and (possibly) youngest superhero to join the DC-TV ranks—especially with her own show—this already feels like…

Joel McHale Is Going to Be Playing a Bill O’Reilly-Type on The X-Files

No. Seriously. Joel McHale’s going to be guest starring in the X-Files as “Tad O’Malley,” the anchor of a conservative Internet network. So, like Bill O’Reilly and Matt Drudge combined.

Spy Kids 4 is the 21st century equivalent of The Children’s Crusade

Despite my elementary school diploma, I loved Spy Kids: All the Time in the World. Why? It’s a chilling examination of an alternate reality in which children have become fellow travelers in global espionage, a parallel universe where Langley is run like Willy Wonka’s candy-colored calorie mill.
