We’ve known for some time that the Expanse book series (written by Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck, known together as James S.A. Corey) would probably be coming to an end with its ninth entry. What we haven’t known is the title of that book, or when to expect it—until today. This afternoon during a virtual fan…

The Mandalorian’s Season 2 Trailer Is Here, and It Brought Baby Yoda

This is the way to more episodes of The Mandalorian. And more Baby Yoda adorableness, of course. Out of nowhere, Lucasfilm dropped our very first look at The Mandalorian’s sophomore season in action, picking up where season one left off: Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal), our titular bounty hunting hero, and his newly-inducted clanmate “The Child”…

Goodbye CBS All Access, Hello Paramount+

Just as CBS All Access was finally getting good, ViacomCBS announced today it will rebrand the whole thing as Paramount+ in early 2021. Are we surprised that yet another media company has decided to name its streaming service after a brand followed by the humble + sign? Pfft. Of course not. That would require originality.…

This Mandalorian Video Illustrates Just How Wild the Production Was

One of the most impressive things about The Mandalorian is the way that it gives you a rather solid idea of what life is like for people living in the larger Star Wars universe. But as grounded in reality as the show makes things seem, it truly is just a game of smoke and mirrors, as…

Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous Might Be the Most Violent Kids Show Out There

Netflix’s Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous opens on a kid running for his life. He watches his guide get eaten by velociraptors before he himself is swallowed by a T-Rex. It turns out it was just a VR video game, but that kind of represents the whole series: Children being “safely” traumatized. It’s hard to figure…

Apple Updates App Store Rules Regarding Game Streaming, Still Doesn’t Really Allow Game Streaming

Earlier today, Apple posted an update to its guidelines for the App Store including new language regarding game streaming that makes it appear as if game streaming services are technically allowed. However, in practice that doesn’t seem to be true. Aside from the recent spat between Apple and Epic after Fortnite got booted from the…

Disney’s Response to Mulan‘s Xinjiang Backlash Is Unsurprisingly Vague

Disney, one of the largest and most influential movie studios in the world, arguably had a single job to do when controversy exploded in the wake of Mulan’s at-home release.

Steven Spielberg Insisted Netflix’s Jurassic World Cartoon Pull No Punches

Netflix’s Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous isn’t just about six kids having fun with dinosaurs. There’s terror, pain, suffering, even death. The showrunners said they couldn’t do a Jurassic Worldseries any other way, even if it’s supposed to be for kids. After all, the command came from Steven Spielberg himself. “When Steven gave the okay for…

On Star Trek: Lower Decks, We Finally Meet an Ensign Who Actually Sucks at Their Job

When Star Trek: Lower Decks was first announced, the elevator pitch was essentially “people on an unimportant Starfleet ship being comically bad at their jobs.” And while its heroes have done plenty of mucking up (about as much as any Starfleet officer we’ve met on screen does, really), Lower Decks so far has introduced a crew…

Kenny Ortega, you son of a ghoul: You’ve done it again. Netflix’s Julie and the Phantoms is the kind of series only the man behind High School Musical and Hocus Pocus could make. It might seem like a kids’ show about a teen who rediscovers her love of music, but under the surface lurks a…

Star Trek: Discovery‘s New Trailer Brings the Fight for the Federation to the Far Future

Disney’s Mulan Faces Backlash for Thanking Chinese Region Marred by Human Rights Violations

Disney’s Mulan is the story of a woman who overcomes systemic oppression to serve her country. But its message of fighting for one’s rights has been clouded, as Disney stands accused of overlooking actual oppression of Muslims in China to make its movie.
