Directed by Jude Weng and written by Christina Strain, Finding ‘Ohana is a Netflix original movie about a family forced to leave their New York…

Quibi’s Decaying Library of Content Will Soon Be Free on Roku

Quibi’s content is officially heading to Roku.

Bedknobs and Broomsticks Turns 50 This Year and It’s Way Weirder Than You Remembered

Congratulations to Disney classic Bedknobs and Broomsticks, not just for making it to the half-century mark, but for having a tone of oddball whimsy that feels just as weird today as it probably did in 1971. Witchcraft, orphans, Nazis, dance routines, animated animals, Angela Lansbury? Just a few of its extraordinary ingredients. You’d be forgiven…

Transformers Just Shook Up Its Lore in a Wild Way

Transformers is a franchise that from the get-go has almost been ceaselessly fascinated with its past.
