Supergirl finally answers the mystery of podguy definitively. And just happens to do so in an episode that seems to be missing something in the title. Something to do with Will Smith and greetings for an otherworldly visitor. Everyone nailed it; it’s Mon-El (unless it really isn’t, the writers might pull that trick). And he […]
Do you enjoy scaring yourself stupid? Then the 13 Steam games and bonus DLC in the new Demon Bundle is guaranteed to make you scream loud enough to raise the dead! There are three terrifying tiers to explore in this exclusive new deal from Bundle Stars. Tier 1 is priced at just $1.49 for 5 Steam games. […]
“Please don’t kill me, Mr. Ghostface, I wanna be in the sequel!” What a breath of fresh air Scream was. The film is a watershed moment in horror history, the point at which the genre became self-reflective. It’s brazenly meta in its commentary on horror tropes and plot points, and it came at the exact moment […]
On the season opening of Star Wars Rebels, Kanan left the Sith holocron with Bendu. Which would’ve been a great solution for dealing with it, if they were the only ones that knew of its existence. Too bad blind guy somehow forgot about Maul. Ezra and Kanan have had a strained relationship since last season. […]
“TV says you gotta shoot ’em in the head.” Welcome to our new October feature, 31 Days of Fright, wherein I will attempt to watch a horror movie every day for the month of October and then write about it. This is a completely original idea that has never been done by any other website […]
Mark Millar has a long history in the world of comic books. He has a string of hits under his belt over the years, but most people probably know him best from his part in Marvel’s Civil War comic arc. Now, I personally think Civil War is complete shite, but it was still a huge […]
Man, what a missed opportunity. Fear the Walking Dead had the chance to deliver the best episode of its second season, and it squandered that opportunity in every conceivable way. This should have been a gut-wrenching, white-knuckler of a bottle episode, digging deep into the fraying relationship between Travis and Chris, one of the worst […]
Nick Cave is one of rock’s most successful chameleons. Like Bob Dylan and David Bowie before him, Cave vaults and pivots between personas, always committing fully to each one. There was the gleeful silent movie villain of Tender Prey; the feral lothario of Let Love In; the shameless Hemingway imitator of No More Shall We Part; […]
After being away for far too long, Margaux and I reunite to discuss last night’s two-part Halt and Catch Fire. Trevor: I think what I like most about Halt and Catch Fire – well, one of the many things I like about it – is its confidence in its storytelling. These two episodes were not, […]
How do you follow a series-best episode like “People Persons”? If you’re Orange Is the New Black, you come out swinging with “The Animals,” which is something like a perfect follow-up. I know I’ve been beating this drum for twelve episodes now, but I am quite frankly in awe at the level of sheer confidence in front […]
The trailers for TNT’s Animal Kingdom, as effective as they are, are somewhat misleading. By that I mean, they don’t do the show justice. Based on the 2010 Australian film of the same name, Animal Kingdom follows Joshua “J” Cody as he moves in with his criminal empire of a family. It sounds like the setup for an explosive, […]
I knew I’d be watching The Do-Over today, so earlier this week in preparation I sat through Adam Sandler’s debut film for Netflix, The Ridiculous 6. The best thing I can say about Ridiculous 6 is that Vanilla Ice is really funny as Mark Twain, which is not a thing that should be said about any movie, ever. Thankfully, The Do-Over is slightly better. […]
