In the final months of Stan Lee’s life, the comics legend began taking the necessary steps to distance and disentangle himself from people like his one time manager and caretaker Keya Morgan who had considerable access to his finances. Morgan is in the news again this week, having been charged with elder abuse in Los…

Dark Phoenix looks back on the X-Men movie legacy to tease what’s to come. Get a look at Sarge’s new team on Agents of SHIELD. Plus, what’s on the way for Legends of Tomorrow, and a new glimpse at Pennyworth. To me, my spoilers!

I saw the first Maleficent. I remember thinking it was fine. Five years later, however, I have no memory of it except that it was a huge hit—and now, there’s a sequel coming out, which just dropped its first trailer.

We’re now one episode away from the end of HBO’s Game of Thrones. While the final season of the groundbreaking fantasy series has been, umm, a bit divisive...it still represents a decade of growth, change, and storytelling. To show us where the series has gone, and how it ended, HBO will be airing a new documentary…

Eddie Alcazar’s Perfect is like that rare, fleeting Instagram video ad whose arresting visuals actually manage to make you stop scrolling for a moment to drink it in and consider tapping through. Even if it’s confounding at face value, there’s the promise of something more illuminating should you look past its…

On a list of already great ideas that deserve a fresh reimagining, Honey, I Shrunk the Kids has to be near the top. And while rumors of a new sequel or reboot have been circling for a while, it seems the idea may have just blown up in size.

These days, good genre shows are usually relegated to cable networks or streaming services. Netflix, FX, Syfy, Cartoon Network, HBO, and so on. There are exceptions, of course. The Good Place and the DC shows, for example. But if history has taught us anything it’s that most of the time genre shows on network TV are…

If you thought that turn on Game of Thrones felt surprising, or like it came out of nowhere...you haven’t been paying attention.

In Tolkien, the new biopic of the early life of fantasy writer J.R.R. Tolkien, the author (Nicholas Hoult) is attending Exeter College in Oxford when he receives a letter from Edith, his childhood sweetheart, announcing she’s engaged to someone else. Distraught, Tolkien gets drunk and winds up stumbling through the…

While Avengers: Endgame is very good at drawing you into the sheer spectacle of itself as you’re watching, when you give it some distance, the movie’s narrative weaknesses become readily apparent. And that’s before the Russo Brothers started to further complicate things with their post-hoc musings. Apparently, though,…

The climax of Detective Pikachu goes to a completely wild place, a place it arrives at seemingly out of nowhere. Partially because it’s not particularly set up well by the movie, but also partially because it’s completely insane. But it actually has some interesting connections to a moment from the very first Pokémon…

Whether you love or hate this season of Game of Thrones, you can’t deny that a lot is happening as the show approaches its conclusion. In the penultimate episode, “The Bells,” that was certainly the case, with several key characters meeting their ultimate fates. Thankfully, many of actors are on the record about those…

This will be shocking for some, but you can have an engaging, thoughtful, and compelling villainess without a third-act heel turn that gives the audience whiplash. So while Game of Thrones horrified some (in a good way) and appalled others (in a bad way), Supergirl—the other genre show screening on Sunday nights—was…

Scientists warned last week that a million species could go extinct, and it’s all our fault. Well, not “our” as in you and I, but “our” as in humanity.
