If there’s anything Doctor Who obsessives love more than discussing their favorite incarnation of the iconic character, it’s trying to predict who will portray The Doctor next. With the news that Peter Capaldi’s time as The 12th Doctor is coming to an end at the conclusion of the revival’s 10th season, fans almost immediately started […]

First things first. It is a good thing that we’ve been given the chance to see more of Indiana Jones, Han Solo, and Rick Deckard, three of the most iconic science fiction and fantasy movie characters of a generation. The results of the overall cinematic experiences might leave something to be desired, but the nostalgic kick […]

Most Hollywood actors are constantly fighting against the notion of typecasting, that they’re only good at one type of role. That’s not the case for Max Martini, who seemingly delights in playing one very specific type of character: The Army Badass. From Saving Private Ryan to The Great Raid to the TV show The Unit to Captain Phillips and even 13 Hours: The Secret […]

We could haggle over whether or not it was a down year for television and you could make a decent case that it was a down year for movies, but one entertainment genre that blossomed in 2016 was podcasting. Per Edison Research, 21 percent of Americans 12 or older say they have listened to a […]

Like so many industries, Hollywood is one of trends. Someone figures out a type of movie that works, and all of a sudden, we have 20 more like it. A fresh-faced actor connects with audiences, and now he or she in every movie. A cinematic universe becomes a thing, and so everyone must have one. Movie […]

Monday, Justin Ross Harris was sentenced to life in prison without parole for the murder of his 22-month-old son Cooper, who had died in 2014 after Harris left him in a car for seven hours while at work. The case made national headlines when it first happened and the news of his conviction and sentencing following trail did […]

The worst thing that ever happened to The Walking Dead was its ratings success. Because AMC’s hit show was a hit from the start, TWD has never truly had to make its audience care. The show premiered at a time when American TV viewers were desperate for zombies and the idea of a show centered […]

It’s a golden age of television in America. But if you’re a binge-watcher, you’re bound to hit a wall eventually. If you’re the kind of person who watched the entirety of Luke Cage over a weekend or knocked out all of the latest season of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt in record time, you’ve probably already exhausted all […]

Season three of Black Mirror premiered recently on Netflix, bringing the grand total of episodes to 13. As far as we’re concerned, that’s not nearly enough of this speculative fiction series that takes a look into the near-future to see what technology awaits us and how the effects aren’t always going to be good. As show […]

Let’s begin this review of the new Christopher Guest film Mascots with a segue. Waiting for Guffman is my favorite movie of all time. There isn’t one single, solitary scene in that mockumentary that doesn’t at least make me chuckle, even on the 50th viewing. It’s pitch perfect in it’s balance of pathos and comedy. […]

A recent trailer premiere seemed to confirm two absolute truths about the future of Hollywood blockbusters. Number one, much like cockroaches, Pirates of the Caribbean movies will outlive us all. Javier Bardem is destined to play villains for the rest of his career. True, Bardem is a great villain. His portrayal of Anton Chirgurh in No […]

If I simply described the premise of Fleabag, you’d probably feel like it’s not going to work. That has less to do with the show itself and more to do with every American TV show you’ve seen try to do it before now. Fleabag is not American, even though it’s an Amazon “original series.” It’s British, […]

The reaction to Batman v. Superman has been…not great. Sure, the opening weekend box office broke records but the second-week drop-off was staggering. Considering that BvS was the seed from which an entire superhero franchise is expected to grow, the lack of excitement surrounding the film and the subsequent movies to come could make a studio […]
