Oh my goodness, John Stone — what the hell are you doing? Following suspects with a history of aggravated assault and committing crimes with a knife down dark alleys, where he could jump out from behind a corner or dumpster and start stabbing? But our favorite eczema-suffering, prostitute-patronizing, precinct crawler is on the trail and […]

Suicide Squad only had to save the summer movie season. No pressure. Well, at least no more pressure than these imprisioned supervillains face with a nanite bomb implanted in their necks that could be set off with a press of a button if they attempt to escape or go rogue. Unfortunately, the negative buzz that’s […]

Season two of Mr. Robot has been slower moving than some fans might prefer. Compared to season one, in which the story was constantly moving forward as Elliot’s involvement with fsociety went deeper, this second run has been much more deliberate as it builds toward whatever decisive, climactic moment creator Sam Esmail has in mind. […]

This week on The Night Of, we learned what can happen when you combine baby oil with boiling water. Unless some of you knew that already, which naturally leads to the question of how you discovered such jailhouse alchemy. (I mean, it does make sense: Oil plus hot water equals hot oil…) If Richard Price was […]

When Warner Brothers and DC Comics announced the development of DC Universe Animated Original Movies, the appeal to fans was seeing beloved comic book story arcs adapted into animated films, stories that likely wouldn’t be made into live-action movies. The first of them was 2007’s Superman: Doomsday, which adapted the “Death of Superman” story from […]

Were we as a culture eager for another Jason Bourne movie? It’s been nine years since Matt Damon and director Paul Greengrass teamed up for The Bourne Ultimatum, which was supposedly the last word on the amnesiac CIA assassin who wants to find out who he really is and what was done to him. The […]

Earlier this summer, Warner Brothers Television announced that Supergirl would feature a special guest star in the first two episodes of its second season. Moving from CBS to The CW, producers wanted to make a splash and bringing in Kara Zor-El’s famous cousin, Kal-El — otherwise known as Superman — ought to accomplish that. Soon after […]

For a show with only a few changing variables, Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee continues to stay fresh with a different guest each week. Give Jerry Seinfeld credit, his hosting style enables comedians to be themselves, with varying personalities and opinions. This leads to episodes that focus on completely different topics but still maintain a high […]
