This article contains major You Can See Everything spoilers. Please do not read before watching the movie. Is Nathan Fielder trying to protect Elizabeth Holmes? Are we protecting Elizabeth Holmes? It’s the final, devastatingly open-ended question that Fielder leaves hanging in his and Lance Oppenheim’s You Can See Everything. Are the filmmakers compromised by Elizabeth Holmes’ widely recognized abilities to manipulate? Is the audience? After all, as Fielder’s onscreen accomplice, therapist, and final accuser states in the last line of the movie, “You care about her.” By the film’s end, I suspect many viewers do as well. Even Fielder’s partner-in-crime…

And just like that… another successful New York Comic Con is in the books. The 2026 iteration of the Big Apple’s premier con was fit to burst with talent, panels, and big-time announcements. Thankfully, your friendly neighborhood Den of Geek was there to take in it all. Here is what we learned on the ground of the Javitz Center and all around Manhattan as we attended panels, press rooms, and activations; all the while inviting some folks to Den of Geek studio in Midtown. Panels and Activations Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches Anne Rice’s coven of New Orleans witches may have…

Things looked bleak, even for the Dark Knight. After multiple delays already pushing back the release of The Batman: Part II to February 18, 2028, the Caped Crusader suffered another blow with the announcement that production had paused as director Matt Reeves stepped away for personal reasons. But here’s the thing about the Batman: yes, he may be a brooding creature of the night, and, yes, he may keep on file contingency plans for defeating his closest friends. But Batman is never truly alone. So, who should come the rescue, but Steven Soderbergh, playing the Superman to Reeves’ beleaguered Batman.…

Watching an old TV show can lead to some pretty strange discoveries, especially when a familiar face turns up playing someone completely different. One season, an actor might be a minor criminal or an awkward date. A few episodes later, they’re back as a new character, sometimes with a much bigger role. Certain shows barely bothered to hide it, while others changed the actor’s hairstyle and hoped viewers wouldn’t notice. It’s particularly funny when the same performer eventually becomes part of the main cast. These weren’t always deliberate jokes or clever plot twists. Sometimes, television simply liked an actor enough…

You don’t have to love sports to love sports movies. Sure, it might help if you’re watching Eight Men Out from the perspective of someone who adores baseball history, and Miracle probably means more to people who remember watching the U.S. best Russia at hockey. But movies are their own thing, with their own storylines and structures, and definitely their own pleasures. So while it may seem like Den of Geek is taking a break from that whole “geek” thing for this list—rest assured that we can rank sports movies while still being a bunch of nerds. As a bunch…

Some jobs sound perfectly manageable until you see what an actual shift looks like. A restaurant dishwasher might arrive to find hundreds of dirty plates waiting, while a retail employee discovers that customers have apparently forgotten how clothes hangers work. Then there are the workplaces themselves, with leaking ceilings, cramped break rooms, and conditions that make getting through eight hours feel like an achievement. Reddit is full of employees documenting these moments, often because nobody would believe them without a picture. Not every terrible workday involves a demanding boss or an impossible deadline. Sometimes, the disaster is already waiting when…

This article contains some spoilers for ParaNorman. Every year, adults filled with nostalgia and kids ready for something a little bit spookier seek out the stop-motion classic Coraline. Even after the utterly disgusting revelations about author Neil Gaiman, who wrote the source novella, Coraline remains a charming evergreen watch, thanks to the strong voice performances and the incredible stop-motion animation from veteran director Henry Selick. Believe it or not, though, Coraline isn’t the best movie from its studio, LAIKA. There’s another stop-motion release with even better visuals, even more compelling characters, and an even more moving story. That movie is…

This article appears in the new issue of DEN OF GEEK magazine. Find out how you can subscribe to get the full physical copy right here! Anime’s rich relationship with video games goes all the way back to the ‘80s and has only become more prominent over time. Netflix has found tremendous success with its anime adaptations of iconic gaming franchises such as Castlevania, Devil May Cry, and Arcane. This synergy often feels natural, but it’s still a challenge to pull off in a way that appeals to both seasoned gamers and anime acolytes who have never worked their ways through these virtual…

Street Fighter, the second attempt to bring the legendary fighting game franchise to the big screen, is somehow even weirder and more colorful than its trailers have made it look. In fact, the marketing hasn’t done it justice. But dismiss this flick as a misguided send-up at your own peril, because it packs a surprisingly charming punch underneath its bold, colorful visuals. Street Fighter follows Ken Masters (Noah Centineo) and his former best friend and fellow fighter Ryu (Andrew Koji) six years after the end of the first World Warrior Tournament. Ryu walked away as champion, but with terrible, long-lasting…

This article contains spoilers for Digger. For a movie about the end of the world as we know it, Digger sure has a hard time imagining what that would actually look like.  As the conclusion of Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s film reveals, New York City streets are overrun with floods of water, while survivors cling to life rafts and military enforcers, robots, and drones patrol the streets. Meanwhile, we are told a “level four” condition has descended (mirroring the same alarm system we’ve seen in the play, which has become a reality for the citizens of today). The theater-goers leave the…

Batman knows that criminals are a suspicious, cowardly lot. Movie fans know that Ben Affleck is a sad, tired man. Put the two together and movie magic should happen. Yet, for some reason none of Affleck’s four outings as Bruce Wayne have really stuck with anyone other than the dwindling group of Zack Snyder fans, still yelling on the internet about something. Yet, whatever the many (many, many) problems with Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Justice League, Zack Snyder’s Justice League, and The Flash, there’s no question that Affleck puts in good work as a beleaguered Bruce Wayne and…

A child with an alliterative name is born into an unassuming family in an unremarkable small city in the middle of the United States. He grows up poor, experiencing the sting of segregation and intolerance. He becomes preoccupied with justice, honing his body and mind to win glory and fight oppression. And when he eventually reaches his final form, he changes his name into something more elemental that becomes a symbol of strength, perseverance, and controversy to millions across the globe. This is a journey familiar to many comic book readers who have seen heroes like Bruce Wayne, Peter Parker,…

This article contains spoilers for VisionQuest season 1 episodes 1-2. Speed has arrived! Years after Tommy Maximoff and his twin brother Billy seemed to disappear after their mother Wanda dropped her hex in WandaVision, VisionQuest reveals that Tommy somehow lives, now as a Scottish man called Thomas Shepherd (Ruaridh Mollica). The second episode of VisionQuest shows us how this happened, as the drowning of young Thomas allowed for Tommy Shepherd’s spirit to find a new host, not unlike the way Billy Maximoff’s spirit found a home in the body of the late Billy Kaplan (Joe Locke) in Agatha All Along.…

This article contains spoilers for VisionQuest season 1 episodes 1-2. With few exceptions, the primary appeal of a new Marvel property is the way it expands the shared universe, bringing back old favorites with new characters. VisionQuest follows suit by giving Vision the spotlight and pairing him with his creator and arch-enemy, the evil robot Ultron. But VisionQuest also puts a twist on the formula by bringing back names we know with faces we’ve never seen before.  D.U.M.-E. And U, robotic arms who have lived in Tony Stark’s shop since the first MCU movie Iron Man appear as handymen played…

Good child actors are hard to come by, and when you find the ideal performer, in just a few years they’ll stop being a child. For roles about teenagers, however, finding ideal candidates is far easier, since a lot of adults can play them convincingly. So convincingly, in fact, that audiences might not realize the actors were adults at all. Of course, there are films where the entire high school is populated by adults, but in well made productions, we can suspend our disbelief. These are the actors that, when their movies happened, seemed eternally young. IMDb Stockard Channing in…

This article contains spoilers for VisionQuest season 1 episodes 1 and 2. From the first episode of VisionQuest, it seems that the chief pleasure of the show will be watching Paul Bettany and James Spader chew the scenery. The actors reprise their Marvel roles, with Bettany back as a more questioning, less empathetic Vision than we’ve seen before, and Spader returning as a more avuncular, but still genocidal Ultron. The two crackle in every scene they share, as they prod and debate with one another about the value of humanity and the value of the humanities. The actors clearly love…

We were incredibly relieved at Summer Game Fest 2026 when we learned that Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival wouldn’t be yet another asymmetrical online horror game based on an existing cinematic property. After all, following in the steps of Dead by Daylight, there has been no shortage of them, including Friday the 13th: The Game, Evil Dead: The Game, and Halloween: The Game – that well has run bone dry for some time. After that SGF preview, we’ve gotten to play the full version of the game and we’re happy to report that Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival is a solid single-player…

Greta Gerwig was pitching a Chronicles of Narnia movie to Netflix before she realized she wanted to make it. The year was 2019 and her frequent collaborator/husband Noah Baumbach was in the midst of the Netflix rollout for his own passion project, Marriage Story. Meanwhile Gerwig was fresh off the release of her solo directorial debut, Lady Bird, and on the eve of her second feature opening: Little Women. She was a renowned filmmaker with two Oscar nominations to her name, but she was also still an indie maven who simply wanted to corner Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos. At the…

When a product does well, it’s only natural for other markets to want to replicate the success. Beyond that, producers can licence an intellectual property and make a version that would appeal to their markets, at least according to whatever studies they might’ve done. And yet, when it comes to Japanese movies, the attempt is almost always seen as dumbing down the source material, and trying to capture the magic without any of its soul. While not all of them are terrible, they leave a lot to be desired. These are the biggest examples of Japanese classics ruined by Western…

The protagonist of a story can often do nearly anything the plot throws at them, mainly because they’re the protagonist. We know that, and can accept that, as long as the story itself tries at least a little bit to sell the concept. More often than not, it’s a secret life as some form of hitman/secret agent. Sometimes, however, that excuse isn’t enough. Or isn’t even there. How can people with desk jobs become full blown squad leaders, master marksmen, and who knows what else? We’re all day at a desk, and we don’t know how to do any of…
