New World’s Players Are the Best and Worst Thing About the Game

New DVD release, , , ,
New World‘s recent open beta proved to be a tremendous success with some reports suggesting that the MMO attracted over 140,000 concurrent Steam players. While it remains to be seen how many of those players will purchase and ultimately play the game when it’s released on September 28, it certainly does feel like this Amazon Game Studios project has a fantastic chance of at least launching with a sizeable player base eager to dive into what figures to be one of the most fascinating upcoming entries into a suddenly resurging genre. Interestingly, though, that may prove to be both a…

Star Trek Just Dropped a Huge Clue About Kirk & Spock’s “Missing” Year

New DVD release, , ,
This Star Trek: Lower Decks article contains spoilers for Season 2, Episode 5, “An Embarrassment of Dooplers.” The first year of Kirk’s five-year-mission on the Enterprise is mostly missing. Although several non-canon sources have taken a stab at the moment when Kirk first took command from Pike—notably the 1986 Vonda N. McIntyre novel Enterprise: The First Adventure and the 1985 DC Comics story “The First Mission”—the  actual non-book Trek canon has almost nothing. Basically, our knowledge of how the year 2265 shook out for Kirk and Spock is very limited. However, a sweet little Easter egg in Star Trek: Lower…

The Rick and Morty Season 5 Finale Explains…Well, Just About Everything

New DVD release, , , , ,
This article contains spoilers for Rick and Morty season 5 episode 10. Rick and Morty is fighting a losing battle with its own canon.  The show has demonstrated time and time again that it prefers crafting episodic, self-contained stories to fully realize the potential of playing in a massive sci-fi sandbox. Like Rick Sanchez himself, the writers of the show understand that infinite universes (and a hefty 70-episode order from Adult Swim) means that a concept as earthbound as “story” will soon become pointless. Viewers, however, have never felt that way. Despite being presented with the promise of infinite creation,…

Doctor Who: What Do We Actually Know About the TARDIS?

New DVD release, , ,
We all know the TARDIS. Blue box. Travels in space and time. Bigger on the inside. May contain a hat stand. For the Doctor and her friends it is home, it is a safe port of call from monsters and cracks in time and the combined hordes of Genghis Khan. But how well do we really know the TARDIS? In many ways it is the most mysterious part of Doctor Who lore. After all, every other mystery in the universe is one the Doctor quickly sets about trying to solve- even those about herself. The TARDIS, however, is just how…

Seinfeld: The Most Important Lessons from a Show About Nothing

Netflix, New DVD release, , , ,
Netflix will stream the entire 180-episode library of a TV classic starting October 1, 2021. Seinfeld is as beloved and influential series as I Love Lucy, The Honeymooners, M*A*S*H, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, and The Simpsons. But why? It doesn’t make us feel better about ourselves and we never come out smarter. Creators Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David never produced a “very special” episode, or tugged at the heart strings. Even its most tear-jerking moment, the loss of George Costanza’s (Jason Alexander) fiancée to cheap postage stamp glue, was merely a setup to a killer punchline. But it did…

Emily Blunt: A Quiet Place Part II Is About Humanity’s ‘Rebirth After Shutdown’

New DVD release, , , , , ,
There is a scene early on in A Quiet Place Part II where audiences are first introduced to Cillian Murphy’s gruff and despairing Emmett. Once, long ago, Emmett was a neighbor and passing friend to the Abbotts, our central family of heroes in both films. Yet when he now runs into Emily Blunt’s Evelyn Abbott and her two children, Regan and Marcus (Millicent Simmonds and Noah Jupe), the months of hell he’s endured in the face of apocalypse have taken their toll. They’ve taken everything. “The people that are left are not the kind of people worth saving,” Emmett glumly…

The Flash Reveals Details About Final Cisco Episode

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Well, we’ve all known this is coming for a while, but it’s getting more real by the day. Cisco Ramon is leaving Team Flash. Which means in the real world that Carlos Valdes is leaving The Flash. No more Vibe. No more cool and nerdy t-shirts. No more awesome villain names. It’s a bummer. To be fair, it feels like The Flash has been teasing Cisco’s departure forever by now. Cisco took a hiatus from the team last season to go investigate post-Crisis on Infinite Earths anomalies and to visit Atlantis. The show has been trying out potential new Team…

What Star Wars: The Bad Batch Reveals About the Rise of the Empire

New DVD release, , ,
Sometimes it seems like every inch of territory in the Star Wars galaxy has been explored. From the fate of the Jedi after Order 66 to every minute detail of the Galactic Civil War, the franchise has always been interested in tracing and expanding its own history. That tradition continues with the new Disney+ animated series The Bad Batch, which explores the lives of clone troopers in the aftermath of the Clone Wars. This dark period of transition from Republic to Empire was previously chronicled in the now non-canon Legends continuity, but now we have a canon interpretation of it…

Creed 3: Everything We Know About Michael B. Jordan’s Directorial Debut

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Creed III is happening. The third entry in what initially started life as a continuation of the Rocky boxing franchise is now moving forward as a series of its own… and without Rocky. The movie will follow up 2018’s Creed II, in which Adonis Creed (Michael B. Jordan) faced off in the ring against Viktor Drago (Florian Monteanu) — son of the man who killed his father, Ivan Drago (Dolph Lundgren) — while also becoming a family man and continuing to come to terms with the legacy of his dad, Apollo Creed. Not nearly as fresh and urgent as 2015’s…

About Endlessness

Max SchindlerMovie reviews,
About Endlessness is a reflection on human life in all its beauty and cruelty, its splendour and banality. We wander, dreamlike, gently guided by our Scheherazade-esque narrator. Inconsequential moments take on the same significance as historical events: a couple floats over a war-torn Cologne; on the way to a birthday party, a father stops to tie his daughter’s shoelaces in the pouring rain; teenage girls dance outside a café; a defeated army marches to a prisoner of war camp. Simultaneously an ode and a lament, About Endlessness presents a kaleidoscope of all that is eternally human, an infinite story of…

Tom Hiddleston Knew About Loki’s Avengers: Infinity War Death for a Long Time

New DVD release, , , ,
Very few actors in the Marvel Cinematic Universe seem to have a true grasp of their future in the franchise – how many interview snippets have we seen where they admit they genuinely have no idea if they’ll return for another Marvel project or not? – but Tom Hiddleston was told that his God of Mischief was going to die at the start of Avengers: Infinity War by the film’s directors well ahead of time. For two years, he had to keep Loki’s demise a secret from the world, even before he began working on Thor: Ragnarok. “[Loki’s death] was…

Loki is a Cat Person Now, But What About the Rest of the MCU?

New DVD release,
The breakout star of the latest Loki trailer is not the mustachioed Owen Wilson as Mr. Mobius, nor Tom Hiddleston as Loki himself. Nay, the biggest star is, as it always should be, a cat. The little guy appears around the 35-second mark and he immediately joins the canon of Marvel’s greatest characters. Does he have a name? Not yet. Does he have a purpose? Unclear. Is he a cutie? You better believe it, bud.  The Marvel Cinematic Universe has always operated under the mantra of giving people what they want. For the first decade of its existence that meant…
