Marvel’s Hawkeye Trailer Breakdown and Analysis

New DVD release, , , ,
With What If…? still in the middle of streaming on Disney+, it’s never too early to start thinking about MCU Christmas, and the first Hawkeye trailer has arrived to let us get a feel of that expensive present way ahead of time, even as Marvel continues to add the bows (sorry) and trimmings to Clint Barton’s upcoming TV series behind the scenes. Starring Jeremy Renner reprising his role as Barton/Hawkeye and introducing Hailee Steinfeld to the MCU as his eager archery prodigy Kate Bishop, Hawkeye also boasts a supporting cast that features Vera Farmiga, Fra Fee, Tony Dalton, Zahn McClarnon,…

The Matrix 4 Trailer Breakdown: Neo, Trinity, Morpheus, and…Smith?!

New DVD release, , , , ,
The moment Matrix fans have been waiting for has finally arrived. The next chapter of Neo, Trinity, and Morpheus’ story is almost here and Warner Bros. has a trailer to prove it. It’s an action-packed first look at Resurrections, a sequel that seems to take the franchise in new directions, and introduces quite a few new mysteries to the already complex lore of The Matrix, all accompanied by Jefferson Airplane’s “White Rabbit.” While it refreshingly plays things very close to the chest at a time when most trailers give away 2/3 of the plot, I’ve tried my best to dissect…

New DVD release, , , ,
Marvel’s Eternals trailer is here, and with an all-star cast and an Oscar-winning director (in the form of Chloe Zhao) it looks like an ambitious, surprisingly cerebral new addition to Marvel Cinematic Universe lore.

Watch the Eternals trailer here if you haven’t already…then we’ll get to talking about who all these cool new characters are!

The Forever Purge Trailer Breakdown with Director Everardo Gout

New DVD release, , , , ,
For one night a year, all crime is legal, including murder. For the rest of the year, America is peaceful and crime free.

Venom 2 Trailer Breakdown – All the Marvel and Carnage References

New DVD release, , , , ,
Folks, we live in interesting times. We just received a trailer for Venom: Let There Be Carnage, the sequel to the surprise 2018 hit Venom, starring Tom Hardy, Tom Hardy, and a whole lot of people who weren’t trying nearly as hard as Tom Hardy. This sequel brings in Woody Harrelson as Broadway star Carnage about 30 years after his comic book debut. Seriously, though. Carnage appeared in a Broadway musical ten years before he got to be in the movies. I’ll never get over that. If you haven’t watched the crazy trailer yet, press pause on your Green Jelly…

Animorphs: A Panel By Panel Comic Breakdown of Adapting a Scene From The Visitor

New DVD release, , , , ,
Reading the first Animorphs graphic novel was a delightful shock. Not only had one of the greatest sci-fi novels for kids finally returned in a new form but it was also extremely faithful to the original book. Every scene was lifted from the novel and almost all of the dialogue was kept intact. A few small changes were made to remove dated pop culture references or to better fit the visual medium but overall it’s easily one of the closest adaptations of any piece of media out there. So how is it done? Taking a whole novel and turning it…

Mortal Kombat Trailer Breakdown and Analysis

New DVD release, , , ,
It’s taken 24 years, but we’re finally getting a new live-action Mortal Kombat movie. The R-rated reboot is set to come out in April, but outside of some casting news, a few recent stills, and a very brief appearance in a HBO Max ad, and some character posters, Warner Bros. has kept a lid on the movie. Fortunately, we finally have a trailer to dissect, and it’s quite the ride. Action-packed, dark as hell, and seemingly very faithful to the original games, the Simon McQuoid-directed movie seems on the right track.. Give the trailer a look below: Watch Sub-Zero literally…

Zack Snyder’s Justice League New Trailer Breakdown and Analysis

New DVD release, , , , ,
It’s been nearly a year since it was officially announced, and we’re now only a month away from its arrival on HBO Max, but “The Snyder Cut” is very real. Zack Snyder’s Justice League is apparently complete, and after months of teases we finally have a full trailer, one comprised almost entirely of unseen footage. If you haven’t seen it yet, you can watch it here… Now, in order to properly give this the analysis it deserves, we’re not going to go chronologically or shot by shot. Instead, we’ll break this up into themes, characters, and events, and try to…

White House Farm Episode by Episode Breakdown: True Crime Drama on Netflix

Netflix, New DVD release, , , , ,
White House Farm is a dramatisation of the Jeremy Bamber story, a horrible case that saw the killing of five members of the same family including two children. The show came to ITV in 2020 in week by week episodes and has now arrived on Netflix in a full boxset. It’s a compelling look at what happened in 1985 at a remote farmhouse and the man who was convicted of the murders, as well as the dogged cop who wouldn’t settle for the obvious answer despite the negative impact it had on his career. While elements of the story are…

Star Wars: The Bad Batch Trailer Breakdown and Analysis

New DVD release, , ,
After their first appearance in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, the off-beat clones from the Bad Batch squad are back with their own animated series on Disney+. Genetically modified away from Jango Fett’s original clone mold, the Bad Batch (aka Clone Force 99) members each have unique alterations that make them deadly efficient on the battlefield. The last we saw of them in the Clone Wars, the Bad Batch added Echo, a clone modified with cybernetic parts by the Separatists, to their ranks and went off to continue fighting on behalf of the Republic. But The Clone Wars finale didn’t…

WandaVision Trailer Breakdown and Analysis – All the Marvel Comics and MCU Easter Eggs

New DVD release, , , , , ,
It’s been a long, dry spell for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. After Spider-Man: Far From Home, all we had was the finale of Agents of SHIELD, and that barely even counts anymore in terms of the larger MCU. We were supposed to have Black Widow back in May, but that’s been delayed until at least November thanks to COVID. Similarly, we’re waiting for Marvel stuff to start packing into Disney+. Luckily, as we angrily pound the floor and wonder when we’re going to get to the fireworks factory, Marvel has released a brand new trailer for WandaVision. Here it is…

American Dad 300th Episode Breakdown And What Comes Next (Exclusive)

New DVD release, , , , ,
American Dad has quietly been plugging along for over 15 years and the show is still able to make waves and ruffle feathers. American Dad has survived a move from FOX to TBS, where the animated comedy is now thriving and feels freer than ever to indulge in its surreal interests.  It’s unusual for the later seasons of a series to match their golden years, but American Dad has delivered some of its best and more creative episodes since the move to TBS. The series recently celebrated a major achievement with its 300th episode, a milestone that only 25 scripted…

Dune Trailer Breakdown and Analysis

New DVD release, ,
This article contains spoilers for the Dune book and probably the movie. You’ve been warned. The first trailer for Denis Villeneueve’s Dune is here and it certainly doesn’t disappoint. Showcasing a spectacular all star cast, truly epic visuals, and a surprising Pink Floyd song choice, this looks like a faithful adaptation of Frank Herbert’s legendary sci-fi novel. Well…half of it, at least. Y’see, Warner Bros. and Villeneueve have (wisely) opted to split the book into two films. So everything you see in this trailer is roughly from the first half (or less) of the story. If you haven’t seen it…

The Batman Trailer Breakdown and Analysis

New DVD release, , ,
The Batman trailer is finally here, accompanied by Nirvana’s “Something in the Way.” The two-minutes-and-a-half of footage presents a nightmarish new take on Gotham and the Dark Knight, an impressive feat considering only 25% of the movie has been shot so far, according to what director Matt Reeves said during the DC FanDome digital event. Matt Reeves’ Batman reboot explores the early days of the Caped Crusader’s career, about two years into it, and focuses on a younger Bruce Wayne who is haunted by his past as well as a new villain who’s leaving victims all of the city for…
