The Flash: The Forces of Nature Story is a Complete Misfire

The following contains THE FLASH spoilers through Season 7, Episode 10 Just went you thought this whole Forces of Nature story on The Flash couldn’t possibly get any weirder or more excruciating to watch, here comes Season 7’s “Family Matters, Part 1,” which not only forces us to watch Barry Allen bully a grown woman he unironically refers to as his “daughter,” it blurs the lines even further between what these Forces are supposed to be, do, or mean within the world of the show. The result is a convoluted mess that is not just cringe-worthy to watch unfold, it…

Oscars 2021: Complete List of Academy Award Winners and Nominees (Updating Live)

That was a bit of a long engagement wasn’t it? In most years, the Oscars are a distant memory by mid-March, but here we are approaching the end of April and we still don’t (technically) know who the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences anointed as Best Picture of the Year. That’s about to change tonight. Oscars 2021 are here, and with them we realize the strange year that was 2020 might finally be in the rearview. Still, it doesn’t mean we cannot celebrate some of the best cinematic escapes and distractions we had recently. While this year’s nominees…

From Skull Island to Godzilla vs. Kong: A Complete MonsterVerse Timeline

This feature contains Godzilla vs. Kong spoilers. Read our spoiler-free review here. Despite existing for only four movies, Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures’ MonsterVerse has become one of the densest and most colorful cinematic universes. It may not be as long (or smoothly executed) as Marvel Studios’ MCU, or as high-minded as WB’s own superhero stable, the DCEU, but the MonsterVerse has successfully crafted an interconnected world where Titans rule over all. The best we humans can do is make peace with that hard truth. In this strange, fearful vision of a primal world, enormous behemoths the size of mountains…

From Man of Steel to Zack Snyder’s Justice League: A Complete DCEU Timeline

This article contains spoilers for Zack Snyder’s Justice League and other DC movies. The timeline of the DC Extended Universe began in a fairly clear manner, with most of the events of Man of Steel set in 2013. As more films were released, containing flashbacks, or lacking a clear chronological setting, things became increasingly complicated. And by the time we got to Birds of Prey film, its precise placement in the DCEU is downright murky. But there are contextual in-universe clues in the form of media, gravestones, mugshot photos, or throwaway lines of dialogue that provide some clarity.  With the…

Oscars 2021: Complete List of Nominees

At last the Academy Awards are here. For a brief time–like about a year ago when the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences pushed the Oscars into April–there was apprehension about whether there would even be enough films in 2020 to qualify as a competitive year. And yet, 2020 (as well as the early months of 2021) has turned out to be a boon for quality, memorable cinema that has been both a cathartic respite and release from the year that was. The obvious frontrunners are still running in front in the below nominations list. Chloé Zhao’s Nomadland remains…

Golden Globes 2021: Complete Winners List

The 78th Annual Golden Globes Awards are in the history books. It was a weird ceremony for a weird year, occasionally marked as much by the technical difficulties that came from using Zoom and telecommunications for awards speeches as it was by the winners. And yet, what a remarkable year for the winners it was. After the Hollywood Foreign Press Association has been roundly (and rightly) criticized for snubbing women filmmakers for year after year in the Best Director category, Chinese helmer Chloé Zhao won the Director prize for her riveting and raw Nomadland, a film which blends documentary filmmaking…

Lovecraft Country Soundtrack: Complete Details and Playlist

HBO’s latest blockbuster drama effort, Lovecraft Country, is a unique Lovecraftian beast. As adapted by Matt Ruff’s novel of the same name, the show takes classic horror, sci-fi, and adventure tropes and adapts them into a timely story of American racism. Though the series is certainly timely, it’s also timeless. As evidenced by our helpful explainer article, it wasn’t immediately clear when Lovecraft Country even took place. That’s partly because the Jim Crow era of American institutionalized racism was a lengthy one. And the fact that Atticus “Tic” Freeman was a war veteran didn’t help out much. Which war coincided…

Following weeks of speculation and years of anticipation, Ubisoft has confirmed that Scott Pilgrim vs. The World is returning to digital marketplaces as Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game – Complete Edition. Discussions regarding this possible release kicked into overdrive a few weeks ago when the Scott Pilgrim vs. the World movie celebrated its 10th anniversary. Comments made via various social media accounts led many to believe that Ubisoft may be working on some kind of sequel, remake, or re-release of the 2010 video game adaptation of the Edgar Wright film. As you can see, we ended up with…

Lucifer Season 5 Soundtrack: Complete Details and Playlist

Whether it’s the Devil sitting down at the piano in his penthouse or Lilith belting out a tune in a 1940’s club, music has always played an integral role in the Lucifer gestalt. With a full blown musical episode planned for the second half of season five, and the noir homage “It Never Ends Well for the Chicken” already in the books, it’s time to reflect on some of the fantastic musical choices showrunners Joe Henderson and Ildy Modrovich have made.

The Umbrella Academy Season 2 Soundtrack: Complete Details and Playlist

Netflix’s The Umbrella Academy can’t be a cheap show to make. This superhero story is based on an ambitious, colorful comic book series by Gerard Way and Gabriel Bá and as such it features big action setpieces, depictions of superpowers, and even a talking chimp or two.  Still it’s hard to imagine any portion of The Umbrella Academy’s budget is larger than the music clearance department. The series features a moody score from Jeff Russo but also a truly stunning amount of pop hits. The Umbrella Academy made its musical intentions clear in its first episode with the now-beloved dance…

The Umbrella Academy Season 2 Complete Easter Egg and Reference Guide

The following contains spoilers for The Umbrella Academy season 2.  The Umbrella Academy wears its influences on its sleeve. Gerard Way and Gabriel Bá’s original comic and the Netflix series it was adapted into pay a great debt to properties like X-Men, Doom Patrol, and even The Royal Tenenbaums. Now for its second season, The Umbrella Academy is even more devoted to Easter eggs, references, and many other real life and pop culture homages. This batch of episodes takes the Hargreeves family back to the early ‘60s where they encounter a whole new host of inspirations. “There are tons,” showrunner…

Emmys 2020 Nominations: Complete List of Nominees Revealed

Sometimes Emmy Award ceremonies can blend together. How can one differentiate among all the years Bryan Cranston or Modern Family won gold? Well there’s little risk in the Emmy Awards of 2020 blending together with all the others. It’s not because some familiar shows won’t win (Succession, Ozark, and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel all seem primed for repeats). It’s because the format will be remarkably different. Like just about everything else right now, the 2020 Emmy Awards on September 20, 2020 are going virtual. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, large gatherings are banned in many places around the world, and…

Gunsmoke: The Complete Nineteenth Season

Highly Recommended (Note: Reviews of Gunsmoke: The Eighteenth Season and Gunsmoke: The Nineteenth Season are identical. In preparing them I watched at episodes and the extras from both sets.)Nearing home plate, CBS/Paramount's Eighteenth and Nineteenth of 20 season sets of Gunsmoke (1955-1975) nearly finishes off the classic series. Many wondered if the label would complete the series before the DVD format went kaput, so their determination to see it through deserves our gratitude. I've been reviewing Gunsmoke sets since the First Season was released in July 2007. The program was so prolific, upwards of 40 episodes per season in its…
