My Hero Academia Season 5 Episode 9 Review: Early Bird!

New DVD releaseacademia, early, episode, review, season

This My Hero Academia review contains spoilers. My Hero Academia Season 5 Episode 9 “Save people to win.” “Win to save people.” My Hero Academia’s current season has done an excellent job in highlighting many of the series’ more neglected characters, but it’s also functioned as an opportunity to demonstrate how much Class A’s most celebrated heroes have upped their games. My Hero Academia begins with Katsuki Bakugo arguably as the second lead after Midoriya and even though the friendly rivalry between these two has never faded, the two characters have been pulled in very different directions.  Bakugo remains a…

WandaVision Had Early Plans for a CSI-Inspired Episode

New DVD releaseearly, episode, inspired, plans, wandavision

Every TV series comes along with its own set of TV influences. But few shows in recent memory have shouted out their televised inspirations more loudly than Marvel’s WandaVision on Disney+. Of course, that was all by design as Mind Stone-altered magic user Wanda Maximoff found herself in a world of her own making. Since the Maximoff family really enjoyed their sitcoms back in Sokovia, Wanda’s days in Westview paid homage to the classics like The Dick Van Dyke Show, Bewitched, The Brady Bunch, Family Ties, Malcolm in the Middle, Modern Family, and more. But according to the series showrunner Jac…

New DVD releasedickinson, early, release, renewal, season

Just like its titular star, Apple TV+’s stylish historical drama Dickinson is certainly not about to stop for death. Today Apple confirmed a release date for season 2 of its wildly anachronistic, yet wildly entertaining show. Not only that but it revealed a first look trailer and announced the confirmation of Dickinson season 3. Not a bad day’s work for one of this continent’s most important literary figures. Dickinson season 2 will premiere on Friday, Jan. 8, 2021 on Apple TV+. Per Apple’s usual release strategy, the first three episodes will be made available on the day of release and…

Baldur’s Gate 3 Early Access: An Excellent Return to D&D’s Forgotten Realms

New DVD releaseaccess, baldur, early, excellent, forgotten, realms, return

Larian Studios and Wizards of the Coast have teamed up to bring fans the long-awaited Baldur’s Gate 3, which hits Steam early access today. Over the weekend, I spent 18+ hours with a pre-release early access build of the game, and so far I’ve found this RPG sequel to be absolutely addicting. Even in early access, I’m really looking forward to sinking dozens upon dozens of more hours into Baldur’s Gate 3. The early access only features Act 1 of the game’s full narrative, but this is still a very generous taste of Larian’s take on the Forgotten Realms, with…

2021 is going to be a strange year for the Oscars. Check out some early predictions for next year’s Academy Awards. “If this were a normal year — LOL — at this point, we’d actually have a pretty good sense of what the Oscar race would look like. There might even be some sure things in some categories. But this is not a normal year and that makes for an awfully weird, but very interesting awards season to come.” Read more at Thrillist.

What should have been a very easy win for Sony turned into pure chaos on Wednesday evening. Just weeks after PlayStation worldwide marketing head Eric Lempel reassured gamers that Sony wouldn’t surprise announce PS5 pre-orders, it did exactly that after a digital showcase. Right after the event, which ended with the reveal of the console’s price and release date, Sony announced in a very matter-of-fact Twitter reply that pre-orders would be available “starting as early as tomorrow at select retailers.” PS5 pre-orders will be available starting as early as tomorrow at select retailers.— PlayStation (@PlayStation) September 16, 2020 Naturally, this…

Rogue Legacy 2 Early Access Showcases a Promising Return for the Rogue-lite

New DVD releaseaccess, early, legacy, promising, return, rogue, showcases

I was a latecomer to the roguelike genre, unable to comprehend how the concept of having your progress almost entirely wiped upon death could be fun – let alone rewarding. Then Rogue Legacy released in 2013 and everything changed. There was just something incredibly moreish about exploring these randomly generated dungeons, dying a lot, and yet still knowing that at least some of my character’s skills would be passed down to a new playable descendant. Cut to 2020 and I find myself uttering “just one more run” all over again in this inventive dungeon-diving sequel. Rogue Legacy 2 officially entered…

Tenet, the several-times-delayed COVID-era cinematic boon for the languishing exhibitor industry, is set to premiere slightly earlier than its currently scheduled September release date—three days earlier, to be precise. With the film’s most recently-set premiere for September 3 now likely to come to fruition, Warner Bros. has announced that Tenet will hold early-access screenings in select U.S. cities on Monday, Aug. 31, Tuesday, Sept. 1 and Wednesday, Sept. 2. The move appears motivated by a desire to support theaters, which have been hemorrhaging ever since the March-launched lockdowns, and are indeed facing an unprecedented existential crisis. As Jeff Goldstein, President,…

The VOD dominoes continue to fall during the coronavirus pandemic. With the world dealing with the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak, large public gatherings are being officially discouraged by organizations like the Centers for Disease Control and the World Health Organization, and sitting in a movie theater with dozens of people certainly qualifies as a discouraged activity. The previous weekend’s box office hit a historic low, and movie theaters in both the US and UK have begun closing, whether voluntarily or as a result of official directives from local governments. As a result, yesterday Universal Pictures announced that they would make recent…
