M.O.D.O.K. Might Feature The Most Marvel Easter Eggs Ever

New DVD release, , ,
Jordan Blum, the creator and showrunner of Marvel’s animated series M.O.D.O.K. for Hulu, is one of the rare Marvel comic fans so dedicated that he was a little disappointed when the announced “Captain America: Serpent Society” film ended up being a joke-y cover-up title for Captain America: Civil War. “I was probably the one person who was let down,” Blum tells Den of Geek. “I love the Civil War story, but I was like ‘Yes, finally, the Serpent Society! Number one Serpent Society fan over here.’” Blum comes across his Marvel fandom honestly. The writer’s father learned English from reading…

It’s safe to say someone on the Mass Effect development teams watched an episode or two of Star Trek. So while Mass Effect is, in some ways, a giant tribute to Star Trek and several other notable sci-fi works, there are a few ways that the Mass Effect games…

New DVD release, , ,
This Star Wars: The Bad Batch review contains spoilers. The Bad Batch continues to fill in details about the transition from the Republic to the Empire.

With the new troopers, Tarkin, and a new Imperial Vice Admiral on the stage, there’s a distinct Rogue One feeling in the air.

Star Wars: The Bad Batch Episode 1 Easter Eggs Explained

New DVD release, , ,
This Star Wars: The Bad Batch article contains spoilers. While the Star Wars Original Trilogy has been explored thoroughly for more than 40 years, the period between the Prequels and the Originals is less well-trodden. Following in The Clone Wars and Rebels‘ footsteps, The Bad Batch takes a deep dive into the rise of the Empire. This means we get to see familiar characters, planets, ships, and technology in a moment of transition, as a Republic becomes something more twisted and sinister in the hands of the Sith. Unsurprisingly, “Aftermath,” which is directed by Steward Lee, Saul Ruiz, and Nathaniel…

New DVD release, , , , , ,
This article contains The Falcon and the Winter Soldier spoilers for episode 4, and potentially future episodes and the wider MCU. That sure was a grisly ending to an otherwise slow boil of an episode, wasn’t it? The Falcon and the Winter Soldier episode 4 is heavy on the philosophizing and mostly light on the action…until the end. And while there aren’t as many in-your-face Marvel Comics and MCU references as we’ve come to expect from these Disney+ shows, the events and the weighty dialogue are all steeped in Marvel history. Here’s what we found… The Whole World is Watching…

Star Trek Picard Season 2 Teaser Trailer: All the Easter Eggs & References

New DVD release, , , , ,
Mild spoilers for Picard Season 1 ahead. More than any of the new Star Trek series, Picard is the one that is the most stuffed with obvious Trekkie nostalgia. Yes, when Strange New Worlds starts showing some footage, we might feel differently, but because Picard is a sequel to the ‘90s-era of Trek, for this present moment, it connects with various generations of Trekkies at the same time. On “First Contact Day,” Paramount+ dropped a minimalist, spare teaser-trailer, similar to the vineyard teaser for Picard Season 1. But this time, as we swept through Picard’s study in Château Picard, the…

This article contains The Falcon and the Winter Soldier spoilers and potential spoilers for the wider MCU. The Falcon and the Winter Soldier episode 3 might end up being remembered as the turning point of the series.

The Simpsons Acknowledges Continuity Watchdogs with an Online Easter Egg

New DVD release, , , , ,
The Simpsons executive producer Matt Selman is in the egg-hiding mood for the Easter holiday.  A couple weeks ago, bemused Simpsons fans adopted Pontius Comic Book Guy roles, virtually crucifying the show’s continuity minders for messing with the timeline of the 32-year-old series. The episode, “Do Pizza Bots Dream of Electric Guitars?”, flashes back to the 1990s, when Homer was a 14-year-old wannabe DJ. But the established timeline from previous episodes maintains that Homer and Marge met when they were teenagers in high school in 1974 (the year rock attained perfection). The retrofit was called out by some fans as…

New DVD release, , , , ,
This article contains Zack Snyder’s Justice League spoilers. We have a (relatively) spoiler free review here.  Well, they finally released the Snyder Cut! Zack Snyder’s Justice League is now out in the world (and streaming on HBO Max) and it’s four hours of the director’s undiluted, controversial take on the DC Universe. It’s even more packed with DC history than the “official” theatrical release, if you can believe that, and it builds out the world of the DCEU in some new and unexpected ways. There’s no shortage of DC Comics Easter eggs in Zack Snyder’s Justice League, and even nods…
