Fortnite Versus Apple: 1984 Video Meaning Explained

New DVD release, , , , ,
Fortnite has been removed from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. Apple and Google’s decisions to remove the gaming app from their digital storefronts seemed to come out of nowhere but this situation has actually been brewing behind the scenes for quite some time. That would actually explain how Fortnite developer Epic Games could respond so quickly to Apple’s action, posting a video short titled “Nineteen Eighty Fortnite” which takes some…less than subtle jabs at the tech giant. Yet, once you get past some of the video’s obvious visual gags, you’ll find that this short actually features quite…

Agents of SHIELD Season 7 Ending Explained

No matter what varied opinions arise about each character’s ultimate fate at the end of the Agents of SHIELD series finale, many fans likely finished their viewing with a few questions lingering in their minds. Although the end result is one of satisfaction and bittersweet tears for the conclusion of this seven year journey, the intricacy of the time travel twists and turns may have melted a few brains along the way.

Host Explained: How it was Made, Easter Eggs and all Your Questions Answered

New DVD release, , ,
Massive spoilers for Shudder original HOST to follow. Productions are shut down, movie theatres are barely open, we’re fast running out of new things to watch. Then Rob Savage and his talented team of mates make Host in 12 weeks and all bets are off.  This is the new horror phenomenon from Shudder, a film based entirely around a Zoom call where a group of friends do an online seance and accidentally invite something terrifying into their houses. It runs at a brief 56 minutes but manages to pack that runtime with character development, humour and proper pee-your-pants scares. And…

Perry Mason Ending Explained

New DVD release, , ,
This Perry Mason season 1 finale piece contains spoilers by legal definition. Perry Mason made its closing arguments for season 1. While the jury was deadlocked on whether Emily Dodson (Gayle Rankin) murdered her own baby, Charlie, or not, the verdict was a triumph for the defense attorney and the series named after him. A hung jury may not be a clear win, but it is a victory. It means Perry Mason’s (Matthew Rhys) first case was not a full on winner. Mason made mistakes. He is learning, probably to make more mistakes, but his education will turn him into…

New DVD release, , , , ,
Guy Beahm, the uber-popular streamer better known as Dr DisRespect, made his return to live streaming on Aug. 7, broadcasting on his YouTube channel more than a month after he was banned from Twitch. For the over 500,000 fans who tuned in, Beahm’s return stream was par for the course: a high-energy performance full of bombastic smack talk, lots of screaming, some insults, a few rounds of Call of Duty Warzone, and an assortment of skits promoting Mountain Dew Game Fuel and Doc’s plan to create a production company around his brand. But Beahm also took a much more serious…

Marvel’s Avengers, a new action-adventure game starring Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, is out in a month and developer Crystal Dynamics is using the run-up to the release to tell players much more about what they should expect when servers go live. One thing the studio has confirmed is that Spider-Man is joining the Avengers in 2021, but what should have been great news quickly left some fans outraged when it was revealed that the webslinger was only coming to PlayStation versions of the game. On top of that, PlayStation owners will also get exclusive challenges, cosmetics, and other downloadable content for…

The Umbrella Academy Powers Explained

Netflix, New DVD release, , ,
The following contains spoilers for The Umbrella Academy season 2. One of the most exciting parts of any new superhero story is finding out the characters’ respective powers and how they affect their lives and personalities.  Such was the case in The Umbrella Academy season 1. And strangely enough, such is the case in The Umbrella Academy season 2 as well. For, while the abilities of the Hargreeves were established in the show’s first season, many of those abilities evolve and change in intriguing ways for season 2.  We often forget the “Academy” portion of “The Umbrella Academy.” The Hargreeves…

However, their journey to the past was not without consequences to the timeline and history as they remember it. Let’s enumerate the various questions and hanging threads that remain. The most obvious change in the finale is the transformation of the academy housed in the Hargreeves mansion. Not only is Sir Reginald very…

Touted as a showcase for the power of the Xbox Series X, the game has been positioned as the next-gen console’s flagship title.

The major point of contention on social media, forums, and across game outlets? Halo Infinite‘s art style and graphics, which some fans have criticized…

Halo Infinite: Installation 07 and Zeta Halo Setting Explained

New DVD release, , ,
The Halo expanded universe goes far beyond Master Chief. In fact, Halo Infinite‘s new setting, a Halo ring never before explored in the games, connects to a story set hundreds of thousands of years before humanity’s war with the Covenant. Installation 07, or “Zeta Halo” as it’s referred to by the UNSC, was built by the ancient Forerunners (the advanced alien species that preceded modern humanity and the Covenant) as the ultimate weapon meant to assert their control over the galaxy that later used to wipe out the parasitic Flood. But it also once housed humans. How did humanity get…

Ghost of Tsushima Ending Explained

New DVD release, , ,
This Ghost of Tsushima article contains spoilers. Ghost of Tsushima is as epic as the classic Akira Kurosawa movies that inspired it. And in the spirit of those movies, Jin Sakai’s long journey to free his homeland from the Khotun Khan and his Mongol army concludes in brutal fashion.  Main protagonist Jin goes through a lot, both internally and externally, on his journey, while wrestling with the traditional, samurai notion of “honor,” whether or not it’s worth dying for, and what honor is worth when innocent lives are on the line. Fittingly, the game’s finale sees Jin come face to…

Netflix’s Cursed puts a feminist spin on the myth of King Arthur, centering this version of the story on one of its least-familiar female characters.

Hamilton: Thomas Jefferson Controversy Explained

New DVD release, , , ,
After Alexander Hamilton, no character has a bigger entrance in Lin-Manuel Miranda’s musical than Thomas Jefferson. For if Hamilton’s intro begins Act One, then Jefferson opens Act Two. And for those who are discovering Hamilton for the first time on Disney+, it’s a hell of an arrival as Daveed Diggs leaps across the stage with boundless confidence and swagger. Clearly intended to be an antagonistic force, Jefferson enters stage right with an announcement that “someone must keep the American promise, you simply must meet Thomas, Thomas!” Yet even as the show depicts Jefferson as a prima donna, he is also…

Dark Season 3 Family Tree Explained and Who Dies at the End

New DVD release, ,
Dark has one one of the most intricate and complex storylines on Netflix. The whole time-travel thing means that people are given countless chances to re-do and relive big life events, and it all results in one very messy and convoluted situation of borderline incest. Yep, you read that right.  The family trees in the show are a bit bizarre, and you definitely can’t enjoy Dark as an easy watch-it-on-my-phone sort of show – you need every brain cell you have to understand the twisted branches of Dark‘s families. If you’ve been watching Dark since series one, you won’t be…

Palm Springs Timeline Explained

New DVD release, ,
This article contains Palm Spring spoilers. Our spoiler-free review is here. Time loop movies are quickly becoming a genre, and we are here for it. The paterfamilias of the concept on screen is of course Harold Ramis’ existential romantic comedy, Groundhog Day, but we’ve seen the concept repeatedly riffed on ever since in everything from big action blockbusters (Source Code, Edge of Tomorrow) to slasher movies and indie thrillers (Happy Death Day and The Endless, respectively). So it was inevitable someone would eventually circle back to using the idea of a perpetual time loop for romance. Luckily the first film…

In the closing minutes of The Secrets She Keeps’ penultimate episode, child-abductor Agatha made a run for it with stolen baby Benjamin. 12 days earlier, in a premeditated kidnapping,  she’d taken Baby Ben from hospital hours after he was born and – after wearing a fake pregnancy prosthetic for months, pretended that she had given birth to him.
