Netflix’s The One: Ending Explained

Netflix, New DVD release, ,
Netflix thriller The One is bookended by the same line. It starts and ends with Rebecca Webb, CEO of the genetics-based dating service central to the series, standing on stage saying: “I have a secret I want to share with you.”  Both times, Rebecca’s talking to a crowd of receptive clients eager to hear that her company is going to find them scientifically approved, DNA-based true love. In episode one, the ‘secret’ is all part of a spiel about her having grown up with parents who didn’t love each other and how, thanks to her company, that won’t ever have to happen…

Boss Level Ending Explained

New DVD release, ,
This article contains spoilers for Boss Level. Boss Level stars Frank Grillo as Roy Pulver, a former Special Forces operative who has been waking up on the same day over and over again, only to get killed every time. He’s macheted, shot to pieces by a helicopter, killed in a fall, blown up by a rocket launcher, impaled through the chest, and dragged by a truck–you name a way to die, and Pulver has pretty much experienced it. One hundred and forty times. As the Joe Carnahan-directed film begins, Pulver has no idea why he’s been assassinated dozens of times,…

Raya and the Last Dragon Ending Explained

New DVD release, ,
This Raya and the Last Dragon article contains spoilers. You can read our spoiler-free review here. It almost didn’t end this way. For a brief moment during the climax of Raya and the Last Dragon, it felt like we were a million miles away from any kind of peace. And when Raya (Kelly Marie Tran) marched up the steps of Fang’s parameters in search of Namaari (Gemma Chan), I doubt there was a single viewer who didn’t share her anger—and maybe her thirst for revenge. Minutes before this sequence, Raya had once again extended the olive branch to her rival…

WandaVision Finale Ending Explained

New DVD release, , ,
This article contains WandaVision spoilers. After eight near-perfect episodes, the story of WandaVision has concluded with a finale installment that sticks the landing on all fronts, including multiple cinematic battles, several heartfelt goodbyes, and a long-overdue moment of agency for a heroine who has so often been denied a choice in her own future.  But while “The Series Finale” is a deeply satisfying coda to what is probably Marvel’s most emotionally satisfying outing to date, it leaves us with more than a few questions about where these characters go from here. Let’s break down what happened in the WandaVision finale,…

WandaVision: Ship of Theseus Explained

New DVD release, ,
This article contains spoilers for WandaVision episode 9. Much of WandaVision’s ninth and final episode, fittingly titled “The Series Finale”, centers on a good old-fashioned synthezoid battle. In one corner, you have The Vision, lovingly recreated by Wanda Maximoff’s Mind Stone-infused powers. In the other corner is The White Vision, hatefully brought back to life by billions upon billions of the U.S. government’s dollars (and some fairy dust).  The two Visions’ battle takes them through every corner of the hex surrounding Westview, destroying oodles of property in the process. It seems as though the two Visions are so well-matched that…

WandaVision Episode 9: Post-Credits Scenes Explained

New DVD release, , , ,
This article contains WandaVision spoilers. After nine episodes, WandaVision has wrapped up with a tremendous series finale episode. Agatha Harkness and Tyler Hayward’s plans have been foiled. Vision has ceased to exist in one sense, while a version of him continues to exist in another sense. Westview is freed, all except for one doomed citizen. Wanda Maximoff, the Scarlet Witch, has moved on to find out what she truly is. Then, as we’re tipped off by the lack of Disney+ asking us if we want to watch Avengers: Age of Ultron next, we get two different post-credits scenes. Each one…

High-Rise Invasion Season 1 Explained: Who Are The Masks?

Netflix, New DVD release, , ,
This article contains spoilers for High-Rise Invasion season 1. Television currently exists in a place where there’s a constant stream of new shows and it becomes incredibly easy for some series to sink and get lost at sea. This can be even more prevalent when it comes to anime since it’s sometimes quite difficult to determine which series really strive to be innovative and challenging.  At first glance, High-Rise Invasion looks like an indulgent excuse for sadistic killers to act out Hostel-like slasher fantasies. But it’s in fact a much deeper series about humanity, free will, and the quest to…

WandaVision Episode 8 Post Credits Scene Explained

New DVD release, , , ,
This article contains WandaVision spoilers. The first six episodes of WandaVision were something of a Marvel Cinematic Universe rarity in that it was completely devoid of mid-credits or post-credits scenes. No teasers, no stingers, no jokes that didn’t fit in the regular story. But as the pace of WandaVision revelations picks up, so come the stingers. And while the post credits scene that accompanied last week’s episode was more of a tease than anything else, WandaVision episode 8 has a huge post-credits scene. SWORD and Director Hayward The scene opens with SWORD director Hayward hearing that his team is ready…

WandaVision Episode 8 Magic Explained

New DVD release, , ,
This article contains spoilers for WandaVision Hello, and welcome to our WandaVision episode 8 magic explainer. Before you go any further, please be aware that we’ll be going into big spoiler territory, so if you haven’t yet seen this week’s installment, avert your eyes immediately. The eighth episode of Marvel’s first MCU spinoff was largely expository in nature, as Agatha Harkness (Katherine Hahn) forced Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) on a trip down memory lane. First, we saw the incident Wanda originally described in Avengers: Age of Ultron where she and her twin brother Pietro were trapped by a Stark Industries…

Superman and Lois Premiere Ending Explained

New DVD release, , ,
This article contains Superman & Lois premiere spoilers. We have a spoiler free review here. Superman & Lois episode 1 was an untraditional Superman story. Its hour-plus runtime does a lot of work introducing the twins Jonathan and Jordan Kent, setting up the rationale for why the family has to move back to Smallville, and generally explaining Superman’s place in the Arrowverse these days. But throughout it all, Clark keeps having to leave his family to take on a mysterious figure in armor who has been attacking nuclear facilities. This individual speaks Kryptonian, and has been leaving messages for Superman…

WandaVision Episode 7 Theories Explained

New DVD release, , ,
This article contains WandaVision spoilers After seven painfully short episodes of Marvel’s WandaVision, we’re still none the wiser about how exactly the Westview anomaly was created, and how Vision was brought back to life. We’ve just been introduced to one potential villain in the form of nosy neighbor Agnes – unveiled as powerful Marvel Comics witch Agatha Harkness – and we’ve seen that Wanda is still far from a malevolent force. She has threatened people who’ve encroached on The Hex, but she hasn’t killed any of them, and we don’t know how aware she is about the true ramifications of…

Netflix’s Tribes of Europa Ending Explained

New DVD release, , , ,
Netflix’s Tribes of Europa is a new apocalyptic mystery created by the producers of Dark, W&B Television. The new series arrived on the streaming service on February 19th, with all six episodes available to watch now. Tribes of Europa follows a similar path to that of Dark, film franchise The Hunger Games and hit series Game of Thrones, where families set out with a mammoth mission of saving the world from further catastrophe. Like many other great Netflix series, Tribes of Europa ends with an agonising cliffhanger. There’s currently no word about a second season, and the first finishes with…

I Care a Lot Ending Explained

Netflix, New DVD release,
This article contains I Care a Lot spoilers. It’s an emotionally fraught conclusion. Before our very eyes, I Care a Lot’s protagonist—its ostensible hero—is bleeding out inside an asphalt parking lot. But then, was she or anyone else ever a hero in this story? Just seconds before she was gunned down, Rosamund Pike’s Marla Grayson is seen, smilingly lying about how great her new predatory company is, and how she’s figured out a way to turn elder abuse into a sanitized illusion of “eldercare.” She is a monster with a sunshine smile. By contrast, the man who waits outside an…

Netflix’s Behind Her Eyes Ending Explained

New DVD release, , ,
Warning: contains major plot spoilers for the Behind Her Eyes finale When a novel is marketed with the hashtag: #WTFthatending, you know it’s going to pull a big move. Sarah Pinborough’s 2017 thriller Behind Her Eyes pulls a move so big that Keyser Söze himself would salute the audacity. Not only does the novel swap genres halfway through, shifting from psychological thriller to supernatural fantasy, it swaps lead characters. Literally.  Steve Lightfoot and Angela LaManna’s six-part Netflix adaptation follows suit, with a final episode that prompts viewers to revisit everything we’ve seen until that point. What first appeared to be the slippery story of…

The Sinner Season 3 Ending Explained

Netflix, New DVD release, , ,
This article contains spoilers for The Sinner season 3. When planned miniseries decide to expand into traditional series, they often run the risk of rendering their titles moot. Such is the case with USA Network’s detective drama The Sinner. When it opted to move past its novel inspiration’s premise to tell new stories about detective Harry Ambrose, there was a real chance that the name “The Sinner” would become vestigial. The Sinner solved this problem by making sure that all its subsequent case subjects would be as focused on sin as season 1’s Cora Tannetti (Jessica Biel). In fact, the…

WandaVision Episode 6 Theories Explained

New DVD release, , ,
This article contains spoilers for WandaVision and the wider MCU It’s that time of the week where we’ve had a few days to digest the latest episode of WandaVision, so it’s time to drag out our diminishing ball of red yarn and start connecting theories about what’s really going on at the core of the show’s story. In Episode 6, ‘All-New Halloween Spooktacular!’, there were more Marvel Easter eggs than ever flying around. We also got to spend some quality time with Wanda’s new family, including Evan Peters’ integration as the MCU’s long-dead Pietro Maximoff. Hard to argue that Uncle…

Crime Scene: The Vanishing at the Cecil Hotel – The Elisa Lam Case explained

Netflix, New DVD release, , , , , ,
Netflix documentary Crime Scene: The Vanishing at the Cecil Hotel explores the strange case of Elisa Lam, a 21-year-old Canadian woman who disappeared in January 2013 while she was staying at the Cecil Hotel in downtown LA. It’s a very famous case with many theories posited across the internet, which captured people’s imaginations after some very odd footage of Lam was released by the LAPD, hoping to find out what happened to her. More than two weeks after Elisa was last seen her body was discovered in a water tank on top of the hotel, after guests at the hotel…

WandaVision Episode 5 Theories Explained

New DVD release, , ,
This article contains WandaVision spoilers. It’s very weird and more than a little thrilling to see some of the fan theories that we’ve previously collected actually play out on WandaVision, but of course there are still four episodes of Marvel’s rollercoaster spinoff series left to go, and this week we’re bringing you all the most compelling theories gaining traction online to help pass the time until the sixth episode drops. At this point, many of the theories surrounding WandaVision’s bigger story are less outlandish. Every week a little more of the puzzle is revealed, and every week we get a…

WandaVision Episode 5 Ending Explained

New DVD release, , ,
This article contains WandaVision spoilers. WandaVision episode 5 threw viewers, Vision, and even Wanda herself for a loop, when her long-dead twin brother Pietro Maximoff dropped into their now-80s-set Westview pad for a touching reunion, opening up a can of Marvel Cinematic Universe worms that have now spilled just about everywhere. Pietro, as played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson in the MCU, originally died in a hail of bullets protecting Hawkeye and an endangered child at the climax of Avengers: Age of Ultron – Marvel’s 2015 blockbuster team-up movie where we first properly met Wanda – and Kevin Feige and director Joss…

The Expanse Season 5 Ending Explained

New DVD release, , ,
This article contains The Expanse spoilers. The reunion of the Rocinante crew (minus one) and Avasarala’s return to power provided some measure of resolution in The Expanse season 5 finale, but even with season 6 being the final outing for the show, the story of the protomolecule is far from over. Showrunner Naren Shankar helped shed some light on those final moments, including the nature of Laconia and the status of several characters whose arcs are ongoing. The Rogue Martians Bring the Protomolecule to Laconia Let’s start at the end and work backwards. There was something dangerously familiar about the…
