With Lady of Caladan, Dune Finally Gives Lady Jessica the Epic She Deserves

New DVD release, , , ,
This article is sponsored by In the epic of Dune, the hero of the story might appear to be Paul Atreides, but the most powerful character in the original Frank Herbert novel is actually his mother, Lady Jessica. Although not formally married to Paul’s father Duke Leto, Jessica belongs to the order of the Bene Gesserit, a matriarchal group of telepathic pseudo-witches, who are pretty much Dune’s version of the Jedi. In the backstory of Dune, Jessica has angered her Bene Gesserit elders by disrupting their complex breeding program. Instead of having a daughter with Duke Leto — as instructed…

Is Jeopardy! Finally Preparing Ken Jennings for the Hosting Job?

New DVD release, , , ,
What if the right Jeopardy! host was the obvious choice all along? Sony Pictures Television, the studio behind Jeopardy!, announced today that two guest hosts will see the beloved quiz show institution through to the end of the calendar year, following the ousting of the former executive producer and the show’s (poor) choice to replace Alex Trebek, Mike Richards. Former guest host Mayim Bialik, who has already secured a job hosting primetime Jeopardy! specials, will begin her next guest hosting stint on September 20 and end it the first week of November, for seven weeks total. Ken Jennings, the undisputed…

Hawkeye Trailer Finally Brings Captain America Musical to the Stage

New DVD release, , , , , ,
He throws a mighty shield, but can Captain America carry a showtune? In Disney+’s upcoming Hawkeye miniseries, we’re about to find out. As revealed in our first official footage of the Jeremy Renner spinoff TV show, the Marvel Cinematic Universe is still mourning the absence (and death?) of Steve Rogers… and capitalizing on it with some terrific kick-turns! Indeed, Captain America: The Musical is now officially canon, albeit they refer to it as Rogers in the MCU. Apparently the hottest ticket on Broadway, the new show is at the center of the Hawkeye trailer, which begins with Clint Barton (Renner)…

Leonardo DiCaprio Finally Does Comedy in Don’t Look Up Trailer, It’s Glorious

New DVD release, , , , ,
You know Leonardo DiCaprio has brilliant comic timing, right? It’s something rarely remarked upon in the press or on social media, but it’s been true since practically the beginning of his career. And it’s one of the primary reasons the first trailer for Adam McKay’s new movie, Don’t Look Up, is such a welcome delight. To  be sure, the upcoming comedy, which will be released on Netflix in time for Christmas, has plenty going for it beyond DiCaprio visibly reaching for the yucks. After all, this is a (dark) McKay comedy, and the first full-on one the now Oscar winning…

Evil Season 2: Has Kristen Finally Lost Her Mind?

New DVD release, ,
This Evil review contains spoilers. Evil Season 2 Episode 8 What was she thinking? Why did she do that? Does she really say that? You will find yourself asking these and other questions about Dr. Kristen Brouchard (Katja Herbers) on Evil season 2. Episode 8, “B Is for Brain.” The episode is about a machine at the center of a Cornell University study. It measures and records everything going on in someone’s mind when they are too zonked out to block things. But Kristen has too many secrets, and far too much on her mind to let an EMF-on-steroids machine…

Could Green Lantern Enthusiasm on Netflix Finally Will a DCEU Movie Into Existence?

Netflix, New DVD release, , , , , ,
It’s a miracle akin to the ring itself: 2011’s Green Lantern, starring Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan, has shot up to the top of Netflix’s Top 10 U.S. Movies list just two days after dropping on the streaming service. It’s at #3 as of this writing, with way more viewers likely to stream it over the weekend. While this may come as a surprise to those who first watched the film in theaters in 2011, interest in a Green Lantern movie has never been stronger. Despite his much maligned debut on the big screen, Green Lantern remains one of the…

Superman & Lois Finally Gave Lois Lane The Story She Deserved

New DVD release, , ,
This article contains SUPERMAN & LOIS episode 8 spoilers. Superman & Lois has done so many things right in its first season, using familiar comics characters to explore an uncharted onscreen corner of the Superman mythos, focusing on the struggles of small town businesses in an increasingly corporate America, and embracing bold and risky storytelling decisions like introducing hero John Henry Irons to the DC TV universe – just initially disguised as both a villain and a Luthor. If fans and critics (or, more specifically, me, who is both) have had one lingering complaint throughout Superman & Lois Season 1, it’s that…

Batman 89: Billy Dee Williams Finally Becomes Two-Face in Burtonverse Comic

New DVD release, , , , , ,
The Batman Burtonverse is coming back in a big way. Not only is Warner Bros. bringing back Michael Keaton as Batman in the upcoming Flash movie but DC Comics is set to publish a 6-issue limited series that explores what happened next after Tim Burton’s first Gotham City outing rolled credits. Batman ’89 brings together the movie’s original screenwriter, Sam Hamm, with artist Joe Quinones, who has been tied to a revival of the Burtonverse in the comics for quite some time. Quinones previously pitched a similar miniseries to DC, at the time to be written by Kate Leth (Hellcat).…

The Flash Finally Gave Killer Frost the Redemption Story She Deserves

New DVD release, , , , , ,
The following contains spoilers for The Flash through Season 7, Episode 8, Going into an episode of The Flash with a name like “The People v. Killer Frost,” you know there are certain things, you, as a viewer, are just going to have to accept. The CWs’ Arrowverse, writ large, has next to zero understanding of the American legal system and The Flash is one of the franchise’s worst offenders when it comes to creating believable courtroom drama. Remember when Barry went on trial for a murder he didn’t commit but also just strolled out of the courtroom when he…

How the Star Wars Movie and TV Shared Universe Is Finally Taking Shape

New DVD release, , , , ,
The future is bright for the Star Wars universe. Free from the Skywalker Saga films, the franchise can now forge a new path, with characters, storylines, and settings that don’t have to tie into Luke and his family drama. In fact, Disney seems to have already planted the seeds for a new type of Star Wars storytelling experience: era-specific shared universes on Disney+ that emulate the interconnectedness of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but inside smaller, more self-contained bubbles. We saw this start to happen in The Mandalorian season 2, which not only introduced beloved animated characters Ahsoka Tano and Bo-Katan…

How Power Rangers Dino Fury Finally Embraced The Franchise’s Continuity

New DVD release, , , , ,
Warning: This article contains POWER RANGERS DINO FURY episode eight spoilers. For the better part of 20 years Power Rangers has actively resisted a strict continuity. Sure it would drop a reference here or there but most of the time the show was content to keep its season closed off from one another. When we did get references or connections to the past they were often throw away at best and actively contradictory at worst. Sure we had a few great callbacks like Dr. K’s return in Beast Morphers but on the whole, attempts at continuity were few and far between and…

How The Falcon and the Winter Soldier Finally Gives Sharon Carter Her Due

New DVD release, , , , , ,
This article contains THE FALCON AND THE WINTER SOLDIER spoilers. The Falcon and the Winter Soldier has its fair share of issues: The bizarrely uneven pacing, the mixed messages about capitalism and propaganda, the fact that Flag Smashers is literally the stupidest name for a villain supergroup in history even if they do exist in the comics. But like WandaVision before it, the series truly excels at giving multiple sidelined Marvel Cinematic Universe characters a chance to finally step forward into their own stories. In just three episodes of this Disney+ series, we’ve already seen more acknowledgment of Sam’s struggle as a…

The Flash Finally Made the Right Decision with Caitlin and Frost

New DVD release, , , , ,
This The Flash article contains spoilers for Season 7, Episode 5, “Fear Me”. The Flash’s “Fear Me” is an entertaining enough Season 7 installment that gets to play with a long-standing genre trope, that of an outside entity – think demon, alien, magical dust, or, in this case, a metahuman known as Psych who’s able to project nightmare hallucinations onto others – who somehow allows us to explore the deepest fears of our favorite characters. (Plus, Cecile in The Thinker’s chair was pretty darn cool.) But it’s also an hour of The Flash that does something so necessary, that it…

The Suicide Squad Trailer Finally Reveals the Movie’s Villain

New DVD release, , , , , ,
The first actual trailer for James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad is here, and it’s drastically different from its cinematic predecessor. Stylistically, it has plenty of Gunn’s hallmarks, drawing on some of the most obscure, quirky characters in the DC Universe, it’s plenty violent, it’s got a cool tune (the best Steely Dan song, “Dirty Work”) and it’s certainly less shy about things like profanity than the director was allowed on his Guardians of the Galaxy movies for Marvel Studios. But the biggest surprise doesn’t come in John Cena’s Peacemaker expounding on his willingness to eat as many penises as liberty…

How Star Wars Can Finally Have a Marvel-Like Shared Universe

New DVD release, , ,
Last December, Disney announced seven new Star Wars film and TV projects, giving us a look at what the next few years in the galaxy far, far away will look like both on Disney+ and in theaters. While the Rogue Squadron movie directed by Patty Jenkins (Wonder Woman) was the absolute mic drop of the evening, equally impressive is Disney’s plan for the small screen: several new series that expand the stories of fan-favorite characters like Ahsoka Tano and Lando Calrissian. Most intriguing of all is that many of these shows are designed to connect and interact with each other.…

Could the Mortal Kombat Reboot Finally Give Us the Sub-Zero vs. Scorpion Fight We Deserve?

New DVD release, , , , , ,
The Mortal Kombat reboot movie from Warner Bros. has been a longtime coming. In fact, a fresh start for the film franchise has been in the works since at least 2010 when director Kevin Tancharoen pitched a movie called Mortal Kombat: Rebirth to Warner Bros. That project ended up in development hell, and it was Aquaman director James Wan who next picked up the torch in 2015 as producer, with newcomer Simon McQuoid directing from a script penned by Greg Russo. This is the reboot that you’ll finally get to see on HBO Max on April 16. Ahead of the…
