A Beginner’s Guide to Marvel Zombies

New DVD release, , ,
This article contains spoilers for Marvel’s What If…? Man, Marvel’s What If…? series really does draw you in with a false sense of security, doesn’t it? The first episode is an adorable romance story laced with punching Nazis. The second is a tribute to a late actor in the form of galactic utopia. Then we get the Avengers being murdered, the universe being melted, and now Captain America eating human flesh. Enjoy your nightmares, kids! The fifth episode of What If…? is a bit of a fanservice choice. For the latter half of the 2000s, Marvel was riding the Marvel…

An A.P. Bio Season 4 Episode Guide with Showrunner Mike O’Brien

New DVD release, , , ,
Fittingly for a show about high school, A.P. Bio’s writers are often tasked with the least enjoyable aspect of education: homework. “One of the ways we try to find new areas in stories is just by writing assignments and homework,” A.P. Bio showrunner Mike O’Brien tells Den of Geek. “We’ll all go home and write. I often call them sketches or scenes – just some little thing.” O’Brien’s homework assignments have apparently paid off as they’ve allowed the comedy to reach four seasons, the first two of which aired on NBC and the following two on streaming service Peacock.  A.P.…

Inside No. 9 Series 5 Episode Guide, Cast & Reviews

New DVD release, , , ,
Series five took Inside No. 9 to new and unusual places: the changing room at a premier league football match, a Louisiana prison, a cemetery at night, Wood Green… In fan-treat episode ‘Death Be Not Proud’, it even revisited an old haunt. Co-creators Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith welcomed new guest stars including David Morrissey, Ralf Little, Jenna Coleman, Phil Davis and Maxine Peake. The series earned Bafta nominations for Best Scripted Comedy and Best Male Performance in a Comedy Programme, to go with Steve Pemberton’s 2019 Bafta win for the previous series.

The Handmaid’s Tale Season 4 Episode Release Guide

New DVD release, , , ,
Warning: the Handmaid’s tale season 4 episode synopses below contain plot spoilers The Handmaid’s Tale isn’t the kind of TV show that suits a binge-watch. Its heart-heavy dystopian story about a brutal theocracy that enslaves and rapes fertile women benefits from a little fresh air between episodes. On-screen torture and suffering are best delivered in small doses. It’s good news then, that after its first three episodes are released on Hulu in one batch on Wednesday April 28th, the remaining seven episodes of season four will be released weekly each Wednesday until June 16th, giving US viewers all time to…

Mortal Kombat Easter Eggs and Reference Guide

New DVD release, , , ,
This Mortal Kombat article contains spoilers. There’s a new Mortal Kombat live-action movie out on HBO Max, and it comes after nearly 30 years of games, cartoons, and movie adaptations. With such a long history to pick through, it shouldn’t surprise anyone that the new movie has more than a few easter eggs and references to the series’ most famous moments and characters. Why wouldn’t there be? Why even make a new movie if you’re not going to throw your fans a bone or twenty exploding skulls? We’re keeping track of all the neat easter eggs that fill the 2021…

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier Episode 4: Marvel and MCU Easter Eggs Guide

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…

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier Episode 3: Marvel and MCU Easter Eggs Guide

New DVD release, , , , , ,
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. A slow burn first episode led to some bigger revelations in the second one, but the third episode of the Marvel series is a bona fide sequel to one of the biggest MCU movies of all time in Captain America: Civil War. With a truly triumphant return for Sharon Carter and the re-introduction of Baron Helmut Zemo in a form that should feel…

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier Episode 2: Marvel and MCU Easter Eggs Guide

New DVD release, , , , , ,
This article contains The Falcon and the Winter Soldier spoilers. Marvel’s The Falcon and the Winter Soldier episode 2 is much less of a slow burn than the first episode. Not only do we actually get Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes sharing screen time together, and a better understanding of what new Captain America John Walker is all about, but we get a host of new Marvel Comics characters introduced to the MCU! There’s a lot going on in this episode, so let’s start digging in to all the Marvel goodness to be found… The Star-Spangled Man The title of…

Zack Snyder’s Justice League: DC Comics and DCEU Easter Eggs Guide

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…

Marvel’s WandaVision Episode 9: MCU Easter Eggs and Reference Guide

New DVD release, , , , ,
This article contains WandaVision spoilers. The final episode of WandaVision is here, and it’s 45 minutes of big screen Marvel Cinematic Universe blockbuster chaos magic action…but on the small screen. And while pound for pound it’s a little lighter on Marvel Comics and MCU Easter eggs than what we’ve seen in previous weeks (let alone sitcom references, now that we’ve left that world long behind), there’s still PLENTY to dig in to and fun things you might have missed. In particular, this episode sets up at least two upcoming big screen adventures with both Captain Marvel 2 and Doctor Strange…

Marvel’s WandaVision Episode 8: MCU Easter Eggs and Reference Guide

New DVD release, , , , ,
This article contains WandaVision episode 8 spoilers and potential spoilers for the wider MCU. “You didn’t think you were the only magical girl in town, did you?”  Agatha Harkness makes good on that line from last week’s episode in WandaVision episode 8, which functions as a trip through Wanda Maximoff’s entire MCU history. Not only does it reveal previously hidden (and crucially necessary) depths to her character and her relationship with Vision, but it successfully adds new elements to her established origin story. These new wrinkles pull from Wanda’s entire Marvel history, and have massive implications for magic users and…

Star Wars Books: A Guide to Canon Novels in Chronological Order

New DVD release, , , , ,
Star Wars has a rich history of tie-in stories, from somber explorations of space politics to weird, goofy adventure. Disney’s revamped canon has been in place for almost ten years, since 2012. The first novel in the new canon, 2014’s A New Dawn, realigned the books with what Lucasfilm would eventually do with the Sequel Trilogy under the new ownership. If you want to read the canon books in chronological order, where do you start? And where do they fit with regards to the movies? This list includes both adult and YA novels, and does not include audio dramas, direct…

Marvel’s WandaVision Episode 7: MCU Easter Eggs and Reference Guide

New DVD release, , , , ,
This article contains WandaVision episode 7 spoilers and potential spoilers for future episodes and the wider MCU. WandaVision episode 7 is probably the final episode that is going to adhere to the sitcom format. As we’ve seen in recent episodes, the show is spending more and more time in the confines of the “real” MCU, and with its TV homages now brought up to modern day, it can spend its final two episodes bringing more surprises and wrapping up its incredibly ambitious story. But WandaVision episode 7 is ambitious enough in itself, and like previous episodes, it’s positively full of…

Marvel’s WandaVision Episode 6: MCU Easter Eggs and Reference Guide

New DVD release, , , , ,
This article contains WANDAVISION spoilers through episode 6, possibly beyond, and for the wider MCU. It’s Halloween in Westview, and WandaVision is going all out. From the most comics-accurate looks for Scarlet Witch, Vision, Quicksilver, and even Wiccan to an eerie “Wicked Witch of the West” getup for Agnes, this episode isn’t messing around with its pop culture references. Oh yeah, and the whole thing feels faintly like an episode of Malcolm in the Middle, too! Let’s get to work, because there’s a lot to unpack on WandaVision episode 6… Halloween in Westview The episode’s title is “All-New Halloween Spooktacular!” which on…

Marvel’s WandaVision Episode 5: MCU Easter Eggs and Reference Guide

New DVD release, , , , ,
This article contains WandaVision spoilers through episode 5, possibly beyond, and for the wider MCU. WandaVision episode 5, “On a Very Special Episode…” took everything we liked about the first two episodes and shook them up. For the first time, we have a fully blended approach to the storytelling, with the episode alternating between the altered “sitcom” reality of Westview, NJ and the actual, current MCU events. And then there’s that multiverse-shattering ending to contend with. There’s a lot to break down with this week’s WandaVision, so we’d better get to it… Sitcom Influences WandaVision took us to the ‘80s…

Marvel’s WandaVision Episode 4: MCU Easter Eggs and Reference Guide

New DVD release, , , , ,
This article contains WandaVision episode 4 spoilers, as well as potential spoilers for future episodes and the wider MCU. WandaVision episode 4 ditches the sitcom format in favor of something that gives us a much clearer picture of what’s happening in the “real” MCU. Primarily functioning as a Monica Rambeau origin story, and one that gives us a better look at the inner working of SWORD (and puts FBI Agent Jimmy Woo front and center!), this week’s WandaVision also answers some big questions about what’s going on in Westview. Or does it? Let’s get to work… MONICA RAMBEAU This episode…

Marvel’s WandaVision Episode 3: MCU Easter Eggs and Reference Guide

New DVD release, , , , ,
This article contains WANDAVISION Episode 3 spoilers, and potential spoilers for future episodes, the wider MCU, and Marvel Comics. We have a spoiler free review here. WandaVision episode 3 is the first full color episode of the series, and moves the setting from the black-and-white 1960s of the previous episodes to a vibrant Brady Bunch-esque Technicolor of the early 1970s. There’s lots of fun weirdness to find between the lines, both from a Marvel and MCU Easter eggs standpoint and callouts to classic sitcoms of its era. Let’s get to work… SITCOM INSPIRATION Let’s start with the big one… The Brady Bunch This episode borrows…

NOTE: This is our reference guide for WandaVision episode 2! If you’re looking for episode 1, click here instead. And you thought this show couldn’t get weirder? WandaVision episode 2 moved its sitcom-flavor a few years into the (still black and white) future, introduced a few new characters, and started leaning a little harder into the MCU than we saw in the first episode. Let’s see what we found… Sitcom Inspiration! The idea of a regular suburban couple needing…

This article contains WandaVision Episode 1 spoilers, and potential spoilers for future episodes, the wider MCU, and Marvel Comics. We have a spoiler free review here. Marvel’s WandaVision has finally arrived on Disney+! While two episodes kicked things off, there’s so much goodness (and weirdness) packed into each of the episodes that we’re just gonna go one at a time for now. Here are all the Marvel, MCU, and classic sitcom Easter eggs we’ve found so far in WandaVision episode 1… Sitcom Inspiration! The episode takes most of its style and appearance from The Dick Van Dyke Show. The layout…
