Cobra Kai: Inside That Surprising Season 3 Cameo

Netflix, New DVD release, , , ,
The following contains spoilers for Cobra Kai season 3. When Tory Nichols (Peyton List) first appeared in Cobra Kai, she was the best red herring ever. She introduced herself in season 2 episode 4 “The Moment of Truth” as “Tory… with a ‘Y’” and every fan of the original film went ballistic. In The Karate Kid, Ali Mills (Elisabeth Shue) introduced herself to Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) as “Ali… with an ‘I’” so we all wondered if Tory might be Ali’s daughter.  Then season 3 leads us on even more. In the second episode of this season, “Nature vs Nurture,”…

Fear the Walking Dead Season 6 Episode 7 Review: Damage From the Inside

New DVD release, , , , ,
This Fear the Walking Dead review contains spoilers.  Fear the Walking Dead Season 6 Episode 7 The last time I struggled to write a review for Fear the Walking Dead was the season 4 finale, “…I Lose Myself.” I wrote at the time, “Several false starts and a couple thousand words later, I realized I wasn’t writing a review for a lackluster episode. Rather, I was writing a eulogy for a show I once loved.” Unfortunately, history seems to be repeating itself. And this is a difficult thing to admit, since season 6 showed so much promise. If this season could be…

Behind the Scenes on Inside No. 9’s Most Terrifying Episode

New DVD release, , , ,
Warning: contains spoilers for Inside No. 9 ‘The Harrowing’ “It was ‘WTF!? Oh my God! I’m not going to sleep! Why did you do that to me?!’” The moment the credits rolled on Inside No. 9’s series one finale ‘The Harrowing’, director David Kerr was deluged with messages. “People were very responsive,” he laughs. “We’d gone for something bold that was properly horrible and would haunt them. There’s not much out there that scares a horror fan because they’ve seen it all so many times. That’s the challenge. You want to hit people with a visceral, palpable gut punch that they…

Inside Pixar’s Soul and the Secrets of Life Before Death

New DVD release, , , ,
In 2015 Pixar and director Pete Docter brought us Inside Out, a brilliant, moving exploration of how our emotions affect our relationships as we grow older. The Oscar-winning film’s script (by Docter, Meg LeFauve, and Josh Cooley) was heavily inspired by the filmmakers’ research into neuropsychology and the mysteries of how the human mind works. Now five years later, Docter and a new team have gone in a completely different direction–the metaphysical–with Soul. Den of Geek was given a chance to view the first 20 minutes of the film and speak afterward with Docter, co-writer Kemp Powers, and producer Dana…

Archer Season 11: Inside Barry’s Return and the Robot Apocalypse

New DVD release, , , , , ,
The following contains spoilers for Archer season 11 episode 4. Archer season 11 has been a strong return to form and has, in many ways, reinvigorated the series. This new season largely revolves around the changes that have happened during Archer’s coma absence and whether he’s able to persevere through these transitions. Previous episodes have all examined how Archer’s return has effected those that are closest to him, but the season’s newest installment, “Robot Factory,” explores this from the perspective of Archer’s greatest rival, the robotic Barry.  “Robot Factory” might be the most satisfying episode of the season yet. It…

Go Inside the Making of We Bare Bears: The Movie (Exclusive)

New DVD release, , , ,
We Bare Bears: The Movie was an absolute delight and even thought it released at the end of June I’m still thinking about it. The way it managed to balance the comedy and melancholy of the series with its absolutely riveting message is one that’ll speak to generations to come. We got a chance to speak with Daniel Chong about the film when it came out but there’s even more We Bare Bears: The Movie behind-the-scenes content that’s coming soon! The movie will hit DVD on September 8, 2020 and will be stacked (in true We Bare Bears fashion) with…

Space Outside, Sexism Inside: Mary Robinette Kowal’s The Relentless Moon

New DVD release, , , , , ,
This post is sponsored by In The Relentless Moon, space wants to kill you, but that’s par for the course for Mary Robinette Kowal’s punch card punk Lady Astronaut series: Ten years after a massive meteorite obliterated most of the Eastern Seaboard, the International Aerospace Coalition is trying its damnedest to cooperate long enough to get humanity to a new home, first on the Moon, then eventually on Mars. The nascent lunar colony is subjected not only to the typical dangers of trying to create a new civilization where one step outside without your suit and you’re dead—but combine sabotage…

The Lovebirds: Inside Kumail Nanjiani and Issa Rae’s Murder Mystery

New DVD release, , , , ,
The thing about relationships is the honeymoon period always ends. When faced with the banality of routine or potential deal breakers, some couples go to therapy; others try to spice things up; and some… accidentally help kill a man, then go on the run together to clear their names. In The Lovebirds, Michael Showalter’s murder mystery comedy starring Kumail Nanjiani and Issa Rae, there’s nothing like running through New Orleans in a unicorn onesie, surviving interrogation via horse, and infiltrating a Handmaid’s Tale-esque secret ceremony to remind you why you fell in love. Nanjiani and Showalter previously worked together on…

Inside the Justice League Dark: Apokolips War Ending

New DVD release, , , ,
This article contains major spoilers for Justice League Dark: Apokolips War. And just like that it’s over. After seven years and 22 movies the DC Animated Movie Universe has come to an end. Justice League Dark: Apokolips War has the unenviable task of wrapping up multiple threads and acting as a sort-of-sequel to some of the DC Animated Movie Universe’s biggest hits. The R-rated action romp succeeds at crafting a satisfying end and makes an unexpected hero out of one of the most famed anti-heroes in Hell and Earth, John Constantine. We chatted to Matt Ryan about his hero’s arc,…

Cursed Films: Inside the ‘Poltergeist Curse’

New DVD release, , , ,
As a child of the ‘80s, the so-called Poltergeist curse looms largest in my memory amongst films supposedly plagued by supernaturally bad luck. And as a paranormal pop culture researcher, the fact real skeletons were used in the finale’s swimming pool scene makes the notion of a curse all the more compelling. As purely a storytelling device, a curse would make sense; it tracks. Of course there is most likely no truth to it either. To be sure, there is indeed tragedy connected to the film. Most notable is the murder of 22-year-old actress Dominique Dunne in November 1982–five months…

Inside the Rain

But Glass is more than his diagnoses - he prefers the term “recklessly extravagant” - and he’s determined to prove his genius. When a misunderstanding threatens to expel him from college, Glass pushes back; he plans on recreating the incident on video, with the help of a moonlighting sex worker (Ellen Toland) to clear his name. But how will he raise the money for the film, when his parents dismiss the scheme as another manic episode?Rated: Not RatedRelease Date: Mar 13, 2020

Dick Cavett Show: Inside The Mind Of….

New DVD release,
Recommended Talk show host Dick Cavett (b. 1936) is rightly remembered as having one of the very best talk shows on television. His unusual combination of Yale-educated intellectualism and Nebraska-bred midwestern ordinariness, a kind of perpetual state of halting slight embarrassment, charmed audiences. They appreciated his self-deprecating humor and, most significantly, his eclectic guests. His smart conversations spurred many guests who'd rarely (or never) turn up on The Tonight Show, "Joey Bishop" or "Mike Douglas": esteemed writers, firebrand political activists, out-of-the-mainstream rock stars, and reclusive actors like Brando and Katharine Hepburn. More than a decade ago, Shout! Factory released a…
