How Spiral Connects to the Larger Saw Franchise

New DVD release, , ,
This article contains spoilers for Spiral: From the Book of Saw. Read the spoiler-free review here. It was a year and lifetime ago when the Spiral: From the Book of Saw trailer caught everyone off guard. What is this police procedural thriller starring Chris Rock and… wait a second, is that the Saw music? Yes, it was! Rock, plus Samuel L. Jackson, is starring in a reboot/spinoff of the 2000s’ most popular horror franchise: Saw. How it would connect to those gruesome bloodbaths which helped pioneer the “torture porn” subgenre of horror, was not immediately clear. But with Spiral now…

How The Bad Batch Ties into the Larger Star Wars Universe

New DVD release, , , , , ,
The Mandalorian Season 2 is arriving in the Disney+ streaming star system imminently, having fortuitously dodged the blaster shot of COVID complications. Auspiciously enough, the hit Star Wars series will return in a form that’s bigger in every conceivable way—at least that’s what series creator Jon Favreau, executive producer Dave Filoni and the cast are teasing.

The 100’s Decision to Sideline Clarke is Part of a Larger Season 7 Problem

New DVD release, , , , ,
The following contains The 100 spoilers. Heading into the final season of The 100, most fans didn’t really know what to expect. After a penultimate season that catapulted the characters we knew over a century into the future, deposited them on an unknown planet and introduced literal bodysnatchers pretending to be gods, pretty much anything seemed possible.

It’s been a ton of fun to watch, but it’s often…
