Line of Duty: Could Jo Davidson End Tommy Hunter’s Legacy For Good?

New DVD release, , , ,
Warning: contains spoilers for Line of Duty series one to six. Considering that Tommy Hunter has only appeared on screen in four of Line of Duty’s 36 episodes – once in real time, once in a video clip, once in flashback, and once as an unrecognisable bandage-wrapped burns victim – the character casts a long shadow over the police thriller. Whatever and whoever AC-12 has investigated over the years, Tommy’s organised crime group and corrupt officers have been somewhere in the mix, wearing balaclavas, slitting throats and making a mockery of the law.  Though he died in the series two opener, Tommy’s legacy…

How George C. Romero’s Heavy Metal Comics Keep Dad’s Zombie Legacy Alive

New DVD release, , , , , ,
The name is Romero. George C. Romero. And in case you didn’t guess, George C. Romero is the son of the late, legendary George A. Romero, the pioneering filmmaker whose 1968 horror classic Night of the Living Dead changed the face of horror cinema forever. George A. Romero and his small independent film collective created the modern zombie mythology, which has occupied a vast swath of the horror genre from George A.’s own later masterpieces like Dawn of the Dead all the way to modern weekly nightmares in The Walking Dead. Meanwhile George Cameron Romero — the elder George’s son…

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier: The Flag-Smashers’ Marvel Legacy

New DVD release, , , , ,
This article contains The Falcon and the Winter Soldier spoilers. We still don’t know how much of an antagonist John Walker – the new Captain America – will be on The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. So far, Wyatt Russell’s Walker seems like a guy trying to do the right thing, and a decent enough fella, although his final interaction with Sam and Bucky at the end of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier episode 2 hints at a darker side. Still, he isn’t what we would exactly call a villain And while we do know that Helmut Zemo will…

The Legacy of Women in Anime with Funimation

New DVD release, , ,
This virtual panel is presented in partnership with Funimation. Anime has grown by leaps and bounds over the past decade as it’s progressively evolved from a niche interest into mainstream entertainment. There are now more places than ever to consume anime, whether it’s on broadcast television or any of the available streaming services, some of which are devoted entirely to anime content. It’s truly exciting to see the medium’s continued success, but part of the reason that it’s found such universal acclaim is because often anime is just as concerned about representation as it is with entertainment. Anime doesn’t just speak…

Why Hogwarts Legacy’s Transgender Character Options Shouldn’t Be Controversial

New DVD release, , , , , ,
A recent Bloomberg report revealed that the upcoming Harry Potter universe game Hogwarts Legacy will offer transgender character creation options by not associating the game’s “witch” and “wizard” designations with the player character’s voice, body type, and other customizable attributes.  The reveal of this intended feature drew controversy from some gamers who threw out the usual complaints (“SJW,” “PR Move,” “Virtue Signaling,” blah, blah, etc., etc.), but the bulk of the controversy in this instance dates back to anti-transgender comments made by Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling. Those comments once seemingly prompted Warner Bros. and Hogwarts Legacy developer Avalanche Software…

Jupiter’s Legacy Comic Comes to Life in Netflix Series First Look

Netflix, New DVD release, , , , , ,
At first glance, comics would appear to be the easiest print medium to adapt into a visual medium like film or television. But as we all know from decades spent watching comic book adaptations (some great, some good, some…not good) that’s not always the case.  There are bound to be subtleties of art, lighting, and movement that visual media could misinterpret or outright miss. With its latest comic adaptation, and its first project from Millarworld, Netflix looks to be striving for as close a visual adaptation as possible. Jupiter’s Legacy will be based on the comic book series of the…

Frank Zappa’s Son Ahmet Talks Legacy, Labels, and His Father’s Inventions

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Frank Zappa, who died in 1993, is one of the least understood artists of the 20th Century, which is ironic because he was also the most prolific. Introduced to the world as a bicycle-playing artiste concrète sitting naked on a toilet, he was a harmonic genius who experimented with sonic assault weapons and visual subversions. Frank Zappa was the Nikola Tesla of music. Alex Winter’s documentary ZAPPA, which is now available to watch in the UK and Ireland on Altitude.film, clarifies many of the contradictions by highlighting Zappa’s primary focus. The Mothers of Invention bandleader was a composer. As such,…

Jupiter’s Legacy Teaser Promises Vengeance

Netflix, New DVD release, , , ,
Back in 2017, Netflix acquired the rights to Scottish comic writer Mark Millar’s Millarworld imprint. Since then, Netflix and Millarworld have teamed up on the comic series The Magic Order but have not brought any of Millar’s other comic creations to the live-action television realm. Well, that will all change soon! Netflix has finally unveiled the first fruit of their Millarworld collaboration in the form of a release date and teaser for Jupiter’s Legacy. Jupiter’s Legacy is a Millar superhero comic from 2013. This adaptation will arrive on Netflix on May 7, 2021. Check out the first teaser below.  While…

Judas and the Black Messiah Ending Shows Horrific Legacy of COINTELPRO

New DVD release, , , , , ,
This article contains detailed Judas and the Black Messiah spoilers. Read our spoiler-free review here. We don’t even see it happen. Like Deborah Johnson (Dominique Fishback) and the other seven Black Panther Party members fortunate enough to survive an all-out assault on a Chicago apartment, we only experience the sound of it. Off-screen and out of focus, police officers glibly taunt Fred Hampton (Daniel Kaluuya), who is still incapacitated in his bed despite all hell having just broken loose in his home. Then there’s that sickening noise: two shots are fired into Hampton’s head. We only bear witness to the…

The Expanse: The Complicated Legacy of Alex Kamal

New DVD release, , ,
This article contains MAJOR spoilers for The Expanse. Proceed with caution. “That was one hell of a ride.” Yes, it certainly was, Alex! The Expanse season 5 finale gave us plenty of surprises, twists, and shifts in perspective, but the character arc of Alex Kamal shocked everyone with its significant departure from that of his counterpart in the James S. A. Corey novels. Showrunner Naren Shankar was able to shed some light on the narrative decisions that were made, knowing the impact that the changes would have but realizing that, in many ways, they needed to happen. Was Alex’s Death…

The Incredible Hulk’s Diminished Legacy in the Marvel Cinematic Universe

New DVD release, , , , ,
Love it or hate it, one of the things that makes the Marvel Cinematic Universe work is the long term synergy. With Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, over a decade of movies came together to pull off one of the most entertaining spectacles of our time. It’s a universe that, for the most part, feels consistent and it builds on itself as each movie feels like an essential cog in a larger machine. Some cogs are bigger than the others, though, and when it comes to “the others,” one can’t help but notice that 2008’s Incredible Hulk is something…

Vikings Season 6: How Lagertha’s Legacy Lives On

New DVD release, , , ,
This article contains Vikings season 6 spoilers. With the release of season 6 part two on Dec. 30, Vikings has come to an end. While the spinoff Vikings: Vahalla is set to premiere on Netflix sometime in 2021, it will pick up the story of the Viking and Anglo-Saxon conflict 100 years after the last events depicted in the original series. Thus the series finale of Vikings means we are saying goodbye to all the characters whose exploits viewers have enjoyed these last seven years. Whether in the flesh or in flashbacks, this is the final farewell. And no character…

How Marvel Will Explore the Iron Man Legacy in the MCU

New DVD release, ,
If you take a look at the first wave of Marvel Cinematic Universe shows coming to Disney+ you can trace a direct line to the core Avengers team. January’s WandaVision focuses on Vision and Scarlet Witch. March’s Falcon and the Winter Soldier plays in the same superspy corner of the MCU that Black Widow does while continuing the Captain America legacy. Hawkeye will feature Clint Barton training his replacement and will be the most street level MCU look since Daredevil was unceremoniously canceled. Loki is Thor’s brother, for cryin’ out loud. And She-Hulk, well…you get the picture. Each of these…

Redeeming The Legacy Of The Godfather Part III

New DVD release, ,
This article contains spoilers for The Godfather Coda: The Death of Michael Corleone. It’s been three decades since the story of crime lord Michael Corleone (Al Pacino) came to a bitter and lonely end in The Godfather Part III, with an aged Michael collapsing and dying alone in the courtyard of a Sicilian villa, his passing witnessed only by a small dog and seemingly no one left around him to care. Michael’s passing also signaled the somewhat underwhelming end to one of cinema’s greatest sagas, in which two undisputed masterpieces were followed by a troubled third chapter that did not…

How Star Trek: Discovery Fulfills Spock’s Franchise Legacy

New DVD release, , , ,
This Star Trek: Discovery article contains MAJOR spoilers for “Unification III,” and spoilers for Picard. Michael Burnham has returned to her home planet Vulcan in an attempt to recover some data from a Vulcan and Romulan alliance she never thought was even possible. If this sounds like the beginning of an epic title crawl in a Star Wars movie, you’re not far off. In Discovery Season 3, Episode 7, “Unification III,” the Trek franchise has delivered one of its most epic and generation-spanning episodes in a very long time. We always knew Star Trek: Discovery’s status as both a prequel…

How PS4’s Most Divisive Exclusives Captured the Console’s Legacy

New DVD release, , , ,
The PlayStation 4 will go down as one of the most successful video game consoles ever made. While its success can most easily be measured in sales figures (over 113 million units sold so far), most gamers will likely best remember the PS4 for its incredible library of games, which includes critically-acclaimed exclusives Bloodborne, Uncharted 4, God of War, Horizon Zero Dawn, and Marvel’s Spider-Man. In that same library, though, are a few games which some PS4 owners will ultimately remember differently than others. That’s obviously normal, but what is somewhat unusual is how the PS4’s three most divisive console…

How A Creepshow Animated Special Pays Tribute to Series Legacy

New DVD release, , , , ,
The 37 years between the release of Creepshow in 1982 and the debut of Shudder’s Creepshow TV series weren’t exactly kind to the franchise. 1987’s Creepshow 2 just couldn’t quite replicate the magic of its predecessor (despite its best intentions) and 2006’s Creepshow 3 was bad enough to raise the question: “What was it that made the original Creepshow so special?” What was that magical quality the 1982 classic found that’s proven to be so difficult to replicate? When you get down to it, what even defines a Creepshow story? “Well, they have to be fun,” says Greg Nicotero, special…
