Jupiter’s Legacy: Ben Daniels Plays Mind Games as Brainwave

Netflix, New DVD release, , , , ,
This article is presented by: Costume dramas are certainly nothing new to Ben Daniels, having immersed himself into the world of the British Royals as Antony Armstrong-Jones, 1st Earl of Snowdon on The Crown, but Jupiter’s Legacy, and its world of spandex-clad superheroes, brings that notion to a whole new level. The British born Daniels launched his career on the stage, where he found himself nominated for one award after another, taking home the Olivier Award for Best Supporting Actor in 2001 for Arthur Miller’s All My Sons. Eight years later he made the move to Broadway. But he’s another…

Ranking The Bill’s Christmas Specials From Best to the One Where Reg Plays the Back End of a Panto Cow

New DVD release, , , , ,
Christmas is where you find it. Sometimes you find it in Canley Borough Operational Unit Command, Sun Hill. It’s a rough joint where the hours are long and life is short. It’s where the cops play hardball, the dames play hard to get, and the dame-cops do both, in sensible shoes. (That’s right, some of the cops are dames – though admittedly, not really until the 1990s, and they rarely make it past Inspector.)  Over its 27-year history, British police procedural The Bill aired 2,425 episodes, just five of which were Christmas specials. They represent 0.0020% of the total output, and 100%…

The Mandalorian: Who Plays Luke Skywalker in the Season 2 Finale?

New DVD release, , , ,
This Star Wars: The Mandalorian article contains spoilers. Savvy, Force-sensitive bunch that they are, many Star Wars fans felt the impending arrival of a certain green lightsaber-wielding Jedi in The Mandalorian’s near future. After all, Grogu summoned a Jedi in “The Tragedy” and it’s not like there’s an abundant supply of Force-users out there in the show’s continuity. Naturally, those same fans had some strong opinions on who should portray the post-Return of the Jedi, pre-Force Awakens version of Luke Skywalker. Sebastian Stan, The Winter Soldier himself, was the most popular fancast. Not only does he have a certain moisture…

Star Wars: The Mandalorian – How Is Boba Fett Alive and Who Plays the Bounty Hunter?

New DVD release, , , ,
This Star Wars: The Mandalorian article contains spoilers. From the very beginning, Boba Fett has inspired The Mandalorian. Showrunner Jon Favreau’s “toy box” approach pitched protagonist Din Djarin as a Boba Fett-like figure, and although the two are quite different in terms of personality and history, the iconic silhouette of the space western gunslinger is very similar.  But now Boba Fett himself is back in The Mandalorian season 2, played by none other than Temuera Morrison in a very brief cameo. At the very end of the season 2 premiere “The Marshall,” we find Boba watching from a hill as…
