New DVD releasebarbarians, german, needs, netflix, questions, season, series

Warning: contains spoilers for Barbarians season one. While historians may have other items on their wish list (including more a more accurate representation of 9 AD, judging by some responses), what most viewers want from a second season of Barbarians is escapist action. We want hefty sword fights, ferocious armies, blood-daubed faces screaming for revenge, shocking deaths, betrayals, and naked hook-ups in the dye shed. All that is hopefully in the pipeline now that filming on season two is underway. As reported by Deadline, the second season of Germany’s most successful Netflix production went into production in and around the…

Netflix, New DVD releaseanswered, questions, sequel

This Army of the Dead article contains spoilers. Zack Snyder’s Army of the Dead packed a punch on Netflix the weekend of its release.

The Nevers Star Laura Donnelly Answers Burning Finale Questions

New DVD releaseanswers, burning, donnelly, finale, laura, nevers, questions

The following contains major spoilers for The Nevers episode 6. The star of HBO sci-fi series The Nevers has never shied away from the fact that the show’s sixth episode would be a big one. “Six is an extraordinary episode,” Donnelly (who plays Amalia True) told Den of Geek prior to the series premiere. “It provides a lot of the answers to the questions that the audience might have. It seemed like a very natural cut-off point.” Whether episode 6, titled “True”, is a natural cut-off point remains to be seen. Due to the coronavirus pandemic suspending production, the show’s…

Line of Duty Series 6 Episode 7: H, The Fourth Man, the End of AC-12 & All Our Questions & Theories

New DVD releaseepisode, fourth, questions, series, theories

Warning: contains spoilers for the Line of Duty series 6 finale. Perhaps thanks to the extra half hour of screen time, or perhaps because there was a genuine sense of threads being tied up as AC-12 went into storage for potentially the last time, there are fewer questions left to answer than usual after Line of Duty series six. The finale gave us lots of certainty, and just a few things still to mull over. After you’ve read our weekly episode review, catch up on the post-finale theories and questions below. So, Buckells was H all along? He was bent all along, ever since…

There’s just one episode remaining in this special extra-long Line of Duty series, and after that whopper of an interview scene, we already have the answers to several of our previous questions. Below are a few still to be pondered, including: how long has Marcus Thurwell been dead? (Ages) Is Patricia ‘Don’t call me the Guvnor’ Carmichael working for the OCG? (Nah) Is CC Osborne The Fourth Man? (Has to be, doesn’t he?) And what are they going to find under the concrete floor in that workshop? After you’ve read our weekly…

Warning: contains spoilers for Line of Duty series 6 episode 5 The pause button really came into its own in this week’s Line of Duty instalment, which was even more packed than usual with references to the past. It saw the return of Patrick Fairbank, and the new arrival of a potential ‘H’ candidate played by Jimmy Nesbitt, plus a cliffhanger that threatened the end of DI Kate Fleming (see below for more on that). On top of all that, it turned out that Jo Davidson being related to Tommy Hunter wasn’t the worst of her DNA revelations; her family…

Warning: contains spoilers for Line of Duty series 6 episode 4. After all the excitement of episode four (read our spoiler-filled review here), fans could be forgiven for taking a recovery day before putting their minds to work and trying to figure out series six’s many mysteries. But did Steve and Chloe take a rest after that shoot-out? No, so in their honour, neither will we. After all, as Kate told Ted in that piss-stinking underpass make-up scene, we’ve got a case to solve.

Warning: contains spoilers for Line of Duty series 6 episode 3. Now three episodes in to Line of Duty series six, the questions and theories are piling up. Jo Davidson is clearly up to her neck in it, but she’s not the one pulling the strings. Who is Jo talking to on that laptop? Is it H? What hold does the OCG have over her, and what might it have to do with that photograph of her mother from episode one? The final four episodes will tell. In the meantime, after you’ve read our weekly episode review, there’s all this to ponder……

This article contains spoilers for Attack on Titan season 4 part 1. But not for season 4 part 2, or the manga (that we know of). Many anime come along and leave an undeniable mark on the industry, yet every season of Attack on Titan manages to dramatically increase in quality as well as deepen the series’ scope and themes. Attack on Titan season 4, dubbed as Attack on Titan: The Final Season has pushed these limits more than ever before and the anime’s latest collection of episodes brilliantly play with the audiences’ perception of who they should root for…

Nobody is an Action Movie That Questions ‘Toxic Masculinity’

New DVD releaseaction, masculinity, movie, nobody, questions, toxic

Hutch Mansell (Bob Odenkirk) is (as his film title suggests) a Nobody. He’s a schlub who gets up for the same soul-deadening routine each day: he drinking his coffee, forgets to take the garbage out, and sits at his boring desk job. He then comes home to kids who barely tolerate him and a wife who literally makes a barrier of pillows between them in their bed. When he fails to protect their house against a home invasion–even though he clearly could have–the sense of disappointment from his family is palpable. But the incident awakens something long dormant in Hutch:…

Warning: contains spoilers for Line of Duty series 6 episode 1 Line of Duty requires attentive viewing. Try to watch it while doing the ironing and it’ll be burnt shirt collars and confusion for you, son. Every sly look, slight frown and worried swallow by the characters needs to be absorbed by fans if we’re to construct our usual baroque theories week by week. (A bold, early suggestion: DCI Davidson is the first innocent copper AC-12 has ever investigated; she simply has the ability to see things happen in slow-motion, like a housefly, and is a keen collector of high-end door locks.

WandaVision: The Unanswered Questions From the Marvel Series

New DVD releasemarvel, questions, series, unanswered, wandavision

This article contains WandaVision spoilers. After two months and nine episodes, WandaVision came to a close. One of the more unique projects to come out of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the show mixed mystery and horror with sitcom pastiche and understandings of grief under the superhero umbrella. The first step in both Phase 4 and Disney+’s Marvel lineup came out a success and built towards future projects. Then again, its mysterious nature worked against it at times. Figuring out answers on a weekly basis meant trying to stay one step ahead of the show and sometimes it got viewers going…

Bloodlands Episode 2 Questions & Theories: Goliath, the Owl Pendant and the Kidnapper

New DVD releasebloodlands, episode, goliath, kidnapper, pendant, questions, theories

Warning: contains MAJOR spoilers for Bloodlands episode 2. In BBC thriller Bloodlands, in Belfast in early 1998, weeks before the Good Friday Agreement was reached, four people disappeared from both sides of the political conflict. They were former IRA member Joe Harkin, UVF Loyalist David Corry, Catholic priest Father Quinlan and military police officer Emma Brannick. The disappearances were made to look as though the victims had left the country, but it was suspected that all four had been executed by an assassin codenamed ‘Goliath’, an ‘inside man’ with access to police files. The disappearances were never solved, the investigation…

WandaVision Episode 9: The Big Questions We Need Answered

New DVD releaseanswered, episode, questions, wandavision

This article contains WandaVision spoilers. With just one episode left in the season – and technically the series – the finale of WandaVision has a lot of ground to cover. Its penultimate installment was not just a heartbreaking retrospective of just how terrible Wanda’s life has been and how much she has suffered, it gave us an entirely new understanding of a character that’s been part of this universe for four feature films to date. Plus, there’s the whole thing where a secret government agency appears to have reanimated Vision’s dead body to use as a weapon, and Wanda herself…

WandaVision Episode 7 Post Credits Scene Asks More Questions Than it Answers

New DVD releaseanswers, credits, episode, questions, scene, wandavision

This article contains WandaVision spoilers. WandaVision episode 7 finally gives us a post-credits scene. Yes, the tried and true MCU tradition has finally made its way to one of the Marvel Studios Disney+ shows. Sure, you could probably argue that the fact that the first few episodes had “sitcom credits” before the actual credits rolled was kind of a meta-joke about the credits themselves being the post-credits scenes on this show (and I’m not entirely sure that wasn’t intentional), but in terms of an actual stinger or tease for future episodes? Nothing until now. But the thing is, this isn’t…
