This Star Wars: The High Republic contains spoilers. With Star Wars: The High Republic, Disney and Lucasfilm set out to explore a new galactic era that looked and felt different from anything that came before.

New DVD releaseabigail, goldberg, mother, reveals, secret, stand, whoopi

This article contains spoilers for The Stand episode 1 and some aspects of the book. Though Stephen King may be best known as a prolific creator of bullies, creeps, and monsters (sometimes all in one person), one of his finest characters is firmly on the side of the angels. “Mother” Abigail Freemantle is a key figure in King’s 1978 classic The Stand (and in its 1990 unabridged version as well). A direct descendant of freed slaves, the 108-year-old Mother Abigail serves as God’s figurehead on Earth following a superflu pandemic that kills off 99% of the population and sets up…

Cobra Kai Season 3 Trailer Reveals Karate Kid Part II Characters

Netflix, New DVD releasecharacters, cobra, karate, reveals, season, trailer

When Cobra Kai launched in 2018, it delivered a Crane Kick to the face of skepticism, one packed with humor, humanity and just the right amount of 1980s nostalgia for The Karate Kid films, whose continuity continues on the series. However, the just-dropped trailer for the show’s third season—its first as a Netflix native—has upped the nostalgic ante by digging deeper into the mythos with the confirmed returns of The Karate Kid Part II characters Chozen and Kumiko! There’s a lot to cover when it comes to the New-Year-ringing Cobra Kai Season 3 trailer, but by far the biggest takeaway…

Andrew Scott Reveals His Dark Materials’ Chilling Behind-the-Scenes Secret: Show Tunes

New DVD releaseandrew, behind, chilling, materials, reveals, scenes, scott

His Dark Materials is the Dune of the TV world, which is to say: extremely selfish with its cast. As if His Dark Materials didn’t already have more than its fair share of charismatic talent in Season 1, they’ve gone ahead and added Andrew Scott to Season 2 of the epic fantasy series as Colonel John Parry. (Scott’s Fleabag boss and co-star Phoebe Waller-Bridge will be voicing his character’s daemon, which, again: let other shows have some talent, would you?) I jest, of course. It’s been one of 2020’s few joys to see the second season of this show come…

Sacha Baron Cohen says Borat 2—also known as Borat Subsequent Moviefilm: Delivery of Prodigious Bribe to American Regime for Make Benefit Once Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan—wasn’t the easiest picture to make. That is likely an understatement since almost the entire movie was filmed during the height of the first wave of the coronavirus pandemic in the U.S. And now he’s revealing footage on social media that offers a different context to events which appear in the finished film.

In a post on the game’s Steam page, Baldur’s Gate 3 developer Larian Studios revealed that many players don’t seem to be taking full advantage of the game’s extensive character creation options. It seems that the team at Larian combed over the character creator analytics in order to create a new character based on the most popular selections for individual categories.

Marvel’s MODOK Trailer Reveals Weird Puppet Styling

New DVD releasemarvel, modok, puppet, reveals, styling, trailer, weird

I feel like we’ve come a long way in our acceptance of superhero concepts as a society. The X-Men movies were so reluctant to include giant robots until they were six movies in and to this day, we haven’t seen Wolverine wear his trademark yellow tights on the big screen. We’re ready for that now and we’re ready for Galactus and we’re ready for a space horse who can pick up Thor’s hammer and so on. Even as the main villain of the new Avengers video game, MODOK is always going to be a hard sell. While he’s a fearsome…

Ava DuVernay Reveals Netflix Documentary 13th is Her Most Popular Film

Netflix, New DVD releasedocumentary, duvernay, netflix, popular, reveals

Ava DuVernay is one of the most accomplished and visible filmmakers of her generation. As the director of Selma, she is often celebrated for offering a poignant dramatization of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the SNCC organization’s fight for the Voting Rights Act—a fact that remains a demerit for the Academy Awards which nominated the film for Best Picture but not Best Director. Yet that is not her most popular film. Nor is it the Disney blockbuster she made afterward in A Wrinkle in Time. And when it comes to fielding questions about her work, even New Gods, a…
