Clerks 3 Will Recreate Famous Jay & Silent Bob Scene from the Original

New DVD releaseclerks, famous, original, recreate, scene, silent

The original Clerks was, arguably, geek culture’s first major shot across the mainstream bow upon its Oct. 1994 release. Having rode Cannes Film Festival buzz from earlier that year, the print-media-proliferated story of a regular dude from New Jersey selling his precious comic book collection to help fund his $27,575 indie passion project stoked a cultural curiosity that money couldn’t buy. Of course, said curiosity yielded the breakthrough of a lifetime for the dude in question, Kevin Smith. Now, some 27 years and several shared-universe films later, the filmmaker and recent Masters of the Universe visionary reveals that Clerks III…

Peaky Blinders: Aunt Polly Bonus Scene Could Point the Way for the Character’s Future

New DVD releaseblinders, bonus, could, peaky, point, polly, scene

Warning: contains spoilers for Peaky Blinders season five. Polly Gray, Shelby Company treasurer, Romani Queen and clairvoyant witch, is the fabric of Peaky Blinders. The glamorous, redoubtable Shelby matriarch is a matchless creation. Sharp-tongued and sharply tailored, Polly gets all the best lines and all the best looks. She’s an integral part of the family’s stratospheric ascent, having run the bookmakers while the boys were fighting in France, and continuing to run things ever since at Tommy’s side (or just as often, at his throat). She drips wit, shoots rapists, twists mafiosos around her little finger, scares the shit out of abusive nuns,…

New DVD releasecredits, cruella, explained, scene

This article contains Cruella spoilers. Disney’s latest live-actioner, Cruella, is a prequel to 101 Dalmatians which sees Emma Stone’s budding fashion designer Estella begin to grow into her villainous alter-ego Cruella de Vil. By the end of the film ,she hasn’t yet reached the depths of Disney’s puppy-skinning diva – there’s time yet – but there’s a mid credits scene in Cruella which might hint at what we’ll see next. At the end of the main narrative, Estella has inherited her father the Baron’s fortune, faked her own death and bequeathed the estate to her dear friend Cruella. She, Jasper…

Inside No. 9: the ‘Simon Says’ Scene That Almost Went Too Far

New DVD releasealmost, inside, scene, simon

Warning: contains spoilers for Inside No. 9 series 6 episode 2 ‘Simon Says’. From exsanguination to decapitation, Inside No. 9 episodes have never shied away from grisly murder, and so far, series six is no different. Opener ‘Wuthering Heist’ was a bloodbath, while follow-up ‘Simon Says’ gave us a total of four deaths – two faked and two real. One of the real ‘Simon Says’ deaths was made to feel all the more authentic for filming choices made by director Guillem Morales. After Simon (Reece Shearsmith), the scheming fan of a fantasy TV series, blackmails its writer Spencer (Steve Pemberton)…

The Art of Bringing a Shadow and Bone Scene to the Screen

New DVD releasebringing, scene, screen, shadow

This Shadow and Bone article contains major spoilers for Episodes 5 & 6. As the director behind Episode 5, “Show Me Who You Are,” and 6, “The Heart is An Arrow,” of Shadow and Bone, Mairzee Almas was behind the camera for some of the major turning points of Season 1. These episodes see Alina and General Kirigan’s romantic interlude, Baghra’s reveal that Aleksander is actually the Black Heretic, and the coming together of the Crows and Alina for the first time. It’s when the season really kicks into a higher gear. Den of Geek talked to Almas—whose work you…

Resident Evil Village Ending and Post-Credits Scene Explained

New DVD releasecredits, ending, explained, resident, scene, village

This article contains Resident Evil Village spoilers. While there’s been no shortage of Lady Dimitrescu memes in the months leading up to Resident Evil Village‘s release, it’s funny to think that all of the game’s trailers, previews, and demos barely told us anything about the sequel’s actual plot. We knew it would star Ethan Winters, we knew it involved a creepy village filled with retro horror threats, and we knew the internet was desperate for the attention of tall vampire ladies everywhere, but many of the most important questions about the game’s lore remained unanswered. Why does Chris appear to shoot…

Tenet Opening Opera Scene Explained

New DVD releaseexplained, opening, opera, scene, tenet

This article contains Tenet spoilers. You can read our spoiler-free review here. Christopher Nolan has a reputation for making complicated, hard to understand movies, but in all honesty, that reputation is unearned. In Memento, the scenes filmed in color are running in reverse order, the scenes filmed in black and white are running forwards, and the film ends when they meet in the middle. Inception is a pretty straight forward heist once you get your head round the idea that the dreams are nested inside each other like Russian dolls, each running a little faster than the one inside of…

The Falcon and The Winter Soldier End Credits Scene Explained: What it Means for the MCU

New DVD releasecredits, explained, falcon, means, scene, soldier, winter

This article contains The Falcon and the Winter Soldier episode 6 spoilers. The Falcon and The Winter Soldier is over and it ended with one doozy of a post-credits scene. Sharon Carter is back, and she’s apparently flipped on the United States.  At the end of The Falcon and The Winter Soldier episode 6, Sharon finally gets her pardon. Senator Government Official (no, seriously, he’s credited as “Government Official” in the credits), the unnamed, definitely not Senator Kelly guy who has been moving the plot forward all show, sits in an extremely insecure presumably Intelligence Committee hearing room and offers…

Can Shang-Chi Solve Marvel’s Fight Scene Problem?

New DVD releasefight, marvel, problem, scene, shang, solve

The first teaser for Marvel’s Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings features plenty of compelling moments. The two and a half minute clip has star Simu Liu getting impossibly ripped, Awkwafina driving a runaway bus Speed-style, and several big CGI action set pieces that we’ve come to expect from the MCU. The most exciting bits from this first look are a bit more elemental, however. Simply put, this teaser features plenty of human hands, balled into fists, striking objects in front of them hard. That’s right: it’s got punches galore.  The clip even opens with Shang-Chi punching a…

Does Zack Snyder’s Army of the Dead Trailer Tease a Zombie Sex Scene?

Netflix, New DVD releasescene, snyder, tease, trailer, zombie

The imminent arrival of Zack Snyder’s Army of the Dead will unleash an all-new film from the Justice League-restoring director, this one a return to the zombie wheelhouse that skyrocketed his career with 2004’s masterful Dawn of the Dead remake. While the upcoming film was always expected to manifest as a light-hearted madcap actioner—following a tactical team’s attempt to haul a fortune located within a zombie-overrun Las Vegas—the latest trailer spotlights the shocking intelligence of the film’s undead horde; intelligence that seems to include an organized hierarchy and, yes, zombie sex. Do we have your attention? “They’re not what you…

Animorphs: A Panel By Panel Comic Breakdown of Adapting a Scene From The Visitor

New DVD releaseadapting, animorphs, breakdown, comic, panel, scene

Reading the first Animorphs graphic novel was a delightful shock. Not only had one of the greatest sci-fi novels for kids finally returned in a new form but it was also extremely faithful to the original book. Every scene was lifted from the novel and almost all of the dialogue was kept intact. A few small changes were made to remove dated pop culture references or to better fit the visual medium but overall it’s easily one of the closest adaptations of any piece of media out there. So how is it done? Taking a whole novel and turning it…

Link Tank: The Harsh Realness of Falcon and Winter Soldier’s Bank Scene

New DVD releasefalcon, harsh, realness, scene, soldier, winter

Let’s talk about one of the harshest, realest moments in the first episode of Falcon and Winter Soldier: Sam and Sarah’s scene at the bank. “Sam’s trying to return to his family after giving up the shield (much to the delight of the U.S. government, who I will never forgive for that square-jawed VHS bootleg version of Captain America), while Bucky’s haunted by what he’s done as The Winter Soldier, working to make amends in the angstiest way possible. There’s a lot I can draw from in this first episode, but I wanna talk about the bank scene because of…

How a Batman 1989 Deleted Scene Cost Sean Young the Co-Starring Role

New DVD releasebatman, deleted, scene, starring, young

1989’s Batman is widely regarded as a time-tested, transformative entry for the comic book movie genre, and its $411.5 million worldwide gross ($872.8 million adjusted for inflation) certainly shook an unsuspecting film industry to its core. However, for actress Sean Young, who was initially set to co-star in the film as Vicki Vale opposite Michael Keaton’s Caped Crusader, it represents a point in which misfortune pulled her away from a prospective mainstream breakthrough. Not only did a pre-production accident force her off the film, but the scene for which she was preparing ended up getting cut from the movie! Director…

Zack Snyder’s Justice League Deathstroke Scene Sets up Lost Batman Solo Movie

New DVD releasebatman, deathstroke, justice, league, movie, scene, snyder

This article contains Zack Snyder’s Justice League spoilers. Joe Manganiello was supposed to make numerous appearances in the DCEU as Deathstroke, a noted villain, antihero, assassin, and all around badass. His appearance in the post-credits scene of the theatrical cut of Justice League was little more than a cameo, one which explicitly stated that Lex Luthor wanted Manganiello’s Slade Wilson to be the first of a team of villains that could match the Justice League. In other words, it was a setup for a Justice League 2 that would never arrive. But the version of that scene in Zack Snyder’s…

Coming 2 America: Why You Need to Stay for the Mid-Credits Scene

New DVD releaseamerica, coming, credits, scene

This article contains Coming 2 America spoilers. Coming 2 America came out in a very different era from the original 1988 movie. Clearly. In some ways that’s a good thing, with the belated comedy sequel gently critiquing the sexism in some of the earlier Eddie Murphy movie’s humor, such as the use of attractive female “bathers” in the fairy tale land of Zamunda—wherein they must “clean” their patriarchal princes and kings every morning. In Coming 2 America, the objectification goes both ways when Leslie Jones gets into the tub. That’s progress… I guess? And in other areas, Coming 2 America…

WandaVision Episode 8 Post Credits Scene Explained

New DVD releasecredits, episode, explained, scene, wandavision

This article contains WandaVision spoilers. The first six episodes of WandaVision were something of a Marvel Cinematic Universe rarity in that it was completely devoid of mid-credits or post-credits scenes. No teasers, no stingers, no jokes that didn’t fit in the regular story. But as the pace of WandaVision revelations picks up, so come the stingers. And while the post credits scene that accompanied last week’s episode was more of a tease than anything else, WandaVision episode 8 has a huge post-credits scene. SWORD and Director Hayward The scene opens with SWORD director Hayward hearing that his team is ready…

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…

Crime Scene: The Vanishing at the Cecil Hotel and the Danger of ‘Web Sleuths’

Netflix, New DVD releasececil, crime, danger, hotel, scene, sleuths, vanishing

The first thing I thought when I heard the title of the latest true crime documentary to arrive on Netflix, Crime Scene: The Vanishing at the Cecil Hotel was “please be the Elisa Lam case! Please be the Elisa Lam case!”. The second thing I thought was “My God, you utter monster, that was a young woman’s life”. It’s a conflict that most true crime fans juggle with constantly. We are fascinated by these cases but we know the importance of questioning our motives, of keeping the victims as people front and centre and of trying to remember that this…

Netflix documentary Crime Scene: The Vanishing at the Cecil Hotel explores the strange case of Elisa Lam, a 21-year-old Canadian woman who disappeared in January 2013 while she was staying at the Cecil Hotel in downtown LA. It’s a very famous case with many theories posited across the internet, which captured people’s imaginations after some very odd footage of Lam was released by the LAPD, hoping to find out what happened to her. More than two weeks after Elisa was last seen her body was discovered in a water tank on top of the hotel, after guests at the hotel…
