New DVD releasecredits, explained, scene, woman, wonder

This article contains Wonder Woman 1984 spoilers. We have a spoiler free review here. There’s a lot going on throughout Wonder Woman 1984‘s (very long) runtime. At one point in the film we learn the origin of Diana’s Golden Eagle armor, and that it once belonged to a legendary Amazon warrior named Asteria, who stayed behind to fight the armies of men so that her sisters could escape to Themyscira. Diana mentions that she has tried to find Asteria since she arrived in “our” world, but so far hasn’t had any luck. It’s presumed that Asteria is lost to history.…

Fargo Season 4 Finale Post-Credits Scene Explained

New DVD releasecredits, explained, fargo, finale, scene, season

This Fargo article contains spoilers for the season 4 finale. Fargo season 4’s finale, “Storia Americana,” wraps up an uneven season of FX’s crime series about as effectively as one could have hoped. The hour is thematically consistent, if a little short (which may have had something to do with the final two episodes’ abbreviated COVID-19 production schedule). In true Fargo fashion, the season ends with plenty of our main characters dead. Josto Fadda (Jason Schwartzman) is killed for not properly realizing the power of his own family (and for a simple misunderstanding with killer nurse Oraetta Mayflower), while Loy…

Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales Post-Credits Scene Explained

New DVD releasecredits, explained, marvel, miles, morales, scene, spider

This Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales article contains spoilers. Insomniac’s Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales tells an epic but personal story over the course of its approximately 15-hour campaign, which ends in explosive fashion, with Miles bidding farewell to his tragically misguided best friend Phin Mason/The Tinkerer high above Roxxon Plaza when she gives her life to set right all the reckless things she did in her revenge crusade against the evil tech corporation.  It’s a great game in and of itself, but it’s also a part of the larger Spidey-verse that Insomniac is building with its Marvel games, with references to…

New DVD releasebeyond, credits, episode, explained, scene, walking, world

This The Walking Dead: World Beyond feature contains spoilers. To understand what happens after the credits roll on The Walking Dead: World Beyond episode 4, one needs to look a little further back in The Walking Dead history. The final sequence of Rick Grimes’ last Walking Dead episode “What Comes After” features an anguished Jadis (Pollyanna McIntosh) on a walkie-talkie, communicating with a mysterious helicopter. “I have a B,” she announces. “Not an A, I never had an A.” The “B” she has is a delirious, impaled Rick Grimes, making his final appearance on The Walking Dead as a lead…

Forbidden Zone Cult Classic to Digitally Change Blackface Scene

New DVD releaseblackface, change, classic, digitally, forbidden, scene

Forty years after the release of his cult film Forbidden Zone, director Richard Elfman is going back into the edit bay to fix an uncomfortable problem. “My 1980 cult film Forbidden Zone is getting a tweak,” Elfman says during our sitdown. “It had a few seconds of blackface that I regretted since its first screening.” Indeed, the director issued a statement previously denouncing the offensive image two years ago through Dread Central. Now he is finally able to rectify it for future generations, without changing the subversive intent of the film as a whole. “FX friends are presently helping me…

Game of Thrones: George R.R. Martin Names His ‘Least Favorite Scene in the Entire Show’

New DVD releasefavorite, george, least, martin, names, scene, thrones

A dozen dogs, minimum. At least thirty men wearing puffy tunics and women in massive croissant-shaped hats. Boars, deer, bears, spears and carcasses everywhere you look. Any 15th century tapestry will tell you that in ye olden days, a royal hunting expedition involved more fuss and hoopla than your average Glastonbury. So why, when King Robert Baratheon, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms, Protector of the Realm goes hunting in Game of Thrones’ first season, does he pitch up with only his little brother, a single guard, a spear apiece, and a boy to carry the wine bladder? That’s the complaint…

Marvel’s Avengers Post Credit Scene Explained

New DVD releaseavengers, credit, explained, marvel, scene

This Marvel’s Avengers article contains spoilers. Post-credits scenes are a staple of the MCU, so it’s only natural that Marvel’s Avengers caps off it’s campaign with a teaser of its own. Following the Avengers’ epic battle with MODOK, his Adaptoid army, and his awakened Kree Sentry over the San Francisco Bay, Kamala goes home to Abu, who allows her to continue Avenging in between her schoolwork—roll credits.  Midway through the credits we’re shown Monica Rappaccini, the newly elected Scientist Supreme at AIM (a position she also holds in the comics) holding a meeting in which she lays out her plans…

The Umbrella Academy Season 2 Opening Scene Debuts

Netflix, New DVD releaseacademy, debuts, opening, scene, season, umbrella

The Umbrella Academy season 2 is about to come back with a bang…a big, big, big, big bang.  Netflix has released a first look at The Umbrella Academy’s second season in advance of its July 31 premiere. And it isn’t just any old clip, this is the second season’s opening act. Keep that in mind as you watch the unexpectedly climactic three minutes below.  If Netflix doesn’t make viewership data public then it sure doesn’t make show budgets public either. It’s fair to assume, however,  that Netflix originals that perform well in their first season are bound to receive some…

Justice League Snyder Cut Scene Reveals Black Suit Superman

New DVD releaseblack, justice, league, reveals, scene, snyder, superman

The rise in anticipation for Zack Snyder’s Justice League, generally known as “The Snyder Cut” continues. One of the many questions surrounding the theatrically released version of film in the was why Superman’s journey from “rose from the dead on the wrong side of the crypt” to “actually this is pretty much the Superman we’ve wanted on screen for the last 30 years” seemed a little abbreviated. After all, in the comics, when Superman died at the spikey hands of Doomsday, he didn’t return to primary colored and caped glory right away. Instead, he spent a little time in a black and…

We’ve waited a long time for The New Mutants. You know it, we know it, and you can be sure the filmmakers know it too. And yet, the funny thing about The New Mutants Comic-Con@Home panel is that the thwarted anticipation everyone feels is being turned into an asset. “People talk about this being a cursed film because it’s taking forever,” said Bill Sienkiewicz, the New Mutants comic book artist whose work greatly inspired the film, and who was present for part of the panel. “But in some respects, I think the lockdown has just amped up the level of…

Jaws: Why the USS Indianapolis Speech is Steven Spielberg’s Favorite Scene

New DVD releasefavorite, indianapolis, scene, speech, spielberg, steven

Steven Spielberg always appears a little wary when the subject of Jaws comes up. While the blockbuster maestro frequently enjoys chatting about past triumphs, the mere mention of his career-making success seems to transport him back to those endless days floating in the waters off Martha’s Vineyard, waiting for a mechanical shark to work, actors to stop squabbling, and maybe some type of spiritual deliverance. “I was more courageous or I was more stupid,” the director once said about that time in his life. “And I think of both of those things existing underwater.” For that reason, when he’s asked…

How the Alien Chestburster Scene Baffled Stanley Kubrick

New DVD releasealien, baffled, chestburster, kubrick, scene, stanley

The iconic chestburster moment in Alien, where we got our first look at a baby Xenomorph as it violently emerged from John Hurt’s thrashing torso, has managed to stand the test of time. It’s a scene that was intricately constructed by director Ridley Scott and his crew, and Scott had long planned to get a real reaction of shock and disgust from his cast on the day it was filmed in just a single take. To say it worked is an understatement, and Scott has revealed that even visionary filmmaker Stanley Kubrick wanted to know the secrets of the practical…

This article contains spoilers for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and Firefly Alan Tudyk is a busy, busy man. Just in the last couple of years he’s been the voice of Oliver Queen in Young Justice, The Joker in Harley Quinn and Dangerboat in The Tick, as well as appearing in front of the camera as Mr. Nobody in Doom Patrol and Gary in Santa Clarita Diet, but for many geeks, he’ll always be fondly remembered as Firefly‘s trustworthy pilot Wash, whose death in the series’ movie conclusion, Serenity, still stands as one of the most upsetting on-screen demises…

Warning: This article contains MAJOR spoilers for Avengers: Endgame. You know, if you somehow still haven’t seen it. One of the more controversial scenes in Avengers: Endgame is Black Widow‘s death, which sees Natasha beating Clint to the cliff on Vormir to sacrifice herself in a successful effort to attain the Soul Stone for the team. While some criticized the death of one of the team’s few women (and the only female member of the original Avengers squad), others found it one of the most moving moments in the entire, emotional film. In a recent interview with EW promoting the…

Max SchindlerMovie reviewshitchcock, scene, shower

The screeching strings, the plunging knife, the slow zoom out from a lifeless eyeball: in 1960, Alfred Hitchcock?s Psycho changed film history forever with its taboo-shattering shower scene. With 78 camera set-ups and 52 edits over the course of 3 minutes, Psycho redefined screen violence, set the stage for decades of slasher films to come, and introduced a new element of danger to the moviegoing experience. Aided by a roster of filmmakers, critics, and fans?including Guillermo del Toro, Bret Easton Ellis, Jamie Lee Curtis, Eli Roth, and Peter Bogdanovich?director Alexandre O. Philippe pulls back the curtain on the making and…
