Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings: What the Post Credits Scenes Mean for the MCU’s Future

New DVD release, , , , ,
The following article contains spoilers for Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. With Black Widow set largely in the past, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is technically the feature film kickoff to Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. With the exception of the end credits scenes, it’s the first Phase 4 feature set in the aftermath of the Thanos Snap or Blip, and it introduces a set of characters and a region of the MCU that we have not yet explored. But like every Marvel movie, Shang-Chi also includes two scenes at the end…

How Jujutsu Kaisen’s Female-Centric Fight Scenes Push Shonen Forward

New DVD release, , , , , ,
For many anime fans, Jujutsu Kaisen shone as the highlight of the Fall 2020/Winter 2021 season. There are many possible reasons for this hype: The series delivered more sought-after supernatural action on the heels of 2019’s breakout hit Demon Slayer. Its darker approach both set Jujutsu Kaisen apart from its predecessor and offered a cathartic escape during a global pandemic. Studio MAPPA adapted Gege Akutami’s original manga with memorable visuals and smooth animation. After all, who can forget the first time Gojo tangled with Sukuna or used his mind-bending domain expansion technique? But what’s most striking about Jujutsu Kaisen are…

The Dark Knight Trilogy: Horrifying Scenes That Still Make Us Cringe

New DVD release, , , , ,
Later this month, Zack Snyder’s Justice League is hitting HBO Max. Despite the anticipation and a near-guaranteed positive reception from the vocal #ReleaseTheSnyderCut fan contingent, this will likely be Snyder’s last foray in the DC Universe. Indeed, one of the studio’s chief complaints with Snyder’s vision, which they believe impacted box office receipts, was his darker tone when compared with the quippier MCU. However, Snyder’s approach only mirrored many of DC’s most popular storylines, from Frank Miller’s violent The Dark Knight Returns to the on-screen The Dark Knight Trilogy from director Christopher Nolan. Snyder can hardly be blamed for expanding on what audiences…

WandaVision Episode 9: Post-Credits Scenes Explained

New DVD release, , , ,
This article contains WandaVision spoilers. After nine episodes, WandaVision has wrapped up with a tremendous series finale episode. Agatha Harkness and Tyler Hayward’s plans have been foiled. Vision has ceased to exist in one sense, while a version of him continues to exist in another sense. Westview is freed, all except for one doomed citizen. Wanda Maximoff, the Scarlet Witch, has moved on to find out what she truly is. Then, as we’re tipped off by the lack of Disney+ asking us if we want to watch Avengers: Age of Ultron next, we get two different post-credits scenes. Each one…

Superman & Lois: Behind the Scenes of The New DC TV Show

New DVD release, ,
When you think of Superman, what’s the first thing that comes to mind? Is it the cape? The tights? The ability to “leap tall buildings in a single bound?” Whatever Superman’s most recognizable trait, it’s probably the way the character makes you feel that stays with you. The premise that someone so powerful would choose to use that power solely for good is an optimistic one. Despite being one of the most powerful figures in the DC Universe, it’s Superman’s capacity to inspire hope that is his defining characteristic.  “Part of why I find the character of Superman appealing as…

The Power Rangers Turbo Deleted Scenes That Could Have Saved the Movie

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie is, at best, a glorified TV movie. Made when Power Rangers’ popularity was in slow decline after the zenith of the Mighty Morphin days, the film makes no pretense that it’s trying to be any kind of cultural event like the first film attempted to be. Instead, it only half-heartedly tries to bring in a new audience with the addition of kid Ranger Justin and struggles to please hardcore Power Rangers fans. The story –new villain Divatox makes her way to a mystical island to marry an ancient evil and the Rangers have to stop…

Star Trek: Bryan Fuller on the Snobbery Behind the Scenes

New DVD release, , , ,
Like many aspiring screenwriters in the 1990s, Hannibal creator Bryan Fuller eventually became aware of Star Trek’s remarkable open submission policy and pursued an opportunity to write for the popular franchise, but after seeing the way things played out in the writer’s rooms on both of Trek’s beloved series at the time, Deep Space Nine and Voyager, things didn’t go quite the way he’d hoped. “I got wind of the open submission policy at Star Trek, which was to encourage writers to bring in ideas because it was syndicated and nothing had to connect, so there were a lot of…

Star Trek: Picard — Ranking Season 1’s Deleted Scenes

New DVD release, , , ,
This Star Trek: Picard article contains some spoilers for Season 1. As Star Trek: Lower Decks finally debuts internationally on Amazon Prime, Star Trek: Picard Season 1 arrives on DVD and Blu-ray for the first time in the U.K. Although the Blu-ray snuck in a U.S. release back in October, it’s safe to say that Trekkies may have been pretty distracted by world-events (and Discovery Season 3!) at the time, and may not have delved-into all the extra Picard goodies! So, if you’re a U.S. reader and you missed the news about the Picard deleted scenes the first time around,…

New DVD release, , , , ,
Bridgerton on Netflix is one of the streaming giant’s most watched series of all time. Check out some behind-the-scene facts about it. “Though it only premiered on Christmas Day 2020, Bridgerton is already proving to be one of Netflix’s most popular series of all time.

WandaVision: Behind the Scenes Of Marvel’s First Sitcom With Kathryn Hahn

New DVD release, , , , , ,
After a year away due to the pandemic, Marvel Studios is finally kicking off Phase 4 of its ongoing, expanding Marvel Cinematic Universe with…a sitcom. WandaVision, which premieres Friday (Jan. 15) on Disney+, stars Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany as the supernaturally powerful Wanda Maximoff and the equally enhanced synthezoid Vision, with the newly married couple navigating life in suburban Westview, a black and white setting right out of classic half-hour comedies like The Dick van Dyke Show or Bewitched, complete with live audience. But since Vision was killed by Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War and Wanda was not just…

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

New DVD release, , , , , ,
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…

The Behind the Scenes Casting Drama That Reshaped Forgetting Sarah Marshall

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Judd Apatow-produced rom-com Forgetting Sarah Marshall is beloved by many, and managed to create so many incredible comedy moments with a cast who seemed happy to take a leap of faith with writer and star Jason Segel in that particular stage of their careers. Along with Segel, director Nicholas Stoller cast Kristen Bell, Mila Kunis, Bill Hader, Jonah Hill, Paul Rudd, Jason Bateman and more in the tale of a jilted boyfriend who is struggling to get over his famous ex, but Segel had written the special part of insufferable rock star Aldous Snow for his close friend Charlie Hunnam,…

Link Tank: The Scariest Star Wars Scenes to Revisit

New DVD release, ,
Star Wars is by no means a horror franchise, but that doesn’t stop it from having some absolutely terrifying scenes. “Fear may be a path to the Dark Side but it’s not something most people associate with Star Wars. When you think Star Wars you think sweeping sci-fi adventure or maybe even laid back Western swagger. You rarely think of nail-biting dread or shocking jump scares. They’re in there though and this Halloween, we’ve gone ahead and picked our favorite scary scenes in Star Wars, in chronological order.” Read more at Gizmodo. Are you a Stephen King fan with $30,000…

New DVD release, , , ,
Warning: contains spoilers for Inside No. 9 ‘The Harrowing’ “It was ‘WTF!? Oh my God! I’m not going to sleep! Why did you do that to me?!’” The moment the credits rolled on Inside No. 9’s series one finale ‘The Harrowing’, director David Kerr was deluged with messages. “People were very responsive,” he laughs. “We’d gone for something bold that was properly horrible and would haunt them. There’s not much out there that scares a horror fan because they’ve seen it all so many times. That’s the challenge. You want to hit people with a visceral, palpable gut punch that they…

Darkman’s Behind-the-Scenes Struggles with Universal Revealed by Filmmakers

New DVD release, , , , , ,
A groundbreaking entry in the superhero cinema genre, 1990’s Darkman is celebrating its 30th anniversary. While the dark horse hit of a film served as a mainstream breakthrough for Evil Dead horror maestro Sam Raimi and a key headlining gig for star Liam Neeson, it was also the culmination of much behind-the-scenes friction between studio Universal and the filmmakers, who, on this occasion, shed some intriguing light on the experience. Members of the cast and crew of Darkman participated in an oral history interview with THR commemorating the film’s big 3-0; a conversation that proved revelatory regarding a fateful act…
