The Secrets of Marvel’s Eternals

New DVD release, ,
This article contains Eternals spoilers. It’s not hard, when a Captain America or an Iron Man movie hits, for Marvel to have a comic on shelves that new fans can be pointed toward as an accessible way to get to know the characters. The same can’t be said for The Eternals. In a lot of ways, Jack Kirby’s most bizarre creations – god-like beings, created by the all-powerful Celestials to do battle with the deformed, wild Deviants – have endured despite their relative scarcity. The sum total of what can be reasonably called Eternals stories only runs to about 50…

Why The Secrets of Skinwalker Ranch Don’t Stay on Skinwalker Ranch

New DVD release, ,
History’s The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch features ongoing investigations into one of the country’s most mysterious locales. The titular ranch allegedly experiences paranormal activity regularly from UFOs and cattle mutilations to incarnate voices and poltergeists…and sometimes several at the same time. Strange occurrences on the ranch have been the focus of several scientific investigations, including from a secretive program housed in the Pentagon. What is not as well known is that some investigators claim the paranormal phenomena follow them home. Brandon Fugal, the elusive owner of Skinwalker Ranch, spoke with Den of Geek about how what happens at Skinwalker Ranch…

Falcon and the Winter Soldier and How Marvel Keeps Its Secrets

New DVD release, , , , ,
The Marvel Cinematic Universe and its fans may all be one big, happy, extended family — according to the exciting new sizzle reel that Marvel Studios released to the world on May 3 — but that doesn’t mean that, like every family, they don’t have their secrets as well. We’re not talking about the secrets that Marvel keeps from us, the public, and the press; we know that Marvel head honcho Kevin Feige is the master of the thrilling-yet-utterly-devoid-of-information non-answer, and holds weekly classes instructing his minions in that very same and very rare dark art (and we do truly…

MST3K: Joel Hodgson Reveals the Secrets of the Gizmoplex, Teases “the Next Manos”

New DVD release, , , , , ,
A few years ago, Mystery Science Theater 3000 made its grand return. Through an incredibly successful Kickstarter, they raised enough money and showed proof of enough fan interest to get the show back with a new season. Netflix acted as the home to the eleventh season with fourteen episodes and much fun was had by all. The Return also led to a series of live tours that kept going until COVID kicked in and they also did a Dark Horse comic spinoff. Unfortunately, Netflix wasn’t so enthusiastic in the aftermath. The twelfth season only contained six episodes, emphasizing the challenge…

The Suicide Squad: John Cena and the Secrets of Peacemaker

New DVD release, , ,
John Cena is everywhere. He’s a seasoned television host, currently co-hosting TBS’ absurdly fun Wipeout, a #1 New York Times bestselling author with two new books on shelves, and one of the most in-demand, silver screen actors appearing in comedies, family films, and unsurprisingly, action movies alike. For someone whose catchphrase is “You can’t see me!” we sure have been seeing a lot of Cena. Over Cena’s 18 years in the WWE, the charismatic sports entertainer has collected 16 World Titles and served as the face of the company and moralistic brand ambassador. Cena reigned at the top of the…

Like you, we can’t get enough of Lady Alcina Dimitrescu: the extremely tall vampire lady who will apparently serve as one of Resident Evil Village‘s primary antagonists. While there’s no shortage of unanswered questions surrounding Lady Dimitrescu, one of the most fascinating aspects of the character is one of the few things we actually do know about her.

Cobra Kai Season 3 Clip: Chozen Teases Miyagi Secrets to Daniel

Netflix, New DVD release, , , , , ,
Cobra Kai Season 3’s arrival is nigh, mercifully ending the twenty long, eventually pandemic-permeated months that passed since Season 2; a hiatus recently made slightly shorter by new platform Netflix, which moved up the premiere to New Year’s Day. However, that hasn’t stopped the streamer’s influx of more exciting preview material, namely new footage that sheds light on a potentially explosive narrative teased in one of the previous clips, focused on a potentially sinister secret that the late Mr. Miyagi hid from Daniel. We’ve known for some time now that Cobra Kai’s third season will delve into the sequel side…

His Dark Materials: Secrets of Cittàgazze and the Meaning of Pan’s Different Forms

New DVD release, , , , ,
The terrible problem of creating sets for film and television, says His Dark Materials production designer Joel Collins, is that the very best work is invisible. “When you build a world that isn’t real but looks real, everyone thinks you didn’t do anything! You must have just stayed at home or popped along to Oxford and dialled it in.” “Or you just went to Italy,” laughs Framestore VFX Supervisor Russell Dodgson, whose team are responsible for, among many other computer-generated elements, His Dark Materials’ daemons. To make Cittàgazze, one of season two’s big new locations, the team didn’t just go…

Werner Herzog On Unlocking the Secrets of the Universe…from Earth

New DVD release, , , , ,
There may be nothing more pleasing than watching a room full of scientists erupt in glee as the probe they spent hurtling into space years prior finally touches down on a moving object in the farthest reaches of space. The information and material that the probe will send back can hopefully answer questions of the universe we’ve been trying to ask since the beginning of our existence. Since before humans even walked the earth, however, the dark blanket of the sky has been depositing meteors to our world that hold important answers of the unknown. The new Apple TV+ documentary…

Inside Pixar’s Soul and the Secrets of Life Before Death

New DVD release, , , ,
In 2015 Pixar and director Pete Docter brought us Inside Out, a brilliant, moving exploration of how our emotions affect our relationships as we grow older. The Oscar-winning film’s script (by Docter, Meg LeFauve, and Josh Cooley) was heavily inspired by the filmmakers’ research into neuropsychology and the mysteries of how the human mind works. Now five years later, Docter and a new team have gone in a completely different direction–the metaphysical–with Soul. Den of Geek was given a chance to view the first 20 minutes of the film and speak afterward with Docter, co-writer Kemp Powers, and producer Dana…

Hidden Secrets in Disney’s Original 1998 Mulan

New DVD release, , , ,
It’s been over 20 years since the original Mulan movie hit our screens and now Disney is blessing us with a remake of the princess-with-a-twist tale. Forget sparkly slippers and a true love’s kiss, Mulan leads her army to victory in her fight for freedom. The phenomena that became Mulan was originally set to be a short based on an oppressed woman who finds love with a soldier who sweeps her off her feet, but doesn’t find independence. But Disney didn’t want to work on that. The Mulan we all know and love wouldn’t be anything if she wasn’t the…

Sherlock 10th Anniversary: Behind the Scenes Set Secrets

New DVD release, , , ,
Two chairs. A fireplace. 17 steps leading up from the ground floor. On the mantelpiece, letters pierced by a knife, cigars hidden in a coal scuttle and tobacco concealed inside the toe of a Persian slipper… Sir Arthur Conan Doyle provided a few compass points from which set designers on screen adaptations of his Sherlock Holmes stories could work when creating their 221B Baker Street. The rest takes imagination, artistry, a storyteller’s eye and , in the case of BBC One’s Sherlock, the odd bit of mischief. To celebrate the 10th anniversary of Sherlock’s arrival on the BBC, production designer…

In the closing minutes of The Secrets She Keeps’ penultimate episode, child-abductor Agatha made a run for it with stolen baby Benjamin. 12 days earlier, in a premeditated kidnapping,  she’d taken Baby Ben from hospital hours after he was born and – after wearing a fake pregnancy prosthetic for months, pretended that she had given birth to him.

DC FanDome to Reveal DCEU, Arrowverse, and More DC Universe Secrets

New DVD release, , , ,
The comics world is still disappointed at the necessary cancellation of an entire year of conventions due to the ongoing Coronavirus outbreak in the United States. While more than half the fun of the comic con experience was being part of the joyful, sweaty mass of people wandering the floor and feeding off of each other’s excitement, a good chunk of that feeling was the hype of new movies, panels with beloved creators, and the flood of breaking news hurtling out of them. DC Entertainment is trying to capture some of that magic on August 22 with DC FanDome. Announced…

The World is Full of Secrets

Max SchindlerMovie reviews,
What's the scariest story you know? An elderly woman-seemingly addressing us from the future-looks back on a harrowing night in the 1990s when she and a group of teenage girlfriends gathered for a sleepover to swap spooky tales and dabble in some occult mischief. But what begins as seemingly harmless adolescent fun is only a prelude to a horror that remains tantalizingly unseen and unspoken. Unfolding in a trancelike haze of dreamy dissolves, spectral double exposures, and audacious long takes, this visually sublime fusion of avant-garde aesthetics and classic old-dark-house atmospherics bristles with the hushed, candlelit air of a séance.Rated:…
