Star Trek Canon Wants Justice For Tasha Yar

New DVD release, , ,
This Star Trek article contains minor spoilers for Lower Decks Season 2, Episode 6. Tasha Yar deserved better. When the oil slick creature known as Armus killed off Tasha in The Next Generation episode “Skin of Evil,” the fandom let out a collective groan. As its first season wrapped up, TNG was already down one fantastic character and the franchise wouldn’t get another female head-of-security on a regular basis until Nhan appeared in Star Trek: Discovery, 31 years later. But, like some kind of self-aware rogue A.I., the canon of Star Trek itself seems to want justice for Tasha Yar.…

Netflix Wants Its Own Korean Variety Show Hit

New DVD release, , ,
It’s no secret that Netflix is going to continue to invest heavily in the Korean entertainment industry, with the hope of not only expanding its presence in the East Asian country, but also growing its reach in other countries where K-culture is a hot commodity (which, yes, includes the United States). One look no further than the teaser Netflix just dropped for its upcoming “Global Fan Event” TUDUM (a phonetic spelling of its distinctive intro sound that accompanies its logo), which mostly features stars from around the world awkwardly trying to figure out not only how to say “TUDUM.” In…

How Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City Wants to Get This Franchise Right

New DVD release, , , , ,
Before Resident Evil became a best-selling video game franchise, it was a passion project with a simple purpose: to scare the hell out of a generation of unsuspecting gamers. While 2002’s Resident Evil movie shared the 1996 game’s name, it emphasized sci-fi storytelling and action over scares. That movie—and the five sequels that followed—became box office hits, but ultimately divided video game fans who wondered if those movies really got the fabled franchise “right.” For Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City director Johannes Roberts, the chance to reboot this franchise is less about correcting past mistakes than making the most…

What We Do in the Shadows Season 3: Harvey Guillén Wants Buffy to Train Guillermo

New DVD release, , , , , ,
This article contains spoilers for What We Do in the Shadows season 3 episode 3. Things have changed for the Staten Island vampires on What We Do in the Shadows season 3 as they step into positions of power. This may not make much of a difference for Colin Robinson (Mark Proksch), whose new job as secretary of the Vampiric Council, is much like his fake job, at a cubicle in an office. But Laszlo (Matt Berry) may spend a little more in the potting shed. His love Nadja (Natasia Demetriou), is running the council, along with Nandor (Kayvan Novak),…

Elijah Wood Wants in the MCU But Who Would He Play?

New DVD release, ,
Elijah Wood knows a thing or two about big movie franchises. The actor has enjoyed a lengthy, illustrious career but will likely forever be known for portraying lead hobbit Frodo Baggins in Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings trilogy.  So, as you might imagine, when Wood stopped by Entertainment Tonight to discuss his latest film, Ted Bundy story No Man of God, the saga of Middle-Earth came up. What’s more interesting, however, is that Wood was also up for discussing other big franchises he is interested in, including Star Wars, in which he has already provided his voice to the…

James Gunn Wants You to See The Suicide Squad in Theaters

New DVD release, , , ,
It’s fair to say the industry is still reeling from last year’s announcement that Warner Bros. Pictures’ entire 2021 film slate would debut simultaneously in theaters and on HBO Max in a new “hybrid” release model. It meant many of this year’s biggest Hollywood releases, from Lin Manuel-Miranda’s In the Heights to James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad, could be watched from the comfort of fans’ own homes. At the time, there were anonymous sources cited by THR which said Gunn, among other filmmakers, was “not pleased” with this sudden pivot by WarnerMedia. However, in the months since that bombshell, multiple…

Margot Robbie Wants Poison Ivy to Join Harley Quinn in the DCEU

New DVD release, , , , ,
Some things just go together: Peanut butter and jelly. Song and dance. Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy. That last classic combo has been long established in DC Comics canon. While casual fans may think of Harley Quinn and Joker as the ultimate duo, any dedicated consumer of pop culture knows that Harley’s true love is actually Pamela Isley, aka Poison Ivy. The two have often been an item—either platonic, romantic, or something in-between—in the comic book universe, but have also seen some seriously romantic storytelling in HBO Max’s Harley Quinn animated TV show. One Harley-centric story in which the green…

Better Call Saul: Bob Odenkirk Wants a Happy Ending for Jimmy McGill

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Vince Gilligan’s Albuquerque in Better Call Saul and Breaking Bad is a dangerous place. High school chemistry teachers make meth. International drug lords run local chicken restaurants. And even the lawyers can’t be trusted. The lawyers for goodness’ sake! One occupant of the Albuquerque-verse, however, is determined to end off better than he arrived. In a new interview with Collider, Better Call Saul star Bob Odenkirk teased a bit of the show’s sixth and final season, and shared his hopes for the character he’s played for nine seasons of television now.  Of Jimmy McGill, Saul Goodman, Gene Takovic, or whatever…

Fate: The Winx Saga Review (Spoiler-Free) – Tween Fairy Tale Wants to be Gen Z Potter

New DVD release, , , , ,
This Fate: The Winx Saga is based on all six episodes and contains no spoilers. Fate: The Winx Saga, the newest YA fantasy effort from Netflix, is the live-action remake of an animated series that takes the story and pitches it at an older age group. There’s a magic school surrounded by gorgeous landscapes (courtesy of filming locations in Ireland), a group of students trying to uncover a conspiracy protected by the teachers, and more than a couple of secrets about the origins of our main character. If that sounds familiar, that’s because it is. The 6-episode series borrows liberally…

David Duchovny is Down for More X-Files if Chris Carter Wants

New DVD release, , , , ,
As you may recall, The X-Files was sneakily stowed away into Fox’s proverbial classified government facility, put away indefinitely after the 2018 revival season concluded controversially. While this fate was essentially sealed by the subsequent exit of co-star Gillian Anderson, the other half of the franchise’s iconic duo, David Duchovny, is making it clear that he’d return to the series. Plans for another season of the series have yet to manifest, but Danish X-Files podcaster Sammensværgelsen recently got an interview answer from Duchovny that was intriguingly multilayered after asking the inevitable question about a possible return as Agent Fox Mulder…

Robert Downey Jr. Wants to Build a Sherlock Holmes Universe Like the MCU

New DVD release, , , , , ,
You don’t come out of working in the Marvel Cinematic Universe for a decade without high aspirations and some good ideas—nor without the resources and star power to potentially make them happen. This is the case for Robert Downey Jr. who, after helping Marvel to launch the MCU and working as a key part of the ever-growing franchise for almost 10 years, wants to use what he’s learned to grow another franchise: Sherlock Holmes. “At this point, we really feel that there is not a mystery-verse built out anywhere, and Conan Doyle is the definitive voice in that arena, I…

Outriders Impressions: People Can Fly’s Co-op Shooter Wants the Loot Shooter Crown

New DVD release, , , , ,
You have to admire the sheer tenacity of People Can Fly. After developing one of the most underrated first-person shooters ever in 2011’s Bulletstorm, the Polish studio was quickly snapped up by Epic Games to help ship a small indie title called Fortnite. You may have heard of it. However, Outriders is the developer’s opportunity to once again shine on its own. The team’s latest is a co-op shooter that takes heavy inspiration from The Division, Destiny, and Mass Effect while adding its own flourishes to the sci-fi shooter formula. During an online virtual demo earlier this month, I got…

Antlers: Guillermo del Toro Wants the Wendigo to Look Like ‘A God’

New DVD release, , ,
Antlers will mark filmmaker Scott Cooper’s first foray into the horror genre. That’s a benefit as far as producer Guillermo del Toro is concerned. Having gotten into producing films in order to “learn from [other] filmmakers,” del Toro wanted to see what Cooper’s idea of a monster movie might look like. And considering it ended up being about a wendigo—a mythological creature and/or evil spirit from folklore of the First Nations Algonquian tribes—it’ll certainly be something different. “The film looks at the horror of being an individual in America today and all the crises that we are facing, quite frankly,”…

Kipo Creator Wants To Make “100 Films” In The Kipo Universe

New DVD release, , ,
Kipo and the Age of the Wonderbeasts is a glorious animated series that, if you somehow aren’t watching, you need to stop what you’re doing and inject it directly into your eyeballs. It’s one of the most fun, inventive, and inclusive series out there for kids and adults (with a killer soundtrack as well!) There’s only two seasons so far but Rad Sechrist, the creator of the series, already has ideas for further adventures that go beyond the scope of the main series’ story. He’s shared a few on Twitter and we asked him to elaborate on these ideas and…

New DVD release, , , , ,
Don’t worry, Westworld fans. You’re not the only ones frustrated with Maeve’s direction in seasons 2 and 3 of the show. You are joined by none other than Maeve herself.  In a lengthy and quite excellent interview with Vulture, Maeve actress Thandie Newton briefly touched upon her role in Westworld’s two most recent seasons and why she experienced some reservation about the character’s path.  “I do have frustrations with Maeve, but that’s part of her story line,” Newton said. “Season one, the evolution of this robot who then has the revelation that she’s not human, and that she had a…

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Ever heard the story of the canary in the coal mine? Well, who knew that bird sounded like Russell Crowe screaming out of the side of his driver’s seat? For that’s exactly what you’ll hear when Crowe’s new thriller Unhinged becomes the first movie to open in wide theatrical release since the weekend of March 13. Indeed, Solstice Studios broke the news (via Deadline) Tuesday that they’re moving Unhinged, a movie about road rage gone primal, from its intended September release window to the Fourth of July weekend. Suddenly a relatively small scale indie in which Crowe pulls a Duel…
