Zack Snyder made his name with his gruesome, much more action-y remake of George A. Romero’s Dawn of the Dead in 2004. The director then tried to line up an even bigger sequel called Army of the Dead for years, but there were many detours along the way, including his eventual role as the chief architect of the early DCEU. He finally returned to his long-lost zombie sequel in 2021, this time as the launching point of a whole new cinematic universe for Netflix, which also included a crime thriller prequel called Army of Thieves and even an animated series about the initial outbreak in Las Vegas ..read more

This article contains spoilers for Amazon’s Fallout TV series and the Fallout games. Amazon’s long-awaited adaption of the Fallout franchise is a smashing success that has reignited interest in the Fallout games. In general, it seems to be a great time to be a Fallout fan.

This Star Trek: Discovery article contains spoilers. Whatever the problems in its first two seasons, Star Trek: The Next Generation ended in perfect fashion. “All Good Things…” saw Captain Picard become unstuck in time, visiting the past, present, and future of his ship. “All Good Things…” allowed the show and fans to see just how far TNG had come over the years. It revisits the clunky inaugural season via Picard’s interactions in the past with Tasha Yar, whose death midway through season one only underscored the tumultuous first two years of the series. And by going into the future, checking ..read more

Over the past several days, a new viral story spread around social media when (thanks to a New York Post write-up), the juxtaposition of the terms “A.I.” and “girlfriend” became a chilling promise of things to come. That’s at least one way to interpret Late Checkout CEO Greg Isenberg’s prediction that the next growth industry for artificial intelligence is “dating.” In a social media post on X, which is the platform formerly known as Twitter, Isenberg recounted how he met a 24-year-old “single guy” who told him he spends $10,000 a month on “AI girlfriends.” The anonymous man even described his ..read more

Since its formation in 2019, All Elite Wrestling has put an emphasis on in-ring action, creating a much-needed alternative to WWE. Some would even say that there is too much emphasis on the wrestling itself and not enough flashy storytelling. But while the promotion is far from perfect, there are still many great arcs and rivalries that have come from Tony Khan smashing his action figures together. Here is a look at the best storylines in AEW’s short history, from alcoholic cowboys to angry dinosaur men.. 10. Jon Moxley Dismantles the Inner Circle As inaugural AEW World Champion, Chris Jerich ..read more

This Star Trek: Discovery article contains spoilers. In terms of individual episodes, Star Trek: Discovery does not hold any kind of Star Trek record for more time travel stories. But, it’s also the Trek series in which time travel is the most integral to the stories, characters, and themes. In season 1, Trek canon introduced “time crystals” and by season 2, the entire crew became unstuck in time forever. Now, in the fourth episode of its final season, Discovery is revisiting some of its timey-wimey themes, with a time loop-ish episode centered on Captain Burnham and our new favorite grouchy f ..read more

This article contains spoilers for the end of Bluey season 3. The longest Bluey episode ever premiered on Disney+ on April 14, leaving kids further enthralled with the Heeler family and parents reaching for their tissue boxes. “The Sign,” the season 3 finale of Bluey, was a whopping 28 minutes in length, more than triple the average seven-minute episode length for the animated series. But “The Sign” brought more than just an extra-long Bluey episode: In it, Uncle Rad and Frisky got married in the Heeler family’s backyard, Aunt Brandy debuted a possible baby bump, and Bandit wrestled with the d ..read more

The long-awaited trailer for Transformers One has finally been released and it… was not what anyone was expecting. Early details first confirmed in April 2020 revealed the film would be a fully animated prequel. Set on the home planet of the Transformers, Cybertron, the film takes place several years before the main story that’s been adapted so many times in both live action and animation, and focuses on the early relationship between Autobot leader Optimus Prime and Decepticon leader Megatron. The implication of that premise was that we’d finally receive key context as to the motivation behin ..read more

This article contains possible spoilers for Dune: Part Three and Dune Messiah. When Denis Villeneuve‘s Dune: Part One opened in 2021, it only took Warner Bros. six days to announce the sequel. However, when Dune: Part Two opened this past March 1—despite doing huge business and clearly paving the way for a third chapter—it took the studio over a month to confirm a film of Dune Messiah was in development. Why the delay? Well, lots of possible reasons, actually.  Even though Dune: Part Two is likely to soon cross the $700 million mark at the global box office, it was an expensive movie to m ..read more

This Star Trek: Discovery review contains spoilers. Star Trek: Discovery Season 5 Episode 4 Time travel has been a staple of science fiction ever since the genre was invented.
