“Star Samuel L. Jackson has revealed on Instagram that Marvel’s Secret Invasion TV show has officially begun production. Via social media, Jackson published a photo of himself wearing a shirt featuring Nick Fury turning into dust. This event took place after Thanos got all six Infinity Stones and killed half the universe’s sentient life with a single snap of his Infinity Gauntlet.” Read more at Collider The latest trailer for Hawkeye features Kate Bishop gushing over trick arrows and tons of holiday-time shenanigans....

“Every now and then a series comes along that feels like the entire Internet is watching it at the same time. Such is the case with Squid Game, a Korean thriller that premiered on Netflix on September 17th. According to NBC News, the hashtag for the series has been viewed 22.8 billion times on TikTok and is well on the way to becoming Netflix’s biggest non-English language show in the world....

“The heart of the summer usually isn’t the most exciting window in the game release schedule, but if you’re looking for some cool games to pour hours into while escaping the heat, July has some new releases that you can really savor over the long haul. From role-playing adventures like The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD and Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin to engrossing simulations like F1 2021 and Microsoft Flight Simulator, there might be something here to tickle your fancy....

“Since the original Halo released in 2001, Microsoft has been trying for a long time to get Bungie and 343 Industries’ sci-fi shooter into live-action beyond excellent commercials and web series tie-ins. After several aborted attempts at making a movie, Halo is now finally a TV show for Paramount+ (with some speed bumps along the way) that winds back the clock to the days when Master Chief’s life and the Human/Covenant War was much simpler....

“Though it starts with a seemingly simple sci-fi premise, Save Yourselves is actually so much more. This is a film that’s funny and surprising but also smart, layered, and subtly thought-provoking. It doesn’t clobber you over the head with any single message; instead, you’re presented with many different viewpoints, any of which can be processed however you choose. The story is cute and clever but having something to think about afterward makes it even better....

Anyone familiar with Lost Ark‘s other Martial Artist classes will probably be vaguely familiar with Glaiviers’ basic design. They’re essentially elaborate brawlers who rely on their speed and some sneaky abilities to punish both PvE and PvP opponents. What separates the Glaivier from most other Lost Ark classes is their somewhat complicated resource management system built around a stance-swapping mechanic that can be tricky to master. So, if you’re interested in trying to learn the Glaivier class but know where to start, here’s a brief look at what you need to know about building the best Glaivier character possible....

Marvel has already had a big year on the small screen through their Disney+ offerings WandaVision and The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, but on the heels of the latter’s finale comes a strange, quirky show to Hulu. Marvel’s M.O.D.O.K. takes the humor of Deadpool, the weirdness of WandaVision, and a small dash of the animation style from Wallace & Gromit to create something…even stranger than it sounds. This adult animated series comes in part from the brains behind Robot Chicken, which does a lot to explain how those three things can be mashed together–to varying degrees of success....

We’re a third of the way through WandaVision and a lot of the show has been establishing the setting via era-spanning sitcom stories while occasionally taking a break to show cracks in the façade. Something is definitely wrong in Westview, but while we can see the errors like comparing two pages in Highlights, we don’t have the full picture yet. There are many theories out there already. Some completely outlandish, others far less so....

Bo Burnham’s Netflix comedy special Inside is just under two months old now and yet it already seems to be a disturbingly prescient bit of art about the internet era. Consider, for a moment, the line: “The backlash to the backlash to the thing that’s just begun.” Netflix’s Masters of the Universe continuation, Revelation, was just released on July 23. And yet…the backlash to the backlash to the thing that’s just begun has already arrived....

Written by Richard O’Brien, and produced and directed by Jim Sharman, the original London production of The Rocky Horror Show premiered at The Theater Upstairs in the Royal Court Theatre on June 19, 1973. O’Brien originally saw himself in the role of Eddie, but Sharman wanted him to play the usurping alien butler Riff-Raff. During the stage productions, Eddie and Dr. Scott were played by the same actor. Paddy O’Hagan originated the characters....

With its sixth episode in the can, Moon Knight finishes its first (and perhaps only) season. The ending is abrupt and a bit surreal, but it does bring closure to the threat of Ammit and Arthur Harrow. Usually, these Disney+ Marvel shows end with cliffhangers to build up the Marvel Cinematic Universe itself, but Moon Knight sticks to itself and builds towards what’s next. From beyond the afterlife and beyond the constraints of the mind, Moon Knight has saved the day....

It’s strange to be a Moon Knight fan watching Marvel’s Moon Knight. At several points throughout this series, there have been moments where I wished I wasn’t already aware of the potential twists and turns ahead. I went into this knowing that Marc Spector had DID, that he was the avatar of Khonshu, that he was at least partially responsible for the death of Abdullah El-Faouly, that he could wake up in a psychiatric hospital and have to come to terms with what “reality” really means, and that he would likely be hiding a much murkier third identity inside him: Jake Lockley....

John Krasinski, James Charles and Addison Rae have also received nominations this year, as have Will Smith and Jack Black. Disney and Netflix will almost certainly be fighting it out again to snag the top brand award. MrBeast aka Jimmy Donaldson is also up for a Social Good award for his Feeding America Food Drive. The popular streamer dropped out of college to pursue a full-time career as a YouTuber, and has become one of the most-watched creators on the planet, dabbling in a winning combo of expensive stunts and philanthropy....

My Hero Academia Season 6 Episode 12 “We will spin together the threads of Hope.” There are so many characters in My Hero Academia that it’s understandable that certain heroes and villains operate more as visual gags or one-note jokes rather than serious threats. However, it’s always fascinating when characters who are superfluously designed end up evolving into important individuals, like Pro Hero Best Jeanist. This denim-clad defender of justice has been an anomaly throughout My Hero Academia’s run, but he’s continued to show audiences that he’s not someone to underestimate....

The streaming giant has acquired the global rights (sans China,) to Springer’s The Enola Holmes Mysteries novels from Legendary Entertainment. The film, which adapts the first book, The Case of the Missing Marquess (2006), has already been shot, but is—like everything else—without a post-production timeframe due to the pandemic. Brown stars as the titular character, the tenaciously precocious 16-year-old sister of famed Holmes siblings Sherlock and Mycroft. She will be joined by an array of impressive co-stars, most notably another superstar of the Netflix stable, The Witcher’s Henry Cavill, who will play Sherlock, joined by The Hunger Games’ Sam Claflin as Mycroft....

After finishing the show in 24 hours, I wish I could sit here and write about how compelling it is and how well it portrays that point in teenage life where you’re impulsive, awkward, and nervous as you try to figure out relationships and find yourself. However, while the town of Wellsbury is picture-perfect, Ginny & Georgia is not as it is undermined by a significant race problem, primarily how it deals with its biracial lead....

Hence in the time since Den of Geek carved out its own little corner of the internet—which is 15 years and counting—the idea of an “Oscar movie” has changed and changed again. When this site began, the Academy was still dominated by the prestige arthouse projects that were often made in Harvey Weinstein’s own image following Saving Private Ryan’s loss to Shakespeare in Love in 1999. It’s arguably the reason that an elevated crowdpleaser like The Dark Knight wasn’t even nominated in 2009....

Outlander fans are still in shock over episode 6’s cliffhanger. Malva was first introduced at the beginning of the season as a new resident of the Ridge who admired Claire’s medical skills. Behind her admiration was a darker side of blackmail, betraying Claire’s trust, and stalking. She falsely claimed Jamie was the father of her unborn child. At the end of episode 6, Claire found her dead outside the big house....

Overwatch 2‘s launch hasn’t exactly gone according to plan, but the competitive team shooter has proven to be shockingly popular so far. Of course, that sudden surge in popularity means that Overwatch players everywhere are suddenly finding themselves wondering which Overwatch character is right for them. Even veteran Overwatch fans are still figuring out which of the game’s heroes are really the “best.” Not only were some legacy Overwatch characters drastically reworked for the sequel, but Overwatch’s 2‘s new 5 vs....

A video game released in a broken state? Must be a day ending in “Y.” Overwatch 2 is the latest in a long line of titles that received a ton of hype before launch but were crippled by technical issues upon release. The latest issue plaguing the title prevents players from using their favorite characters and leaves them wondering if Blizzard has decided to push the game’s free-to-play mechanics just a bit too far....
