Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts has finished its three season run… and we want more. While 30 episodes was a solid amount of time to tell its stories we can’t help but wish we had more time in Kipo’s world. We want to see more of the characters, more of the various Mutes, more of everything! Below we’ve listed just some of the movies, sequels, or even prequels we’d love to see made....
Maybe yours is the kind of mind that’s never worried about why in the 1986 film Labyrinth, Goblin King Jareth – ostensibly a human man, albeit one who can turn into an owl – rules a species with which he shares zero physical characteristics. If so, then go in peace, friend, and enjoy life. You likely already are. If, however, yours is the sort of mind that regularly lets you leave home in slippers because it’s busy wondering how they get the horses to the Olympics, then step this way....
Legends of Tomorrow Season 7 Episode 12 It never occurred to me before today to check and see if DC’s Legends of Tomorrow had been renewed for an eighth season. I just took it for granted that a show that was so consistently perfect would of course be coming back for another year. But after “Too Legit to Quit,” I’m really starting to wonder. This episode felt like a series finale....
Legends of Tomorrow Season 6 Episode 6 So far, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow season 6 has been almost nothing but shtick. We’ve had the ‘50s horror movie episode, the ‘70s punk episode, the political thriller, the reality game show episode, and last week’s Disney princess episode. “Bishop’s Gambit” is the first episode of the season to not obviously be doing a bit, and by a weird coincidence, it also does maybe the best homage yet, while also doing exceptionally well by the characters and the season’s overarching plot....
The creator of Dead Pixels – a comedy series about Meg and Nicky, two gamers utterly devoted to fictional fantasy MMORPG Kingdom Scrolls – explains how online games have been stealthily shaping us for the real world through nine simple life lessons. Lesson 1: Submit to the rules Games basically train you to be a good functioning member of capitalist society, a good employee. You have to submit yourself to a rigid set of rules, learn what you’re not allowed to do and get on board with that, or you’re not going to get anywhere....
“The Critics Choice Association (CCA) announced today the nominees for the 2nd Annual Critics Choice Super Awards, honoring the most popular, fan-obsessed genres across both television and movies, including Superhero, Science Fiction/Fantasy, Horror, and Action. Winners will be revealed on Thursday, March 17.” Read more here Is Star Wars slowly turning into Marvel? Recent tropes and crossover between talent would suggest so. Read more at Inverse Sure, Sonic and Knuckles are voiced by big-name movie stars, but it’s nice to see voice actress Colleen O’Shaughnessey get a shoutout on the latest character poster for Tails from Sonic the Hedgehog 2....
Original Buzz Lightyear voice actor Tim Allen finally speaks up about his recasting in the latest Pixar film but doesn’t really add anything relevant to the conversation. “It’s been a long battle to explain why Chris Evans is voicing Buzz Lightyear in the new Toy Story spinoff Lightyear and not the longtime voice of the character, Tim Allen, and it seems as if the war rages on. After not talking about it publicly, Allen has ‘broken his silence’ in a new interview with Extra, where he talks about his Buzz and ignores the facts about the people behind Lightyear....
“As Khan Noonien Singh once said, ‘revenge is a dish best served cold,’ and cinema is filled with stories where vengeance and retribution get served with chilling brutality and precision. There is a natural impulse to see one’s enemies, or even just the people who wronged us, punished for their misdeeds, or have karma visited upon them.” Read more at Mental Floss. WandaVision‘s use of the sitcom formula is perfect for the story the Marvel series wanted to tell....
“Marvel is sending its most eccentric franchise back into intergalactic battle with the releases of next year’s Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special and 2023’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. The latter project could be the last time all the Guardians appear on-screen together, with some characters rumored not to make it out of the threequel alive. One of the film’s stars doesn’t think fans should be surprised by that....
“Project Hail Mary, the third book by Andy Weir, finds the author going back to what made him famous in the first place. Weir rose to fame with The Martian, a book (and eventually a movie) about a man stranded on Mars who uses complicated, compelling science to get himself home. While Weir’s second book, Artemis, deviated from that formula, his latest harkens back to The Martian’s formula, just with bigger stakes and one major addition....
“No one expected a sequel to 2005’s The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl, but We Can Be Heroes proves it was a good idea. Robert Rodriguez’s new film creatively expands the world first established in the original movie and upgrades the action sequences and special effects.” Read more at Inverse.

“Rewind 1921” is the second in as many episodes of Lovecraft Country that draws directly from a real historical event. In it, Tic, Leti, and Montrose travel to the past to retrieve the Book of Names from the last place it was known to be, in the hands of Tic’s family in Tulsa, Oklahoma in 1921.They arrive in Greenwood, overlooking Black Wall Street, the night of the Tulsa Race Massacre (also known as the Tulsa Race Riot, the Greenwood Massacre, the Black Wall Street Massacre, the Tulsa pogrom, or the Tulsa Massacre)....
Lovecraft Country Episode 9 Last week on Lovecraft Country, Diana outran Topsy and Bopsy, then stood her ground to fight them off. But Montrose restrained her, which allowed the evil piccaninnies to slash her arm, leaving her in a coma. Now Dee’s arm is dead and in time, so too will she be. Tic, Montrose, Leti, and Ruby all failed to protect her, and now they have to do whatever they can to save her life....
You can play it at home more easily than the others. It’s sociable, pretty easy to pick up, relies less on button-mashing than Super Smash Bros. and doesn’t make anyone picture a statue of Luke Goss made out of instant mashed potato. It’s been around since 1992, but unlike Push Pops, it’s been a constant in our lives. Even if, like me, your major achievement was that one time you managed second at Moo Moo Meadows because your wife drove into a cow, Mario Kart has been a regular feature of Christmases, post-pub all-nighters, and sleepovers for most of our lives....
2.16 Afterlife Things we always wanted to see in Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D.: fights involving superhuman folk, Coulson quipping, links to the MCU, double-crossing and other cool spy stuff. Things we got in Afterlife: all of the above. Unlike HuffleSHIELD introductory outing Love In The Time Of HYDRA, this week handled its designation as a filler-type episode remarkably well, flitting between interesting character exchanges and action packed moments to make a cohesive enough whole that, when the DVD box-set binging days are upon us, will stand up well next to the more important episodes....
Loki episode 4 is, well…we’re just gonna say it…the best episode of the series so far, by far. It rivals even the best chapters of WandaVision in its ambition, scope, and general batshittery. And a good chunk of that comes in the final moments, as well as what comes after. That’s right, folks. Loki episode 4 engages in that proudest of MCU traditions: a post-credits scene. Let’s try and make sense of all this, shall we?...
Well, there are numerous ways that your choice of class will ultimately impact your playthrough, but the good news is that there aren’t really any “bad” classes in Mass Effect. The best class is still the one that you want to play the most, and because you have the ability to change your class at the start of each game, you’re not necessarily committed to making what you might eventually view as the “wrong” decision....
When it comes to throwing in Easter eggs to get people talking, there’s nothing easier for a superhero movie or show than quickly revealing a list of names. Whether it’s a list of mutant filenames on a computer screen in X-Men 2 or Bucky Barnes’ list of people to get closure from in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, it’s an easy way to throw out some references or even hint at future appearances....
He’s not kidding. In the last five years, Flanagan has directed, written or co-written and edited five feature films (Hush, Before I Wake, Ouija: Origins of Evil, Gerald’s Game and Doctor Sleep) as well as directing, co-writing and executive-producing three Netflix series (The Haunting of Hill House, The Haunting of Bly Manor and Midnight Mass) with producer Trevor Macy. Oh, and they’ve already wrapped filming on Netflix series number four, The Midnight Club, and at the time of writing, are currently prepping to fly back to Vancouver to start filming on Netflix series number five....
(Trivia note: Lee Cronin was also the pseudonym of late Star Trek: The Original Series writer/producer Gene L. Coon, who penned some of the show’s most inadvertently campy episodes, like “Spock’s Brain” and “Spectre of the Gun,” under that name. This is not the same guy.) Cronin made his feature debut in 2019 with The Hole in the Ground, an intense, highly atmospheric tale about a young single mother named Sarah (Seana Kerslake) who moves with son Chris (James Quinn Markey) out of the city and into a remote old house in the Irish countryside....
