The article has been updated to reflect new developments. The superhero film Shazam! took the box office by storm this time last year. You would think we’ve had enough with all of the onscreen adaptations of our beloved comic book characters bombarding us again and again—show, after the film, after show. Well… we still want more (Shazam 2 to be precise!). Shazam! The sleeper hit stood on its own at a time when Marvel almost had a monopoly of all the superhero movies and with good reason. Who wouldn’t fall in love with a humorous turn of one of the comic book…

No other villain in the universe—Marvel’s Cinematic Universe that is—needed the combined forces of an entire roster of superheroes to defeat him. In Avengers: Infinity War (2018), Doctor Strange saw more than 14 million scenarios play out. And yet, the Avengers were only able to defeat him in just one. Yes, Thanos is that powerful. When he had the Infinity Stones, a single snap from him can do so much! Everyone wants to hate him (and everyone does). At the same time, it’s hard not to bow down to how incredibly great he is as a character. Let’s do that right now. We…

You know a cartoon will be useful when its creator is responsible for the absolute longest-running animated series of all time. Netflix wanted in on the Matt Groening action.

Who is Elliot Alderson? When Mr. Robot was first released in June of 2015, the world was introduced to an erratic hacking genius whose technological exploits we watched oh-so keenly from the comfort of our homes. There’s no denying it: everyone was hooked on his story from the very start. Over the course of four seasons, as we saw him work for the eccentric Mr. Robot, we all thought we got to know him a little better than when we first met him. Who could have predicted what Season 4 had in store for us? Mr. Robot Season 4: What…
Cop shows are a dime-in-a-dozen on cable TV, but very few of them have as lasting an impact as the now-iconic CBS drama Blue Bloods. The show has been on the air for ten whole years! That is definitely no ordinary feat. CBS Blue Bloods Cast Tom Selleck top-bills this story of an Irish-American family in the city of New York as Frank. Together with Donnie Wahlberg, Bridget Moynahan, and Will Estes, who play his children Danny, Erin, and Jamie, they form an otherwise typical family whose lives are irretrievably intertwined with the field of law enforcement. They are crime…
Decoding Us (2019) and the Ending that Left Everyone Thinking What the hell just happened? That is the reaction truly well-crafted horror flicks seek to elicit from their viewers. I guess it’s true what they say—good horror films will shock you, but great horror films will boggle your mind. Perhaps one of the best films that the horror genre has given birth to in the previous years is the 2019 thriller Us. Penned and brought to life by the same genius behind 2018’s Get Out, what else was there really to expect from a film featuring a riveting performance by the award-winning phenomenon that is Lupita Nyong’o?…
What We Know About the Hunger Games Prequel [SPOILER ALERT!] The Hunger Games was a worldwide phenomenon. The books themselves sold more than 65 million copies internationally. Over the course of a few years, it spawned four movies and made bonafide superstars out of Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, and Liam Hemsworth. It has been five years since the last installment of the franchise was released in theaters. You would think that we’re done with Katniss Everdeen and the world of Panem. Well, think again. Last year, it was announced that the woman behind the young adult dystopian hit was working…
Who would have thought that we would be so blessed to see all of the Fuller House characters we loved, but a whole 15 years after we thought we said goodbye forever? Through the power of Netflix, that is what happened when Fuller House flashed into our screens in 2016. The spin-off of the beloved series has since seen four full seasons of more than a dozen episodes each, and it was as though there was no sign of it slowing down.
