Star Wars The Mandalorian Episode 2 Easter Eggs Explained

“The Child” continues the Mandalorian’s adventure on Arvala-7 after the first episode’s stunning cliffhanger. Retrieving “the asset” isn’t as easy as shooting down a few thugs and taking a long walk through the desert, though. Nothing is ever that easy in Star Wars. Instead, Mando has to deal with a few…unforeseen obstacles on his return journey. Along the way, we’re treated to a few easter eggs and references to the larger Star Wars universe that you don’t want to miss!...

Station Eleven Ending Explained The Circle Never Breaks

“I’ve been adrift in the strangest galaxy for a long time. But I’m safe now. I found it again. My home.” – Dr. Eleven It’s not an original observation that many, if not most, good stories are about stories themselves. After all, they say “write about what you know” and what does a storyteller know if not the power of story? Even with that in mind, however, HBO Max’s Station Eleven is really about stories....

Stranger Things Was Almost A Found Footage Horror Movie

Describing the origins of the show to Variety, the Duffers said the first inklings for the show came from a movie idea about the Montauk Project, a purported government program involving children with ESP and a monster. “We love conspiracy theories,” admitted Matt, and the project “was something we hadn’t seen on screen before.” With that concept in their pocket, the Duffers began pitching to studios. “But this was at a time when, you know, Paranormal Activity was really big,” Matt explained....

Supergirl Kara And Lena Finally Reunite

Supergirl Season 6 Episode 13 Supergirl thankfully gives the totem quest some structure (seven total, in a specific order) and rules (they must be activated before use and a person has to pass a test in order to control them) and gives the audience the quick and dirty exposition, courtesy of Brainy.

Sxsw Film Festival Reveals The Lost City Nic Cage And Fx S Atlanta As Headliners

Previously, SXSW already announced the intriguing Everything Everywhere All at Once will be the opening night film. That A24 release looks to combine the recently popular sci-fi concept of “multiverse theory” with martial arts genre tropes as it follows Michelle Yeoh into parallel dimension madness. Now with the full line-up, we also know the Sandra Bullock, Channing Tatum, and Daniel Radcliffe-starring The Lost City will also be making its world premiere at SXSW, as will the meta comedy The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, which stars Nicolas Cage as a version of himself who’s been kidnapped by his greatest fan, and a world renowned crime lord, played by Pedro Pascal....

Terry Silver S Return Brings A Manipulative Villain To Cobra Kai Season 4

Thomas Ian Griffith is returning as Terry Silver, the villain he played in an entertainingly over-the-top manner in the 1989 threequel, as Netflix and the actor himself confirmed upon the release of the Cobra Kai Season 4 teaser trailer. Yet, like the show’s past movie character reunions, Silver’s return is, paradoxically, an expected surprise, since it’s the culmination of series-spanning hints such as a crucial name-drop back in Season 1, and was quite obviously set up in a cliffhanger scene at the end of Season 3....

The 100 Season 4 Episode 10 Review Die All Die Merrily

The 100 Season 4 Episode 10 If you didn’t watch the previews, this very Hunger Games episode started off with two quick surprise contenders in the Conclave to up the ante, and it didn’t let up from there, giving us perhaps the best fight scenes of the season so far. The Blake siblings warm up Octavia and Bellamy had some tense moments, but I take her willingness to say, “May we meet again,” as a good sign....

The 100 Season 6 Episode 6 This episode brings us not one but two mind palaces and it’s good to see Raven, Echo, and Emori back in play, even if Emori didn’t get enough to do. The 100 may kill a lot of people off, but there always seem to be plenty more of them, usually dispersed geographically until the end of the season, making it tough for non-Clarkes to get decent screen time....

The American Horror Story Double Feature Finale Is Wild Even For Ryan Murphy

American Horror Story Season 10 Episode 10 It took the full four episodes, but American Horror Story has finally tied its two story threads together using the most unlikely character. Of course, it wouldn’t be American Horror Story without a last-minute twist that may or may not make sense, and Death Valley continues that tradition with a jam-packed finale episode that doesn’t necessarily tie up the plot, but definitely doesn’t lack for big, crazy ideas....

The Beatles Get Back Will Show Uncensored Swearing On Disney

“We’ve had to have a discussion with Disney about the swearing,” Jackson told Radio Times. The six-hour documentary follows the band writing and rehearsing 14 new songs on a tight deadline. They were planning their first live show in over two years. Things get said. As John Lennon paraphrased this period of the band’s intensity in Anthology, “it’s because you got the tambourine wrong that my life’s a misery.” The documentary doesn’t censor the long-time friends....

The Boys Season 3 Homelander To Become Homicidal Maniac

When we last saw Homelander, he wasn’t in a good place. At the end of The Boys Season 2, we parted ways with him angrily wanking over the city after his Nazi girlfriend Stormfront got her limbs lasered off by his own son. Little Ryan then chose to embrace the thorn in his side, Billy Butcher, over him. As the narcissistic leader of The Seven loudly repeated the phrase “I can do whatever I want!...

The Boys Season 3 Yes That One Scene Was Inspired By The Ant Man Meme

When The Boys’ showrunner Eric Kripke stopped by the Den of Geek studios at this year’s SXSW festival, he had a bold proclamation to make about the show’s third season. “The very first 15 minutes of episode 1 is by far the craziest thing we’ve ever done…like, by a mile.” Naturally, when we had a chance to speak with Kripke again the week of season 3’s premiere on Prime Video, we decided to remind him of that statement, to which he responded “Did I oversell it?...

A lot can go wrong between ‘The US army has planned a raid’ and a happy ending – maybe save dancing to The Cure and hugging grocery clerks until your girl’s out of Gilead....

The Last Of Us Multiplayer Promo Art Seems To Confirm A Firefly Fan Theory

You can see a snippet of the artwork in question in the image above, but here’s the full thing in case you need a better look. So far, the biggest reveal we can logically draw from that image is that the upcoming multiplayer game will seemingly take place in San Francisco. At the very least, that certainly appears to be the Golden Gate Bridge in the background, and a few other, smaller landmarks seem to match the layout, design, and style of San Francisco....

The Little Things Ending Explained

It’s the piece of the puzzle Rami Malek’s Jim Baxter has been waiting for. The young—and now entirely ruined—LAPD police detective can stop wondering about the night before—the night his shovel cracked the skull of Albert Sparma (Jared Leto). At the time of the murder, there was no clear cut evidence Sparma was the serial killer that law enforcement was hunting—or that Sparma even committed a crime beyond being a full-on creep....
