Whether you’ve completed all six episodes of the Netflix series or are looking for some mid-season guidance following the end of Episode 3, here’s what you need to know…...
Filming on the second run had largely concluded by the end of 2019 (when it comes to child actors, you can’t afford to hang around for them to grow six inches and sprout a beard between seasons). And despite the extraordinarily heavy VFX burden on a show about talking creatures, flying witches and magical lands, production company Bad Wolf managed to pull it off. Season two has arrived right on time, and largely intact....
“I had a very powerful Hollywood insider say that the success of the Fast and Furious franchise had a bigger effect on movie casts getting diversified than ‘all the social media complaints combined,’” Simone wrote. “This happened. If he was being hyperbolic I don’t know. But even if it’s just a commonly held belief at the top levels, it’s interesting to consider. It punches [holes] in the beliefs of both conservative and liberal commentators....
House of the Dragon has already proven itself to be a worthy successor to Game of Thrones. The HBO prequel series is full of gripping drama, bloody deaths, and messy characters that we sometimes love to hate and hate to love. Unlike Game of Thrones, however, the first season of House of the Dragon features many time jumps in order to set up what is likely to become the primary conflict for the series: the Dance of the Dragons....
After “The Green Council” saw the Hightowers usurp the Iron Throne by crowning Aegon II (Tom Glynn-Carney) as king, House of the Dragon fans have been eagerly awaiting the season finale.

The rainy and foggy world of Blade Runner is about to get a little clearer. With the new anime series Blade Runner: Black Lotus, several pieces of narrative connective tissue link the anachronistic world of “2019” with the future we saw in the film Blade Runner: 2049. While Black Lotus on Adult Swim is very much intent on telling its own story, and focusing on specific Replicants and Blade Runners unique to this series, it’s also doing some impressive heavy lifting in the world-building department....
The director and visual effects designer, who passed away on February 8 at the age of 79, had a hand in creating the screenscapes for some of the most influential genre films of all time, including 2001: A Space Odyssey, Close Encounters of the Third Kind and Blade Runner. He pioneered techniques that allowed those films and many others to visualize the vastness of space, the magnificence of alien spacecraft and the eeriness of dystopian futures with a sense of scale and realism that elevated sci-fi cinema beyond its reputation as a dumping ground for hoary, cheap-looking B-movies once and for all....
Even before that, celebrity technocrats like Steve Jobs openly spoke against Flash. With the demise of flash and rise of HTML5 a new era has been ushered in that features better looking and better functioning websites that are compatible with mobiles and PCs alike. Transferring data and receiving it has also become much more straightforward than before. However, it presents its unique challenges that need to be won.

Thankfully there’s a small silver lining. The show isn’t quite over yet. There are still a few episodes left to air and hopefully they’ll provide some closure to DuckTales’ many long running story arcs. But how many episodes are there and when will they air? Well the statement from Disney about DuckTales’ cancellation does hold some clues. It says that DuckTales will run for 75 episodes. So far only 65 episodes have aired which at first glance makes it seem like we’d be getting ten more....
Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio), Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka), and Sensei Kreese (Martin Kove) aren’t the only carry overs from the original three Karate Kid films.

Some of the original characters, like Lucille LaRusso (Randee Heller), Daniel’s mom, have appeared throughout Cobra Kai....

Perhaps you’ve heard, but Apple TV+ series Ted Lasso was the subject of some dreaded Discourse recently. Since the Internet is infinite and we privileged few in the media have nothing but time, a handful of features came out weeks ago essentially questioning what Ted Lasso season 2 was even all about. Many of these features were well-written, well-argued, and fair, but when filtered through Twitter’s anti-nuance machine (i.e. Twitter itself), every feature boiled down to the same reductive take: Ted Lasso season 2 doesn’t have a conflict....
Written by Paul Attanasio and directed by Mike Newell, Donnie Brasco is based on the true story co-written by Pistone. Brasco’s cover at the start of his infiltration was as a Florida jewel thief. He was a fugazi, a fake wise guy just like the diamond he turns down when asked to fence. But he was a good one. As detailed in the movie, the undercover agent fools career soldier and hitman Benjamin “Lefty Guns” Ruggiero, played by Al Pacino....

The suddenness of it all is a real treat for viewers as they’re taken aback and given the opportunity to discover a terrifying new post-apocalyptic reality right alongside Rick....
