Hence when we sat down with the director to discuss his new film The Northman for Den of Geek magazine, we were keen to ask if he and Taylor-Joy still communicate about the project, particularly since she appears again in Eggers’ upcoming Viking epic. “We definitely talk about it,” Eggers says, “and I don’t know why it’s been so hard to make happen.” The comment is markedly more enthusiastic than when we first discussed the project with Eggers a few years ago during the release of The Lighthouse, and he said that “I don’t know, maybe Nosferatu doesn’t need to be made again, even though I spent so much time on that?...

As we’ve always been curious about what Rodriguez’s exact thoughts were on that film’s ending, it was a good time to bring up the final moments where Clooney’s Seth Gecko get into a car, leaving the newly orphaned Kate (Juliette Lewis) to fend for herself. Seth’s headed to a town called El Rey with a crime boss played by Cheech Marin, and he wants to get there solo. Given El Rey—a name Rodriguez got out of Jim Thompson’s The Getaway novel from 1958—is what the filmmaker named his TV network after, we were curious of how he views the original Seth’s fate after leaving the bloodsuckers behind....

Of course, by the end of the movie, the team has reunited and put their differences besides them. Realizing that they work best as a team, the quintet learns how to share the glory. But in real life, the situation was far more fraught. In a recent interview with Esquire Magazine, Freddie Prinze Jr., who played team leader Fred alongside his wife Sarah Michelle Gellar as Daphne, revealed the drama behind the fictional Gang’s exploits....

Snowpiercer Season 3 Episode 4 In a world where extinction is a cracked window away, it’s only natural that the survivors on Snowpiercer spend a lot of time dealing with ghosts, but rarely is that more explicit than on “Bound by One Track.” Granted, the returning Melanie Cavill (Jennifer Connelly) isn’t a literal ghost, she’s just the manifestation of the fears and pains carried around by multiple characters in the episode....

Businesses need to know all about an application they are using and how it’s composed in order to decide whether it’s secure and compliant with the regulations. If you use an application with a compromised or vulnerable opens-source component, it is always at a risk of getting exploited by attackers. And when this happens, you may lose all the sensitive data of your business and customers stored in the application....

Back when WandaVision was airing and at the height of its zeitgeist-grabbing powers, we all became a little, uh…fixated on Marvel villain Mephisto. The extra-dimensional fire demon of nightmares seemed to be a great fit for the show’s ultimate big bad. Mephisto had pre-existing connections to Wanda Maximoff and Doctor Strange (who was originally intended to be a part of the show). Naturally the Internet at large began to ponder the many ways in which Mephisto could enter the series....

Spider-Man: No Way Home certainly had an issue with protecting its secrets before it was finally released last year. Behind the scenes images found their way online and were under immense scrutiny from excited visual detectives, and the highly anticipated trailer for the film first leaked on TikTok in a format that didn’t do the film any justice, spreading like wildfire to eager Marvel fans who had been waiting to see what was next for Peter Parker and friends in the MCU’s Phase 4....

Squid Game is one of the best original series to come to Netflix in a long time. The story of a deadly competition in which 456 people try to win ₩45.6billion ($39 million) in a series of life-or-death children’s games, the class parable is as devastating to watch as it is addicting and, should it do well, there’s a chance Netflix could greenlight another season of the Korean drama. While there has been no official word yet on if a second season will happen, given Netflix’s growing presence and investment in Korea, it’s a definite possibility—especially given the possible continuing story set-ups teased in Season 1....

Star Trek: Discovery Episode 8 If you want peace, prepare for war. That’s the translation of the Latin title of tonight’s Star Trek: Discovery. Perhaps a better title might have been: You can’t be neutral on a moving starship — something Saru learned the hard way in a riveting, thematically-complex episode that had these characters finally, you know, discovering something. “Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum” saw Burnham, Tyler, and Saru (#DreamTeam) on their very own away mission, exploring a planet called Pahvo (a half-Pandora, half-Fraggle Rock type planet) in hopes of using its natural vibrations to create a sonar capable of finding cloaked Klingon ships....

It’s Spock time! In “Unification III,” Star Trek: Discovery has continued a story that The Next Generation began in 1991. And, in doing so, the series has created an episode of Trek that is both nostalgic as hell and also forward-facing and new. Back before we even knew what Discovery would be like, we were told Michael Burnham was Spock’s adoptive sister. And now, Spock’s sister has come home! From TNG vibes to sweet nods to the reboot films, to a lot of references to Spock, here’s all the Easter eggs and shout-outs we caught in Star Trek: Discovery, Season 3, Episode 7, “Unification III....

Star Trek Discovery Season 4 Episode 11 After a couple of episodes where it felt like nothing much actually happened, Star Trek: Discovery bounces back with an hour that, though it somehow still manages to put off first contact with Unknown Species 10-C for another week, at least gets the ship and its crew back to its science mission roots in their attempt to learn more about the mysterious race. (Also, Saru and T’Rina are 100% going on a holodeck date!...

Star Trek: Prodigy Season 1 Return Date Premiere date: currently airing In October 2021, Paramount+ launched Star Trek: Prodigy, a CG-animated series developed in partnership with Nickelodeon Animation Studios that “follow[s] a motley crew of young aliens who must figure out how to work together while navigating a greater galaxy, in search of a better future.” It is currently in the source of the first half of its 10-episode Season 1A, with the finale airing on Thursday, February 3rd....

Star Trek: Lower Decks Episode 9 If you had to pick one Star Trek thing to represent the entire franchise and put that piece of media on a Golden Record, would you select an excellent Trek movie or a fantastic Trek episode? This division is at the heart of “Crisis Point,” a brazen episode of Lower Decks that brings a fresh perspective to the basic differences between Trek movies and Trek episodes....

The third episode of Lower Decks Season 2 has, in its title, an Easter egg to the TNG episode “We’ll Always Have Paris.” It is not anyone’s favorite episode of The Next Generation, but it’s possible that “We’ll Always Have Tom Paris,” will be your favorite episode of Lower Decks. Well, that depends on how much you love Star Trek: Voyager and not having complicated questions answered, ever. Genesis devices to Delta Quadrant madness, different kinds of Orions, and several Worf shout-outs, here’s every Easter egg and reference we caught in Lower Decks Season 2, Episode 3....

Given the fact that many Voyager characters have made their return in either the form of holograms or, in the case of Tom Paris, a commemorative plate on Lower Decks, it seems like the Doctor would be an ideal character to show up on a modern Trek series. After all, the Doctor doesn’t die or age (a point used to great effect on several Voyager eps) and even if actor Robert Picardo is visibly older than the last time he played the role, producers managed to work around Brent Spiner’s aging for his return as Data....

Back in the Ewok village on Endor, Luke asks Leia if she has any memory of her mother in hopes of learning something about his own. “Just a little bit. She died when I was very young,” Leia says, but what exactly does she remember? “Just images really, feelings. She was very beautiful, kind, but sad.” It’s then that Luke reveals the truth about their family. After an initial moment of shock, Leia replies that she’s somehow always known that Luke was her brother (we assume through their Force connection)....

Stargirl Episode 6 Throughout Stargirl season 2, there’s been a looming puppet master in the darkness. Working through the mysterious Black Diamond wielded by Cindy Burman (Meg DeLacy), Eclipso has been helping the teen put together a new iteration of the Injustice Society of America. But in a shocking–or not so shocking–twist this week, Eclipso finally revealed his hand. The nefarious demonic creature had been playing Cindy all along. His aim was to use Stargirl’s staff to free himself, meaning he could live outside of possessing Cindy Burman....

The identity of Vecna is one of the most closely guarded secrets of Stranger Things season 4, but the big reveal in the midseason finale is less about the name behind the creature and more about the origin story of Eleven and the opening of the Upside Down, a central mystery of the show. Although many gaps will have to be filled in with speculation, let’s take a closer look at exactly what we know and don’t know about this season’s “big bad....

Yet, the very first game that Miyamoto ever designed exclusively for the NES/Famicom console has never been ported to the U.S. In fact, it’s the only game that Miyamoto designed that has never been ported to North America to this day. Anyone familiar with Miyamoto’s history and significance is typically stunned by that information. Sure, Nintendo hasn’t always been the best when it comes to making their classic games readily available, but after all these years, how is it possible that Miyamoto’s first console game has never been ported to North America?...

After officially introducing the concept of The Green, Swamp Thing takes another step forward in building its mythology, which happens to align closely with the comics, by introducing The Rot, aka The Black. Moreover, Alec Holland’s powers continue to grow. This is all a good thing since Marais is tearing itself apart. I applaud this series for not holding back with Swamp Thing’s abilities. I can see a version of the show where things are painfully reserved, but not only is our hero using hallucinogenic spores to appear human, he’s growing fruit, summoning plants from the other side of the world, and even using the flora in Abby’s body to combat The Rot infection....
