But then again, there’s never been a character quite like Grogu before. Since making his debut in The Mandalorian, the mysterious green child (whose alleged love of chicken nuggets instantly became the stuff of Internet legend) has captured the imagination of fans across the globe. As one can imagine, he’s also become a merchandising bonanza. Enter Funko. The purveyor of POP!s teamed up with Lucasfilm for this year’s Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade — the event’s 95th — to create a Grogu balloon that is styled like one of the company’s trademark balloons....

This is the concept Kevin Smith turned into the first draft of Clerks III, and the one he presented to an audience with a live-reading of the script at the First Avenue Playhouse in Atlantic Highlands, NJ in 2019—the same place where Smith did auditions for the original Clerks movie nearly 30 years earlier. However, by the time of that Clerks III’s live-reading, Smith already knew it wouldn’t be the version of the story to finally make it to the big screen....

Legends of Tomorrow Season 6 Episode 7 Legends of Tomorrow has always been the weirdest member of The CW’s Arrowverse line-up, a largely fearless series that’s unafraid to engage in downright bizarre and occasionally wacky storytelling even as it explores deeper and more difficult emotional truths. After all, few shows are brave enough to sideline one of their leading characters when they don’t have to –Supergirl’s decision to leave Kara Zor-El in the Phantom Zone for half its final season is a glaring example of the many ways such a move can go wrong even with the best of intentions – but Legends just goes for it, stranding team captain Sara Lance on an alien spaceship hundreds of light years away from her friends even as it uses her absence to explore larger truths about both who she is and who she’s becoming....

Each of these shows is devoted to either furthering the legacy of particular Avengers, or fleshing out and exploring specific corners of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But there’s one corner of the MCU that has remained unexplored, and it’s the one that started it all: Iron Man. Yes, Tony Stark is taking ye olde dirt nap, and Robert Downey, Jr. is unlikely to have much time or interest to reprise his role as anything other than the occasional recording or AI version of his consciousness....

“I really don’t think I’ve considered this show and the fact that people will actually watch it,” Li says, with a laugh, when I talk to her ahead of Shadow and Bone‘s April 23rd global release. “So much of what I’ve done hasn’t come out yet. So I guess the way I’ve been working is just having fun. Then I sort of just follow that, just get really immersed in it....

Brothers Matt and Ross Duffer started a nostalgia trend when they created Stranger Things in 2016, and their fellow producer and director Shawn Levy has brought their vision to life with a family appeal befitting his filmography, which includes the Night at the Museum movies and, more recently, The Adam Project and Free Guy. Their knack for tapping into the ’80s zeitgeist has been largely responsible for launching the careers of their young stars, including Millie Bobby Brown, Finn Wolfhard, Joe Keery, Sadie Sink, and others....

At the center of Star Wars sit the twins. A cornerstone of the Original Trilogy, Luke and Leia are also the template for some of the shorts in the Star Wars: Visions anime anthology. The episode “The Twins” takes this concept the most literally, presenting twins born for a specific purpose, whether or not they fulfill it. But it’s another episode, “Lop and Ochō,” which truly takes the “Force siblings” concept to another level....

In the time that most television series are still putting their boots on, Inside No. 9 conjures entire narrative worlds, complete with characters, plot, gags, surprises and satisfying endings. Its half-hours are so densely packed, no TV offers better value for money or a more generous time-investment-to-reward ratio. The series six opener ‘Wuthering Heist’ is no different. In under 30 minutes, it delivers a thriller heist that riffs around a traditional form of masked theatre, without a minute’s let-up in the volley of jokes....

A stranded pedalo! Glorious. It’s taken almost 40 episodes, but Inside No. 9 has finally landed on the purest distillation of its ‘contained space’ concept. They will never better a pedalo. A pedalo is a punchline before you’ve even written a word, which is what makes it a divine backdrop for a script about grief, loss, regrets and the messiness of once-close friendships that have – literally here – drifted....

Star Trek: Lower Decks Season 3 Episode 10 “There are over 800 episodes of Star Trek that we can use when we need something,” Star Trek: Lower Decks showrunner Mike McMahan tells us, when asked about his process of formulating the show’s countless Trek Easter eggs. “We can’t use anything of the Discovery era because that ship was unrecorded in history, and we can’t really use anything from Picard, but other than that, all of these years, watching and reading and doing all of the Star Trek stuff that I love, we have the opportunity to use it in different ways all of the time....

The Internet of Things can easily make it among the next bests. But you wouldn’t believe it if I told you that the projected number of IoT devices in 2030 will be almost three times the number of humans inhabiting Earth. In other words, that’s three IoT devices per person. That’s a lot of devices and even more of the internet. And the internet, in trying to make our lives easier, brings along many vulnerabilities....
