This article contains Spider-Man: No Way Home spoilers. Who’s your favorite Spider-Man? This loaded question often says as much about the age of the person answering it as it does the actual performance they’re praising. Millennials of a certain age, as well as younger Gen-Xers, might swear on their lives it never got better than

There are some things we just automatically associate with Christmas. Tinsel, Christmas trees, crackers with bad jokes in, fairy lights. There are also stories we keep coming back to at this time of year. Scrooge and his ghosts, George Bailey seeing what the world would be like if he’d never been born, and yes, John

While I wouldn’t go so far as to say that 2021 has been a banner year for hard video games, anyone who seeks out difficult games as a cathartic escape from difficult times certainly won’t be disappointed by this year’s selection of controller smashing, monitor breaking, soul-shaking experiences. In fact, it was an especially interesting

The Marvel Cinematic Universe timeline was hard to keep track of before a universe-changing event occurred in Avengers: Endgame, prompting the main chronology of the series to skip five years ahead mid-movie. Now we’re on the other side of “the Blip,” and the five-year time jump it prompted, but what does that mean for the

While I’d love to be able to talk more about Final Fantasy 14: Endwalker‘s story, characters, best moments, and mechanics, the fact of the matter is that most of the conversations about this game so far have been focused on the MMO’s ridiculously long queues and various error messages. I hope that Square Enix’s recent

Willem Dafoe is having a moment. Four of them, actually. With this weekend marking the release of both Guillermo del Toro’s cynically bleak noir, Nightmare Alley, as well as the high-flying adventures of Spider-Man: No Way Home, the four-time Oscar nominated actor is at polar ends of the cinematic landscape: a chilly and cerebral awards-bound

Ben Affleck just gave one of the best performances of his career. All preening entitlement and sneering arrogance, his performance in The Last Duel, which he co-wrote with Matt Damon and Nicole Holofcener, revels in an almost cartoonish level of debauchery. Yet it somehow works. If the film had been as warmly received by audiences

While many Final Fantasy 14 players have spent most of the time since Endwalker‘s release staring at a queue screen, you will eventually get the chance to actually play this incredible expansion which means that you’re probably going to want to know a little about the best classes in the game. To be clear, Final

Sean Connery, Russell Crowe, Nic Cage, and more actors who almost landed roles in the iconic The Lord of the Rings trilogy. “This year marks the 20th anniversary of the cultural juggernaut that is Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings trilogy, which started with the release of The Fellowship of the Ring on December 19, 2001. The

One is your friendly neighborhood wall-crawler, a kid from Queens trying to juggle his life and his duty to help others. The other is the grand protector of our dimension, fighting mystical threats from throughout the multiverse. They may not sound like they complement each other on paper but, believe it or not, Spider-Man and

William Shatner has not lost his sense of adventure, wonder, or humor. But he has a serious message. The actor who originated the role of Captain Kirk on Star Trek may not have gone where no man has gone before, but he has touched the sky. His view from Blue Origin’s NS-18 suborbital flight that

With great power comes great responsibility. And the power of getting to don Peter Parker’s beloved red and blue tights has been bestowed only on a few. Despite it seeming like a new Spider-Man movie is coming to theaters every year—and to be fair that’s not too far from the truth—just three actors have played

Writer, artist, and director Dash Shaw’s adult animated fantasy film Cryptozoo is a morality play masquerading as a dark reflection of Jurassic Park. In that film, dinosaurs were brought back to life through DNA and put on display. Cryptozoo does the same with cryptids, which are mythological creatures who have teased mankind’s imagination since the

The Game Awards featured a number of incredible (and surprising) trailers, but the show may have been stolen by the announcement that Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor developer Monolith Productions is working on an open-world Wonder Woman game that will feature a version of the “Nemesis System” that the studio’s Lord of the Rings games are

The live-action remake of beloved anime Cowboy Bebop had all the makings of a Big Deal ™ for Netflix. In development since 2017, the show was intended to honor Sunrise animation’s 1998 sci-fi neo noir classic while hopefully introducing its world to a new generation of fans. Prior to the Cowboy Bebop’s release, Netflix even

Peter Parker is a rebel. He’s a high-swinging, hard-kicking, red and blue smartass who never keeps his mouth shut. Spider-Man may have grown up learning the lessons of his dear Aunt May and Uncle Ben, but outside of those ostensible parents, he never has time for anyone over 30. He was the superhero idol of

Spider-Man: No Way Home has been teasing a universe-crossing cavalcade of supervillains, all of whom have been the center of serious questions set to be answered upon the film’s release next week. Interestingly enough, it appears that a potentially crucial detail has been divulged in advance about these Marvel Cinematic Universe-exiled remnants of previous movie
