Daredevil = hallway fights Disney+ In an interview with ComicBook.com, Coiro spoke about executing the Daredevil cameo and handling all the (exciting) baggage that comes with him — including that hallway fight: “I have to say [the relationship between Jennifer Walter and Daredevil] was one of the things I was most nervous about, because he has such a rabid fan base, and because people expect certain things and yet we’re subverting his genre a little bit....

Star Trek: Lower Decks Just Loves Being Star Trek, And That’s Why It Works Paramount By Witney Seibold/Oct. 27, 2022 9:00 am EST This post contains spoilers for the season 3 finale of “Star Trek: Lower Decks.” One of the reasons “Star Trek: Lower Decks” is so funny is that is focuses on a smaller, more pathetic corner of the “Star Trek” universe. In following a quartet of lower-ranking officers on an under-equipped, inauspicious ship, audiences can see for the first time how difficult and frustrating being a Starfleet officer can really be....

The Firefly Cast Have Thought A Lot About Their Characters’ Futures 20th Television By Jamie Gerber/Sept. 24, 2022 8:30 pm EST It’s difficult sometimes to know when something is over. Much like relationships, TV shows can wear out their welcome, taking too long to realize that it’s time to say goodbye. Other series are cut down in their prime, stopped before they could even truly get started, with their potential never fully realized....

The Menu Review: Ralph Fiennes Serves Up A Delightfully Wicked Feast [TIFF] Searchlight Pictures By Chris Evangelista/Sept. 11, 2022 12:15 pm EST Tonight you’ll be dining at Hawthorne, one of the most exclusive restaurants in the world. Located on a small, picturesque island where all the food is grown, raised, harvested, and slaughtered, Hawthorne only serves 12 customers per night at $1250 a head. That sort of exclusivity and whopping price tag means you won’t be getting any old food — you’ll be served deconstructed works of art; exercises in molecular gastronomy, all prepared by Chef Slowik and his committed staff....

The Secret MVP Of Bones And All Only Has One Other Screen Credit United Artists By Erin Brady/Nov. 23, 2022 10:00 am EST This piece contains slight spoilers for “Bones and All.” There is absolutely no denying that Taylor Russell and Timothée Chalamet are the beating hearts of “Bones and All.” Their portrayals of teenage cannibals Maren and Lee are truly stunning, with Russell, in particular, delivering a star-making performance. Given how the movie’s other actors are all given extremely small parts in comparison to Maren and Lee, it’s clear that they are supposed to be the viewer’s focus....

There’s A Simple Trick To Writing A Good Homer Simpson Script By Devin Meenan/Aug. 13, 2022 5:51 pm EST Having run for more than 30 years, “The Simpsons” has seen many writers come and go. One of the most acclaimed was John Swartzwelder, who wrote for the series from its first season to its fifteenth; his final episode was “The Regina Monologues,” when the Simpsons family visits England and meets esteemed guest stars like then-Prime Minister Tony Blair and J....

‘We wanted to disrupt this superhero genre’ Warner Bros. In a rowdy and thoroughly entertaining group interview with Entertainment Weekly, Dwayne Johnson and the rest of the core cast of “Black Adam” opened up about the experience of filming this blockbuster romp. When asked about the process of capturing superpowers in motion and whether members of the ensemble found themselves resorting to the tried-and-true process of wirework, a method used for countless blockbuster films and especially comic book movies, The Rock revealed a neat insight into how “Black Adam” took a different approach to capture its main protagonist in flight....

Train To Busan And Hellbound Director Yeon Sang-Ho Sets New Netflix Series The Bequeathed Netflix By BJ Colangelo/Oct. 20, 2022 4:32 pm EST Netflix is continuing its investment in South Korean programming, as the director of the groundbreaking zombie film “Train to Busan” and the shocking Netflix series “Hellbound” has a brand new series up his sleeve. Prolific director Yeon Sang-ho has a phenomenal filmography worth checking out, but his newest venture, “The Bequeathed,” is definitely something worth getting excited about....

Vin Diesel Gave Steven Spielberg Some Directions Of His Own During Saving Private Ryan DreamWorks Pictures By Marcos Melendez/Aug. 11, 2022 11:50 am EST Before Vin Diesel went on to star in his own billion-dollar franchise with “Fast and Furious” in 2001, the actor was a relative unknown trying to make a name for himself in the filmmaking business. Enter “Saving Private Ryan” in 1998, the absolutely devastating war film by Steven Spielberg, who took a chance on this Diesel kid and cast him in a supporting role....

What Pearl Has In Common With One Of Stephen King’s Greatest Characters A24 By Michael Boyle/Sept. 19, 2022 4:00 pm EST Ti West’s new psychological horror film “Pearl” is out in theaters, and it’s definitely worth a watch. It’s about a sweet young woman named Pearl (Mia Goth) who wants to be a famous actress, and she’ll stop at nothing to make that happen. If Pearl was growing up today she’d probably rise to fame as a chaotic TikTok star, but unfortunately she’s stuck in 1918: There’s still a pandemic going on, but there’s not even any internet to help pass the time....

What Sets She-Hulk Apart From The Rest Of The MCU, According To The Cast And Crew By Lyvie Scott/Aug. 17, 2022 12:24 pm EST If the promotional tour for Marvel’s latest series has proven one thing, it’s that we’re all a little hot for big, green people. Of course, the Hulk has always been hot (don’t fight me on that), but aside from a rather risque moment in “Thor: Ragnarok” — and a disappointing, half-baked romance in “Avengers: Age of Ultron” — said hotness has never gotten much acknowledgement in the Marvel Cinematic Universe....

Now, about that budget… Paramount Pictures There’s not a ton that you need to do to replicate the sights and sounds of Camp Crystal Lake. Do you have a large plot of land in the countryside with a lake attached? Congratulations! You’ve got your newest location of Camp Crystal Lake. After all, the first film was shot at an active Boy Scout camp on a budget of $550,000, so with the right location and set designers, it shouldn’t be too difficult in theory to make the world of “Friday the 13th” come back alive....

Would The Original Ending Of Don’t Worry Darling Improve The Movie? Warner Bros. By Witney Seibold/Sept. 27, 2022 10:17 am EST Warning: This article will openly discuss many spoilers about the ending of Olivia Wilde’s “Don’t Worry Darling.” The original screenplay for “Don’t Worry Darling” was written by Carey and Shane Van Dyke, who are grandsons of Dick Van Dyke. Their script was infamously on the 2019 Black List, an annual poll held among screenwriters who vote for the best scripts floating around Hollywood that have not yet been produced....

Adult Swim Yule Log Quietly Became One Of 2022’s Best Horror Films Adult Swim By Matthew Bilodeau/Dec. 15, 2022 4:45 pm EST This article contains major spoilers for “Adult Swim Yule Log.” In the age of streaming, the folks at Adult Swim are constantly proving the power of stumbling across a bizarre fever dream at 3:00 a.m. You wake up wondering if that commercial (“Unedited Footage of a Bear”) about an ambiguous drug, which turns into a nightmarish spiral into the world of addiction, was something you hallucinated while in this dream state....

‘The thing starts to take on the feeling of a ghost story’ Focus Features This interview was lightly edited for brevity and clarity. “Armageddon Time” is so interesting because this is not just an autobiographically inspired tale for you. It also takes place when the U.S. is at a really pivotal historical moment in a number of ways. How did you land on this story, and choose a lens into these moments?...

Better Call Saul’s Greatest Performance Finally Got An Emmy Nomination AMC By Jeremy Mathai/July 12, 2022 1:35 pm EST For a show that delights in the carefully constructed minutia of process and subtlety and patience, perhaps no actor in the sprawling and immensely talented ensemble cast better represents the ethos of “Better Call Saul” than Rhea Seehorn as Kim Wexler. Her character functions as the heart, soul, and moral center of the series, serving as Jimmy McGill’s (Bob Odenkirk) conscience while navigating her own intensely compelling personal journey through the legal (and, despite her best efforts, criminal) landscape of New Mexico....

Censorship Was The Spark That Sent Rod Serling To The Twilight Zone CBS By Michael Boyle/Oct. 1, 2022 11:30 pm EST There are plenty of lessons to learn from the ’60s anthology TV show “The Twilight Zone.” Lessons like “don’t judge a book by its cover,” and “make sure you have a second pair of glasses.” Perhaps more noteworthy was the way it used its speculative elements to tackle larger social issues, using the speculative elements as allegories for the stuff they actually wanted to talk about....

Even The Sopranos’ Stars Didn’t Understand Why The Show Was A Success Going Into Season 2 HBO By Danielle Ryan/Oct. 18, 2022 5:53 pm EST It’s hard to believe now, but there once was a time when people had never heard of “The Sopranos.” The HBO series, created by David Chase, helped usher in a new era of prestige television that led to shows like “Breaking Bad,” “The Wire,” and more....
