This article contains massive Disclosure Day spoilers. It’s a single word with profound implications. On a night where the world feels like it is on the eve of WWIII, and the media breathlessly follows reports of geopolitical turmoil coming out of the Korean peninsula, all of the petty problems of humanity seem suddenly mooted by a sequence that is pure Spielbergian magic. Driven by—or possessed—by her connection to extraterrestrials that dates back to a childhood abduction, Emily Blunt’s

The earliest surviving narrative text featuring that rogue we now know as the Prince of Thieves, the Fox of Sherwood, the guy with the bow, is the ballad of “Robin Hood and the Monk.” Our copy is believed to date back to around 1450, although the tale is likely older. But even that long ago, many of the elements we associate with Robin Hood are already in place: the Merry Men, Little John, and an antipathy toward the Sheriff of Nottingham. Yet if you actually go back to dust off the stanzas a

By the time Eraser released on June 21, 1996, Arnold Schwarzenegger ruled Hollywood. It’s not just that he was a giant man, the former Mister Universe. Arnold had already done all-time classics like Predator and Terminator 2. He knew what he was and he got his way. So when he wanted to make a movie about a U.S. Marshal who defends a whistleblower in witness protection from a government conspiracy, most would just follow orders. Not Chuck Russell. When the script for Eraser hit his desk,

Batman‘s always had a villain problem. Not just because they keep getting out of Arkham Asylum every time he puts them in, but also because they keep overshadowing him in movies. Even The Batman, which gave plenty of time to Robert Pattinson‘s emo take on the Dark Knight, also featured the Riddler, Catwoman, Carmine Falcone, a cameo by the Joker, and Colin Farrell as the Penguin. The Batman: Part II seems to be following the same model, with Sebastian Stan, Scarlett Johansson, and Ch

Ask entrepreneur Gary Vaynerchuk, better known as Gary Vee, about his goals for the more than 200 characters he’s created for his VeeFriends brand, and he won’t just talk about the comics or stickers in which they’ve appeared, nor the newest set of VeeFriends trading cards released by Topps Chrome. No, Gary Vee wants VeeFriends to “bring balance to the world.” Such a monumental goal requires an even greater guide, and Vee thinks he’s found one in Jim Henson

Articles that talk about how back in the day, the danger was real for the performers on stage, tend to sound like they miss those days. We don’t. We believe we live in an era where safety needs to come first, and where animals aren’t exploited. It isn’t a perfect world, but we’re trying. Instead, we are focusing on these images to remember the strange things we thought were fun. Dangerous stunts still happen, but with a much more dedicated medical staff. Animals are still used in entertainmen

As actors and performers grow in age, the roles they can play change dramatically. Child actors grow into teen dramas, who later play adults and veterans until only elderly roles are left. But not everyone functions that way, since not all bodies grow in the same manner; some people are eternal children, while others look 40 from before and after they turn that age. Chalk it up to a receding hairline, a weathered face, or simply an unusually mature screen presence, these actors often found th

Some actors seem to maintain the face and physicality of youth for longer than other people, letting them play young adults or even teens well into their thirties. Emphasis on some, since there are other actors that simply don’t look the part. Adults act better than teens, but they need to fit the bill. We’ve gathered here a few actors that played teens for a bit too long, traversing high school halls looking more like teachers than students. Some of them were able to trick us for years, but

What does it mean that something is cursed? Well, in the way the term is used now, it doesn’t mean that something (or someone) is being altered supernaturally, rather, it refers to events or circumstances that are so weird or tragic, they feel like a curse was cast. No one actually thinks these shows were cursed, but people do agree that parts of their plots, productions or scripts feel that way. These are the TV shows that generate a lot of online discussions, not due to their plots or chara

Romantic chemistry in movies does not always follow logic, consistency, or even basic compatibility, yet audiences are often asked to accept it anyway. Over the years, countless films have paired characters together for narrative convenience, star power, or simple storytelling shortcuts rather than a believable emotional connection. The result is a long list of couples that feel confusing, forced, or completely out of place within their own stories. Here are twenty movie couples that never quite

Some announcements feel surprising. Others feel inevitable. The reveal of Resident Evil: Veronica at Summer Game Fest 2026 falls squarely into the latter category. For years, fans have viewed the survival horror cult classic as the missing piece of Capcom’s remake lineup, making its long-awaited return feel less like a shock and more like a correction.   Like the Resident Evil remakes before it, Veronica aims to strike a balance between nostalgia and reinvention. The eerie reveal tr

This article contains spoilers for Masters of the Universe. Turns out Masters of the Universe doesn’t have the power after all. After getting trounced on opening weekend by Scary Movie, a movie no one seems to want or like, Masters of the Universe will probably not make back its nearly $200 million budget. There’s a lot of blame to go around, and we could point fingers at the fact that someone (probably IP-holder Mattel) thought He-Man could be Barbie, or the fact that the franchi

This article contains spoilers for the premiere of The Vampire Lestat. The first two seasons of Interview with the Vampire detailed the turbulent relationship between the fiery Lestat de Lioncourt (Sam Reid) and the brooding Louis de Pointe du Lac (Jacob Anderson) from Louis’ point of view. But in the third season of AMC’s adaptation of Anne Rice’s book series, we switch to Lestat’s version of events following the pair’s reconciliation and the notable release of Daniel

For now four consecutive feature films, bustin’ has made audiences feel okay-to-bad. After the classic that is 1984’s Ghostbusters, the franchise has gone through multiple sequels and reboots, none of which have come close to recreating the magic of the first film. Conventional wisdom would say that Ghostbusters should be a one-off, and any attempt to expand the franchise wreaks of desperate IP-mining. The announcement of the Sony and Netflix series Ghostbusters: Night Shift contr

After The Boys concluded its fifth and final season on Prime Video, fan reactions online were mixed. Some felt the popular series ended on a high note, while others were disappointed by what it delivered, believing the show’s marketing had hyped a more explosive swan song for Billy Butcher (Karl Urban) and the villainous Homelander (Antony Starr) following years of buildup. The Boys creator Eric Kripke recently admitted to TVLine that he knows there are “a lot of unhappy people o

This article contains spoilers for The Vampire Lestat premiere. In Anne Rice’s beloved book series The Vampire Chronicles, rebellious bloodsucker Lestat de Lioncourt gets drawn into some truly complex romances, but the third season of AMC’s Interview with the Vampire series, The Vampire Lestat, explores the most complex relationship of them all: the one he has with his mother. cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "106e33c0-3911-473c-b599-b1426db57530", }).r

Once solely the domain of baseball players and movie cowboys, trading cards have become a more inclusive medium in the internet era. Now industry titan Topps Chrome is paying homage to some of the creators that helped build that modern internet era. Launching on Wednesday, June 10, the second set of “VeeFriends” trading cards from Topps Chrome will include 13 “Content Condor’s Favorite Content Creators” insert cards that highlight notable internet personalities such as Mr.

Performers do what they can with the material they are given, that’s something we know. This is why, when we find a movie is lacking in quality, it’s good practice not to immediately blame the actors; they are only the face of the disaster we are witnessing in front of us. There are actors, however, that give it their all even when the rest of the movie doesn’t meet their momentum. They were given scripts and situations that were either ridiculous, poorly executed, or a combination of both, a

Zombie movies have survived for decades because they can be almost anything. Some are terrifying survival stories, others are action spectacles, dark comedies, social commentaries, or even emotional dramas. The undead may be the common thread, but the genre has constantly reinvented itself with each generation. Looking at IMDb ratings offers an interesting snapshot of which films have resonated most strongly with audiences over the years. From genre defining classics to modern reinventions, thes

Even a few months ago, if I told you about a movie that had a blond guy with gigantic muscles, a rainbow bridge between dimensions, and endless monsters and spaceships, you’d think I was talking about Thor. But this weekend, the description fits a non-Marvel flick, Masters of the Universe. The similarity between the two properties isn’t entirely a coincidence. Masters of the Universe started out in 1982 as Mattel’s attempt to cash in on the popularity of Conan the Barbarian
