What’s not to love about Joss Whedon? The man has been a fandom legend since the days of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. He’s behind amazing shows like Dollhouse and Firefly, and movies like The Avengers. And while there were apparently some challenges for him when it came to Avengers: Age of Ultron, the movie was, overall, a success in our opinion. In a recent interview with The Wrap, Whedon was asked if he’d return to Marvel to helm a female-led movie....

The box office success of Deadpool proves there’s a market out there for superhero spoofs. Hollywood immediately took notice: Suicide Squad is rumored to be going through re-shoots to make it lighter and funnier (or not?). But there’s another superhero parody firmly entrenched in pop culture for almost half a century. We’re talking, of course, about the 1966 Batman TV show. People often dismiss 1966 Batman as being too campy. However, as goofy as the show is, it is often genuinely entertaining precisely because it doesn’t take itself too seriously....

Though he wouldn’t become known to many fans of the Marvel films until his appearance in the second Captain America solo adventure, the Winter Soldier has had a long and somewhat complicated history in the comic world. Originally known as Bucky Barnes, Steve Rogers’ World War II-era best friend and sidekick, he would be thought dead for decades before reemerging as the mysterious Winter Soldier. The decades between Bucky and the Winter Soldier would be explored in various comic storylines, helping to bridge the gaps between the two big periods of the character’s life....

Although Netflix’s 13 Reasons Why has prided itself on being a show that sheds light on real-world issues, it has continued to outright ignore a huge issue at its core - Clay Jensen’s apparent schizophrenia. Based on Jay Asher’s book of the same name, 13 Reasons Why debuted on Netflix to huge buzz and even positive reviews. Described as powerful and hard-hitting, the show’s first season explored the suicide of Hannah Baker and the thirteen reasons that led her to that decision....

Superhero movies and TV shows aren’t all flashy costumes and shiny special effects. Their creators have to go through a lot to get them there, and the process isn’t always pretty. Just like sausage, the creation of any project involves a bunch of processes that you either don’t care about or shouldn’t see. The reasons are several. Usually it’s because it would be super boring to see something like the assistants who had to spend countless hours hand-linking the chainmail for the Lord of the Rings movies....

MAS*H remains one of the most iconic sitcoms in the history of television. Set during the Korean War and following the struggles of a team of field surgeons at the 4077, the series had eleven seasons and earned the undying love of fans both during its run and after. In fact, its finale remains one of the most widely-watched events in television history. The series is frequently shown in reruns on a variety of networks....

In 1987, a then-young screenwriter, Shane Black teamed up with Superman director, Richard Donner to bring us the gift of Lethal Weapon. Starring Danny Glover and Mel Gibson; both doing the rare fete in Hollywood - playing characters older than their own ages at the time. As two Vietnam veterans now LAPD officers, family man Roger Murtaugh and depressed and suicidal Martin Riggs; the reluctant partners uncover a plot that tied into both of their pasts....

One of the biggest problems facing horror films is the need to tell a story, provide a few scares and wrap it up all in about 2 hours. Then the inevitable seven sequels, sure, but you get the idea. TV shows give the horror genre more room to breathe, expand, build character, build tension and the pay off is often in more unique and complex storylines. In the last five years, the genre of TV horror seems to have enjoyed a resurgence....

There’s no shortage of memorable villains in the history of film ⁠— but the ones who really stick with us are those capable of sending shivers down our spines. While any garden variety baddie can go on a homicidal spree or blow an entire city sky-high, it takes a truly special menace to instill genuine fear in the hearts of moviegoers. Intriguingly, it’s rare that anything overt makes these big screen antagonists so terrifying, but rather one or more small tics that exude sinister vibes....

All movie-lovers will advocate for the idea that box office numbers don’t always equate to a movie being good. For instance, some of the most famous flicks of our generation probably bombed at the box office, while some of the most critically-acclaimed films out there are hidden gems that barely made a wave in Hollywood. For everyone who lives and breathes according to Rotten Tomatoes, you should probably check it before you contribute to high-grossing films at the theater....

The coming-of-age genre is popular in both literature and film. It deals with a child or teenaged main character coming to terms with impending adulthood or some specific aspect of growing up. For literature, the coming-of-age novel most people think of is J.D. Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye, and for film, most people think of ’80s classics such as The Breakfast Club or Sixteen Candles. While the stories, including films, have rightfully earned acclaim and recognition, there are other coming-of-age films that are just as well-written and well-made, if not better....

With Season 3 on the way, Westworld keeps its better foot forward with great costume design and a tense atmosphere. Delos is a company that changed how we look at entertainment. Human-like “Hosts” are organic robots that exist as an end all be all attraction for those who are rich enough. Until they gained some sentience via creator Ford’s new narrative, that is. These Hosts live in different zones, such as Westworld - a land of cowboys and bandits....

Since premiering nearly two and a half decades ago, Friends has shown itself to be a long-lasting cultural phenomenon. In the 1990s and early 2000s, over the course of its ten-year run, each episode of the series routinely drew in anywhere between 20 million to 50 million viewers, with the series finale alone attracting over 52.5 million viewers at the time of airing. Nowadays, in this day and age of delayed viewing and streaming, it’s hard to even conceive of so many people sitting down across the country to watch an episode of television in real time that way....

The appeal of Netflix isn’t just limited to offering popular movies and television shows when they’re no longer in theaters or after the season finishes airing, however. The streaming giant carved out a unique niche for itself by creating original content. Many were skeptical about this content at first. However, now many of the most highly-anticipated television series are Netflix originals. Every year, they are nominated and sometimes even go on to win major awards at the Emmys....

With a whole new world of live-action adaptations in the works, including The Lion King and Mulan, Disney just recently added Aladdin to the list. Facing a public outcry against the whitewashing of Mulan, hopefully Disney execs pay attention and take action with Aladdin. When it comes to casting, we know that whitewashing is a failed experiment, and with re-telling a story like Aladdin for the silver screen, one would think that they have to change their mindset....
