TheMarvel Cinematic Universewas first introduced with Iron Man in 2008. In the following 15 years, throughout the MCU, redemption has been a recurring theme when it comes to a character’s individual arc and development. While the antagonist of each story are often the driving force, there have been times when they have turned into the protagonist by the end.

Awards season is one of the most exciting times of the year not just for movie fans, but (perhaps especially) for the entire film industry — Hollywood in particular. However, there’s no shortage of controversial awards and awards ceremonies, and the Golden Globes are perhaps at the top of that list in terms of notoriety. Though they were formerly handed out by the infamously corrupt Hollywood Foreign Press, lots of changes have been implemented, chief among which is that the awards are now handled by the Golden Globe Foundation....

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciencesmade sweeping changesto the Oscars telecast earlier today, to widespread dismay. But there’s a man behind the curtain, so to speak, and it’s ABC. Indeed, the Academy’s changes—including adding a “Best Popular Film” category and removing certain awards from the telecast so that it’s shorter—seemed to be a desperate play to gain more viewers. But new reporting suggests the Academy themselves were pressured by none other than ABC....

In 2015, HBO dropped a sports documentary called7 Days in Hellthat sure looked like a genuine chronicle of a legendary tennis match, but was actually an artfully concocted comedy from the minds ofAndy Samberg, directorJake Szymanski, and writerMurray Miller. The trio have reunited for an all-new sports mockumentary follow-up of sorts calledTour de Pharmacy, debuting on HBO on July 8th, this time taking on the sport of cycling. Narrated byJon Hamm, this mockumentary chronicles a 1982 cycling event in all its silly glory, with Samberg,Orlando Bloom,Daveed Diggs,John Cena, andFreddie Highmoreportraying the main players in that event while a litany of celebrities contextualize the story in modern day, talking head-style interviews....

Hulu has released the official trailer for theAnimaniacsreboot and oh my gosh, yes, yes, yes, inject this into my veinsright now. It’s been more than 25 years sinceAnimaniacsfirst aired, introducing us to the extremely wacky sibling trio of Wakko, Yakko, and Dot. (The first two are the titular Warner Bros., for your information, and Dot won’t let you forget she’s the lone Warner sister.) Now, with the combined efforts of Hulu, Amblin Entertainment, and Warner Bros....

Arrow fans! Your regular recapper Kayti Burt is abroad for two weeks, possibly in Russia working with Bratva, so I’m dusting off my recap boots and filling in. For much ofArrow’s “Spectre of the Gun,” I was thinking about Season 3 ofThe Wire. One of the reasons it’s my favorite is because it does something audacious — it legalizes drugs. The War on Drugs definedThe Wire, and though the show was steeped in realism, it allowed itself some fictional fun by creating legalized drug zones in Season 3 called “Hamsterdam....

I think as time goes on, we’ll become kinder towardsAvengers: Age of Ultron. The expectations will fall away, and audiences will accept whatJoss Whedonwas trying to do on his wildly ambitious sequel. It’s a film that doesn’t always work, but it has some absolutely beautiful sentiments and insights about humanity, and in some senses, it feels like Whedon got away with something. However, that’s not the current narrative about the film and Joss Whedon knows it....

Be aware there arespoilersaplenty for Godzilla: King of the Monsters below. Godzilla: King of the Monstershas proven to be rather the divisive entry in theGodzillacanon. The epic monster smackdown didn’t fare so well with critics on Rotten Tomatoes, but the audience score currently sits at more than double the critics tally, and there are plenty of Godzilla fans out there who found a lot to love inMichael Dougherty’s love letter to the king of monster franchises....
