The series follows the angel Aziraphale (Michael Sheen) and the demon Crowley (David Tennant) as they race to stop the apocalypse in the days after the birth of the Anti-Christ....

It’s not all that uncommon for movie-goers to misremember tiny details or dialogue of a particular movie. As time passes, the distortion only grows stronger, and sometimes, the audience will swear their life on a faulty memory. For instance, manyStar Warsfanatics probably remember the first time Darth Vader revealed his identity and uttered one ofthe most iconic dialogues— “Luke! I am your father.” But in reality, Vader actually said, “No! I’m your father....
Slowly (perhaps, too slowly for our liking) but surely, fans are seeing more of the still mysteriousStar Trek Beyond, the third film in the rebooted film franchise and the first from directorJustin Lin. While we continue to piece together exactly what’s going on with the Enterprise crew and the new villain on the intergalactic block,Idris Elba, a new image has crash landed with Spock, Bones, and the new alien Jaylah in tow....
With no feature film set to hit screens again for quite some time, television has become an excellent format for theStar Warsgalaxy. Just this past year we got a trio of majorStar Warstelevision shows, featuring the return of the ultimate bounty hunter inThe Book of Boba Fett(2021), the rematch of the century inObi-Wan Kenobi(2021), and the surprising maturity ofAndor(2021). The live-action projects are a blast to be sure, but when it comes to the franchise’s roots in serialized programming, they are deeply entrenched in animation....
Season 2 ofStranger Thingsis upon us. The good news is that most reviews point to an entertaining sophomore season that expands the mythology and makes good on the promised premise set down in Season 1. Our ownAllison Keenecalled it “a delightful return” with “a smartly written and cleverly-plotted script” from theDuffer Brothers; you canread the full review here. But much like early detractors called the first season derivative and unoriginal, you can expect to hear similar criticisms levied against Season 2....
Netflix has released the first trailer for their upcomingSweet Toothseries, based on the DC Comic of the same name. And boy does this look weird in the best way. Set years after “The Great Crumble,” a semi-apocalyptic event that left the Earth in shambles but also heralded the arrival of a bevy of hybrid deer-humans, the show follows one such hybrid named Sweet Tooth as he forms an unlikely bond with a loner....

Writer-directorNikolaj Arcelhas some tough challenges ahead of him as far as the adaptation ofStephen King’sThe Dark Towerseries is concerned. Not only does he have to bring the books to life in a way that’s both satisfactory and satisfying to the rabid fanbase (and the franchise’s meticulous author), it has to remain marketable for general audiences who are coming into this massive property blind. Unless both of those boxes are checked, you can wave goodbye to any future sequels in the movies or on TV....
The catastrophe of Barry’s time traveling shenanigans became even more tragic inThe Flash’s “Shade.” If you thought Alchemy was a formidable foe, he’s likely nothing compared to theGod of Speed, Savitar. Central City has become a magnet for troublesome metahumans, and the problem getting worse by the moment. In the best episode so far this season, the focus was primarily on the ramifications of obtaining metahuman powers and their potential villainous side effects....

This season, following the creation of the new timeline “Flashpoint”, Barry has been dealing with problems emerging because of his tampering with the space time continuum....
It feels safe to say that Caitlin Snow’s transformation into her comic book alter ego Killer Frost was one of the most highly anticipated events onThe Flash. However, italsoseems safe to say that the addition of her icy alter ego to the series’ cast has frequently felt like a disappointment, featuring contradicting plot points, changing characterization, and a lack of real direction. Until now. It may have been a long time coming, butThe Flashhas finally decided to do right by one of its most historically underused characters, giving both Caitlin and Killer Frost a complicated past to reckon with, a new relationship to explore, and a future that feels wide open at last....
