Mr. Robot Airs Without a Single Cut
Ahead of its airing, last night’s episode of Mr. Robot was promoted to be commercial free. Famous fan Emmy Rossum channeled all of our curiosity with a pleading tweet for answers to series star, Sam Esmail, asking what was up.
Robot episode 5 is bananas. REAL TIME. @samesmail and the @whoismrrobot crew are committed passionate artists. I can only think about the camera operator and the actors. The effort to get this kind of marathon long take is exhausting...
Chadwick Boseman’s Accent in Black Panther Has a Fascinating Political Premise
Black Panther’s fictional land of Wakanda is a culturally rich nation that has become the most advanced society in the world. It’s also a unique narrative for an African nation in popular culture. Stories from black culture are often framed by the oppression of slavery, colonialism, and countless injustices endured by Africans throughout modern history. Stories of resilience, endurance, and strength reflect a culture besieged and triumphant in spite of all this, while Wakanda is a nation thriving,...
How Naomi Scott is Evolving the Role of Jasmine in Disney’s Aladdin
One of the most magical Disney live action remakes is getting a fresh makeover. To take hit musical Aladdin from 2D to 3D required giving leading lady, Jasmine, more dimension than the classic cartoon. Actress Naomi Scott, who is taking on the role of the famous princess, dished to THR about the direction they’re taking the character.
“I love what Disney is doing at the moment with their princesses — going from animation to live-action and making those animated characters real human beings,” Scott said...
What the Justice League is Up Against With the Villain Steppenwolf
The Justice League needed a villain dastardly enough to necessitate a union between Wonder Woman, Batman, Cyborg, Flash, Aquaman, and Superman. That called for the filmmakers to comb the DCEU for a mega baddie and who has an army of minions. Fans speculated that the role would be filled by ultimate DC destroyer, Darkseid, but the plot instead focuses on his underling, Steppenwolf.
There’s certainly nothing subtle about Steppenwolf. Even his appearance is overtly sinister and will be thoroughly convincing as the greatest threat to humanity yet...
Watch the First Trailer for Steven Spielberg’s Hugely Timely The Post
It’s difficult to imagine a more timely film than Steven Spielberg’s The Post. Starring Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks, The Post covers the monumental and hugely controversial publication of the Pentagon Papers back in the 1970s, focusing on the absolute necessity of a free press in any functioning democracy. It goes without saying that The Post comes at a time when our current president attacks the press nearly daily, smearing any story he doesn’t like as “fake news,” and suggesting,...
Mystery Plagues Gnomeo and Juliet in New Sherlock Gnomes Trailer
The most entertaining lawn decorations are back for another literary inspired adventure. Gnomeo and Juliet have a terrible mystery on their hands, so they are calling upon the greatest detective in all of Scotland YARD. (Get it? They live in a yard?) Yes, it’s Sherlock Gnomes.
There’s no evidence that Sherlock is actually from Scotland Yard in the film, but it definitely works with the theme. The Gnomeo & Juliet sequel is certainly not short on puns,...
A Favorite Stranger Things Character Was Almost Killed Off
Kids rule, adults drool on Stranger Things. They fight off demogorgon’s, travel into the upside down to save their friends, uncover government conspiracies, all while the majority of the grown-ups ignore or contribute to the problems in Hawkins. The young characters are the lifeblood of the show, which would make it even more shocking if one of them died.
According to io9, series co-creator Ross Duffer recently visited Chapman University and revealed that killing off one of the child character was,...
Jessica Chastain Confirms She’s Interested in Playing IT‘s Beverly Marsh
Jessica Chastain is getting everyone’s hopes up that she’ll appear in the It sequel. The casting is so perfect that we couldn’t stand being let down at this point.
With the spectacular success of It this year, there was never any doubt that Part 2 would come soon after. Stephen King’s massive story follows the Loser’s Club into adulthood and the final battle with the evil alien entity that feeds on fear. Naturally, conversations immediately started to turn toward casting the adult roles of the characters created by the talented young cast...
Evan Rachel Wood Confirms Westworld Season 2 Coming Early-ish Next Year
The last time we heard or saw anything definitive about Westworld season 2, it was during Comic-Con this past July when HBO released a brief teaser (which has since been taken down). When it comes to production, the set of Westworld is as secretive as Game of Thrones or any of the major film franchises (Marvel, DC, Star Wars, etc.), so getting even a little bit of information is something.
It took a Westworld fan asking (almost begging) star Evan Rachel Wood when season 2 might begin for us to get our first bit of news in a while...

Jemaine Clement Rocks Song from Moana In Māori Language
The beauty and adventure captured in Moana was skillfully delivered thanks to Disney’s investment in researching the Polynesian culture in an authentic way. Moana has now been translated into Māori, a native New Zealand language, and the result is breathtaking. Native New Zealand actor and musician, Jemaine Clement, played the greedy crab deity Tamatoa in the original version, and now Disney has released an audio recording of his Māori version.
Clement was wickedly fun as Tamatoa,...
Gal Gadot Confirms Wonder Woman Has Been Kicking Butt for 100 Years
Wonder Woman depicted the monumental occurrence when Diana Prince first made her triumphant journey from Themyscira to the mortal world during WWI. If your almanac is out of reach, that conflict wrapped up nearly a solid century ago. The Amazonian goddess is set to defend the planet again in Justice League out next week, which is set in contemporary times. Diana is looking pretty good for being over 100 years old, and Gal Gadot recently told Gen of Deek that Wonder Woman has been active that whole time...
The Confusion Around Aquaman’s Trident in Justice League
As we await the November 17 premiere of Justice League, one fact has been repeatedly confused; is Aquaman’s weapon of choice in the film a trident or not? As many people have realized, all the footage we’ve seen thus far of Jason Momoa’s Arthur Curry, better known as Aquaman, has shown him wielding a weapon that is definitively not a trident if we’re simply counting the tines. Going purely by the math, the weapon Aquaman is using in Justice League ...
