Fargo Song Picker Finds Obscure Gems to Underscore Quirky Criminality
It was weird enough that bleakly funny Minnesota noir series Fargo (Wednesdays on FX through June) kicked off its third season last month with an eight-minute interrogation set in Cold War East Berlin.

Watch the Gripping new Trailer for Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk
Writer/director Christopher Nolan is back with the World War II epic Dunkirk, which tells the story of the chaotic rescue of Allied soldiers during one of the bloodiest and most crucial battles of the war. It was May, 1940, and Germany looked poised to secure a decisive victory in their war effort, one that would have essentially made WWII unwinnable for the allies. The Germany army was pushing deeper into France, where they'd managed to trap Allied troops on the beaches of Dunkirk.
MUTHR Returns in new Aliens: Covenant Trailer
You'll be forgiven if you don’t remember MUTHR (pronounced ‘mother’) in Ridley Scott’s very first Alien, the artificial intelligence that powered the Nostromo, Ripley’s ship, with a cool, indifferent female-voiced appraisal. MUTHUR wasn’t as evil as Stanley Kubrick’s HAL, but she wasn’t a very maternal artificial being, either. Now, in Scott’s upcoming Alien: Covenant, MUTHR returns, and the A.I.'s inclusion likely means it plays a significant part in the deadly events in the film.

HBO Has Four (Yes, Four) Game of Thrones Spinoffs in Development
You can never have too much of a good thing.
