When Daredevil: Born Again premiered in 2025, it was a welcome back to familiar faces to the beloved stars of the original Drew Goddard series, with The Punisher showrunner Dario Scardapane picking up on the grit and action, but it still felt like a salvage job from previous creatives, as you can see the chaos […]
After taking three weeks off for 2026 Winter Olympics coverage, NBC's Saturday Night Live, host Connor Storrie (Heated Rivalry), and musical guests Mumford & Sons had the audacity to return with a show that has now set the official bar for the remainder of the season. Looking for sketches that hit hard at the headlines? […]
Mars is a gleefully stupid animated comedy that touches on current issues and feels like an amiable throwback to early to mid-2000s comedy, raining chaos on a topic currently in the zeitgeist: techbro billionaires' obsession with going to Mars. It's an on-brand animated comedy from comedy troupe The Whitest Kids U'Know, and is the last project […]
When Bill Lawrence had that perfect happy ending for Scrubs at the end of season eight that saw Dr. John "JD" Dorian (Zach Braff) moving on from Sacred Heart Hospital, married, and taking a new job, there were a few miscalculations on his part. First, as ABC demanded another season, the series ninth season was […]
NBC's Saturday Night Live may not be returning until February 28th (because of the 2026 Winter Olympics coverage), but the long-running late-night sketch comedy and music series gave SNL and Heated Rivalry fans something to talk about until then. But this weekend was all about how the show would head into its three-week break, and […]
On the surface, Wonder Man seems a bit of a parody of live-action superhero projects with its The Studio approach to the genre. It's far deeper than that, thanks to its two leads in Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, who plays Simon Williams, and Ben Kingsley, who reprises his Iron Man III (2013) and Shang-Chi and the […]
The good news? NBC's Saturday Night Live host Teyana Taylor made it two-for-two in 2026, showing solid comedic skills and a willingness to play into her strengths while giving us a chance to see just how much talent she brings to the table. Her opening monologue was funny and sweet (we loved it when the […]
After a bit of a winter hibernation, NBC's Saturday Night Live returned this weekend with host Finn Wolfhard (Stranger Things 5) and musical guest A$AP Rocky. Heading into the show, we shared five key points we were keeping in mind about SNL's midseason return – with Wolfhard being the topic of one of them. We've […]
Get ready for an action-packed spring as Crunchyroll will be releasing Shangri-La Frontier Season 2 and One Piece Season 14 Voyage 9 on Blu-ray as well as Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Freedom on 4K Ultra HD. April 7th will mark a monumental moment in One Piece history, as the Season 14 Voyage 9 Blu-ray and […]
If there's one thing that's consistent about the way Star Trek has carried itself as a franchise after 60 years, it's that they're always "boldly going" even if not everything fires off with all cylinders. That's not to say that every single project from TV and film isn't without its flaws, but in the current era […]
"Exit Strategy", the 30th Jack Reacher novel, is out, and the more things change, the more they stay the same, but in the best way possible. A new Reacher novel is now an annual event, and for some readers, a yearly ritual. However, Lee Child has retired from writing the novels to oversee the TV […]
And lo, the Doctor Who spinoff The War Between the Land and the Sea came to an end. Does it stick the landing? Well, it might have worked better if the writing had made any sense. The problem is that the entire series had an escalating number of plot holes, which made it increasingly nonsensical. The pacing was […]
Just so no one can accuse me of being caught up in the emotions leading into the show, this weekend's holiday-themed year-end show wasn't perfect. The "Love Is Blind Reunion" sketch didn't really resonate with me, and I wished Colin Jost and Michael Che's "Weekend Update Joke Swap" had involved both of them and wasn't […]
The Doctor Who spinoff The War Between The Land and The Sea heads into the second act of its blockbuster plot this week, with episodes three and four ramping up the complications. A totally expected betrayal causes everything to go horribly wrong for Barclay (Russell Tovey), Aquakind ambassador Salt (Gugu Mbatha-Raw), and Kate Lethbridge-Stewart (Jemma […]
As NBC's Saturday Night Live inches closer to its midseason finale next week (with host Ariana Grande and musical guest Cher), host Josh O'Connor was joined by musical guest Lily Allen for this weekend's fun and freaky show. It's been a recurring theme in my previous reviews, and it bears repeating following this week's show. […]
The last piece (for now) of Doctor Who is upon us. The standalone spinoff series The War Between the Land and the Sea is a five-part blockbuster Science Fiction epic that's also the final instalment of the Disney deal, and anyone watching wants to know just one thing: Is it any good? Short answer: YES. How good is […]
After heading into a two-week break, riding the momentum from what was the season's best effort to date, NBC's Saturday Night Live returned this weekend with host Melissa McCarthy and musical guest Dijon. Long story short? SNL has become a welcoming showcase for comedic actors who are willing to trust the SNL process and turn […]
There's one reason The Death of Bunny Munro exists and one reason to watch it: Matt Smith. Without him, the story might be unbearable. Nick Cave's cult novel tells the story of a sex addicted salesman who drags his son along on an odyssey across the South of England, ostensibly to sell makeup, hook up with […]
The success of The Legend of Vox Machina on Amazon Prime, from the day it got millions of dollars in crowdfunding to get it started, all the way to where we're talking about its fifth and final season going into production, will be a textbook lesson on how to get a series off the ground […]
NBC's Saturday Night Live might be heading into a two-week break (returning on December 6th with Melissa McCarthy and Dijon), but it didn't go away quietly. In fact, SNL (hosted by Glen Powell and with musical guest Olivia Dean) felt like it had a chip on its shoulder last night, reminding viewers that one of […]
