Just as WandaVision, for all its high-concept sitcom magic madness, ultimately lived or died at the hands of leads Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Bettany, Kathryn Hahn, and Teyonah Parris, so, too, will its Disney+ successor, The Falcon And The Winter Soldier, fly or flounder on the chemistry of series stars Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan. Luckily, that ineffable force appears to be in firm abundance in new clips released to promote the upcoming series this weekend, including a genuinely delightful...

SAS: Red Notice, Ruby Rose stated she’d “totally” be willing to return to Batwoman but doesn’t “think it would serve the story.” I mean, I’m obviously moving on to other roles as I think I’ve done about three films since. I would totally do it. I don’t think it would serve the story because I think building the new Batwoman is more important than going back too far into Kate Kane, but of course I would, I would absolutely do anything they wanted as far as that [Laughs]. I h...

5 At first, “Get Right With God” seems like it’s trying to shake up the formulaic nature of the series, by keeping our protagonist bound and drugged for the majority of the running time; unfortunately, as it unfolds, you realize that’s only partly true. Watching this show is like playing network crime drama Bingo: The pilot gave us a standard killer-of-the-week procedural; the second episode, a Law & Order-esque interrogation narrative; and last week found the show doing a gloss on the...

(Disney+, Friday, 3:01 a.m.): It’s only been a week since the finale of , but let’s face it, everyone still wants more. Disney+ is here to deliver with this new comprehensive documentary series that will go behind-the-scenes of all its MCU television shows once they air, starting with WandaVision. Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Bettany, the rest of the cast and the creative team will pull back the curtains on how the production’s surprising concept took shape by drawing inspiration from classic ...

Image: Disney Okay, honestly? It’s only 54 seconds long. But if you watch this amazing new clip from the show, it’s going to be the best 54 seconds of your day, guaranteed. Advertisement It features what Sam “Falcon” Wilson (Anthony Mackie) and Bucky “Winter Soldier” Barnes (Sebastian Stan) do best, which is banter with each other, flex at each other, and give each other shit. But this isn’t mere masculine posturing, it’s something far more sublime: I can’t decide what’s bet...

didn’t watch Disney’s well-received DuckTales revival and think, “Why is this a TV show, instead of a parody podcast mimicking the tone and cadences of long-running radio staple This American Life?” Now, at last, that Ira Glass-minded hypothetical can finally have its day in the sun, as Disney announced that, although DuckTales is done as a TV series as of its big series finale next week, it’s also set to revive itself once again, this time as a Danny Pudi-fronted podcast titled, ...

WandaVision theories drying up along with it, but a whole new sub-genre of WandaVision discussions has risen up to fill the hex-shaped hole in our hearts: the “please explain The Hollywood Reporter—including an explanation for why Evan Peters was cast as the fake version of Pietro and how Disney’s PR machine inadvertently spoiled what the writers thought was going to be a really cool twist. Advertisement As for Peters, who played a different incarnation of Wanda’s brother Pietro in Fo...

Dark Horse But despite what the title would suggest, there isn’t much of the academy to go around. Perhaps because Toph’s troubles with her school have been the subplots of earlier books, Metalbending is more focused on Toph’s internal drama—namely, that everything is running smoothly, and the routine of school is starting to sink in for her. Turning your talent into your job can be draining, and Toph is the right character to have those feelings. It’s only when she discovers that ...

episode “Trapped In The Closet” lampooned the Church of Scientology simply by stating the religion’s beliefs out loud. A bit of condensed Dianetics, some shoddy animation of Xenu, and the words “THIS IS WHAT SCIENTOLOGISTS ACTUALLY BELIEVE” flashing across the screen in all caps was all it took. Advertisement The South ParQ Vaccination Special gives a similar treatment to QAnon. When Mr. Garrison returns to teaching after his (a.k.a. Trump’s) presidency comes to an end, most of th...

Shadow recently posted an update to its blog confirming that it was undergoing a “reorganization” to get rid of the debt it had amassed building its cloud gaming platform in several countries.
