These achievements helped shape today for the better. While it’s absolutely necessary to celebrate these Black people and educate those who are unaware of them and their achievements, Black History Month also looks to the future […]
Fans of the CW’s Arrowverse has had the pleasure to see many good characters grow into great heroes, but it’s time to honor a very special one. In honor of Black History Month, I’ve decided to highlight one of my favorite Black characters: John Diggle. (This has Arrow spoilers, so be sure to catch up before you read!) From an […]
Since 2012, Arrow has entertained millions of viewers and paved the way for a new era of superheroes on television. The hit CW show has had its fair share of poor writing, but rest assured that the series ended as strong as it started. Directed by the now legendary James Bamford and written by co-creator Marc Guggenheim and showrunner Beth […]
The CW has managed to surpass all expectations yet again. It’s no easy feat to make a 5-hour anything consistently entertaining, but the network just does it anyway. Why? Because they can. It’s been said plenty of times about superhero live adaptations and it’ll be said again, but Crisis on Infinite Earths is truly an ambitious crossover. Marv Wolfman’s 1986 […]
To say this was an incredible decade for film is a massive understatement. With advancing technology, a profound popularity of superheroes, and more diverse filmmakers getting a chance, this decade has been a real treat for cinephiles and casual movie-goers alike. So to celebrate the new year and the new decade, here’s a list of the best movies from each […]
It was announced earlier today that a Code 8 spinoff is in the works at Quibi. Launching on April 6, 2020, Quibi is a short-form video platform backed by major studios like Sony Pictures, Walt Disney Studios, Warner Bros., and more! The Code 8 spinoff has yet to be named (I volunteer Code 9), but takes place a few years […]
It was announced earlier today that new comedy series 1% Happy will be coming to the new subscription service HBO Max! Starring Dani Fernandez from Ralph Breaks the Internet and Roy Wood Jr. from The Daily Show, the single-camera series will follow a young, clinically depressed woman visiting a weekly support group after reuniting with her distant father. Fernandez and […]
This Sunday, a crisis is coming. CW’s Crisis on Infinite Earths starts Sunday December 8th at 8pm EST with Supergirl. This is a five-night crossover based on a graphic novel that’s about a half-inch thick. After nearly six years of build up, the crossover will cover six shows: The Flash, Batwoman, Arrow, Supergirl, Legends of Tomorrow, and for the first […]
It was announced last month that BoJack Horseman would end after its sixth season, which would be split in half. The first half premiered last Friday, October 25, and the second half is set to come out January 31. The news came as a surprise to me. I knew the show wasn’t getting as much attention as the newer Netflix […]
It was announced this March that the eighth season of Arrow will be the its final with a ten-episode run. The announcement surprised many fans and critics, but ultimately appeared to be the right move. The CW series has been on the air for seven years and revolutionized superhero TV as a whole, making the specific genre more popular and […]
Think you’re tired of superhero adaptations? Think you’ve seen it all? You’re wrong. Check out Batwoman. The CW Arrowverse show twists the classic superhero tropes to make for a deliciously promising tale of a young woman struggling to find her path. It’s relatable until she just ultimately chooses vigilantism instead of community college. Set before the Elseworlds crossover from last […]
I said it once and I’ll say it again: Euphoria is a much-needed relief. The HBO show diverts from the glamorized on-screen youth we’ve seen too many times, the kind that makes us absurdly wish we were back in high school. Euphoria doesn’t fool us like that; they treat us right by showing the ugly truth about growing up in […]
*As the show does, this article mentions drug addiction, sex, and mental illness. If these topics make you uncomfortable, please do not continue reading. Thank you. To my surprise, the opening scene of HBO’s Euphoria pilot caught my attention in the best way. Dry humor, nonchalant narration, and an unexplained mental illness. It was as if a huge hand stuck […]
We all know what crowdfunding is, right? It’s when a bunch of people raise money for someone’s project. Simple enough. But have you ever seen over 28,000 people raise over $2 million USD for a full-length feature film they’ve only seen ten minutes of? That’s the magic of Code 8. And it’s real. Director Jeff Chan and co-writer Chris Paré […]
Season finales seldom do this, but Arrow’s season seven finale answered more questions than were asked. If you haven’t seen the episode yet, catch it online, and then be sure to check out this article afterward. If you have seen it, I hope you get what I’m talking about. We’ve been asking ourselves more and more questions with every episode […]
It was announced March 20 that Disney and 21st Century Fox struck a $71.3 billion deal that gave Disney’s Marvel Studios the rights to the Fantastic Four and X-Men. This is great for many reasons. For example, we could finally see Spider-Man banter with Deadpool, and no longer have to refer back to X-Men: First Class to get a decent […]
