Apple has shared a new intro sound and video that will accompany things you watch on the newly-renamed Apple TV streaming service. Apple rebranded Apple TV Plus to just Apple TV last month, and the previous intro prominently highlighted the plus, so it makes sense that Apple made a new version to accompany the updated […]
For Mike Hill and Guillermo del Toro, it all started with Frankenstein. Years ago, Hill – a sculptor and special effects artist – was exhibiting his works at a convention in Burbank. Del Toro saw some of Hill’s monstrous creations on display and was so impressed that he decided to get in touch, tracking down […]
Spooky season is over, which means it’s officially Mariah Carey season. It also means streaming services are already loading up on Christmas movies. On pure principle, they’ll be omitted here – Santa doesn’t need a full two months of our attention. Also, while not a movie, worth noting that season two of The Vince Staples […]

Criterion recently kicked off its semi-annual sale that slashes the cost of all of its in-stock Blu-rays, DVDs, and box sets. The sale will last through 12PM ET, October 23rd. This a great opportunity to save on deep cuts that aren’t typically discounted. However, it likely won’t be the last chance to get a deal […]
Warner Bros. Discovery has finally said out loud what has been obvious for months now: it wants to be acquired by another entertainment megacorporation. Today, WBD announced that it “has initiated a review of strategic alternatives to maximize shareholder value” — a roundabout way of saying that the company is open to the possibility of […]
Modern gadgets are all well and good, but sometimes things get more exciting when you enter the realm of fantasy.
