Created byFamily GuywritersMike Barker,Matt Weitzman, and co-creatorSeth MacFarlane, this show about the hilarious escapades of an ultra-conservative CIA agent living with his dysfunctional family and an outrageous alien has managed to stand out from other of MacFarlane’s projects over the years.

Being one of the most popular superheroes of all time,next to the likes of Spider-Manand the Avengers, it only makes sense that considerable care, money, and dedication are poured into his films. Thus, it’s safe to say Batman’s big-screen efforts have some of the best action sequences in superhero cinema. Batman is special because he’s powerless....

Over the last four decades,Tim Burtonhas established a curious career, which is fitting for a filmmaker so invested in the unusual. Once the preeminent auteur of gothic outsider angst, Burton’s signature stylistic indulgence became both the calling card for his “brand”, so to speak, and its greatest weakness. Burton has always functioned at a somewhat singular middle ground, right on the line of mainstream and niche (hence his Hot Topic popularity), and that unique sensibility has led to a one-of-a-kind career that has established him as a brilliant but inconsistent filmmaker....

In addition, Serkis talked about why we haven’t seen much from his version ofThe Jungle Bookyet and when he found out thatJ....

While there’s no denying that Marvel hasa pretty deep cast of likable charactersin their roster, the majority of them are fairly simple in their appeal.They tend to not have a level of complexity that matches real human beings, and usually have internal lives that become fairly played out fairly quickly. That’s why it’s such a breath of fresh air thatThunderbolts*brings us Bob (Lewis Pullman) and how it fills out his character....

Assassin’s Creedremains Ubisoft’s most popular and recognizable video game franchise, so it’s no surprise that the French company is pushing ahead with plans for future adaptations. The live-action feature film starringMichael Fassbenderdidn’t light up the box office here in the States, but its foreign take of over $240 million was respectable. As of November of last year, Ubisoft CEOYves Guillemotmentioned the possibility of a Netflix series in apress briefing. The understanding at the time was that it would be a live-action series, but now it’s looking likeAssassin’s Creedmay just get the animated treatment after all....

This year has been particularly difficult for trans people.Roughly 300 bills introduced across 36 states seek to curtail the rights of trans peopleto obtain medical care, play sports, access public restrooms and other sex-segregated facilities, update birth certificates, and exist in public schools. This Pride month, the best resistance we can mount to this wave of transphobia is to celebrate trans stories. Television as a medium for trans representation has not always done the community justice, leaning into harmful stereotypes of trans people as either predators or victims....

NateMoorehas been a producer on Marvel’sCaptain America: The Winter SoldierandCaptain America: Civil War, but his biggest project to date is also the biggest milestone for the MCU:Black Panther.His excitement was palpable during our visit to the set with a group of journalists last year, and fans' anticipation for the Marvel movie has risen to match it. And with good reason. Moore was happy to answer all sorts of questions aboutBlack Panther, from its origins in the pages of Marvel comics and which writers and artists inspired the film’s look, to the incredible cast and the bigger-than-life characters they’ll play on the screen, to the timely social context of the film and how it will both honor the character’s legacy and feel like a contemporary story, without being too on-the-nose about anything politically....

When people think “from the creators ofThe Good Wife,” or just CBS programming for that matter, one doesn’t tend to conjure thoughts of a political satire where space ants oust people’s brains, or make their heads explode. But that is precisely whatRobert and Michelle King’s creationBrainDeadbrings to the table, as a kind of mashup between an earnest pod people thriller and a scathing Washington commentary. BrainDeadstars national treasureMary Elizabeth Winsteadas Laurel Healy, an unsuccessful documentary filmmaker (she has great ideas, but lacks funding) from L....

The story ofColin Kaepernickis one that inspires and infuriates me in equal measure. He was drafted into the NFL as a backup quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers in 2011. The following year, he became the 49ers' starting quarterback, and led the team to their first Super Bowl appearance in many years. He is, by all accounts, an excellent quarterback, one who should’ve enjoyed as long a career in the NFL as he wanted....
