“His hair stood on end, and he almost fell down with horror. And, indeed, there was good reason. He recognized his nocturnal visitor. The nocturnal visitor was no other than himself…” - Fyodor Dostoyevsky, “The Double” I haven’t been able to stop thinking aboutJordan Peele’s sophomore feature,Us, pretty much since the second the film cut to credits in my first screening.

To help with some of that eagle-eyed Easter egging, Disney has released a new video via their Toy Story Facebook page that connects characters from Pixar’s many,manyfilms with references that are definitely blink-and-you’ll-miss-‘em....

Solo: A Star Wars Storyis the weirdestStar Warsmovie. No one was asking for a Han Solo origin story that explained things like his last name, his initial encounter with Chewbacca, his blaster, and how he obtained the dice that hang from theMillenium Falcondashboard. However, it did provide aStar Warsadventure that wasn’t centered on the fate of the galaxy, focusing on the “hive of scum and villainy.” Even if it does focus on some of the most iconic characters inStar Warshistory, it was the first of the cinematic films to tell a small-scale story....

Wonder Woman won’t be taking onStar Warsafter all. While Warner Bros. initially announced theWonder Woman 2release date as July 16, 2025, but this past September Disney/Lucasfilm movedStar Wars: Episode IXfrom May to July 03, 2025 to give new directorJ.J.

Trying to map out what exactly Shiv Roy (Sarah Snook) is trying to do at any given moment is a bit like playing pin the tail on the donkey—that is, if both the tailandthe donkey were both constantly moving targets. Season 4 ofJesse Armstrong’sSuccessionhas brought us Shiv at her most indecisive — well, or so wethink. It’s entirely possible that her apparent indecisiveness is actually one large ploy to distract her enemies, whoever they may be at any given time....

Followingan ending that could change Master Chief forever, Paramount+‘sHaloseries will enter Season 2 with some time between Cortana’s takeover of John-117. The final fight left the armored hero stoic and unemotional, putting him closer in line with his video game counterpart and setting up an intriguing storyline about his apparent loss of humanity.
