To say thatThe Sopranosis one of the most influential television shows in history would be a dramatic understatement. HBO’s reputation for creating expertly-written, dramatically challenging shows that pushed the boundaries of acceptable content emerged thanks to the success ofThe Sopranos, which managed to deliver a criminal epic on the level ofThe GodfatherorGoodfellasto viewers weekly. Beyond its expert craftsmanship,The Sopranosbecame must-watch television due to theshocking twists and turnsthat so frequently occurred. While many quintessential installments changed the show’s narrative moving forward,the Season 3 episode “University” contained an act of violence that was disturbing even byThe Sopranos’standards....

Crime cinema is one of the most important subgenres in the film industry, as it has been steadily evolving for well over a century. Although cinema first began to lionize the criminal lifestyle thanks to a series of gangsters filmsduring the “Golden Age of Hollywood,”the perspective on crime began to evolve during a transcendent period in the 1970s in which films likeThe Godfather, Taxi Driver, Serpico,andDog Day Afternoonwere hailed as being some of the greatest of all-time....

These seven new films toHuluthis month explore the depth of familial and otherwise social relationships with prodding, akin to starting a fire in the coldest of winters. While some of these films dip into work bonds and others into the intimate sphere, all engagements are fraying or frayed, so what we see are the cracks on display. There are a few films that expand this inquiry, querying humans’ relationships to nature and animal life....

Face it: we already live in the future. We’ve got robot cars and computers in our pockets and Large Hadron Colliders and we aren’t stopping anytime soon. The sci-fi movies of yesterday are still wonderful but the sci-fi movies of the 21st century have face an impossible challenge: the future we could envision in the year 2000 is, in many ways, radically removed from the future we envision today, and many of the technologies we now take for granted were a pipe dream only 20 years ago....

A2022 Vanity Fair articledetailingElisabeth Finch’s story exposed the most recent scandal.

To be perfectly honest, I was not looking forward toThe MagiciansSeason 5. The Syfy series has long been one of my favorite shows on television, even moreso when it started leavingLev Grossman’s phenomenal source material behind and began carving out its own path. But the Season 4 finale, in which the show’s lead character Quentin Coldwater (Jason Ralph) sacrificed himself to save his friends and thus exited the series, broke my heart....

It sure sounds like it based on the comments Grillo, who starred inThe Purge:AnarchyandThe Purge: Election Year, told Collider in a recent extended interview forNo Man’s Landwith our own Steve Weintraub.

When Collidervisited Pixar Studiosto learn as much as possible aboutToy Story 4, there were two words we heard more than anything else, possibly even more than Woody and Buzz, and those words were “Bo Peep”. The character voiced byAnnie Pottshasn’t been since 1999’sToy Story 2, but the new film brings her back in a big way, better and dare I say more badass than before. A ton of thought went into exactly how Bo should return; we saw entire walls of early concept ideas that ranged from a Bionic Bo to a Post-Apocalyptic Bo, alongside reference photos likeDaisy Ridley’s Rey fromStar WarsandUma Thurman’s Bride in theKill Billfilms....

It’s been a long vacation, but it’s time to get back to work at Lumon Industries asSeverancehas finally returned forSeason 2. The series is known for building suspense in the workplace unlike anythingon TV right now, thanks to the unique work dynamics implemented at Lumon, like the severance procedure. Another of those is the Overtime Contingency Protocol,a dangerous measure that the innies from Macrodata Refinement learn about at the end ofSeason 1, prompting a great cliffhanger right as the season ends and hinting at disastrous consequences for the company....

Spoilers for the first episode ofThe Falcon and the Winter Soldier. One of the tricky things about superheroes is how closely you want to place them into the real world. One of the strengths of Marvel Comics’ superheroes is that they exist in our reality, or at least have to deal with real-world issues — like Peter Parker struggling to pay rent. The Marvel Cinematic Universe has leaned even further into this by noting that none of their heroes (since the ending ofSpider-Man: Far From Home) has a secret identity, which means they essentially live in public as celebrity superheroes....
