Rather than mostly focusing on Matt Damon growing potatoes on Mars, the movie from 21 Jump Street directors and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse writers Phil Lord and Christopher...

It’s been more than a year since Marvel Animation revived X-Men: The Animated Series in all of its splashy operatic 2D glory. X-Men ’97 was a triumph, not just in the Marvel canon but in an entire year of TV. As the producers and artists behind the series explain in the new book X-Men ’97: The Art and Making of the Animated Series, translating the ’90s Fox show for new...

Brahms! My boy! In the new horror sequel M3GAN 2.0, the killer robot doll from the first movie meets the memes where they live. She gets taller and faster and more fashion-forward; she flies through the air in a high-tech wingsuit; she sings Kate Bush; and, with a self-consciousness that threatens to ruin the bit, she goes on undercover missions where people say things like “M3GAN, you’re up.” As one...

The Equalizer 3 wouldn’t qualify as the jewel of Denzel Washington’s filmography, but it belongs on the crown. Skeptics: Please watch this one on Netflix before it’s gone on July 1. Washington has two Oscars and nine nominations to his name, plus multiple Tonys for his stage work, and he’s devoted a good portion of his career to bringing the work of playwright August Wilson to screens. He is rightfully...

Jonathan Bailey, who catapulted to fame in Bridgerton, wooed musical theater fans everywhere in 2024’s Wicked and this June checks a prerequisite heartthrob box of playing a nerdy paleontologist in Jurassic World Rebirth, will only earn more nerd cred with the release of a new behind-the-scenes look at his dino sequel. Loyalists and skeptics will likely melt over the just-like-us dorkiness on display in the video titled “Jonathan Bailey Joins...

Nautilus, which premieres on AMC on June 29, tells the origin story of Captain Nemo from Jules Verne’s Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas, portraying him as an Indian prince seeking to use the eponymous submarine to get vengeance against the British East India Company.

A new entry in Netflix’s Trainwreck series of documentaries must have been a difficult one to hold in: Trainwreck: Poop Cruise takes a 55-minute look back at an infamous Carnival cruise ship disaster from early 2013, when thousands of passengers were stranded at sea for days in a largely electricity-free vessel. Tensions ran high, as did the levels of waste-water that seeped onto the boat as toilets failed to flush...
