JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure is officially coming back for another season. Considering the series’ massive popularity, it’s not exactly a surprise that the anime is set to return, but the confirmation is always nice. The new season, which will be the sixth of the anime so far, doesn’t have a release date yet, but the announcement did come with a short trailer. While the trailer only gave us the year the...

The Last of Us is all about big action. Disgusting zombie attacks. Failed protective acts. Successful ones that cost too many lives. But in the season 2 premiere, The Last of Us managed to give us its best scene yet with the smallest of gestures — and, in the process, tell us more about Joel than he ever could.  [Ed. note: This post discusses the scene in question, which is...

The Last of Us season 2 has finally arrived, and the first episode shows a world that’s just as brutal as we remembered it. There’s already some rageful mourning, power struggles, betrayal, and a new type of infected for Ellie to contend with, and that’s just in the first hour. But episode 1 also has a twist you might not have been expecting: a peaceful town that seems genuinely nice...

The Last of Us seems to introduce a new type of infected — new, at least, to people who have yet to play developer Naughty Dog’s video game. It’s early on in The Last of Us season 2 when Ellie and Dina, on patrol, enter an abandoned grocery store to pick off a couple infected. When Ellie falls through the second-story floor and onto the main level, she quickly realizes...

Andor, the best Star Wars show to date, is set to return for its second and final season on April 22. A lot of people are excited about it, not the least of which being Andor showrunner Tony Gilroy, who has gone so far as to describe it as “the most important thing [he’ll] ever get to do in terms of how much imagination went into it.” That enthusiasm is...

Hollywood has finally cracked the code on making movies based on video games, at least from a box-office perspective. The Super Mario Bros. Movie, the Sonic the Hedgehog trilogy, and A Minecraft Movie have grossed billions combined since 2020. Whether they’re good movies is up for debate. Critically, TV seems to be where game adaptations are shining; Fallout and The Last of Us are legit prestige television, likely in part...

There’s only two episodes of Witch Watch out right now, but I’m certain that the character I relate to most isn’t bubbly teenage witch Nico, her stoic ogre familiar (and childhood crush!) Mohito, or any of their classmates. It’s actually their homeroom teacher, Ms. Makuwa — who in addition to having to wrangle a class full of magical teenagers, also has to pretend to be #cool in front of them. ...

There are more Doctor Who companions than there have ever been Doctors, and while they’re all unique in their own ways, there’s still a familiar pattern: The Doctor as the mysterious alien with the keys to all of time and space, and the companion as the eager adventurer, ready to be whisked away to a life of glorious discovery and thrilling peril.  But this weekend’s premiere episode of the show’s...

It’s hard to imagine the beloved blockbuster disappointment A Goofy Movie without the distinct voice Disney fans have associated with him since Pinto Colvig originated the character in 1932. But according to Disney Plus’ Not Just a Goof, a documentary that dives into the making of the 1995 cult classic for its 30th anniversary, there was a moment where it looked like Goofy wouldn’t be able to keep his iconic...

In The Wheel of Time’s very first episode, trollocs attacked the quaint farming village known as the Two Rivers, calling on the might of five tethered teens and a determined Aes Sedai (Rosamund Pike) to keep their humble home from falling in the carnage. Of course, ill-prepared and overwhelmed farmers were no proper army then, and it took Rand (Josha Stradowski), Mat (Barney Harris, now played by Dónal Finn), Perrin...
