While the endpoint of The Walking Dead’s decade-plus television run has been visible on the far horizon for some time now, its arrival feels a lot closer with the latest reveal, a full look at the show’s final major villain, Pamela Milton. The controlling governor of the post-apocalyptic Midwest-located nation-state known as The Commonwealth, Milton
Yen Press Hayashi’s frank, guileless demeanor quietly draws the attention of classmates and strangers as he counts all the stairs in school, photographs street signs, and dries sweet potatoes on the classroom balcony. In a world shaped by conformity, Hayashi is refreshingly and unapologetically true to himself. Conversely, Nikaidou has worked very hard to perfect
As recently as September 2020 David Tennant topped a Radio Times poll of favourite Doctors. He beat Tom Baker in a 2006 Doctor Who Magazine poll, and was voted the best TV character of the 21st Century by the readers of Digital Spy. He was the Doctor during one of Doctor Who‘s critical and commercial
As a logline, it almost sounds like a comedy—the type of gonzo horror-laugh hybrid Troma would’ve made back in the day. Yet by all accounts, co-writer and director Valdimar Jóhannsson is as serious as a heart attack in his creepy new folk horror tale, Lamb, which now has a trailer to back up its premise
The Green Knight is the realization of a vision David Lowery first had at eight years old. Sort of. As the Arthurian A24 film reaches U.S. cinemas this week, it makes good on an obsession that began when Lowery saw Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade in theaters, and which stayed with him in various
A U.S. District Court ordered the forfeiture of a rare cuneiform tablet known as the Gilgamesh Dream Tablet. The tablet, which bears a portion of the Epic of Gilgamesh, originated in modern-day Iraq and was sold to Hobby Lobby Stores Inc for display at the Museum of the Bible. According to amended complaints, an antiquities

Variety is reporting that Netflix is developing a live-action Pokémon series that is currently set to be helmed by Lucifer‘s co-showrunner, Joe Henderson. We don’t know much about the show (the project hasn’t even been confirmed by Netflix as of the time of this writing), but this early report suggests that the decision to go
No matter the genre, there are always trends in the tropes or character types we see in our books. Lately, there have been several releases that feature characters who work in radio or have a love for listening to or producing podcasts. It’s not an entirely new occupation or interest to feature, but it sure
The very first Marvel movie (no, the assorted TV movies of the 1970s and 1980s don’t count, nor does the 1944 Captain America movie serial), 1986’s Howard the Duck turns 35 on August 1. That’s 35 years since the notorious, George Lucas produced movie featuring Steve Gerber’s iconoclastic and subversive Marvel Comics character flopped hard

Creating great library displays can be tough, and I’ll admit that I’m not the best at it. I’m not crafty or organised enough to ensure that my displays are rotated on a timely basis. To sit and think of a display is really tricky in my opinion, as every time I try to make one
All week long, the official Doctor Who channels have been teasing a surprise guest for this weekend’s Comic-Con@Home panel.
