This article contains Last Night in Soho spoilers. Thomasin McKenzie’s Eloise Turner is a young woman who’s always been haunted by ghosts.

This Legends of Tomorrow review contains spoilers. Legends of Tomorrow Season 7 Episode 3 What DC’s Legends of Tomorrow just pulled off should be impossible. Usually milestone episodes are treacly retrospectives, bordering on clip shows, that are self-congratulatory throwaways. They’re not supposed to be high points of the entire series. But that’s exactly what Legends
This week brought “critical race theory” (CRT) into an even broader spotlight as politicians in two states, Virginia and Texas, have turned to using this term and the desire to keep so-called CRT out of the hands of impressionable children for political gain. In many ways, both campaigns follow the same trails that the Satanic
This Star Wars article contains spoilers. The morality of the Jedi is an oft-debated part of Star Wars lore. Are they divinely appointed arbiters or inept police officers? What is the nature of the Force, and why does it have a light side and a dark side? The new novel Star Wars: Ronin answers these

Zack Snyder’s Army of the Dead universe is expanding, and not in all the ways you expect. The first movie, which involved time loops, robots, aliens, and even copulating zombies, unsurprisingly left viewers with lots of questions, but don’t expect this universe’s sophomore outing to deliver any of the answers you’re looking for. Instead, Army

This article contains Dune spoilers. At a glance it feels like we’ve seen this song and dance before. An army of white-armored soldiers stand in perfect square formations beneath the comings and goings of Offworld spaceships. They’re soldiers; the supposed elite; the Emperor’s very own Sardaukar hit squad. But to anyone who’s watched a Star

When Carnival Films adapted Death of Kings (the sixth book in Bernard Cornwell’s Saxon Stories series) they – probably wisely – left out a scene in which Uhtred of Bebbanburg is drugged in a witch’s cave and sexually assaulted by a goddess of the earth. Season three had plenty going on without that little adventure.
Halloween draws near and what better time than this frightful festivity to hunker down with a good love story…featuring a corpse or two, of course. It may sound a bit macabre (because it sort of is). Regardless, I’ve noticed an interesting trend haunting the literary world of late: love and murder. That’s right, I’m talking
