Editor’s note: The below recap contains spoilers for A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Episode 3. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms may seem like it’s just begun, but Episode 3, “The Squire,” marks the halfway point with a major reveal about Egg’s (Dexter Sol Ansell) identity. Throughout the first two episodes, Dunk’s (Peter Claffey) character has been a kind, if occasionally awkward, man, but Episode 3 cements him as the kind of hero Westeros needs. The latest episode picks up the morning after the first joust, following along the hedge knight’s journey. Though it leans into Episode 2’s easy…

Long before Oscar Isaac’s portrayal of Victor Frankenstein attracted rave reviews, he played a version of the same character equally well in Ex Machina. Oscar Isaac’s best movies and TV shows often involve him playing tormented and secretive characters, like Annihilation’s Kane, so it is not surprising that he is excellent as an over-ambitious scientist who is afraid of his own creation. Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is arguably the earliest sci-fi story, and Frankenstein has inspired many movies over time, with Ex Machina being a modern retelling. Ex Machina follows computer programmer Caleb, who is invited to the remote home of…

He gets by with that hardman loner perennial, a chess set, as well as regular deliveries of porridge and vodka via boat from an old army…

Data from FlixPatrol shows significant interest in the show after it entered Paramount+’s top ten in the last week. Given that the Western drama aired roughly five years ago, this resurgence proves the Yellowstone universe’s ability to remain entertaining even after a series finishes its run.

Set in…

The basic premise of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy involves bright young things of the 32nd century being put through their paces on the path to becoming Starfleet officers and representatives of the Federation. Naturally, then, the new series has certain aspects in common with other school-based movies and TV shows from across the years. Caleb Mir certainly has a sprinkling of Zack Morris about him. But it seems to be Harry Potter that Starfleet Academy bears the strongest resemblance to, with the hallowed halls of the James T. Kirk Pavillion standing in for the grandiose architecture of Hogwarts. This isn’t…

Amid…

Vocalist Mykl Barton describes the track…
