I still consider myself a film critic by trade. But more and more I eat movies and TV shows for a living.A slight exaggeration, perhaps. But consuming a bunch of weird Denny’s food inspired by Josh Trank’s Fantastic Four one time ten years ago has turned into a decade of devouring bizarre dishes, snacks, drinks, and treats all based on films and television series. Do I have any regrets? Are you kidding? Of course I do! It’s pretty much all regret! But I made my bed and now I have to lie in it while digesting a Little Caesars pizza with four different flavors on…

Renowned author George R. R. Martin has written more than the Song of Ice and Fire novels, which spawned television series Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon, the latter of which promises a bloody Targaryen war when it returns for its third season next summer. That said, apart from his sprawling fantasy powerhouse, precious few of his works have been adapted for television or film. His novelette “Sandkings,” for one, was adapted for television and served as the pilot episode for the rebooted Outer Limits in 1995. Another is Nightflyers, which was first adapted for film in 1987…

Toni Collette and Andrea Riseborough shared their favorite Christmas films of all time. During a recent interview with ScreenRant’s Liam Crowley about their new film, Goodbye June, the subject of Holiday films came up. Collette and Riseborough then named two of the most heartwarming Christmas classics as their personal favorites, The Polar Express and The Muppet Christmas Carol. “I kind of really love The Polar Express, to be honest,” said Collette. The 2004 animated film follows a young boy who boards a magical train to the North Pole on Christmas Eve with a bunch of other children. Together, they encounter…

It’s been 15 years since filmmaker and TV legend James L Brooks last attempted to make a romantic comedy. The memory of 2010’s How Do You Know – a film that stumbled both critically and commercially – disappeared without a trace. So when the trailer for his new film, Ella McCay, appeared, announcing his return to the fray after a prolonged absence, anticipation came mixed with doubt.Emma Mackey, who made a name for herself on small screen hit, Sex Education, leads as a newly-elected state governor, an ambitious politician whose rapid rise is complicated by various personal dramas. In her orbit is a useless husband (Jack Lowden), a deadbeat father (Woody Harrelson), a fiercely protective…

A Hollywood icon for over 50 years has died. According to TMZ, the two victims found dead in the home of TV star and film director Rob Reiner are indeed Reiner and his wife Michele. TMZ writes, per sources, that “the two suffered lacerations consistent with a knife.” According to CNN, police are now investigating “an apparent homicide” at the home after “a family member of Reiner’s went to the house today and discovered two people dead, according to a law enforcement source with direct knowledge of the investigation.”Reiner was 78 years old. His most recent film, Spinal Tap II: The End Continues, was released just…

Editor’s note: The below contains spoilers for the IT: Welcome to Derry finale. IT: Welcome to Derry might be set in 1962, 27 years before the events of the first IT film, but there are many similarities to be found between the two. The most obvious is that Bill Skarsgård is again under the Pennywise makeup, and Andy Muschietti is involved in the creation of both adaptations of Stephen King’s iconic novel, but the parallels don’t stop there. Even our new group of Losers has attachments to the future, with doomed Teddy Uris (Mikkal Karim Fidler) related to Stanley Uris,…

Warning! This post contains SPOILERS for Absolute Batman #15 Stephen King’s Pennywise has long been one of horror’s most unsettling creations, with the new series IT: Welcome To Derry expanding his mythology even further. However, DC’s new Absolute Joker is definitely giving his fellow monster clown a run for his money. Having debuted in Scott Snyder and Nick Dragotta’s new Absolute Batman #15, the Absolute Universe’s Joker feels eerily familiar, with more than a few elements clearly being inspired by Pennywise. However, I’m honestly feeling like this new Joker may be even scarier and far more dangerous (here’s why). Welcome…

When 94-year-old Eleanor’s (June Squibb) best friend of 70 years and roommate Bessie (Rita Zohar) passes away, she decides it’s time for a change, and moves back to her native New York. In an attempt to get her out of the house and socialising, her daughter Lisa encourages Eleanor to attend classes at their local Jewish Community Centre, where she accidentally sits in on a group for Holocaust survivors. When they ask her to share her story, Eleanor (who is not a Holocaust survivor) panics, and recounts Polish-born Bessie’s story instead. She’s approached by journalism student Nina (Erin Kelliman), who wants to profile her…

Crimewave is a producer and vocalist from Bristol, known for crafting brooding soundscapes that blend industrial electronica, post-punk melancholy, and trip-hop atmosphere. Emerging from the UK underground, his sound is both futuristic and feral — a fractured reflection of city nights, emotional collapse, and quiet rage.Drawing comparisons to Tricky, Nine Inch Nails, and Salem, Crimewave turns anxiety into architecture: layers of distortion, shadowed synths, and haunting vocal mantras that blur the line between despair and defiance. His music doesn’t just play in the dark — it thrives there, building tension until it becomes transcendence.“Haemoglobin” is a visceral, slow-burning track that pulses like…
