  • ‘Game of Thrones’ S6 E8 Recap: Jaime and Brienne Gone Fishin’

    For a storyline that was so mind-bending, Arya’s back and forth struggle with the Faceless Men and the House of Black and White seems to have ended in a pretty straightforward way.

  • Why X-Men Movies Work, Even When They Don’t

    It was the year 2006. I was sitting next to my girlfriend as the theater became darkened and the movie began to play. I was hyped up for this movie like I never had been for any other movie in my young 21-year-old life. I did not even care that my girlfriend was with me….

    Warning: Spoilers for Episode 2 of AMC’s Preacher Two weeks ago, I wrote an article in response to the Preacher premiere. I was underwhelmed, to put it bluntly. This was a series I had been waiting on for years. Preacher was, and is, one of the greatest comics ever published. The story, the characters, and…

  • Bill Skarsgård to Play Pennywise in ‘IT’ Remake

    When you think of handsome Swedish vampires, the next thing that comes to mind is killer clown, right? Of course not. You’re normal.

  • ‘Game of Thrones’ S6 E7 Recap: Release the Hound

    We got a rare pre-credits scene this week on Game of Thrones. I guess we shouldn’t be surprised when it was used to reveal that a presumed dead character, Sandor Clegane/ the Hound, is alive.
