Everything We Know About HBO Max’s Degrassi Series So Far WildBrain By Kaylee Dugan/Jan. 27, 2022 12:34 pm EST “Degrassi” walked so that “Euphoria” could run, so it only feels right to see the classic Canadian teen drama find a new home on HBO Max, which is quickly becoming your one stop shop for salacious teen TV shows. Who would have thought that HBO would pivot from weird sexy TV shows about adults to weird sexy TV shows about teens that are made for adults?...
For All Mankind Season 3 Teaser Reveals Premiere Date Apple TV+ By Jenna Busch/April 11, 2022 3:15 pm EST When you talk about NASA and where we go next, you might discuss the International Space Station, the politics of the astronauts forced to live in a relatively small space, and how we keep space travelers healthy in zero gravity with radiation just on the other side of the walls. However, the big question in our current time is about whether or not humans will get to Mars, and what happens if we do....

So, Who Should Win It All? Netflix On the surface, the climate change metaphor and unapologetic political commentary in “Don’t Look Up” would make Adam McKay’s latest satirical film seem like a shoo-in for Best Picture. Similar to McKay’s “Vice” (which also received a slew of nominations in 2019, including Best Picture, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Director), the film sparked plenty of debate among viewers — even McKay waded into the fray – on its way towards becoming one of Netflix’s most successful films ever....
Killing Eve Season 4 Teaser: Eve And Villanelle Aren’t Made For Happy Endings BBC By BJ Colangelo/Dec. 28, 2021 9:02 pm EST At this point, I’m starting to treat any news regarding the fourth and final season of “Killing Eve” as a personal attack, because quite frankly I am offended at the constant reminders that we’re going to have to say goodbye to Eve (Sandra Oh) and Villanelle (Jodie Comer). Well, Derek (that’s the name of the “Killing Eve” social media handler as decided by the fandom because why the hell not?...
Liam Neeson’s Best Action Movie Is The Grey Scott Free Productions By Joshua Meyer/May 3, 2022 2:00 pm EST As a casual Liam Neeson fan, it’s easy to get some of his latter-day action movie titles mixed up. There’s one where he plays a snowplow driver and another one where he plays an ice road trucker, and I’ll confess that I had a moment this week where my memory failed me about which of those was which....
It’s starting to feel like the return of cable Netflix “Those that have followed Netflix know that I’ve been against the complexity of advertising and a big fan of the simplicity of subscription, but as much as I’m a fan of that, I’m a bigger fan of consumer choice,” Hastings said. “Allowing consumers who would like to have a lower price and are advertising-tolerant [to] get what they want, makes a lot of sense....
Never Let Me Go TV Series Is Coming To FX To Shatter Your Soul On A Weekly Basis Hey, do you like being sad? Do you like being sad about books? Do you like being sad about TV adaptations of books? And, this is the last question I promise, but do you also like lowkey bragging about reading a book before it became a TV show? If you answered “yes” to literally any of those questions, then boy does FX have a treat for you!...

Star Trek Opening Credits Ranked Paramount By Danielle Ryan/May 7, 2022 8:00 am EST Every “Star Trek” series has a different theme and open credits sequence, all influenced by those that have come before. The original series featured a voice-over from William Shatner as Captain Kirk, explaining the mission of the Enterprise before the stirring music crescendos and the ship zooms off into space. Kirk’s monologue has become a part of pop culture, and each series has tried to find a way to both pay homage to the original and tell their own story....

The Ballad Of Songbirds & Snakes Teaser Invites You Back To The Hunger Games Lionsgate By Jeremy Mathai/June 6, 2022 9:44 am EST That didn’t take very long. It hasn’t even been three years since we first learned that Lionsgate wanted to get back into the business of “The Hunger Games” alongside original author Suzanne Collins — a development that had absolutely nothing to do with studios around the industry desperately scrounging around for whatever blockbuster-ready IPs they happen to have under their control in order to stay relevant, I’m sure....

A deadly trio (of agents) Netflix The Russo brothers have compared the tone of “The Gray Man” to their “Captain America” films, especially “Captain America: The Winter Soldier.” Greaney’s novel sets up a ruthless, cruel world, wherein characters can go to any lengths to protect their interests and move upwards, with little or no regard for those around them. Gosling plays Court Gentry, aka The Gray Man, a CIA operative who moves silently from one job to another, his real identity hidden in the shadows, as is expected for someone who has to often kill for a living....

The Tragic Real-Life Story Behind The Elderly Couple In Titanic Paramount Pictures By Caroline Madden/March 24, 2022 4:59 pm EST There’s a certain sequence in James Cameron’s sweeping romance “Titanic” about the famed maritime disaster that never fails to make me sob uncontrollably — choking, ugly sobs. On April 15, 1912, the “unsinkable” ship of dreams collided with an iceberg during its maiden voyage from Southampton to New York City. The majestic vessel did eventually sink, sadly taking over 1,500 lives....
The Very Meta Meaning Behind The Museum Scene In Ferris Bueller’s Day Off Paramount Pictures By Leigh Giangreco/June 16, 2022 3:35 pm EST As an adopted Chicagoan, there’s no better illustration of a perfect day than John Hughes’ 1986 teen comedy “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.” With The Flowerpot Men’s “Beat City” blaring as Ferris and his friends cruise down Lakeshore Drive, Hughes opens our eyes to the soaring Chicago skyline. We feel the exuberance of suburban high schoolers playing hooky downtown as the trio heckle batters in Wrigley Field and gaze in amazement from atop the Sears Tower....
