15 Bob’s Burgers Side Characters We Wish Got More Screen Time By Addison Peacock/April 29, 2022 3:05 pm EST There’s a lot to love about Fox’s quirky animated family comedy “Bob’s Burgers,” from the Christmas specials, to the Halloween specials, to the Thanksgiving specials. There are a lot of holiday episodes, okay? Even beyond the abundance of yearly festivities, there’s so much to appreciate in the wacky, weird, wonderful world of Wonder Wharf....

‘It’s like a religion created by people on shrooms’ Focus Features Skarsgård wanted to explore Viking myths and legends from a historical and sociological perspective, digging deep into the way his ancestors once lived: “I wanted to have an opportunity to go deeper into the Norse mythology, really get into the headspace of a Viking 1000 years ago. How would someone like Amleth perceive the world? Can we, as an audience, see the world through his eyes?...

Disney’s Robin Hood Started As A Different, Darker Movie Walt Disney Productions By BJ Colangelo/Feb. 9, 2022 12:42 pm EST Disney’s 1973 retelling of “Robin Hood” introduced generations of audiences to the sly and suave anthropomorphic fox version of the literary hero, inspiring many to sing the song of “Oo-De-Lally” and countless others to suddenly question why they suddenly felt those feelings toward a fox. Walt Disney had wanted to adapt the tale of a wily fox who battles a corrupt medieval king as an animated movie all the way back during the making of his first full-length feature, “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” in 1937....

Doctor Strange 2 Director Sam Raimi Had One Of The Most Interesting Filmographies Of The ’90s Universal Pictures By BJ Colangelo/May 3, 2022 1:00 pm EST When directors are fortunate enough to enjoy a longstanding career, little trademarks or auteur styles have a tendency to appear. Spike Lee loves a jump cut, Michael Bay brings the Bayhem, Quentin Tarantino loves to include trunk shot camera angles, and Wes Anderson movies all look like, well, Wes Anderson movies....

Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness Conjures Up $185 Million Opening Weekend Marvel Studios By Hannah Shaw-Williams/May 8, 2022 1:10 pm EST Given how often the Sanctum Sanctorum sustains damage, no one is willing to offer Doctor Strange building insurance any more — so it’s just as well that “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” is raking in lots of money. Per Variety, the good doctor’s latest adventure has scored a $185 million opening weekend, overtaking “The Batman” ($134 million) as the biggest box office debut of 2022 so far....

Everything Everywhere All At Once Brings The Multiverse To 4K And Blu-Ray In July A24 By Rafael Motamayor/June 7, 2022 3:15 pm EST It will be hard to think of any movie as mind-bending, as plain weird and profound as this year’s “Everything Everywhere All At Once.” Daniels turned all the bizarre imagery from their incredible music videos like “Turn Down for What” and their previous feature, “Swiss Army Man,” combined them with maximalist filmmaking that you could imagine in a multi-million dollar superhero movie, and also a deep understanding of the nihilism and chaos of the internet era....

FLCL’s English Translation Was A Uniquely Tricky Process FUNimation Entertainment By Adam Wescott/March 4, 2022 6:06 pm EST I’ll be honest, I don’t typically listen to English anime dubs. That doesn’t mean that dubs aren’t important — They’re the only accessible means by which blind folks who can’t understand spoken Japanese can experience anime. They’re also the format by which anime is broadcast on television, spreading the medium to new audiences....

Heartstopper Gets A Two-Season Renewal At Netflix Netflix By Shania Russell/May 20, 2022 9:58 am EST Get ready to say “hi” to more wholesome romance and bisexual lighting — “Heartstopper” is returning for a second and third season. The news also came with confirmation that graphic novel author and illustrator Alice Oseman will return as the writer.

Hoai-Tran Bui’s Top 10 Movies Of 2021 Warner Bros. By Hoai-Tran Bui/Jan. 11, 2022 10:00 am EST 2021 — a good year for movies! Though everything else pretty much sucks, we can at least be grateful that we had a good time at the cinemas, or on our couches, in 2021. For me, this year’s best movies were about guys being dudes, wounded souls connecting or misconnecting, and our best working male auteurs saying, “Hey, men aren’t s**t....

How Diabolical Connects To The Boys Live-Action Series Prime Video By Rafael Motamayor/March 23, 2022 9:27 am EST “The Boys Presents: Diabolical” is a great example of the way “canon” limits the kind of stories that can be told. The show, an adult animated anthology set in the world of “The Boys,” presents a variety of tales that explore the ramifications of a world of corporate superheroes, telling weird, gross, obscene, hilarious stories that are only kinda, sorta related to the main show....

The nicest actor on the lot United Artists Billy Wilder’s genius in “The Apartment” hinges on his casting. For Jeff Sheldrake, the duplicitous corporate boss who plays with Kubelik’s heart, Wilder cast against type by hiring Fred MacMurray, who was best known for family-friendly films like Disney’s “The Shaggy Dog” and his role as the friendly father at the center of the TV sitcom, “My Three Sons.” MacMurray’s clean-cut, paternal looks make him all the more despicable as he strings the lovelorn Kubelik along....

Jake Gyllenhaal Didn’t Know He’d Be Doing One Of His Most Dangerous Ambulance Stunts Himself Universal Pictures By BJ Colangelo/April 6, 2022 5:30 pm EST A lot can be (and has been) said about Michael Bay’s filmography, a collection of mostly action Blockbusters and massive set pieces. In his latest film, “Ambulance,” perennial treasure Jake Gyllenhaal plays a career criminal and adoptive brother of protagonist Will Sharp (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II), who helps him commit a multi-million dollar bank heist in order to find the funds to pay for a life-saving medical procedure for Will’s wife....

John Williams Didn’t Think He Was Up To The Task Of Scoring Schindler’s List Universal Pictures By Witney Seibold/June 1, 2022 9:23 am EST Almost every one of Steven Spielberg’s films have been scored by composer John Williams. The three exceptions are 1985’s “The Color Purple,” which was scored by Quincy Jones, 2015’s “Bridge of Spies,” which was scored by Thomas Newman, and 2018’s “Ready Player One,” which was scored by Alan Silvestri....

Julia: Release Date, Cast, And More HBO By Kaylee Dugan/Feb. 23, 2022 1:27 pm EST Throw on your favorite apron, turn on every burner on your stovetop, and pour yourself a sturdy glass of wine, because Julia Child is coming back to a TV near you via HBO’s newest series “Julia.” Whether you’re a professional chef or someone who barely knows how to cook an egg, you can’t deny the charm of Julia Child, whose impact on modern cooking, and especially cooking shows, cannot be overlooked....

Entertainment By Anya Stanley/Jan. 25, 2022 5:55 pm EST The animated comedy of Friz Freleng, Chuck Jones, and Tex Avery has left its mark on the childhoods of multiple generations of kids now.

Matt Stone And Trey Parker Expected Fans To Pirate South Park — And Embraced It Comedy Central By BJ Colangelo/June 28, 2022 9:33 am EST If you had asked me in 1997 if I thought “South Park” was going to still be on the air when I reached an age to actually write about it for an online publication, I’d have asked you what “online” meant because I was in the first grade and it was 1997....

Never Have I Ever Gets Fourth And Final Season At Netflix Netflix By Ryan Scott/March 8, 2022 2:00 pm EST There’s good news for fans of Netflix’s “Never Have I Ever” today: The streaming service has picked up the show for a fourth season ahead of the third season’s debut. That’s a good sign of what’s to come. The potentially bad news, however, is that season 4 will be the final season of the show — though it does mean that the series will be able to end on its own terms instead of being cut short....
