Mad Men Could Have Easily Ended After Just One Season AMC By Caroline Madden/April 4, 2022 8:53 am EST Known for its richly-detailed style and slow, deliberate storytelling, “Mad Men” is one of the greatest television shows to hit the airwaves, with a staggering 116 Emmy Award nominations and 16 wins. For seven magnificent seasons, Matthew Weiner’s historical drama explores the cultural upheavals of the 1960s through the specific story of advertising executive Don Draper (the perfectly cast Jon Hamm), a handsome and innovative creative director at Sterling Cooper with a mysterious past....

Dina is not a female Dwight NBC “Certainly in terms of the way I write — what I think is good, what I think is important to the story — I learned from Greg Daniels on “The Office,” Justin Spitzer told Decider. “In terms of the specific analogues, I’m always trying to push things away from feeling too much like ‘The Office.’” Many people compared the Amy/Jonah love story to that of Jim/Pam, even though their stories only share the similarity of being co-workers who fall in love....

The 15 Best Revenge Movies Ranked Warner Bros./YouTube By Gino Orlandini/April 6, 2022 3:20 pm EST The revenge genre goes as far back as ancient Greek mythology, but found a just-desserts apex in Rome through the plays of Seneca. In “Thyestes,” the eponymous protagonist loses the throne to his brother Atreus and so seduces his wife out of spite. Atreus then lures Thyestes with a promise of shared rule, but instead feeds him a dish made out of his own children....

The Action-Packed Moon Knight Finale Gives Us Major Battles And Lingering Questions Disney/Marvel By Vanessa Armstrong/May 4, 2022 12:33 pm EST The sixth and final episode of “Moon Knight” is now available to watch, and woo boy — what a tonal whiplash from the emotional journey we took with Marc/Steven (Oscar Isaac and Oscar Isaac) last week!

The Dark Crystal Could Continue If The Right Streamer Or Network Comes Calling Netflix By Jenna Busch/Feb. 11, 2022 9:42 am EST If you’re like many people, you probably binged a lot of streaming films and shows during lockdown at the beginning of the pandemic. Many people watched “The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance,” though not enough to keep the Netflix series from getting canceled after one season. Now, Netflix doesn’t release its viewership numbers, but if my extremely unscientific social media research means anything, a lot of people were upset that it was canceled....

The Northman Trailer You couldn’t take your eyes off Anya Taylor-Joy in Robert Eggers’ “The Witch” and found yourself sucked into the whirlpool of coworker tension gone horribly wrong between Robert Pattinson and Willem Dafoe in Eggers’ “The Lighthouse.” Next year, the fascinating filmmaker will be bringing Dafoe and Taylor-Joy together for a vengeance-driven Viking saga that has all the makings of Eggers’ best and most thrilling movie yet. Filmed in the midst of the pandemic, “The Northman” represents his biggest production yet, with a plot that was initially described as “a grounded story set in Iceland at the turn of the 10th century that centers on a Nordic prince who seeks revenge for the death of his father....

The Surprisingly Practical Reason Behind Doctor Who’s TARDIS Design BBC By Fatemeh Mirjalili/April 7, 2022 9:29 am EST Regardless of whether you’re a “Doctor Who” fan, you must know about the TARDIS — the blue police box that can travel through space and time, and is bigger on the inside. The TARDIS is a mainstay of “Doctor Who” and perhaps the sci-fi show’s most recognizable object; it is a time travel device used by the show’s Time Lord to go on his adventures....

This David Lynch Film Had A Major Influence On The Shining Warner Bros. By Matthew Bilodeau/Feb. 28, 2022 7:09 pm EST No one conjures up surrealist nightmares quite like David Lynch. If you’re trying to convince your significant other to not have children, fewer films will do the trick better than “Eraserhead.” Even when Lynch’s 1977 experimental horror film is steeped in its own surreal, twisted purgatory, the existential terror of unplanned parenthood is never not on full display....

Ewoks are never called Ewoks Disney Ewoks were a species of teddy bear-looking aliens that lived in trees, and who were convinced by Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) and his retinue that they should team up to fight the encroaching death machines of the evil Galactic Empire. Although referred to as Ewoks in the credits of “Return of the Jedi,” the species Luke encounters is never named on camera. The film to follow “Return of the Jedi” was called “Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure,” and there were plenty of toys besides to cement the word “Ewok” (itself derived from the Miwok tribe, with land in what is now northern California) into the mass consciousness....

Tom Cruise’s Collateral Role Flipped A Hitchcock Classic On Its Head DreamWorks By Bill Bria/June 9, 2022 11:00 am EST One of the reasons 2004’s “Collateral” was so successful critically and commercially is due to its classical nature. The film’s premise is winningly old-school in its structure: Lifelong Los Angeles cabbie Max (Jamie Foxx) is hired by Vincent (Tom Cruise) to take the man to several different locations over the course of one night....

All Of Us Are Dead Season 1 Episodes Ranked Netflix By Bee Delores/March 3, 2022 5:04 pm EST “All of Us Are Dead” is a bonafide global smash. The South Korean zombie drama became Netflix’s fifth most popular non-English series debut. There are many good reasons why the apocalyptic thriller has struck such a deep, resounding chord with audiences. From its rich exploration of Gen Z anxieties to universal themes of love and humanity, the Lee Jae-kyoo and Kim Nam-su co-directed series mines themes of death, loss, and grief in a way that feels very rooted in reality....

Ant-Man And The Wasp: Quantumania Star Bill Murray Confirms He’s Playing A Villain BAKOUNINE/Shutterstock By Deshawn “DeLa Doll” Thomas/Jan. 9, 2022 4:46 pm EST It’s hard to imagine Bill Murray, most known for his goofy good-guy roles in movies like “Ghostbusters,” playing a villain.
