The television industry can be brutal. Great shows are cancelled before they get to develop a following and others stick around far longer than they should leaving a sour taste in fan’s mouths. We’re here to discuss six shows that we believe deserve one last shot at glory with a follow up film to end the series on one last high note. Other topics this week include our thoughts on Gina Carano and Joss Whedon getting cancelled and our review of Judas and the Black Messiah starring Daniel Kaluuya a...

What makes a Christmas classic? Does it have to cover all the bases such as Santa Claus, waking up on Christmas morning, a soundtrack full of holiday spirit, etc.? Or does it just have to take place around the holiday season and sprinkle some of the things we associate with December 25th? This week we try to determine that answer while looking at the films we associate with the holiday, along with the films considered classics that just don’t do it for us. Other topics this week include all the ...

Some weeks frankly suck more than others. This was one of those weeks as we lost one of film’s most promising figures of the past decade: Chadwick Boseman.

It was a twenty year period filled with ups and downs, but you can’t say Fox’s X-Men films weren’t at least memorable. After kicking off the superhero boom of the new millennium, it would eventually become an also-ran to the MCU and DCEU.
