The CW's latest plan to regain relevance is, uh, true crime? - The ...

We are officially living in in a world with a post-Arrowverse CW, and the network—with its new owners, Nexstar—is focusing in on its vision for a future free from superheroes, Winchesters, and… you know, other shows that people actually liked. A few months ago, The CW got in bed with a certain reputation-laundering golf tour, an explicit nod to Nexstar’s goal of skewing more closely to its ideal viewer (58-year-old men with bad taste), and now we know the next phase of its plan: Getting into tru…

This week's scandal surrounding BBC news anchor Huw Edwards ... - T...

For nearly a week, England’s most prestigious—or at least most omnipresent—news organization, the BBC, has been embroiled in a prolonged scandal, and one that has felt at least a little more prolonged because of how gradually any information about it has been released. It began last week, when British tabloid The Sun published a story claiming that an unnamed “presenter” for the BBC (a term that would cover any kind of host for various kinds of shows) had been accused of paying thousands of doll…

Just recently we had that whole global pandemic, an insurrection partially thwarted only by the incompetence of the conspirators, and that terrifying video of the cop flying way too fast down a slide. Plus, everyone knows you can bop a shark on the nose and get it to back off, and we have clear evidence that there are easier ways to die in th…

Louis Leterrier shares plans for the canceled Incredible Hulk 2 - T...

There was once a time—before Thor: Love And Thunder and before there was a whole Ant-Man trilogy—when Louis Leterrier’s The Incredible Hulk was regarded as the most forgettable entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe canon (and not just because they recast the main character for The Avengers, making its status in canon questionable for a time). But now, Leterrier has opened up about what was being discussed for a potential Incredible Hulk 2, and it sounds like we could’ve had a whole bunch of a d…

Marvel's TV experiment wasn't a failure until Marvel decided it was...

In a surprising move for the generally confident and difficult-to-maneuver battleship that is Marvel Studios, the company today announced that it is going back to the proverbial drawing board on Daredevil: Born Again, its reboot (of sorts) of Netflix’s Daredevil series with stars Charlie Cox and Vincent D’Onofrio returning to reprise their roles as Matt Murdock and Wilson Fisk. Half of the show’s first season was mostly finished before the WGA strike put everyone on pause, and now head writers C…
