It’s almost time. In a few days we will be introduced to the last Defender, Iron Fist, and get that much closer to seeing the entire team assembled together on the small screen. After two seasons of Daredevil and the introduction of Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter) and Luke Cage (Mike Colter) to the streets of NYC, it is time to see the last hero take his place in the Marvel Universe....
With season 2 of Legends of Tomorrow, DC Comics’ original superhero team, The Justice Society of America, arrived on the CW. While it wasn’t their first appearance on-screen (or even on the network), it served as the television debut for several classic characters, as they fight alongside our time-hopping heroes and protect the universe from temporal threats. Black Adam arrived in theaters in October 2022, and with the new movie, the Justice Society returned....
The world of television production is one of the most highly-competitive and high-pressure environments in the world - and the CW network is no exception. Standards are high and actors are frequently expendable in the face of a multi-million dollar production. While some actors may be in high demand and forced to make a choice between projects, many of them do not leave their series on good terms. In fact, a goodly portion of them were fired from the shows they starred in....
One Tree Hill was an iconic show that ran for a whopping 9 seasons. It did a good job of epitomizing trends of the early 21st century – crop tops, web cams, and pop punk music – while at the same time continuing classic themes from dramas and soap operas since the beginning of television – sibling rivalry, betrayal, and extremely moody and troubled protagonists. One Tree Hill was one of those television shows that went on for way too long, but that we watched until the very end....
Every great hero needs a great villain. Audiences are supposed to support the protagonist as he or she defies the odds and the weight of expectation to triumph. But often, the bad guys are magnetic, powerful, or just plain crazy enough to pull viewers’ eyes and interests away from whatever’s happening with the hero. Pushing a villain into over-the-top territory is a risky move, as it can so quickly backfire if the writing, direction, or performance misses the target in any way....
The Marvel Cinematic Universe has been running rings around the DC Extended Universe for several years now, but DC properties have had a far longer run in terms of movies and television shows than the ones created by Marvel. The first true blockbuster superhero movie belonged to DC in the form of Superman: The Movie, while the Batman movie that was released in 1989 proved that darker tales could be told using established characters....
Science fiction television existed even before most people had televisions– the BBC ran a televised version of a sci-fi stage play called R.U.R. all the way back in 1938, which is generally considered to be the first time sci-fi was ever broadcast anywhere on TV. In America, sci-fi made its television debut in 1949 via the futuristic adventure series Captain Video and His Video Rangers, which ran through 1955. That said, it was during the 1960s that sci-fi television really came into its own, from Star Trek to Doctor Who to The Twilight Zone....
The CW has produced so many of television’s most beloved shows. Originally created as a result of the merger of UPN and The WB, who made hit shows like Buffy The Vampire Slayer, the new network was exclusively geared towards teen drama. It’s now a hub for superhero dramas as well as soap operas. The network has a vibe that doesn’t necessarily fit in anywhere else on television. The shows are quirky, melodramatic, and tend to be slightly cheesy, but it’s a formula that typically works....
Formerly known as Musical.ly in the US, Chinese social media network TikTok has had a meteoric rise, becoming an endless source of creative short sketches, similar to the even shorter Vine skits. It is best known for its act-out and lip-synching memes backed by music and other sound clips, which are reproduced and remixed among its young users. That’s also why it is often referred to as the lip-synching app....
Prince’s Warner Brothers catalog hit Apple Music early last year, but that left many of his albums missing. That’s been corrected today, thanks to an agreement between the Prince’s Estate and Sony Legacy Recordings … Variety reports that 23 albums issued between 1995 and 2010 have been issued in the first round, with more to follow. There’s also a brand new compilation album. The full list of newly available albums is:...

Major superheroes from dark alternate timelines populate the powerful villains fans could soon see as the multiverse expands in the DCEU....
Big Little Lies is one of the most talked-about shows on television right now. The acclaimed first season followed the lives of five very different women and their families in a rich California society. As the characters deal with their complex and often dark personal lives, there is also a murder at the center of it all. The intrigue and drama continue in Season 2 with the notable addition of Meryl Streep to the already impressive cast....
One of the earliest Peak TV offerings, The Wire is a gritty, dramatic series with widespread critical acclaim and a devoted fandom. It is set in Baltimore and each season focuses on a different aspect of the city and its relationship with the justice system, including the illegal drug trade, schools, and the media. While the series was praised throughout all five seasons for its storytelling and realism, fans were still disappointed by the fact that it ended and they had to say goodbye to the show and their favorite characters....
When the nominations for the 37th Golden Raspberry Awards were announced last month, there wasn’t much to be found in the way of surprises. As expected, such lambasted films as Zoolander No. 2 and Hillary’s America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party are among those competing for Worst Picture honors, while Dirty Grandpa’s Robert De Niro and Suicide Squad’s Jared Leto have been nominated in the assorted acting categories....

Fans of the show are presented with an overwhelming myriad of mysteries. For five long years, you have waited patiently for the show’s creators to offer any tiny scrap of revelation....
Doctor Strange’s body has been weird for more than fifty years. In comics, Doctor Strange debuted in 1963. In Marvel Universe continuity he’s been fighting evil the same amount of time, predating the Fantastic Four and the Avengers. Doctor Strange moves through a incredibly weird world, so it’s no surprise his body is a little freaky too. In a sense, Stephen Strange’s entire history revolves around his body. As a genius neurosurgeon, he defined himself by hands that worked medical magic....
