Though the Marvel Cinematic Universe may be puttering out, the superhero genre is still alive and well on the small screen, and Netflix has dropped their latest superhero series, Supacell, just in time for summer.

With its grounded, relatable characters, clever sci-fi conceit, and layered storytelling, Supacell delivers a memorable first season, but its time-travel heavy storyline can be a little difficult to follow, even for genre vets. Luckily, you’ve got me here to help you break down all the portal-hopping, timeline altering, and power-siphoning that goes down in the Supacell season one finale.

From humble beginnings as a Dungeons and Dragons home game between friends to a full-fledged media empire, Critical Role’s flagship animated series The Legend of Vox Machina has brought the beloved first campaign to the small screen for two seasons of drama, intrigue, romance, and a healthy dose of foul-mouthed antics.

After making history as the highest-funded film/TV project in Kickstarter history, The Legend of Vox Machina was quickly scooped up by Prime Video, who not only served as distributor, but green lit a second season before the first had even dropped on Prime Video—a glowing stamp of approval if ever there was one. In the wake of resoundingly positive fan and critical reception, Prime Video similarly renewed Vox Machina for a third installment midway through the release of season two—but just how long will critters have to wait before returning to Exandria?

It’s been a rough week for WWE superstar Becky Lynch.

Having begun the week as Women’s World Champion, the seven-time WWE title holder has been center stage ever since she won April’s Battle Royal to determine who would take over as champ in Rhea Ripley’s absence. After holding the title for just over a month, Becky dropped the belt to Liv Morgan on Saturday after a tumultuous match at King of the Ring in Saudi Arabia — and after the events of last night’s Raw, it looks like Becky might be leaving WWE altogether.

It’s been more than a year since the global phenomenon first kicked off, but Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour is still going strong. Having performed more than 80 shows (and counting), part of the ongoing appeal of the Eras Tour for Swifties has been keeping track of any and all changes.

Though previously those changes tended to be minor (a new dress or bedazzled leotard here, a cut song there) Taylor surprised Swifties by majorly switching up the Eras Tour set list to celebrate The Tortured Poets Department.

As the creative title implies, Angel followed the exploits of Buffy’s first (and arguably truest) love: Angel, the immortal, broad-shoulder, ever-brooding vampire played by David Boreanaz.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer has gone down as one one the most influential, well-loved, and iconic shows in the history of American TV, and for good reason. Between genre-defining dialogue, masterfully written characters, and a cast of now-iconic performances, there’s not much Buffy didn’t revolutionize in its time. But while there’s no shortage of love out there for Buffy, not nearly as many people recognize the brilliance of (or even know about) Angel, the Buffy the Vampire Slayer spinoff.

From One Tree Hill to Riverdale and Gossip Girl, the high school teen drama has been a cornerstone of the American television landscape for decades. But across the long, melodramatic history of the teen drama genre, few shows have been as controversial and genuinely influential as Euphoria.

Written and created by Sam Levinson (a creator just as hotly debated as the series itself), HBO’s dark, boundary-pushing high school odyssey presents heavy subject matter, ambitious aesthetics, and powerful performances. Over its two seasons, the series has gained an ardent fan base, 9 Emmys, and viewership figures rivaled (at the time) only by Game of Thrones.

When Stranger Things first premiered on Netflix, it captivated audiences with its nostalgic storytelling and vivid characters, all brought to life by a crop of exciting new talent. None of these young actors have had quite the same pop cultural impact as Millie Bobby Brown, however, the then-twelve-year-old English actress playing the star-making role of Eleven.

Since then, the ensuing seasons and continued prevalence of Stranger Things as a pop culture juggernaut at Netflix continued to raise the profile of Brown and her co-stars, making them not just one-time child stars (as were so often found in the genre they’re paying homage to) but certified rising stars. But while Finn Wolfhard, Caleb McLaughlin, and Sadie Sink have geared their efforts toward acting, Brown has set her sights higher. In addition to starring in a trio of films for Netflix (Enola Holmes, its sequel, and now Damsel), Bobby Brown has served as a producer on all three films as well, expanding her influence both behind and in front of the camera.

From Dua Lipa to Lady Gaga and Halle Bailey, plenty of modern pop stars have thrown their hat in the acting ring, but while most musicians only tend to dabble in film with passion projects every now and again, there’s one chart-topper whose love affair with film has netted dozens of roles over the decades: Jennifer Lopez.

For her latest film, This Is Me… Now, Lopez steps behind the camera, serving as executive producer and co-writer as well as the star of this self-financed, $20 million dollar visual album/biopic. Equal parts music video, autobiography, and extensive therapeutic fantasy, JLo’s This Is MeNow is an opulent, self-indulgent musical fantasy that makes for a fascinating (if dizzying) viewing experience.

If there’s one thing Matthew Vaughn loves, it’s a spy story. From X-Men: First Class to Kingsman, his resume is dotted with films paying homage to the genre, and nowhere is his infatuation with espionage more apparent (to somewhat calamitous end) than in his latest flick, Argylle.

Following an introverted writer who miraculously begins to predict real-life espionage events in her books, Argylle’s entire premise hinges on one massive twist: Elly Conway is Agent Argylle. But while the Argylle/R Kyle reveal certainly makes for a memorable “WTF” moment, once you start to think critically about the implications of this story-in-a story, things fall apart, and quickly.

When it came to gaming in 2023, Baldur’s Gate 3 was far and away one of the year’s best-loved titles. With loads of lovable heroes and instantly iconic villain encounters, it should come as no surprise that there are already rumors of a Baldur’s Gate 3 TV adaptation. But is a live-action series really in the works?

Is Baldur’s Gate 3 being eyed for a live-action adaptation?

Though video game adaptations (film, TV, live-action, or otherwise) have had a somewhat rocky history, the past decade has seen some classic titles brought to the large and small screen with unprecedented success. Shows like The Last of Us and Arcane have re-ignited interest in bringing games to TV, and if rumors are to be believed, it looks like Baldur’s Gate 3 might be next on the agenda.

Masterfully combining turn-based tabletop mechanics, stunning visuals, grade-A voice acting, and top-tier character writing, Baldur’s Gate 3 has rightfully dominated 2023 as one of the year’s best gaming releases.

While there’s a lot to love about Baldur’s Gate 3, one of the game’s biggest draws is its ties to Dungeons and Dragons. BG3 employs races, gods, locations, and even a few characters from the classic tabletop entry. But while most fans probably already know BG3 uses the lore of D&D, what’s less clear is how the characters and events of the game relate to greater worldbuilding—is Baldur’s Gate 3 canon to D&D?

The recent Mean Girls movie has its ardent defenders (and just as many critics), but if there’s one thing audiences in both camps can agree on, it’s that the music is less than stellar.

The 2024 remake of the 2004 comedy classic puts a musical spin on Tina Fey’s high school comedy—taking songs written for the 2017 Broadway musical version of Mean Girls and transposing them into TikTok-friendly tracks for the new film. But while fans (especially those familiar with the Broadway show) are understandably unimpressed by Mean Girls’ musical offerings, there’s one song that rises above the rest—and it’s not even in the movie.

There’s a lot to love about Baldur’s Gate 3‘s Astarion—the perfectly coiffed hair, the bloodthirsty battle prowess, the seemingly never-ending supply of quips and insults. A character is only as good as their voice actor, though, and it’s Neil Newbon’s Game Award-winning performance that truly makes Astarion shine.

Now that Baldur’s Gate 3 has been out for five months, players who have been onboard since release have likely finished the game (sometimes multiple times over). It’s a gratifying, exhilarating accomplishment to be certain, but one that leaves a distinctly Astarion-shaped hole in your heart once the credits roll and you realize there’s no more journeying to be done with the pale elf himself.

Not only does the trailer offer hints as to the plot of the season, but it’s also full of a few key reveals—including new character art, an original song written for the season, and (of course) a release date.
