TV, Luke Cage, Marvel's Luke Cage, Netflix By Chelsea Steiner on Sat,12:50 Just one week after canceling Iron Fist, Netflix and Marvel have pulled the plug on season three of Luke Cage. Big on the Internet, Avengers 4, things we saw today, trailer By Kaila Hale-Stern on Fri,6:12 We've seen supposed descriptions of what might be happening in the Avengers 4 trailer before, but this one seems like it might be viable. Big on the Internet, Fox News, racism, The Daily Show By Vivian Kane on Fri,5:57 The good folks over at The Daily Show know you don't want to watch Fox News, but maybe you want to be informed about their racist rhetoric anyway. So they went ahead and recapped it for us. TV, recaps, reviews, The Good Place By Vivian Kane on Fri,5:16 If there's one constant The Good Place has shown, it's change. This is a show that is constantly painting itself into corners only to explode the whole room (and sometimes the very reality of rooms in general). The latest episode, which is hands down the best of the season so far (and I'm not just saying that because it gave us shirtless Chidi), does that yet again, essentially resetting the entire premise. Again. AMP Featured, TV, Boy Meets World, nostalgia By Princess Weekes on Fri,4:30 This year, at New York Comic Con, the cast of Boy Meets World—Ben Savage (Cory Mathews), Danielle Fishel (Topanga Lawrence) and Will Friedle (Eric Mathews)—reunited, and it ignited all these feelings. Big on the Internet, Captain America (character), Chris Evans By Rachel Leishman on Fri,3:57 The Year of Our Lord 2018 has finally broken Chris Evans. Movies, Chris Pine, Outlaw King By Rachel Leishman on Fri,3:30 Often historical movies can feel dry and lose us in the story, but with Outlaw King, it works in terms of telling a story to a modern audience, but the tone ends up being all over the place. An overall easy watch, it tells the tale of Robert the Bruce and his journey to get the crown of Scotland, the movie goes back and forth between a love story between Robert (Chris Pine) and Elizabeth (Florence Pugh) and the history of Scotland's brief separation from England. AMP Featured, Big on the Internet, Philip Pullman, trans rights, transphobia By Kaila Hale-Stern on Fri,2:50 Philip Pullman—an Oxford-educated writer hailed as a humanist and praised as a literary luminary—actually typed out the following sentence in regards to trans people: "If someone could tell me which side I should be on, it would save a lot of worry." AMP Featured, Big on the Internet, Chuck Wendig, Marvel Comics, Twitter By Kate Gardner on Fri,2:20 So what does this all mean? It means that Twitter is terrible, first of all. News, Busy Philipps, James Franco, time's up By Vivian Kane on Fri,2:05 Busy Philipps is currently in the middle of a publicity tour for her new book, This Will Only Hurt a Little. The book is a memoir spanning Philipps' career from shows like Freaks & Geeks and Cougar Town to her more recent Instagram fame. But it's her story about James Franco that has dominated media coverage during the tour. AMP Featured, Big on the Internet, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Paul Rudd By Rachel Leishman on Fri,1:59 There is, apparently, a hidden gem in Hudson Valley, New York. Fans of Paul Rudd, the immortal god among us, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan, everyone's favorite Hot Dad, have a candy shop. (Somewhere in the distance, "Candy Shop" by 50 Cent is playing softly.) Called "Samuel's Sweet Shop," the lovely little place also features the occasional Paul and Jeffrey behind the counter. Movies, Halloween, Repo! The Genetic Opera By Princess Weekes on Fri,1:39 One of the best things about the Halloween season is that people are always exposing each other to new films related to the holiday, so for your consideration: Repo! The Genetic Opera. Big on the Internet, donald trump, Twitter meme By Rachel Leishman on Fri,1:09 Of course there's a new Donald Trump meme on Twitter. Every day, we seem to mock the president more and more (no matter how often we think there's no way to top the most recent incident), and while humor can help keep our spirits up, it does grow tiring. We shouldn't be able to mock the leader of our country so easily, and we shouldn't want to mock that person this badly. |
