Big on the Internet, Funko, Gargoyles By Princess Weekes on Tue,11:02 Yesterday, Funko released their video preview of the upcoming Gargoyles pops and I think I cried/screamed and gasped all at the same time. AMP Featured, Movies, Bohemian Rhapsody, Freddie Mercury, Rami Malek By Dan Van Winkle on Tue,10:15 Was it really only months ago, in the fall of 2017, when the first image of Rami Malek as Queen lead singer/absolute legend Freddie Mercury blew us all away? It feels like forever ago, not just because of how time seems to have come to a standstill lately, but because, while Malek certainly looked the part, we were all waiting to see if he would sound it, with the movie's appropriately unique approach to capturing Mercury's unique voice. Comics, exclusive, kamala khan, Marvel comiXology Original By Princess Weekes on Tue,9:55 Marvel ComiXology Originals is wrapping up the series Avengers: Back to Basics with issue #6, which is available exclusively digitally, on ComiXology and Kindle, tomorrow, May 16th. TV, Betty Buckley, Supergirl (TV show), Supergirl recaps By Teresa Jusino on Tue,5:18 This week's Supergirl is all about protecting Ruby from a Reign who's determined to claim Sam by killing "her heart." It's also all about lies: the lies we tell each other when our relationships are strained, and the lies we tell to protect each other. Episode 18 of the season examines the idea that lying to those we care about never ends well, whether well-intended and "for good reason," or not. [**SPOILERS AHOY**] TV, deadly class, Syfy, the russo brothers By Kaila Hale-Stern on Mon,7:11 Avengers: Infinity War directors Joe and Anthony Russo are shepherding Rick Remender's brutal coming-of-age comic to the small screen. Big on the Internet, Airbnb, disaster relief, Hurricane Maria, Puerto Rico, relief efforts By Teresa Jusino on Mon,6:08 Have you been thinking about taking a trip to Puerto Rico? Well, Airbnb definitely wants to encourage your travel dreams. While they've already been contributing to Puerto Rico relief post-Hurricane Maria, providing places for people to stay as hotels recovered, now they're doubling down on their support, donating their cut of Puerto Rico bookings in their entirety to relief efforts. TV, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Marvel Entertainment, things we saw today By Kaila Hale-Stern on Mon,6:05 Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was by no means a sure bet for renewal at ABC, but the show squeaked by under the ax and will be returning! Big on the Internet, Immigration, Tomi Lahren, xenophobia By Vivian Kane on Mon,5:24 In Lahren's case, the "everyone's an immigrant" argument is especially true. And Genealogy Twitter is handing out the receipts. Big on the Internet, Childish Gambino, feminism, Nicole Arbour By Teresa Jusino on Mon,5:23 YouTube comedienne Nicole Arbour must have missed all the attention she got the last time she created a video based on ignorance. Back in 2015, she made this fat-shaming video that demonstrated that she clearly didn't know how things like "comedy" and "satire" work. Now, she's released a new video demonstrating how little she understands about "feminism" and "parody." News, black twitter, meghan markle, The Royal Wedding By Princess Weekes on Mon,4:55 Full disclosure: I'm excited about the royal wedding. AMP Featured, TV, contributors, Fox, LGBTQ Representation By Sarah Barrett on Mon,3:33 The Last Man on Earth is a show so profoundly weird that it almost defies description. Even its title was no longer accurate after the pilot. The show eventually stopped being about a guy trying to get laid in the apocalypse, and instead became a strange, sad, fart-joke-laden meditation on the nature of isolation and loss. News, Lois Lane, Margot Kidder, Superman By Princess Weekes on Mon,1:48 Actress Margot Kidder, who is most well known for her role as Lois Lane in the best Superman movies, passed away yesterday at the age of 69. AMP Featured, Gaming, capitalism, Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery, mobile games By Vivian Kane on Mon,1:31 If you're not willing to spend a ton of money, it takes multiple hours to finish a task that has at most a couple of minutes of simple gameplay. It's incredibly frustrating. Even worse, it's boring. TV, diversity, inclusion, LGBTQ Representation, Sarah Jessica Parker, Sex and the City By Princess Weekes on Mon,1:05 In this Broad City, Insecure, Atlanta world, what would the women of Sex and the City look like if they were written today? AMP Featured, TV, NBC, Timeless By Kimberly Terasaki on Mon,12:17 With "The Watergate Tape," the show that had spent its first five episodes upholding the white, male historical narrative began to subvert it, which it's been doing wonderfully ever since. |
