| Movies, John Wick, John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum, Keanu Reeves By Chelsea Steiner on Thu,1:55 There are action films. There are hitman films. And then there's the John Wick saga: a nonstop extravaganza of bullets, bad guys, and the deadliest man alive who just wants to live in peace with his damn dog. Read More > Movies, Avengers: Endgame By Rachel Leishman on Thu,1:50 The new teaser for Avengers: Endgame brings back some of those we lost, and now that we've listened closely, one thing is very clear. Read More > Movies, contributors, movie review, SXSW By Valerie Complex on Thu,1:26 Teen Spirit, Max Minghella’s debut feature at SXSW, isn’t unlike anything you’ve seen before, narratively or aesthetically. Themes of youth and fame come up, wrapped in visuals akin to Nicholas Windin Refn’s The Neon Demon, and while Elle Fanning pours her heart into every performance, neither that, the film’s stylish visuals, nor boisterous pop songs could save it from ultimately being hollow. Read More > TV, Schitt's Creek By Rachel Leishman on Thu,1:22 Just when we all jumped on the Schitt's Creek bandwagon, we have to say goodbye so quickly to the show that meant so much to us. Read More > TV, Justice League Unlimited, Shazam, Superman By Princess Weekes on Thu,12:57 With my excitement about Shazam, I've been revisiting some of my favorite DC animated series episodes, and Justice League Unlimited has some of my favorite adaptations of classic comic book stories, but one of my favorites is the episode "Clash," which adapts the fight between Superman and Captain Marvel/Shazam. Read More > Movies, Rogue One By Kate Gardner on Thu,12:17 Really, ending on a wedding instead of six funerals wouldn't have made any sense, and this is from someone who actively reads "everyone lives" fanfiction. Read More > News, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Fox News, Latinx, Laura Ingraham By Vivian Kane on Thu,12:07 Earlier this week, Fox News' Laura Ingraham and conservative lawyer and conspiracy theorist Joe diGenova mocked Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for the way in which she pronounces her own name. Read More > News, 2020 Presidential election, democrats, John Hickenlooper By Chelsea Steiner on Thu,12:02 When he first joined the race, many of us were like, "who is John Hickenlooper?" Now, I'm feeling more like, "why is John Hickenlooper?" Read More > Movies, Avengers: Endgame By Rachel Leishman on Thu,11:49 The official synopsis for Avengers: Endgame from Marvel came out and it is pretty much exactly what you'd think out of Marvel. Read More > TV, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel By Princess Weekes on Thu,11:25 Mrs. Maisel is a fun, compelling, goofy ball of a show, and I'm glad it exists. Just because it's not perfect doesn't make that untrue. Read More > Big on the Internet, Castle Rock, Elsie Fisher, Lizzy Caplan By Vivian Kane on Wed,6:18 Lizzy Caplan and Elsie Fisher will lead the Misery-based season. Read More > Movies, Christopher Nolan, Elizabeth Debicki, John David Washington, Robert Pattinson By Kate Gardner on Wed,6:03 Don't expect much by way of spoilers until the film's release day. Read More > Big on the Internet, Danger Girl, Jeff Wadlow, things we saw today By Chelsea Steiner on Wed,5:58 The whole thing has a very 90s feel to it, especially the lack of women behind the scenes. Read More > News, Hamilton, Lin-Manuel Miranda By Princess Weekes on Wed,5:37 Using 'Hamilton' and what it has meant for Black and Brown audiences as a justification for a flimsy First Amendment argument is frustrating because once again it is an attempt to take something made by a marginalized group in response to their marginalization and using it against other people of color. Read More > Movies, Captain Marvel (movie), Shazam, Zachary Levi By Chelsea Steiner on Wed,5:11 If you're are a lady whose expressed opinions about Captain Marvel on the internet, chances are you've been trolled by some neckbeard angry about girls ruining his comic book movies. Read More > Movies, Avengers: Endgame, marvel studio, parody By Kaila Hale-Stern on Wed,4:44 Can you believe, despite all of Marvel Studios' secrecy, that I managed to find a scene from the much-anticipated Avengers: Endgame script while scrounging through Mark Ruffalo's trash in the West Village? Read More > Big on the Internet, frivolous lawsuit, Parodies, Republicans, Twitter By Vivian Kane on Wed,4:24 Until yesterday, I didn't even know there were Devin Nunes parody Twitter accounts, and I don't know how Nunes could possibly have thought that throwing a fit about a Twitter account pretending to be his cow might have gotten people to pay less attention to it.
