‘Sharknado 3’ Announced: Which City Will Get Hit In The Threequel? By Peter Sciretta/April 30, 2014 1:45 pm EST Syfy stumbled into a monster hit with Sharknado, a joke of a thriller created by The Asylumn — a company best known for their mockbuster direct-to-video b-movies starring c-level stars.

‘Suicide Squad’ Producer Charles Roven Talks PG-13 Rating, Jared Leto’s Joker Antics, And More By Angie Han/Nov. 12, 2015 3:30 pm EST 2016 won’t want for superhero team-ups. Marvel is assembling most of the Avengers for Captain America: Civil War, the X-Men are coming together for Apocalypse, and DC is promising the Dawn of Justice. But if supervillains are more your style, your best bet is Suicide Squad, which brings together Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie), the Joker (Jared Leto), Deadshot (Will Smith) and many more....

‘Under The Shadow’ Is This Year’s ‘The Babadook’ [Sundance Review] By Angie Han/Jan. 25, 2016 1:30 pm EST Ever since The Babadook premiered at Sundance in 2014, it feels like every new critically beloved, out-of-nowhere horror hit has been touted as “the new Babadook.” Most of the time, the descriptor is just a catchy way of saying “this horror film’s got buzz.” Many of these “new Babadooks,” from It Follows to The Witch, aren’t all that much like The Babadook at all, and — in my estimation — none of them have been quite as good....

Chadwick Boseman Wins Black Jeopardy As T’Challa On A Disappointing ‘Saturday Night Live’ By Ethan Anderton/April 8, 2018 10:00 am EST Whenever anyone says Saturday Night Live isn’t funny anymore, it’s because they tuned in on a night when the writers and cast didn’t come together for a good episode, and they used that as a judgment for the entire series. And anyone who tuned into this weekend’s episode with Black Panther star Chadwick Boseman hosting for the first time certainly got fuel for that misguided fire....

Jacob’s Dungeons & Dragons Group Reviews ‘Warcraft’ By Jacob Hall/June 14, 2016 10:00 am EST When Warcraft opened last week, the big screen adaptation of Blizzard’s opeugely popular fantasy franchise was greeted with scathing reviews from critics and lackluster box office from domestic audiences. For many viewers, director Duncan Jones’ high fantasy epic of orcs and wizards and magic and war was dead on arrival. Normal people, it seemed weren’t interested in this movie or its world....

Joss Whedon Has Some Concerns About Binge-Watching (And He’s Completely Right) By Jacob Hall/March 13, 2017 8:30 am EST Buffy the Vampire Slayer turned 20 last week, leading the entire internet to reminisce about the greatest television show of all time (the cold hard truth) and what it meant and still means to them (a great deal). In the midst of it all, series creator Joss Whedon, who has since graduated into the world of big-budget moviemaking with the likes of The Avengers, spoke about the series…which meant that he spoke about television in general…which meant that he talked about the shifting TV landscape spurred on by Netflix and binge-watching....

After the jump we’ve included 36 different items, fun images, videos, casting tidbits, articles of interest and more. It’s like a mystery grab bag of movie web related goodness....
