Secondly, we’re doubling down on the fact that we’re no longer willing…

As things currently stand, the animated series is guaranteed another three seasons of 10 episodes each, and there’s also been talk over the years about bringing these characters to the big screen. According to series co-creator Dan Harmon, Zack Snyder wants to help make a Rick & Morty movie happen, and while Harmon’s idea for the filmmaker’s involvement may be jokey, I’d…
Even the harshest critics of found-footage have to admit that the sub-genre excels when immersing viewers directly into the horrors of a scary story instead of having them be passive observers. Funnily enough, this is the same reason why horror is such a great fit for videogames, with the added interactivity making it easier to feel like you’re in danger alongside the protagonists instead of simply watching them from afar. That’s why I find it baffling that so few developers have managed to take advantage of the similarities between these two mediums when coming up with new horror experiences. While…

This past summer, Barbie took the cinematic world by storm, earning critical acclaim, becoming the second movie to cross $1 billion following The Super Mario Bros. Movie, and now ranking as the highest-grossing of the 2023 movie releases. One of the big reasons for its success is the chemistry between lead actors Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, and while there aren’t any plans for them return for Barbie 2 at the moment, that doesn’t mean the actors are done working together. Not only are Robbie and Gosling still set to reunite for the Ocean’s Eleven prequel, it sounds like they’re…

Comic artist Adam (Augustus Prew) is no stranger to internet trolls working for Buzzfeed, but one day, he hits his limit and fires back. His…
