Scarlett Johansson’s Natasha Romanoff—aka Black Widow—has an extensive history within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Debuting in 2010’s Iron Man 2, the MCU’s first female superhero would go on to feature in six other films, including The Avengers, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Avengers: Age of Ultron, Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War, and Avengers: […]
My phone buzzes with a new message. “There’s a secret show that I think you’d like to attend.” Concerts have been shut down in New York for the past year and a half, so I’m already down before I even know who’s playing. Another buzz. It’s Tyler, the Creator’s show, and he’s playing in front […]
Most of us know the story of 101 Dalmatians and remember the main antagonist of the film, Cruella de Vil; how could you forget her? The iconic theme song, black and white hair, unique fashion sense, the Panther De Ville car, her vengeful nature, and her obsession with Dalmatians. Your first exposure to this character […]
There’s a certain sense of poetic symmetry for Zack Snyder’s Army of the Dead. Long before he tumbled down the rabbit hole into the world of comic book adaptations and superheroics, the famed director got his start in 2004 with a highly well-received remake of George Romero’s Dawn of the Dead. Now, 17 years(!) later, […]
In the wake of a world-shattering event like Avengers: Endgame, the MCU has re-oriented itself, focusing on telling — for now at least—smaller-scale stories. Black Widow, Shang-Chi, and Eternals look like they’ll focus on telling tales about saving the world instead of a universe. That’s equally true for the MCU Disney+ series as WandaVision and […]
Throughout the previous installments of Warner Bros., Legendary and Toho’s MonsterVerse quadrilogy—Godzilla, Kong: Skull Island, and Godzilla: King of the Monsters—the opening credits serve as little information dumps about how humanity discovered massive monsters. It’s an effective way of world-building, allowing eagle-eyed viewers to dig into the world, should they so choose. In the opening […]
The entirety of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is often reduced to what’s next. Marvel Studios has done an exceptional job at selling their audiences on a sprawling plan, making announcements detailing nearly half-a-decade’s worth of projects—all in one go. Its understandable audiences are now conditioned to think about how this piece of interconnected storytelling fits […]
Cherry has a lot riding on its release. The Apple TV+ movie is an adaptation of one the most well-reviewed debut novels in recent memory, a way for Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame directors Anthony & Joe Russo to define their careers post-Marvel, a high-profile “serious” role for Spider-Man actor Tom Holland, a huge play […]
It was mere weeks ago that Ghetts announced he’d be releasing a new album, but with the coronavirus pandemic screwing with the passage of time, it feels like it’s been an eternity since the artwork and cryptic clues began to grace his Twitter and Instagram pages. Regardless, the point is it’s here now. In recent […]
Away from his larger projects, West London-born rapper Fredo has spent much of the last few years in and out of the charts with tracks such as “Ay Carumba” with Young T & Bugsey, “Funky Friday” with Dave, and “So High” with Mist. It was a formula that seemed to be working well for him: draw them in […]
