The Spider-Man: No Way Home trailer finds Peter Parker looking for a way to make everyone forget his secret identity, at the cost of losing MJ’s memories.

Raji harnesses Hindu stories, creating a grand adventure

Chosen One of the Day: Robert Pattinson’s Batman smokey eye
The much, much awaited trailer for Matt Reeves’ The Batman dropped this weekend at the DC FanDome, and look, a lot happens in it. But I want to talk about Robert Pattinson.

RPattz was going to be RBats?? → Read More
Chosen One of the Day: Bill Hader not rereading It
I am, admittedly, not a horror fan. I don’t like being scared, I don’t need other stories to get in my head and freak me out. But you know what? I almost saw It. The cast seemed great, and Stephen King’s a good writer, right? OK, I’m lying, the real reason I almost saw It was because of this interview Bill Hader gave while promoting It: Chapter 2. → Read More

Chosen One of the Day: Olaf coping in Frozen II
Early on in Frozen II, Elsa sings another b*tchin’ song connecting with — you know what, it doesn’t matter. Through a series of events, the entirety of Arendelle is forced to flee from their homes as a mass disaster strikes the kingdom. Does this sound familiar?

Chosen One of the Day: The moon in Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask
Nintendo’s Legend of Zelda series is at times sweet, at times dark, at times strange, and at times absolutely g*ddamn terrifying. We’ve talked about Majora’s Mask, the follow-up to 1998’s critically-acclaimed and much lauded best-Zelda-of-all-time Ocarina of Time, before. It’s a critical darling in its own right, but it is a weird, weird game. Ostensibly, you get transported to another world and → Read More
