The superhero adventures of fighting supervillains in outer space had resonated with enough people that the character got his own not-too-serious animated talk show in the 1990s. Space Ghost Coast to Coast was a late-night talk show featuring the fictional character interviewing real people for comedic effect. Several gags and awkward seconds of silence were the…
The mega box-office hit Spider-Man: No Way Home was a big win for Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures.

David Cronenberg’s work has been synonymous with the body horror genre for decades. Cinephiles and even typical moviegoers know the director/writer/sometimes actor. You know what you’re getting with one of his movies, and sometimes you should bring a barf bag if you have a weak stomach. Finally, Brandon Cronenberg—David’s son—has begun carving his place in cinema. After his 2012 film, Antiviral and 2020’s Possessor, he’s back with Infinity Pool, and the movie states that Brandon is here and has some twisted shit to share.

It’s 2023, and with every awards season—more importantly, The Oscars—comes the Razzies. The annual event showcases the worse in cinema, whether streaming or in theaters, and usually causes controversy.

This year will mark the 43rd Annual Razzie Awards, and the nominations were announced on Monday. Some nominees include projects such as Netflix’s Blonde, Bryce Dallas Howard…
Writer, producer, and sometimes actor Kenya Barris has been one of the focal points in current Black entertainment and entertainment in general. Barris has used his talent as a writer and producer on hit shows like the Black-ish franchise and BlackAF to make a statement on African-American culture and how other cultures view this group. Many of the films he’s worked on continue to share the same sentiment with movies like Barbershop: The Next Cut and Coming 2 America. However, his directorial debut, You People, fails to bring anything new to the table and causes the comedy to land with…
If you’re a 90s kid—and I mean before 1999—then you’re aware of the Patrick Swayze, Demi Moore, and Whoopi Goldberg supernatural romantic film Ghost. The movie did gangbusters when released and even garnered an Oscar for Goldberg for Best Supporting Actress and Best Screenplay for Bruce Joel Rubin.
