Yesterday, a short clip from the upcoming Ghostbusters: Afterlife introduced the Mini-Pufts, miniature versions of the classic Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man that terrorized Manhattan back in the original 1984 movie.

Godzilla vs. Kong's High-Speed Hollow Earth Trains Are the Dream
One of the first things that gives away how disappointing Godzilla vs. Kong’s focus on humanity will be is the way the movie seemingly foregoes any sense of internal logic, moving characters like Millie Bobby Brown’s Madison Russell from one location to another faster than a human could reasonably travel.

I've Been Wrong About Scream 4 for 10 Years
It took me 30 minutes to remember who the killers were in Scream 4. That’s how long it had been since I’d seen it, let alone thought about it.

Among the many, many bombshells dropped in Tuesday’s revelatory, distressing Hollywood Reporter exposé on more of what Ray Fisher dealt with, both during and after Justice League, were allegations that Bridgerton star Regé-Jean Page had not been cast as Superman’s grandfather Seg-El in the 2018 Syfy series Krypton…

General Grievous' Clone Wars Debut Remains a Masterclass —But Not for the Reason You Think
Genndy Tartakovsky’s Star Wars Clone Wars micro-series is remembered—deified even—for its action. It is all killer, no filler: the dialogue is spartan, its themes layered but simple. This is Star Wars and you are here for tight, explosive, bombastic action unlike anything the franchise had dared to dream of before,…

Made for Love Is All About Escaping the Tangled Web of Other People's Minds
Though HBO Max’s new series Made For Love, an adaptation of Alissa Nutting’s 2017 novel of the same name, is charged with the same foreboding dread about a technology-saturated near future that’s present in Black Mirror, the show imagines a hero who has enough sense to understand how messed up the world she lives in…

Hunting for Pokémon Cards Has Become a Different Kind of Game
A few weeks back, during a particularly unremarkable late night of insomnia-fueled doomscrolling, a notification slid its way onto my phone’s screen that quickened my pulse and dilated my pupils. For the next few minutes or so—there was no way to be sure for how long—the long out-of-stock Pokémon cards that I, and…

Mystery Science Theater 3000 Is Coming Back—Again
In 1997, Mike Nelson and his robot friends, Tom Servo and Crow T. Robot, watched a bad sci-fi film called The Thing That Couldn’t Die. We might as well rename the beloved TV series Mystery Series Theater 3000 with the same title, because the fan-favorite show looks like it’s almost certainly going to be resurrected…
