The Primetime Emmy Awards operate in a very different way than the Academy Awards. While the Oscars have a new crop of films that they nominate each year that contend for Best Picture, the Emmys tend to nominate the same shows over and over again in the Best Drama Series category. While this is justified when there’s a particularly worthy winner likeThe West Wing, The Sopranos, Breaking Bad,orSuccession, some shows went their entire run without even getting nominated for the top prize....

Despite being about people fighting to survive thezombie-infested hellscape of a post-apocalyptic America (and featuring stellaractionscenes to make itsvideo gameroots come to life), the strongest element of this show lies in its characters. Specifically, its two main characters: Joel and Ellie, played by the talentedPedro PascalandBella Ramsey.

The success of The CW’s superhero action dramaArrowbuilt the foundation of multiple spin-offs, giving DC fans a TV universe featuring over five different series. With famous DC heroes like Superman, The Flash, Green Arrow and Supergirl in attendance, it’s safe to say the collectiveArrowversesaw its heroes share the screen withplentyof interesting characters. After ten years, seven series andhundredsof episodes later… we’ve seen DC legends rise and fall. Although it keeps on growing (a third season ofSuperman & Loiswas just ordered at The CW), not every character’s story in theArrowversedid them justice....

Now thatBlack Pantheris a bonafide success after its first historic weekend at the box office, new details are starting to emerge about everything from action sequence breakdowns, to scene-explainers, to just how the film fits into the greater Marvel Cinematic Universe. (For a timeline that stretches from before the creation of the universe to the present day,click here.) And as long as you’re all caught up on the events ofCaptain America: Civil War, it won’t come as a surprise to you that, at the end of that film, Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan) traveled to Wakanda “on ice” to wait for their scientists to find a cure for him, yet Barnes was noticeably absent inBlack Panther....

Hulu is dropping some series coin again this year to preview an upcoming series during the Super Bowl. Last year’sThe Handmaid’s Talespot was an eerie, dystopian glimpse that was so at odds with the tone of our Super Bowl gathering (at least at that time - RIP Falcons) that everyone just needed to pause and take stock afterwards. The new trailer forCastle Rockmay not shake people up that much this year, but it still could creep them out....

Life comes at you fast. If you’re old enough to rememberDariaand the cultural domination of MTV’s glory days, then you already know that because the last five years have been nothing but an onslaught of nostalgic callbacks, each one bringing you ever closer to the icy grip of death. Today’s reminder of your mortality and the relentless passage of time comes courtesy ofEntertainment Weekly, which has debuted a set of drawings fromDariaco-creatorSusie Lewisand character designerKaren Disher, imagining the characters from the iconic 90s TV show as they would be today....

Warning: Avengers: Infinity War spoilers are discussed in this interview. I’ve been very lucky over the past decade to have the opportunity to speak with all kinds of people in Hollywood, so believe me when I tell you thatDave Bautistais one of the nicest and most grounded actors working today. Case in point: about a week ago Bautista was in town for 24 hours to promote his new movieHotel Artemis. While I wasn’t scheduled to talk with him because he was only doing on-camera and I was doing print interviews the following day, he offered to fit me into his packed schedule during the only time he had: his lunch break....

Compared to say,Avengers: Endgame, the cast of the new Disney+ seriesWandaVisionis pretty tiny, but that just gives each character living in this strange sitcom world more of an opportunity to capture our imagination. Thus, making a massive impression in the first episode wasDebra Jo Ruppas Mrs. Hart, wife to Vision’s (Paul Bettany) boss Mr. Hart (Fred Melamed). Of the cast, Rupp was by far the most at home during the making of Episode 1, which in proud classic TV tradition was filmedin front of a live studio audiencewith multiple cameras… until, that is, things start to get a little weird, as Wanda’s (Elizabeth Olsen) improvised dinner party takes a dark turn....

As summer vacation heats up, our complicated reactions to the coronavirus pandemic and worldwide shutdowns stay complicated. But one thing is simple: Disney lost a ton of money as a result. Per their earnings report, Disney’s theme park unit, home of such summer vacation mainstays as Disneyland and Disney World, lost $1 billion in its second quarter earnings as a result of the coronavirus shutdowns. Now, before you start throwing Disney a pity party, the corporation as a whole still earned around $18 billion in revenue during their second quarter – which is, y’know, a little more than I have in my pocket right now....

“The Earth’s Strangest” heroes are getting their first live-action treatment whenDoom Patrolhits the DC Universe streaming service on February 15. The show is a decidedly wonky,wonderful delightfrom the character designs, to the performances, to the mysterious donkey who appears at the end of the premiere to literally discharge an ominous message from its ass. (The show is weird, people!) But I also understand that the members of the Doom Patrol—who have been around sinceMy Greatest Adventure #80in June 1963—aren’t as immediately recognizable as the Clark Kents and Bruce Waynes of the world....
