The Oscar season is a-coming! And as the gallery of predictive award ceremonies like the Golden Globes and the PGAs announce their winners and nominations for the best of film in 2020 (and, um, some of 2021; it’s a weird award season!), one more potentially rabble-rousing organization has made their selections known. TheDirectors Guild of America(DGA) has listed their nominations for both best director in film, but also best first-time director in film....

It’s an unspoken rule in the world of comic books that very few characters — especially in the Marvel and DC universes — die and stay dead. Nowhere was this rule more prominent than with Wolverine,as his mutant healing factor makes him virtually immortal. He’s survived a nuclear explosion, being crucified, and theAdamantiumbeingripped from his bones.Logandefied traditionwhen it was released, showing a Wolverine whose healing factor was dimming, and the film eventually killed him off, endingHugh Jackman’s tenure as the clawed Canadian (until he returned forDeadpool & Wolverine)....

The FX drama seriesFargois back for another season and an all-new “true crime” case. Set in 1979 in Sioux Falls, South Dakota and Luverne, Minnesota, it follows young State Trooper Lou Solverson (Patrick Wilson), recently back from Vietnam, as he investigates a case involving a local crime gang, a major Mob syndicate, and a small town beautician (Kirsten Dunst) and her husband (Jesse Plemons).

Huzzah and kudos, Netflix hasfinallyconfirmed that we are getting another season ofGLOW. The streaming giant announced today that the series will be back with 10 episodes (“soon”), and it’s about time. As I wrote in myreviewof the second season, the show (which took some time to win me over in Season 1) is one of TV’s most joyous, full of positive – although not uncomplicated – portrayals of female friendship, alongside hilarious, badass, and sometimes intensely emotional storylines....

One of the more brilliant ideas to bear the name ofDan Harmonisn’t an animated comedy series like the fan-favoriteRick and Mortyor a live-action cult classic likeCommunity, but a blend of both approaches with a dash of D&D-esque flavoring thrown in. This isHarmonQuest. As Harmon himself self-deprecatingly admits at the beginning of every episode, he’s not the star of the show; that honor falls to dungeon master and co-creatorSpencer Crittenden, who literally holds the fate of the role-playing game’s characters in his dice-rolling hands....

ScreenwriterAlex Garlandis no stranger to Hollywood having penned the scripts for films likeThe Beach,28 Days Later,Never Let Me Go, andDredd, but he only just got behind the camera himself for last year’s terrificEx Machina, which he wrote and directed.
