Are you still down for a 'Mindhunter' Season 3?
It's been almost 6 years since Netflix released?Season 2, and there are?still?people (including me) waiting for?Mindhunter?Season 3, despite the streamer, the actors, and even creator David Fincher all either being silent or actively asking us to move on. I know it's hoping against hope at this point — it's likely dead. But this was not only a great series, it was one where we would be perfectly fine catching up with these characters 7, 10, 15, or more years down the line. Most of the characters are clearly FBI lifers, and even if, say, Anna Torv doesn't return, as long as Jonathan Groff, ideally Holt McCallany, and David Fincher sign up, we're good to go. After all, even though there have been fewer and fewer active serial killers in the U.S. over time thanks to a lot of factors, they've never gone away. You still down?
Should Fast & Furious 11 bring back Paul Walker for a cameo?
The Fast & Furious franchise is speeding towards its finale and that kind of begs the question: Should the family bring back Paul Walker's Brian, even for a moment or two??We've already seen that something like this is possible at the end of?Furious 7. As well,?his brother, who helped out with the completion of?Furious 7?after Walker died in 2013,?has made himself available for more assistance even as CGI has taken massive leaps forward in the last 10 years. Personally, I understand that the whole issue is a bit ghoulish and may be seen as disrespecting Walker's memory. Still, if friends and family were on board for a cameo, I would be, too, if it were handled tactfully. Thing is, we already got exactly the goodbye we wanted at the end of?Furious 7.?While there are a lot of issues with bringing Brian back, my main one is that?Furious 7?did it so well, we just don't need it.?
After 'Deadpool & Wolverine,' who do you want to be in an MCU 'Blade' movie more, Mahershala Ali or Wesley Snipes?
So, in?theory, the MCU?Blade?movie with?Mahershala Ali is?still?coming, though with a carousel of incoming and departing directors and several rewrites, it's officially in development hell and years behind schedule. In the middle of all this, we got?Wesley Snipes doing a pretty solid job reprising his role as the vampire hunter in?Deadpool & Wolverine?last year. Even though we were all excited to see Ali as Blade when it was first announced — honestly, great casting — after all the delays, who would you want to see take on the role in an MCU movie now: Ali or Snipes?
SPOILERS: What the heck just happened in the ‘Silo’ Season 2 finale?!
OK, time to break down the Silo Season 2 finale: ???????? ?????! After the events of “Into the Fire,” there’s a lot to unpack — but the biggest revelation is about the Safeguard. We finally learn (well, most of) what it is, as Juliette returns and the rebels successfully seize control of Silo 18’s upper levels. This move directly challenges Bernard’s unwavering belief in his power and what that means for the silo. However, our heroine’s fate remains unclear after her tense confrontation with Bernard in the incinerator. Is she alive? And what about Bernard? Meanwhile, the finale’s final minutes take us back to pre-apocalypse Washington D.C., where Congressman Daniel (Ashley Zukerman) and The Post reporter Helen (Jessica Henwick) appear to be on a date. But soon, we realize there’s much more to it — the pair discusses a radiological attack by Iran or another foreign threat, which links them both to the creation of the silos and hints at a far-reaching conspiracy. With subtle references l
Why isn't Sophia Lillis as big as Millie Bobby Brown or Jenna Ortega?
A few years ago, you might have guessed that Sophia Lillis would be raking in the bucks, big roles, and huge public attention that, say, Millie Bobby Brown or Jenna Ortega are now. There was?IT?and the $702 million it made. There were?Sharp Objects, Nancy Drew and The Hardy Boys, the?unfairly cancelled I Am Not Okay With?This,?the small but effective?Gretel and Hansel?from Oz Perkins, and?more. There was her talent, her obvious pluck, and so many other things going for her. And, yet, here we are with only a solid role in?Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Theives?and?Adults?to show for it. Why isn't this obviously amazing actor getting the same success?
What is the best David Lynch movie to watch first?
Like many people, my first experience with Lynch was watching Twin Peaks. Unfortunately, I made the foolish decision to hop right into Eraserhead immediately afterwards – and let’s just say, I was not emotionally or physically prepared (so much…bodily fluids. And what the hell is that baby made out of? Why won't he tell us? I'm losing sleep over that disgusting thing). Eraserhead may be quintessential Lynch – and it may be an awesome, disgusting, trippy journey – but for new Lynch fans, it might not be the way to go. My recommendation, like many others, would be Blue Velvet – relatively straightforward narrative that isn’t hard to follow, plus a brief taste of the nightmarish surrealism that is David Lynch. I’d also recommend for any fans – beginners or die-hard followers still waiting for the man to return to his daily weather reports – David Lynch: The Art Life, a dreamy documentary that is the closest I personally have ever gotten to understanding what the hell is inside that man’s
After his 'Deadpool & Wolverine' cameo, who should Henry Cavill play in the MCU?
Henry Cavill seems down to move on from all the DC stuff and Warner Bros. seems?very?down to never work with him again. He's got a lot of things brewing, but we all know that — if he's into it — he would put it all on hold for the right MCU role. So, what's it gonna be? A second go as?Cavillrine? Could be cool, but I think he'd be good elsewhere, too. Cyclops, the?real?Doctor Doom (don't tell me they're gonna use Robert Downey Jr. the whole time), a new Magneto, Mr. Sinister, Mephisto, Ghost Rider — there's a lot of ways this could go here. Got any more? ?
Is Aliens better than Alien?
One of the seminal rules in the movie industry is that sequels almost always fail to live up to the original. However, there are exceptions to every rule; The Dark Knight, T2, The Godfather Part 2 all proved to do the opposite. However, one of the most hotly contested topics has been whether the sequel to Ridley Scott's iconic horror, Alien, was better than the original. Personally, I always found that Aliens took the concept of the original and just improved on it by showing us the full force of what "the perfect organism" is truly capable of. The action, tension and effects all get heightened to a level that makes Aliens a must-watch film for any sci-fi or film fan in general. What are your thoughts?
Paddington Is the Best Movie Trilogy Since The Lord of the Rings
Paddington in Peru premieres this week, bringing the titular loveable character back to our screens. To the surprise of many, this beloved, marmalade-loving bear has led three movies, each one as good as the previous one. In fact, the three?Paddington?movies comprise possibly the best movie trilogy since?Peter Jackson's?The Lord of the Rings. A few other worthy contenders have come out, most notably the?Planet of the Apes?reboot trilogy and the unofficial Oslo trilogy, but?Paddington?is something else entirely. Whereas other trilogies started off good and got better with each installment, eventually reaching greatness,?Paddington?has been great since the start. Much like Jackson's first visit to Middle-earth, Paddington?is the only modern series that has been incredible from the get-go, consistently maintaining a high level of quality throughout. What do you think? What's your favorite movie trilogy?

MoreWould you watch a 'Nosferatu' sequel or prequel?
Despite being around for 104 years or so, there's never been a proper sequel to any proper?Nosferatu?film (I'm not getting into all the weird, little stuff that's been made over the years). This despite the?huge?number of versions of Dracula.?Now that it's a qualified hit at the box office after establishing a strong world and vision, you sort of have to wonder if it would be possible to make a sequel, prequel, or any kind of spin off from the 2024 version by Robert Eggers. Do I think it would happen? Probably not. Doesn't seem like Eggers' style. Do I think it would be a "good" idea? Not really. Narratively, a prequel is certainly possible, but?Nosferatu?said what it was going to say. It doesn't need to do more. Would I watch a Robert Eggers-directed,?Bill Skarsg?rd-starring second movie if it happened to come out. Yes, 100%
Who would you like to see grace ‘The Graham Norton Show’ red couch?
After Conan O’Brien, one of my favorite talk show hosts is Graham Norton! Not only is he a genius when it comes to asking the most entertaining and insightful questions, but he also has a natural, genuine chemistry with his guests that makes every episode both exciting and hilarious. Recently, Norton told This Morning that he’d love to have Brad Pitt on the show. After years of hoping for Julia Roberts, he finally got her on the couch for Season 31, alongside Tom Hanks, Timothée Chalamet, and the legendary Cher. If Norton does manage to land Pitt, who would you love to see him paired with? And if you’re not a fan of Pitt, who would you want to see on the beloved red couch instead? Moreover, if you are not a fan of Pitt, who would you like to see that has never before been on the show?
What's your pick for the greatest fantasy book series ever?
Look, obviously we've still got George R.R. Martin's unfinished?A Song of Ice and Fire?series out there hanging over our heads. Elsewhere, there's the Pern books (if you consider that Fantasy), the Wheel of Time, Discworld, and a whole host of other multipart epics that are at this moment collecting dust read or unread on our shelves. For me, though, none is as well written, deep, and inspiring as the good, old, Lord of the Rings books from?The Hobbit?all the way to all the spiraling short stories, poems, and addendum J.R.R. Tolkein spun together. Yeah, it can get exhausting, but without them, we just don't have most of the Fantasy books, movies, and shows we have today.
Who's side are you on in 'The Shining' debate — Stephen King's or Stanley Kubrick's?
Stephen King has never been — and probably will never be — fully silent about his feelings towards Stanley Kubrick's The Shining. Despite it being considered one of the best horror movies of all time (and one of the best adaptations of a King book of all time) he's slighted it many, many times over the years, decrying that it didn't match his vision and that Jack Nicolson's take on the lead, in particular, was all wrong. Granted, it's a pretty one-sided fight given that Kubrick is dead and probably wouldn't care all that much even if he weren't. Still, it goes on. So who do you side with, the brilliant director who made a masterful film, or the masterful horror writer who's peeved his brilliant novel didn't wind up on screen the way he intended??
Did Tony Stark see Aubrey Plaza's Lady Death at the end of 'Avengers: Endgame'?
Like, it would make sense, right? In?Agatha All Along, Rico — aka Death, aka Aubrey Plaza being her best self — makes it clear she comes for everyone and Tony Stark?did die at the end of?Avengers: Endgame. But does Lady Death always look like Aubrey Plaza in a green dress? Unlikely. I don't think the universal concept of morality looks the same — either in the MCU or the Marvel comics — for everyone. Aubrey Plaza isn't likely to be the spirit at the gateway between life and death for, let's say, a creature made of massive green tentacles. In the comics, she adapts somewhat, showing up in different forms. So, yeah, I think Death was there for Iron Man — but maybe not?that?version of Death.?
Which Sitcom Had the Very Best Arc?
From?New Girl?to?Schitt's Creek, the last two decades have been very kind to sitcom fans. But I'm curious to know what everyone's all-time favorite arc has been in a sitcom. I personally really loved Alexis' narrative arc in?Schitt's Creek, particularly with her relationship with Ted, but I think my all-time favorite arc in a sitcom is Nick and Jess' feelings realization in?New Girl. No matter how many times I watch it, I still feel the same way about them and their relationship! So, what's your favorite arc??
How in the hell is Batman alive at the end of 'The Dark Knight Rises'?
Spoilers for a 13-year-old film: At the end of?The Dark Knight Rises, we see Batman — Christian Bale — fly off into Gotham harbor in The BAT with a nuclear weapon in tow. He saves the city from the explosion but, seemingly to all on the ground, dies in the effort. Soon after, a grieving Alfred is seen at what he previously said was his favorite café in Florence and, echoing the dream he talked about earlier in the film, sees Bruce Wayne with Selina Kyle, apparently alive and well. They nod and, again per Alfred's dream, don't say a word to each other.? Now, some have stated that this scene is a continuation of Alfred's fantasy and that Batman truly is dead. But not so fast. When Lucius Fox first introduces Bruce to The BAT flying vehicle, he states that the team was never smart enough to get the autopilot to work. Bruce smiles to himself. In the aftermath of Batman's apparent death, Lucius discovers that, indeed, someone has been tampering and experimenting with the autopilot system.

Should Moana 2 have stuck to the original Disney+ plan?
Moana 2 was originally meant to be a series of episodes on Disney+, initially announced as part of an ambitious streaming strategy from the House of Mouse. Plans changed during production where they changed the series into a full-fledged theatrical release... and after watching the final product, it really shows that this story was intended to be seen on the small screen. While the epic scope and oceanic stakes of the film come across in the finished product, I still can’t help but feel that this story would have been better suited for its original platform. The side characters were not fleshed out as they could have been across multiple episodes, and the cliffhanger left me wanting for immediate resolution. Did Moana 2 miss the landing?

What Is Your Most Anticipated Movie of January 2025?
While January is often one of the most disappointing months at the movies, January 2025 doesn't look quite as bad as previous years. Only three days into the new year, well-received movies like?The Damned?and?Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl?are being released. Throughout this month, we'll be seeing critically acclaimed movies finally getting wider releases, like?Hard Truths,?The Last Showgirl, and?September 5, exciting horror projects like Wolf Man?and?Steven Soderbergh's?Presence, and big 'ol action movies like?Den of Thieves 2: Pantera,?Flight Risk, and?Back in Action. But in the first month of the year, we want to know?what is your most anticipated movie or this January? For me, it's quite easily?Companion?by writer-director?Drew Hancock. The first teaser was unsettling and super strange, and the cast alone made me want to check this out, including actors like?Sophie Thatcher,?Jack Quaid,?Lukas Gage,?Rupert Friend,?Jaboukie Young-White, and?Harvey Guillén.?Companion?looks lik
Gi-hun is going to become the Front Man in Squid Game Season 3
Season 2 ended on such a wild cliffhanger that I'm already dying for Season 3. My wildest theory is that Gi-hun is going to end up as the Front Man in the final season. I know — it's a bold prediction! But hear me out. Considering In-ho was a previous game victor, it's not out of the realm of possibility. Gi-hun felt he had to go back into the games to shut it down — maybe he realizes he needs to go on the other side of things to finally accomplish that goal, pretending to play along before switching up and killing the VIPs like a reverse In-ho. Or perhaps, because of all the trauma he's gone through and loss he's experienced, he gets jaded and embraces the darkness. It could be a fascinating arc for him. What do you think?
Will the dirtbags of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia fit in at Abbott Elementary?
When I first heard of the upcoming crossover between Abbott Elementary and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, I was caught between anticipation and curiosity. How exactly could the Gang be roaming the halls of a grade school? And how hilarious is this going to be? It's a little worrisome considering the tone of It's Always Sunny, which has taken the arrogance of the Seinfeld dynamic to depraved levels, and putting them in the thoughtful, yet contemporary, perspective of Philly's favorite classrooms. Will this be a tonal mismatch? How can we expect the Sunny cast to behave within the standards of network television? Will they be watered down to a degree that makes the characters whom we love to loathe unrecognizable? The first preview for the episode on ABC gave me some hope, as I got a real kick out of seeing Charlie glancing at the cameras. I'm just not sure this can work for a whole episode, let alone two... I hope I'm wrong.
If You Could Live in Any Fantasy or Sci-Fi World, Which Would It Be?
Middle-Earth, Oz, Narnia, The Star Wars Galaxy, Pandora... fiction is full of truly imaginative and incredible worlds that completely differ to our own. That begs the question: if you could live in any of them, which would it be? While most are filled with magic and wonder, a lot of them come with many dangers that we don't face in our world. That is why I think the answer has to be the world of Pokémon. A world with limited danger that is filled with magical creatures just waiting to be taken on an adventure. Do you agree? What's your answer?
James Gunn, you better not make Robert Pattinson's The Batman a part of the DCU...
After James Gunn confirmed The Batman Part 2 was delayed for a full year — meaning we won't see it until at least 2027 — rumors began to erupt that there could be plans to make Robert Pattinson's version of Bruce Wayne a part of the budding DC Universe. But knowing Gunn already announced plans for a Batman and Robin film (The Brave and the Bold), any attempt to put these pieces together is evidently not part of the original plan. And while someone could come up with a great idea to bring it all together (please, leave the Flash out of it), it would rob Matt Reeves' interpretation of the Caped Crusader of the crucial element that works so well. The film's gritty, noir-soaked realism would be severely undercut if we learned meta-humans who wear red underwear are soaring the skies with cape-clad super dogs. Please trust the audience because we can handle two different Batman characters. We grew up on superhero comics, cartoons, and now decades of reboots and crossovers. Let Reeves cook...
Do You Think Avery Will Keep the Baby When 'Doctor Odyssey' Returns Next Year?
We are approximately three months away from?Doctor Odyssey?returning to our screens, and I am still thinking about the way that mid-season finale ended! I had a lot of issues with the way the series handled Avery throughout the entire first half of Season 1, and a big part of that was because her motives were always whatever served each episode's plot. The throuple was a lot of fun, but now she's pregnant with Tristan?or?Max's baby—and she has a decision to make. If she keeps the baby, she can still go to medical school and attain her goals, but raising a baby on the open seas isn't ideal. But it does sort of fall in line with the series' love for pulpy nonsense. So, what do you think? Will Avery keep the baby? Have an abortion? Give it up for adoption? Have a miscarriage? What do you think?Doctor Odyssey?is going to do with this plotline??
Who Do You Think The Mysterious Captain That Crashed on At Attin Is in 'Skeleton Crew'?
Last week, we learned that the notorious pirate named Captain?Tak Rennod was SM-33's previous captain, and the one responsible for finding At Attin and presumably crash-landing?the?On Cinder?on it. But?Star Wars: Skeleton Crew?didn't show us what Rennod looked like. In fact, the series made a point of hiding his true identity. Which has led to a lot of speculation about?who?Rennod is—and if we may have already met him. After landing on At Attin, did Rennod decide to stick around? Is he secretly Neel's dad? Or maybe part of the government? Who do you think Captain Rennod is? Or, do you think he's just a giant red herring??
Which Character Are You the Most Excited to See in Action After the 'Superman' Trailer?
Earlier this month,?James Gunn?dropped the first trailer for his highly-anticipated?Superman, and?it delivered on?so?many fronts. From showcasing how much chemistry?Rachel Brosnahan's Lois Lane has with David Corenswet's Clark Kent (and Superman) to teasing Nicholas Hoult's Lex Luthor and revealing how perfectly goofy Nathan Fillion's Guy Gardner looks. I am personally really anxious to see Lois Lane in action when the film comes out next year, but now that I've seen Krypto—I cannot wait to see that pup on the big screen! Which character are you the most excited to see in theaters next year??
Which 2024 Movie Didn't Get Enough Hype This Year?
As we reach the final day of 2024, I've been thinking a lot about the movies that came out this year, and—in particular—the films that just didn't get enough love. My favorite underrated film of 2024 was?Lisa Frankenstein. Hitting theaters back in February, the romantic horror comedy was primed to be a Valentine's Day date movie hit, but no one seemed to appreciate Diablo Cody's brilliance or Zelda William's impeccable direction. Understandably, it was a movie made for people with very specific tastes, and I happened to be part of that group. If?Conclave?and?Better Man?hadn't wooed me in the latter half of the film, I may have been tempted to declare?Lisa Frankenstein?my #1 movie of the year. But, it is my #1 underrated film.?There were a lot of great movies that came out this year, so I'm curious to know what everyone's "favorite underrated movie" was for 2024.?
