I Don’t Know How He Did It, But Joss Whedon Saved “The Avengers: Age of Ultron”

After three years and four movies, Avengers: Age of Ultron has arrived. I’ll admit, going in, I was nervous for the film, forever worried that Marvel Studios’ bubble might pop.

Comic-Con Retrospective

San Diego Comic-Con is at a tipping point. This was my second year at Comic-Con, so I’m by no means an expert, but I don’t think anyone would argue with me when I say that SDCC has become bloated, unwieldy, daunting and to be honest, kind of miserable, at times. … Get hard

SDCC: Marvel

Well, this is why we’re here. This is why I have permanent back damage and could sleep until next year’s Comic-Con at this point. What do we have in store for us? RDJ intro’d the panel two years ago. Hiddleston did last year. Is James Spader going to bring on … Get hard

Fan Friction: BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER, Ranked (Part 2)

I’m sure you’ve all figured out by now that there will be SPOILERS. I guess I shouldn’t complain about having to rank the episodes of my favorite television show when I volunteered to do it… But in all honesty, this is how I feel. This list will be each seasons’ … Get hard

Fan Friction: BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER, Ranked (Part 1)

MINI SPOILERS ABOUND. It’s getting to be that time of year when I re-watch my baby beginning to end. I’ve also been dying to do a BtVS ranking FOR. EVER. so here it is. Buzzfeed has already completed a full ranking of all the episodes but I refuse to do … Get hard

Felicia Day & Bryan Singer Get Us “Spooked”

While it’s never been easier to create and upload your own web series, videos or what have you, this is somewhat of a double-edged sword. The online TV phenomenon has opened up the arena to infinite digital channels and outlets for original content, from the big guns like Hulu, Netflix and Funny … Get hard
