Avenue 5: Will There Be A Season 2? HBO By Jeremy Mathai/Oct. 25, 2021 10:13 am EST (Welcome to Will There Be Another Season?, a series where we answer that question and explore what comes next.) I am completely and helplessly obsessed with the last several years of Scottish filmmaker Armando Iannucci’s career. The “Veep” creator is perhaps best known for applying his razor-sharp wit to political satires such as 2009’s “In the Loop” or his more recent (and absurdly hilarious) “The Death of Stalin....

Check Out Nestflix, A Netflix Copycat Featuring All The Fake Movies Within Movies & TV Shows By Ben Pearson/Aug. 11, 2021 2:04 pm EST For years, I thought the violent film noir Angels with Filthy Souls featured in Home Alone was real.

The return of Chris Hemsworth’s Tyler Rake served as the centerpiece reveal of the new “Extraction 2” teaser at Netflix’s Tudum event earlier this year, which briefly recapped the events taking place at the climax of the first film and set the stage for how he apparently survived getting shot and falling off a bridge into the river below....

Easter Eggs In Pixar’s Up By Peter Sciretta/May 31, 2009 8:35 pm EST Pixar loves to hide Easter eggs in their films, little references to movies and characters from the animation studio’s past and future. Last year we put together a compilation of WALL-E easter eggs, so I thought we’d do the same thing for Pixar’s new film Up. If you haven’t seen the film, be warned that this article references scenes from the film which may be considered spoilers....

Created by Marv Wolfman and Gene Colan, Eric Brooks debuted in “Tomb of Dracula” #10 in 1973, though that version of the character is drastically different than the one most fans would recognize. Eric’s mother was slaughtered by a vampire during his birth, which transformed him into a Dhampir: not fully a monster, but no mere mortal either....

Marvel Studios TV Shows Are Produced More Like Feature Films, But Could That Soon Change? By Ethan Anderton/June 14, 2021 10:49 am EST Since the new Marvel Studios TV shows being produced for Disney+ are so closely tied to the events of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it only makes sense that the shows are being crafted as if they were feature films. At least that’s how they’re being treated behind the scenes with a process that removes one key element of television production....

Catastrophe Channel 4 Some of the best comedies these days rely on a collaboration between American talent and their neighbors across the pond (“Ted Lasso”, anyone?). With that in mind, “Catastrophe” is a cross-Atlantic partnership in pretty much every way possible. It stars Irish actress Sharon Horgan and American comedian Rob Delaney, both of whom created and wrote “Catastrophe” together. They play a pair of casual lovers who, after a brief fling, discover that Sharon is pregnant and that they’re about to be parents....

This Week In Trailers: Censor, Ahead Of The Curve, Les Nôtres, Blast Beat By Christopher Stipp/May 22, 2021 9:00 am EST Trailers are an under-appreciated art form insofar that many times they’re seen as vehicles for showing footage, explaining films away, or showing their hand about what moviegoers can expect. Foreign, domestic, independent, big budget: What better way to hone your skills as a thoughtful moviegoer than by deconstructing these little pieces of advertising?...

Watch: Kevin Smith Reacts To ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ Trailer By Angie Han/Dec. 1, 2014 1:45 pm EST The most talked-about new release this Thanksgiving weekend wasn’t an actual movie, but a teaser for one.
