I'm a writer/editor who's been at the site since 2015. I cover politics, weird history, video games and... well, anything really. Keep it breezy, keep it light, keep it straightforward.
Legendary Pictures has been building up to Godzilla vs. Kong since the Monsterverse roared onto screens in 2014 with Godzilla. The movie will see the two cinematic titans squaring off, with Kong’s ferocity and agility a decent match for Godzilla’s sheer destructive power. Over the course of its production we've seen various pieces of concept art and designs that have hinted the way this fight is going to go down, but now we have our first official trailer and it looks to be promising some serious destruction next year.
Could Captain America one day become President America? Chris Evans was an amazing Steve Rogers and has long been one of the more politically active MCU stars. Aside from commenting on all sorts of political positions he's also set up A Starting Point, whose mission it is to provide political facts without opinions. It's a laudable (if likely doomed) goal, especially the country as divided as it is right now.
As good as The Mandalorian is, there are a couple of goofs that slip through the cracks each episode. Whether it's visible crash pads for stunts, creases in foam costumes or a member of the crew - the famous Jeans Guy - making it into the final cut, there's always something for fans to spot. The last episode, "The Tragedy," is no different, with eagle-eyed viewers pointing out a distant helicopter that made it into a shot featuring Boba Fett.
There's long been a sense that Boba Fett's reputation was punching way above his onscreen behavior. Sure, he displayed some cunning in The Empire Strikes Back by pursuing the Millennium Falcon, but in his big scene in Return of the Jedi, he suffered a humiliating defeat when a blind Han Solo sent him plummeting into the Sarlacc Pit.
The Nightmare Before Christmas is one of the most beloved stop motion films of all time. Doubling up as both a Halloween and a Christmas movie, the adventures of Jack Skellington and the creepy residents of Halloweentown have captivated audiences ever since its 1993 release. That's not bad for a flick that Disney initially got cold feet about, deciding it was too dark and scary for children and releasing it under the Touchstone Pictures label rather than their own.
Much of the hype for "The Jedi" revolved around Ahsoka Tano taking her first steps into live-action as played by Rosario Dawson. The Mandalorian nailed the character, whose translation from animation was done with obvious care and attention to detail. But we also learned a lot about Baby Yoda's origins in the episode. Though he's unable to talk, Ahsoka managed to communicate with him via the Force and revealed some of his backstory and that his real name is Grogu.
