Years of me playing the various Dragon Ball Z video games and watching the many different animes have given me the qualifications to make this list. Listen, I know no matter what I choose for this list there will be people disagreeing with me. That’s okay; we all don’t have to agree on the same thing. We all have different tastes, and we all experiences Dragon Ball in unique ways....
Horror anthologies seem like they’re about to turn into all the rage now, and leading the pack has been the V/H/S series (now on its third installment) and The ABCs of Death, the 2013 collection consisting of 26 different short films and vignettes, each by a different director and each corresponding to a different letter of the alphabet. Producers Ant Timpson and Tim League (the latter of Alamo Drafthouse fame) have managed to corral 26 different filmmakers for the sequel, which follows the same format and manages to recreate the same kind of rollercoaster ride in quality as the first omnibus....
The Addams Family is an icon of happy madness, morbid fun, and macabre amusement. It is as much a sideshow as a franchise, and equal parts parachute, noose, and straitjacket. It was created in 1938 as a series of unrelated single-panel cartoons by Charles Addams, the only cartoonist The New Yorker magazine ever recommended for psychiatric evaluation. So it is a shame we’ll never know what the cartoonist would’ve thought of Tim Burton’s Wednesday, the latest and most promising adaptation of the warped family entertainment for televised consumption in quite some time....
This article contains massive The Batman spoilers. The cops don’t look at him like other Batmans. When Robert Pattinson’s Caped Crusader enters a crime scene that wouldn’t be out of place in a David Fincher movie, the Gotham City Police Department neither assess this interloper with the kind of relief we see from civilians’ reactions to The Avengers, nor even the type of awe and hope glimpsed in Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight....
Just like in the games, Pokemon evolve in the anime. The problem is, evolution in the anime works just a bit differently. For one, the whole concept of levels is a bit iffy and probably non-existent in the anime’s universe, so it’s safe to assume that evolution is not as quantitative as it is in the games. It relies much more heavily on intangible factors. As such, it doesn’t happen as often....
New TV shows are like Pokémon. There are bloody loads of them, each with only the faintest of differences from the next, and apparently, you’ve gotta catch ‘em all. To help us all do that, we need solid recommendations so we don’t end up wasting hours of life that we could otherwise spend watching sunsets and embracing our loved ones. Below are a selection of new shows from last year that our writers were frustrated not to find on our Best of 2022 lists....
This article contains Enola Holmes 2 spoilers. The biggest revelation in Enola Holmes 2 isn’t just all about the post-credits scene connecting the old-school Holmes canon to Nancy Springer’s books. Yes, there is a surprising cameo at the end, one which will make all sorts of Sherlockian fans happy. But before that happens, in the movie’s big denouement, we get another very famous Sherlock Holmes character. But this time, this specific person is disguised as another character entirely....
2011’s Dark Souls is no stranger to killer bosses. Four Kings, Ornstein and Smough, lovable spider mommy Quelaag… these not only rank among the best Souls fights, but they’re arguably some of the best boss encounters of all time. But for all of the amazing fights in that first entry, one in particular always sticks out as a favorite: the Capra Demon and his stupid dogs. Unlike the other enemies mentioned above, the Capra Demon fight doesn’t take place in a traditional arena....

The following contains massive spoilers for The Good Place series finale. So what’s the end of NBC’s beloved sitcom The Good Place all about? Oh, just the death of nearly every character you love and hold dear. Ultimately The Good Place‘s penultimate episode, “Patty,” pretty clearly articulated what was to come for The Good Place’s ending. In that episode, our heroes finally reach the titular Good Place only to find that it’s filled with bored, uninspired zombie-folk....
The Last of Us Part 2 will pit players against three different types of enemies: The WLF, the Scars, and, of course, the Infected. Each enemy type will pose its own kind of threats, and whether or not the player overcomes these situations will depend on their use of Ellie’s unique skillset. Details about who these enemies are and how they operate come from the PlayStation State of Play event dedicated to The Last of Us Part 2....
The Last of Us franchise may boast strong gameplay and gorgeous visuals, but it is praised the most for its intricate storytelling and complex characters. One fan of the series has translated the best moments from The Last of Us and its sequel into a series of art pieces, a process that must have taken a massive amount of time and focus. PLEASE NOTE THIS ARTICLE WILL HAVE MAJOR SPOILERS FOR THE LAST OF US AND THE LAST OF US 2....
Starting this week, a limited series podcast is being released for The Last of Us 2. The eight-episode series will delve into the creation of the games and the stories behind the scenes. Each week’s episode will be respectful of the game’s release, and won’t spoil any of the highly anticipated sequel.

Last night, I’d slit somebody’s throat just as they were screaming for help. I was able to drag them into a room as they gurgled and took their last breaths. But it was too late - dogs were barking, people were yelling. I scrambled for cover and dove into some tall grass. Twenty feet in front of me, I saw the exit, guarded by a dog and a militia member....
This Star Wars article contains spoilers. A few well-known characters from other parts of the Star Wars saga have already appeared in The Mandalorian season 2, including infamous bounty hunter Boba Fett and Timothy Olyphant’s Tatooine marshal Cobb Vanth. Next up is Bo-Katan Kryze, the character voiced by Battlestar Galactica star Katee Sackhoff in The Clone Wars and Rebels, who reveals in the episode “The Heiress” that she’s on a mission to take back Mandalore from what’s left of the Empire....
Kathleen Kennedy has been presiding over Disney’s Star Wars since The Force Awakens, and she has become, for many, a scapegoat, often with harassment hurled her way over films that they did not like. As such, it was only a matter of time before one of these fans asked CEO Bob Chapek whether she would be fired. At the virtual Annual Meeting of Shareholders, one investor poised whether Disney would fire Kathleen Kennedy and put Dave Filoni or Jon Favreau in charge....
Fans of the Star Wars space sim have waited a long time for something like Star Wars: Squadrons to come around. Star Wars Rogue Squadron III: Rebel Strike in 2003 was the last game to focus mostly on the space battles of the Star Wars universe. That game was a good last hurrah for this type of game. It was a bit too arcadey to fit into what old-head fans of games like X-wing Vs....
From Stormtrooper teasers to movie trailers, this has been a big week for fans of the force. Star Wars Celebration kicked off in Anaheim this morning and over the next two days plenty of news surrounding the franchise’s movies, video games, and comics will be dropping. After waiting in a long line for hours (and having pizza delivered by JJ Abrams), the fans at Star Wars Celebration got to soak in a lot of news this afternoon....
