One ofStephen King’s best novels is finding new life in 2019.

For the uninitiated (like yours truly),My Little Pony: Equestria Girlsis going to take a bit of explanation. Once upon a time,My Little Ponywas a cartoon that featured realistic-looking ponies meant to advertise Hasbro’s toys meant for young girls. Before long, those pretty ponies changed into more cartoonish characters and included more mythical varieties, all anthropomorphized to carry out their magical adventures. In the 2000s,MLPfans everywhere were introduced to Ponyville and the characters that populated it, while the 2010s introduced the smash-hit version,Friendship Is Magic....

Raising Kratos Review: A Glimpse into the Development of God of War

I’m fascinating by video game development. It’s a unique blend of art and technology that doesn’t behave at all like film or television development. I adoreJason Schreier’s 2017 bookBlood, Sweat, and Pixels, which chronicles the development of eleven games and the barriers that developers have to face both on the independent and the AAA level. However, while there’s no shortage of behind-the-scenes documentaries for feature films, the world of video games has been fairly closed off....

The ninth episode of Season 4 ofRick and Mortysaw the titular inventor and grandson go on a guilt-trip journey to a distant planet to care for some children that look like Gumby fucked Clayface, and honestly, I’m not mad at it. It’s an extremely OK episode – one that is perfectly fine and funny but that I will forget about completely in a few weeks. But it does finally bring the whole family together for the first time in The Other Five, hitting some familiar beats in the process that I feel we’ve been missing from this batch of episodes....
