If you haven’t watched BBC and Amazon’s spectacular, scathing comedyFleabag, you don’t know what you’re missing.

Has Peak TV changed the way we watch television? Is it the ease of the streaming binge model, or the fast-forward function of DV-Rs that makes us want to rush so quickly into the next episode of a favorite series? Basically, is it ok to skip the opening credits to a TV show, or are we meant to watch them to start each new chapter as part of the program itself?...

Asthe WGA strike rages on, major Hollywood studios and streaming platforms thathave been struck by the work stoppagemay look to sever their ties with many creatives altogether. A new report fromVarietybased on over half-a-dozen anonymous sources knowledgeable on the inner workings of these companies says that they may be planning to invoke force majeure clauses on the first look and overall deals they’ve inked with writers to terminate them.

When it comes to iconic film franchises, Batman is unique in the sense that there’s not really one musical theme that defines the character. Sure, there are plenty of cues that immediately conjure the caped crusader to mind, but fromNeil Hefi’s groovy TV theme toDanny Elfman,Hans Zimmer, and all the animated adventures in between, Batman’s sound has evolved with each new incarnation. The next composer to take the mantle isMichael Giacchino, who’s re-teaming with directorMatt Reevesafter their work onLet Me Inand the last twoPlanet of the Apesfilms forThe Batman....

Since the very first season ofEric Kripke’s superhero satire seriesThe Boys, fans have come to expect only one thing: lines will be crossed. While the show never sacrifices good storytelling for shock value,The Boysis infamous for its outrageously misbehaving supes and the messy consequences of their actions. Now, not even two full weeks afterSeason 4 began filming, Visual FX supervisorStephan Fleettook to Twitter to pique our interest. In few words, the VFX supe just promised us another diabolical season....

I saw 1996’sThe Craftfor the first time back in January, and my major take away from the cult classic is that while it had some clear appeal, especially with its subtext of female empowerment, the story and direction coming from two men added a layer of “Don’t run too far, too fast,” which slightly defanged the film’s strongest aspect. Over twenty years later and writer-directorZoe Lister-Joneshas taken us back to that world withThe Craft: Legacy, a movie that loudly echoes certain plot beats from the first movie while never quite recognizing that the reasonThe Craftworks so well is that it’s about women finding their power....

If theJames Bondfilms have proven anything, it’s that they are impervious to change — until they have to. For example, sexist, double entendreBond girl nameslike Pussy Galore (Honor Blackman), Holly Goodhead (Lois Chiles), and Plenty O’Toole (Lana Wood, a highly unfortunate, but undeniably hilarious, quadruple entendre), died afterDr. Christmas Jones(Denise Richards) inThe World is Not Enough, with the series at last acknowledging that the time had long passed for the names to go....

[Editor’s note: The following containsspoilersthrough the Season 1 finale ofThe Mandalorian, “Chapter 8: Redemption."] The MandalorianSeason 1 is a unique set of episodes when compared to others of its like. On the surface, it’s a relatively simple narrative with (to use video game parlance) more side quests than main mission, there are still a lot of details packed into the storyline, not to mention a wild array of new characters inhabiting a whole new side of this universe....
