Justice Leaguewill mark a pretty significant departure for the DC Extended Universe: it’ll be only the second DC film to feature a post-credits scene. Indeed, most of the DC films thus far—fromMan of SteeltoBatman v Superman: Dawn of JusticetoWonder Woman—have refrained from teasing future films in a post-credits scene or sequence, in an effort to further distance themselves from the Marvel Cinematic Universe.Suicide Squadwas the first to include one, in whichBen Affleck’s Batman appears to set upJustice League, but there was a concerted effort in the early days of crafting the DCEU to move as far away from what Marvel was doing as possible, even if the entire idea of crafting an interconnected series of films was based on the success of the MCU....

Mystery Science Theater 3000, that long-running, highly influential cult comedy TV show, is both wholly comforting and endlessly surprising. The central hook is a sticky one — a human and his two robot friends make fun of the worst movies ever made in a movie theater silhouette form — but it’s been modified slightly over the many networks its been on since its 1988 debut, including Minneapolis local TV, Comedy Central, Syfy, and Netflix....

Those that attended the premiere of Disney’sFrozen 2, way back in the fall of 2019, were given a special treat: they were the first to experience “Myth: A Frozen Tale,” a cutting-edge VR short film that took place in the world ofFrozen 2.

Editor’s note: The below contains spoilers for No Good Deed. Ever since the long-runningFriends,Lisa Kudrowhas appeared in several projects, but none quite capture the actor’s range, like this new-to-Netflix dark comedy series,No Good Deed.
