Taika Waititi has once again knocked it out of the park with Jojo Rabbit, yet another film showcasing his unique directorial and writing talents. His most recent work tackles a more sensitive subject for many - Nazi Germany - and is only one in a long line of comedies to satirize hate groups and tyrannical governments. The following list will detail ten other satires to watch if you liked Jojo Rabbit....
The Duffer brothers’ blend of ‘80s nostalgia and Carpenter-esque sci-fi horror came out of nowhere back in 2016. It went from being Netflix’s curious new drama series to a pop culture phenomenon pretty much overnight. The team behind Stranger Things are taking their sweet time with the third season. This will probably result in a better season of television, so we have to let them take their time, but at the same time, we need something to tweak on....
22 movies in, 11 years later, dozens of characters introduced. Yet one hero is and always been the center of the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe. Our beloved genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist. Tony Stark underwent a massive journey since his first appearance in Iron Man. He is presently recognized as arguably Earth’s best defender, willing to put his life on the line to save the world. But many forget the hugely naïve and egotistical idiot he once was....
Romance is everywhere… especially in February when many people celebrate Valentine’s day. And, of course, in the world of TV shows where there are so many couples of various ages, genders, looks, characters… To pick your favorite would probably be no easy task, especially since some of these couples have something else going on for them - the fact that they proved their love to each other in a brilliant musical number....
The opening scene of a movie is crucial in setting the film’s tone. Most movies try to start off with an exciting scene that introduces the main character or the story. However, some films kick it up a notch by adding a twist, subverting expectations and setting up for more surprises. The ones that do it best become icons. Here are some of the most exciting, impressive scenes from film history....
Though the Halloween season is over, that doesn’t mean we can’t appreciate the scares generated by shows like Ghost Hunters. Premiering on the Syfy channel in 2004, it features members of The Atlantic Paranormal Society (also known as TAPS) investigating reportedly haunted places. In almost every episode, something usually happens to indicate paranormal activity though some incidents are crazier than others. This, in turn, has attracted a lot of skepticism, as is the case with many reality shows that involve the paranormal....
While Outlander fans are eagerly awaiting the return of the time-traveling show, we’re taking a look at one of the most beautiful ways to show off devoting to a fandom - beautiful tattoos. While some people may choose to go for a fandom tattoo a little more obvious, these people have shown their love for the series (book and TV show) with quotes and images that aren’t immediately obvious as fandom art....
HBO is creating a new series based on the classic DC Watchmen comic book series which itself spawned a movie by Zack Snyder in 2009. The interesting thing about the television show is that it promises not to just rehash the story the Watchmen movie told, and will instead be in the same world but based on a brand-new set of events inside that world. The team behind Watchmen is strong, with Damon Lindelof (The Leftovers, Lost) running the show and some huge actors involved, including Regina King, Jeremy Irons, Tim Blake Nelson, Louis Gosseyy Jr....
What makes a Christmas movie? It should be set at Christmas, feature a Christmas party, have family members jetting in with presents, and feature a happy ending. Die Hard has all that. And more. So what’s the problem? OK, the movie is violent. People die right left and center. But hey, that’s life. No, in the debate over whether Die Hard is the perfect Christmas movie, we are on the side of John and Holly McClane....
The Office is one of the U.S’s most highly rated and highly binge-worthy shows. For some reason, fans can’t seem to get enough of these characters, despite the fact that the show ended over six years ago in 2013. Perhaps it’s because of the love between Jim and Pam, the hilarious (and somewhat embarrassing) antics from Michael Scott, or maybe it’s The Office cast as a whole that audiences keep coming back for....
The ninth season of American Horror Story is currently airing, and fans of the macabre and morbid show are being treated to another impressive installment in the anthology series.

American Horror Story is synonymous with its cast, many of whom are famed for playing a variety of chic, signature characters....
One could argue the list of musical acts who have appeared on The Simpsons is more star-studded than the actual Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The roster of musicians who have visited Springfield is legendary. Rock royalty like The Beatles and Elton John have rubbed elbows with the Simpsons family. Homer has shared the stage with U2 and Kid Rock, Bart shared a limo with 50 Cent while Lisa received advice from Lady Gaga....
Seeing that Apple has such a devoted following of creatives, there are many leading apps for iOS that influencers have added to their toolkit. And, if you don’t find an app for your needs (which is highly unlikely, why not develop it yourself? After all, necessity is the mother of invention. Whether it’s for your own use or perhaps a desire to start a new side hustle, here are 10 top iOS development courses that you can check out....
Out of the hundreds of movies that are released each year, there is occasionally a film that is so special that it transcends its time and even its genre. The Breakfast Club, the seminal teen movie by filmmaking legend John Hughes, is one of those films. This movie, about a disparate group of high schoolers who bond over one seemingly never-ending Saturday detention, is a classic whose appeal will never fade, and has come to define the teen movie genre....
It’s hard enough to find LGBT representation in media, although it has gotten easier over the last few years, it can be even more difficult to find bisexual characters that don’t fall prey to offensive stereotypes. It’s not enough to just have a bi or gay person on your show, they need to be a fully-realized character that isn’t condensed to tropes. That said, we have gotten some great depictions of bisexuality over the years, here are some of the most relatable representations on television....
Within the world of Star Wars there is a literal galaxy’s worth of settings that are ripe to explore. And within the world of The Mandalorian, it seems that Mando and his newly adopted child will be doing a lot more traveling than the average father and son duo, on account of the fact that they’re going to be on the run from the former Empire and whoever else catches on to the powers of baby Yoda for the foreseeable future....
Laughter may not be the first thing that comes to mind when it comes to reacting to an episode of tear-jerker This Is Us. It features very real struggles that audiences of various backgrounds can relate to. There’s not much of a chance you can get through an episode without crying unless you’ve rendered yourself numb beyond human capacity. It’s a crime, really, how emotional every episode makes us. At least it gives us a good cry every week to let out whatever we may be holding onto....
A new Batman movie is coming to theaters with The Batman, directed by Matt Reeves, the director who helmed the last two Planet of the Apes movies. There are few details about the film outside of the fact Robert Pattinson is playing Batman, and Jeffrey Wright will take on the role of Jim Gordon. However, the role of the bad guy is still a mystery, although there are rumors, it might be Penguin, and Jonah Hill might take on the part....
One Tree Hill is one of the most popular teen drama series of all time. The show aired on the WB before it was consolidated into The CW and then it went on for 9 seasons in total. It was one of the first series to implement a major time jump in teen dramas and certainly helped popularize the decision on television as the show continued longer post-time jump than it had when the characters were teenagers....
Moms brought us all into this world, didn’t they? Mothers are always the first person that any child gets to know on a completely intimate basis. Feeding, clothing, nurturing, spending countless waking nights comforting you after a bad dream. To many, if not all of us, there’s just nothing our mothers can’t do, and nothing they can’t handle. Perhaps that’s why plenty of TV shows over the years have taken this wholesome concept of mom and knocked it on its head with all sorts of crazy and lazy good-for-nothing moms....
