The Netflix series The OA is one of the most intriguing, thoughtful and psychologically challenging shows that the streaming service has ever released on its platform, which is really saying a lot. Sadly The OA was just canceled after its season two release, and the show left off with way more questions than answers. But now we’re officially left with what we already have, so we might as well enjoy what we got and be grateful that we got any of The OA at all....

Most of us are familiar with the genius of Jim Henson, whether from The Muppets, Sesame Street, or any number of his films. The famous puppeteer and creator certainly had a gift for creating memorable and visually stunning characters. So much so, in fact, that an entire workshop was created dedicated to the production of some of these famous creatures. Classic shows like The Storyteller and Fraggle Rock (and movies like Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal) owe everything to this visionary....

With hundreds of legendary sitcoms out there, it can be incredibly hard to make a difference on TV. Grasping the audience through the art of humor and relationships, sitcoms have notes to hit in order to make it a success. The 10 sitcoms listed below were iconic in their own right, lasting for multiple seasons and winning many awards. But no matter how good they were, their finales didn’t match the rest of the season....

Airing since 2017, Dear White People is a Netflix original series based on the 2014 movie of the same name. The show follows students of color through their typical college drama. Samantha is the protagonist, and she owns a radio show after which the series is called, where she addresses political and social issues that she is fed up with seeing around the university campus. Labeled as a ‘woke’ show, Dear White People enlightens its audience on examples of everyday racism, especially around young adults, that need to be changed....

There is no shortage of comedies in this world but when it comes to the top tier, that’s a shortlist that always includes Ghostbusters. Taking Saturday Night Live alumni and ’trading extra-terrestrial for supernatural,’ star Sigourney Weaver produced a legendary comedy. You’ll hear endless stories about how much or how most of the film is improvised by its stars, particularly Bill Murray. You’ll notice great subtle jokes amid the flowing, natural chemistry of the cast, but there are always more things to notice....

Over thirty years since its initial release, Top Gun is still revered as one of the most popular aviation films out there. Not only does it have memorable characters, but also a catchy soundtrack and quotable lines. But while Top Gun’s simple story works for a movie, can it be translated into a television series? Absolutely, because there’s a whole history of aviation-themed TV series that came out before and after Top Gun with the same blend of action and drama in them....

The price point of this device is not yet known. Interestingly, Digitimes reports that the device will usurp the 11 inch Air in the lineup, perhaps suggesting that the 12 inch Air will be in the same ballpark as far as price is concerned. Due to landing orders for both the 12 inch MacBook Air and the Apple Watch, expected in March, Quanta will hire an additional 30,000 people according to the report....

Horror movies were plentiful in 2019. Though there were many flops, the good ones outshone the bad by far, and ultimately, gave horror fans a bright outlook on the future of the genre. However, as great as the popular hits were, like Jordan Peele’s Us, Ari Aster’s Midsommar, and Andy Muscietti’s It Chapter 2, there were several great horror movies to come out of 2019 that never really got the recognition they deserved....

Gilmore Girls was all about Lorelai and her daughter Rory, two leading ladies who ate junk food while watching classic flicks, drank copious amounts of coffee, lived in the quaintest and quirkiest little town and had several notable relationships over the years. Some of these relationships were clearly not meant to be. Others seemed too good to be true. And all of them, the good and the bad and everything in between, taught some very valuable lessons to the characters and to viewers, as well....

After so many years of movies, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has followed dozens of characters and created a universe that reaches every corner of the galaxy. It is inevitable (no pun intended!) that Marvel has made a few mistakes in their films that leave huge question marks for fans, but there are, of course, many that may have slipped past. In the action, excitement and heroism displayed in the movies, it’s easy to overlook the less obvious mistakes, and at the risk of detracting from the flow of the franchise, here are some missteps the MCU has made....

In The Hunger Games, Katniss Everdeen, volunteers as tribute to save her sister from having to play. Thus begins the story of our heroine, the people that she meets along the way, the friends and family she cares about, and her complicated feelings of being made into a revolutionary figure. The book series captivated us as readers, and the movies did a nice job of capturing the heart of the books....

Avengers: Endgame is right around the corner. Right now fans everywhere are trying desperately to avoid being spoiled and preparing themselves for what is sure to be an emotional roller coaster of a film. The film is set to conclude the epic 10-year long saga of storytelling. But since we’re greedy and want more from our favorite superhero team, we have to wonder what’s next for the Avengers. The Avengers’ battle against Thanos over the course of these two films is epic and, although a lot was changed for the film, it was inspired by the comic book storyline....

Since its initial air date in September 2000, MTV’s Cribs has made a lasting impact on reality television and on programs centered around housing. Over its first run of 13 seasons, they showcased over 185 celebrity houses and mansions, and their later run as a short-form Snapchat Discovery show in 2017 and 2018 was successful as well. Eventually, though, you’re bound to run out of episodes when binging any iteration of Cribs....

Social data is so important, in fact, that 33% of social marketers in a hiring position list reporting ability as the top skill they look for in candidates. Yet with so many metrics and differing department goals, where do you start in communicating the right data to the right team? And how do you share that data with them in a way that is digestible and makes sense to your colleagues?...

James Wong introduced fans to a new horror series called Final Destination nearly 20 years ago. The first film saw a group of students traveling to France, only to be kicked off of the plane after one student has a premonition about a plane crash. Messing up Death’s design, the entity hunts down all of the survivors, which are seen as gruesome accidents. The series lasted a total of five films from 2000 to 2011....

1.

People look to film as an outlet when their own reality isn’t as desirable. And, a sizable segment of society that definitely finds solace in movies is the LGBTQ+ community. A number of LGBTQ+ people have depended on cinema to learn more about themselves—and what they want in life. The 2010s featured many high-profile LGBTQ+ films like Call Me By Your Name, Moonlight, Blue Is the Warmest Colour, and Love, Simon....

A few years ago, it seemed like a long shot that Spider-Man would ever appear in the MCU (thanks to some legal mumbo jumbo with Sony), but now, it’s impossible to picture the franchise without him. Part of Marvel’s negotiation with Sony was that another Avenger had to have a supporting role in the first Spidey solo movie, so Iron Man was added as a mentor out of legal obligation....

Movies get banned all the time, usually because of controversial or offensive content. Often times, the reason for the banning is obvious, like with Salo or I Spit On Your Grave, both of which straddle the line of good taste. Yet, sometimes the reason for a banning doesn’t make a whole lot of sense, and even the most innocent of movies have found themselves the victims of the ban hammer. From films that were banned due to racial censorship to a movie that was denied a release because of its color palette, here are ten movies that were banned for bizarre reasons....

With 24 official entries into the series so far and a 25th on the way very soon, there has been an incredible number of opportunities for plot holes to rear their heads across James Bond. We’ve collected the ten biggest errors into one list. Everything from aquatic anachronisms, to killing continuity problems, there is a lot of detail to sink your teeth into with this spy series.
