More than any other piece of pop culture, Star Wars is the most dissected property around. For every film that is released, fans dive into every frame, line and character to reveal as much as they can about the overall universe. With more films and television series on the way that connect to the original canon, there will be plenty of Star Wars material to obsess over for years to come....
South Park has been on the air now for over two decades, with 22 seasons under its belt, and so naturally, it’s not the same show today that it was in 1997. Back then, it emerged onto the scene as the funniest, freshest, and most offensive animated comedy on television. Obviously, it’s tough to remain funny, fresh, and offensive if you keep doing the same stuff over and over again, so series creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone have had to keep upping the ante to keep ahead of the game....

The punk movement that reached its apex in the late 1970s and early 1980s has been an inspiration to some filmmakers, either through its do-it-yourself ethos, its outlandish style, or its fast-paced music. The movies on this list feature mohawk-donning creative outsiders who find community through forming bands, engaging in questionable activities, or fending off zombie invasions....

“Resistance is futile”. Say that at a Star Trek convention and then all the Borg cosplayers with teleport out of nowhere. The Borg are arguably the most famous villains in Star Trek, a persistent cyborg species on an endless quest to indoctrinate all life forms into their ranks. They first appeared in TNG, but have been involved in several series and movies since then. While fans still adore The Borg, the fandom hype has made Star Trek writers include them more and more, which only led to more holes in hat made them interesting and, ultimately, destroyed many things that made them great....

These days, everything is either a franchise or attempting to become one. Big Hollywood films rarely come out as one-offs. It’s great to see favorite characters and worlds return to the big screen, but some argue it is too much. Sequels were always a thing, however, ever since the dawn of the medium. For this list, we’ll take a different look at the idea of continuing franchises. Instead of well-established films, the following ten entries will bring to light ten movies you never knew got sequels....
Some television characters cannot catch a break. Just like in real life, there are those characters that, no matter what they do, are always getting kicked around by others. They are ridiculed, dismissed and treated like a human punching bag. When it happens in dramas, it can be very upsetting. But when it happens in comedies, it can be hilarious — in the darkest way possible. These poor characters are mistreated all for our amusement....
Throughout its run, 24 established itself as one of the most addictive TV offerings ever. It also induced plenty of paranoia among viewers, given that most characters were rarely who they appeared to be. You’d see your quiet neighbor Jimmy being given an envelope by a strange-looking man outside his door and start panicking. Is he planning an attack on the White House? Should I call the police? What if the police are in on it too?...
It was a great tragedy a few weeks ago when contract negotiations broke down between Disney and Sony and the latter corporation withdrew Spider-Man from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. While it is a shame that everybody’s favorite web-slinging super-teen won’t be rubbing shoulders with Earth’s mightiest heroes anymore, there is a lucrative opportunity for Sony to introduce Spidey into their own cinematic universe. The plan is to integrate Tom Holland’s Peter Parker into the same universe populated by Tom Hardy’s Venom....
In the world of Friends, it seems like everybody lives with everybody else at least once - Rachel moves in with Monica, then Joey, then Ross, Phoebe lived with Monica, then Rachel, Joey and Chandler live together, then Chandler lives with Monica, Ross moves in with Joey and Chandler… it’s all just a big game of musical apartments set in New York City. Maybe the reason that they are constantly moving around is because of relationships and financial situations… or maybe it’s because they are actually terrible roommates, and just can’t stomach living together anymore....

The action genre has grown to be universally loved. Car chases, shootouts, explosions, espionage, double crosses, and quips all come together to create some unforgettable cinema experiences. Actions movies have had some pretty spectacular highs, with classics like Die Hard and The Matrix, as well as some major disasters like the Point Break remake and Nicolas Cage’s last, like, six movies.

It’s Saturday night and it’s time to relax, and for loyal fans of the Real Housewives franchise, there’s not much that is more enjoyable than a new episode of the city currently on the air.

Hollywood has produced a plethora of great romantic comedies that have happy endings, for natural reasons. However, while a successful meet-cute or romance can end in an official coupling, love sometimes may also end in separation, whether this leads to an upsetting heartbreak or liberation of independence. From romantic comedies to dramas to coming-of-age films, there are many protagonists who end up alone after a romance. Such separation can be optimistic, though, and contribute to a protagonist’s stronger understanding of themselves....
When it comes to the hit animated sitcom Family Guy, it’s hard not to find an episode that doesn’t, in some form or fashion, run wild with crazy themes, wacky gags, and otherwise off-the-wall premises. Yet, in the course of its huge run of over two decades (minus a hiatus of a few years), a number of episodes stand out as truly bizzare, even for the show’s insane standards. Given the unique cast of colorful characters - especially the charming duo of Brian and Stewie - and the seemingly limitless laws of the Family Guy universe, there’s no shortage of potential for craziness....
