From its very first episode, Mr. Robot has established itself as one of the most thrilling shows on television. The story of Elliot, an isolated hacker who forms a secret society in an effort to take down an evil corporation, it’s a fresh-feeling and challenging show, if not wholly original. Mr. Robot is rife with references to films, either through quotes, visual or musical homages, or allusions in dialogue. The movie references in Mr....

Quite a few TV shows will be ending in 2019, including several long-running programs that have been on the air since the start of the decade (if not longer). While many of those shows will completely end, some of them will expand into franchises and see their stories continue with prequels or spinoffs, which is another trend in Hollywood that’s starting to become more prevalent on television. In 2018, audiences saw major TV shows such as Scandal, New Girl, and Once Upon a Time come to an end after several seasons on the air, with smaller yet still equally important shows like 12 Monkeys, The Americans, and even Timeless concluding with intense finales throughout the year....

With streaming service sprouting up like weeds nowadays it’s hard to know where to divide that precious, hard-earned money. While Netflix has been a staple of the industry since its inception, it’s finding itself with tougher and tougher competition. As Disney begins removing its catalog from the streaming service in order to start one of its own, it might be a wise time to start thinking about where that seven dollars will be coming from....

The writer behind Fantastic Four is apologizing for the film’s quality. Its been three years since the Fantastic Four have appeared on the big screen. After two films in the early 2000s, Fox rebooted Marvel’s First Family in 2015 but with a brand new take. The film was directed by Josh Trank, prior to his vision being altered by the studio. Much of the blame has been placed on Fox’s shoulders, as they squandered an opportunity for a franchise with talented leads like Michael B....

Last summer, when AMC’s Walking Dead spinoff Fear the Walking Dead aired its six-episode first season, viewers were promised that an upcoming Walking Dead web series, titled Flight 462, would introduce them to a new character who would join the rest of the Los Angeles-based survivors as they worked their way through the early stages of the zombie apocalypse. Although it was an official tie-in/spinoff to the highest rated drama on cable television – and even aired seven of the first eight installments throughout the first half of TWD season 6 – the minute-long snippets of passengers soon to be trapped with a newly christened member of the undead in a large metal tube hurtling through the sky sort of came and went without much in the way of serious fanfare....

The main characters of Friends had many different love interests over the ten seasons of the show. For the three main women, Rachel, Monica, and Phoebe, they had a variety of boyfriends. Some of these boyfriends were great guys who you’ll definitely want to be in a relationship with while others weren’t so great. Some of these relationships were short-lived while others lasted a good amount of time even leading to marriage....

With the two-year transition completed from Intel to its own silicon, Apple just unveiled all the M1 family chips to its main Macs. With that, the company is now readying the next wave of computers with the second generation of its processors. In a new story from the Wall Street Journal, the publication writes a profile of Apple’s Johnny Srouji, a former Intel engineer and IBM executive that led Apple’s semiconductor division to ditch Intel for its own silicon....

Hodor hodor, hodor hodor hoder… ahem Of the dozens of characters in Game of Thrones, one that you probably haven’t given a second thought to is Hodor, the simple-minded human chariot for the much more interesting Bran Stark. For many, he’s just a punchline, a useful way for Bran to get around, or possibly an explanation for how Bran has managed to survive when so many battle hardened men haven’t. However, there’s more to Hodor than meets the eye....

[SPOILERS for those not caught up on Game of Thrones season 6 ahead.] - Hot off the back of last night’s plot thickening and building Game of Thrones season 6, episode 8, “No One”, HBO wasted no time in dropping the trailer for episode 9: “Battle Of The Bastards”. Said preview teases the moment many fans have been salivating for: the showdown in the North between the Stark and Bolton-led armies....

In Good Omens, Heaven and Hell are about to engage in the war to end all wars, and all that’s required is for the demon Crowley (David Tennant) and the angel Aziraphale (Michael Sheen) to make sure the Antichrist is at the right place at the right time. As fate would have it, though, this doesn’t go according to plan, and the two decide to take matters into their own hands to keep the Apocalypse from happening....

Every season (or two), Doctor Who gets a bit of a facelift. The Doctor regenerates to become a new version of the same character. As a result, the Doctor also usually gets a new traveling companion to see the universe. Though Doctor Who is a science fiction series, and far from the fantasy realm of Harry Potter, that doesn’t mean fans haven’t wondered about where their favorite companions would fit in at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry....

It’s a little crazy to think that when Akira Toriyama’s Dragon Ball franchise began back in the ‘80s, it was a relatively grounded martial arts series. It still took place in a universe that was skewed toward comedy as it was toward action and the show hadn’t even introduced extraterrestrials, alternate universes, gods, and the wealth of fancy transformations that have become so expected from the series yet. The world of Dragon Ball has evolved and changed in many ways since its inception, but one of the earliest characters that was introduced to the series and has remained a constant is Goku’s best friend, Krillin....

A week ago, Dropbox got itself in a controversy about supporting M1 Macs natively. The company said it will eventually, but in the meantime, the app just announced today some new tools for searching and organizing files. In a blog post, Dropbox says it’s unveiling new features “that make it easier to create and maintain an efficient organizational system” while also introducing a redesigned HelloSign mobile app “to help you send, sign, and check the status of signature requests from anywhere....

Etherborn is a short but mostly sweet puzzler that challenges players to defy gravity in order to traverse its M.C. Escher-esque world. A glowing node sits atop a cube-shaped platform. Despite appearing seemingly in reach it doesn’t take long to realize it’s a bit more than a hop and a skip away. Approaching one the platform’s walls reveals a curve that allows it to be traversed on its side. You suddenly stand at a 90 degree angle, and the deceptively unreachable prize can now be claimed....

Fast & Furious 8, said to be the beginning of a “final trilogy” of bigger-than-ever installments that will bring the moneymaking car-action franchise to a close with an even ten installments, is currently filmming in multiple locations all over the world.

As one of the biggest names to grace the many years of Star Wars movies, Frank Oz is the latest celebrity to come out and defend Rian Johnson’s Star Wars: The Last Jedi.
