See AllWhat are your hopes for The Last of Us season 2 finale?
Having played the game, I think it's clear what moment The Last of Us season 2 is going to end on, but I'm mostly hoping it comes as a complete surprise. I don't want to see Abby at all in the episode until the very end, where I'm anticipating she'll return for a major twist. Especially since season 3 is going to be focused more on her character, I'm hoping the focus is on Ellie for all of season 2's finale.
Is Kieran Culkin the right choice for Caesar Flickerman in Sunrise on the Reaping?
Having just recently rewatched the Hunger Games movies, Kieran Culkin seems like a strange choice to me. I love Succession and am down to watch him in anything, but I don't see him being all that similar to Stanley Tucci. Maybe my concern is that the character will feel too much like Kieran Culkin and less like Caesar Flickerman, but I hope I'm wrong.
How does the first trailer of Jason Momoa's Chief of War look?
Chief of War just switched from being a show I'd never heard of to my most anticipated TV series of the summer. Jason Momoa looks great, but the real appeal here is the production value and historical intrigue. I feel like I've been introduced to a time period I previously knew nothing about, and I'm hoping it will offer an experience similar to Shogun.
I couldn't be happier about Conan O'Brien being in Toy Story 5.
After Conan O'Brien's immense success hosting the Oscars, his HBO series, and the ongoing love for his podcast, I feel like he's finally beginning to earn his due appreciation. I've been saying for years that Conan is one of the funniest people alive. I really hope he gets a sizable role in the movie.
How does The Bear season 4 look after the first trailer?
Especially after a weaker season 3, I'm really excited for The Bear to have a return to form this year. I love that it's been reliable for annual releases, and the footage from the trailer looks fantastic. Honestly, it looks a lot like what we were all expecting from season 3, before the show took several detours into Carmy's past.
Does the world really need a Clash of Clans animated show?
The Netflix Clash of Clans show was one of the more surprising headlines of the day to me. I'm not entirely opposed to it, I'm just curious about who the audience will be. If it's going to be geared toward children, I hope there's some thought and heart put into it, rather than just using the IP for something cheap. I suppose that's always my concern when a project is attached to a recognizable brand or title, and it's not exclusive to Clash of Clans.

Alien: Romulus
While I found the direct quotes from previous movies and the CGI face of Ian Holm to be a bit jarring, my hope for the Alien franchise is renewed by Fede Álvarez's latest installment. Romulus mixes the intriguing world-building elements of Ridley Scott's prequels with the classic 1979 Alien blueprint for a terrific sci-fi/horror film that left me wanting more.

See AllAre Green Lantern's powers in the Superman movie trailer what Ryan Reynolds' movie was missing?
Definitely. Not only are creative constructs key to the fun of Green Lantern, but the aesthetic of the constructs is far better than the ones in the Ryan Reynolds movie. The 2011 movie had the right casting choices but poorly thought-out visuals.
Jordan Peele's horror movies ranked - which film is his best?
I'd have to go with Nope. I think it's simultaneously his biggest and most subtle piece, with some of the most horrifying scenes I've seen in movies. Yet all the while it maintains the charm and humor of everything else he's written.
Who else should the DCU's Justice Gang?
Plastic Man is a great idea; I've been hoping to see him in live-action for ages. Or Elongated Man, if they want to take a different route. Seeing someone like Ted Kord's Blue Beetle might be fun, especially if the DCU's primary Blue Beetle is going to be Jaime Reyes.
Does David Corenswet's Superman look weak in DC's new Superman movie?
While I'd love to see some scenes of Superman kicking butt, I think it's fine for him to be relatively weakened aside from rare moments. Consider Justice League Unlimited's finale, for example, where Superman has his monologue about letting loose against Darkseid. Superman being extensively overpowered doesn't work as well in visual media as it does in comics, especially when attempting to suggest a need for other heroes. Plus, it makes the moments where he goes god-mode way more exciting.
Should The White Lotus season 3's Patrick Schwarzenegger play the MCU's Cyclops?
I hadn't thought about this or seen this fan cast before, but I think it's a fantastic choice. I'd love to see him play a version of Cyclops that has a bit more swagger and isn't entirely overshadowed by Wolverine, which I think he'd be perfectly capable of.
Which live-action superhero has the best origin story?
I'd have to go with Batman Begins. I've always believed that the movie is drastically overshadowed by The Dark Knight, which has many virtues of its own and sets up a phenomenal trilogy. Nolan did a terrific job at making Batman's origins somewhat believable in a realistic setting.
