With AMC series Snowpiercer starring Daveed Diggs and Jennifer Connelly reaching its final season, we're taking a look at the film that preceded the series, 2014's Snowpiercer. The film featured an incredible cast with Tilda Swinton, Ed Harris, Octavia Spencer and of course, Chris Evans whose newest movie Red One, with Dwayne Johnson is due out this November. So let us know what you think about the film, whether you think it's good or better than the series!

So today we're continuing to fix the multiverse saga, and this time, with Shang-Chi and The Legend of the Ten Rings. But as it turns out, this movie needs no fixing! Honestly the best thing this film could do is stay exactly the way it is. For us, it was one of the strongest entries in the Multiverse Saga and fits perfectly into the overall story. So here's our synopsis and spoiler alert - there's no change to it! Wenwu aka, the Mandarin was a ruthless, immortal warlord empowered by his Ten Rings. But when he meets a woman from mystical village Tao Lao, he gives up his rings and empire for a happy family life. When she's killed by thugs from his past, he returns to his old ways and trains his son, Shang Chi, to be a killer from age 7. At 14, he sends Shang Chi to avenge her, but Shang Chi stays and hides in America after the kill brings no closure. Years later, he & his friend Katy are whisked back into his old world when his father sends assassins to take he and his sister, Xi Xialing's pendants. Wenwu captures them at Xi's illegal fighting club and takes them back to his compound where he reveals the pendants will help him rescue their dead mother from Tao Lao. He threatens to destroy Tao Lao so Shang Chi, Katy and Xu Xialing escape the compound with some help from an impriosned Trevor Slattery to go defend it. In Tao Lao, Shang-Chi's aunt reveals Wenwu is being tricked by trapped Dweller-In-Darkness monster. Shang Chi defeats Wenwu, but not before the monster is freed. Wenwu gives Shang-Chi the rings before the monster kills Wenwu, and Shang-Chi and the Great Protector Dragon destroy the Dweller-In-Darkness. End credits: Xialing takes over Ten Rings Wong shows Shang Chi and Katy that the Rings appear to send some cosmic beacon

So here's my official theory about Knull for Tom Hardy's Venom: The Last Dance. Let me know what you guys think!I think Knull came from the MCU as the personification of darkness and was brought into existence as a god-like being when the Celestials brought matter and energy to his side of the universe. He settles on a planet, names it Klyntar and creates the symbiotes. However, a Celestial emerged through his planet, completely destroying everything on it. So he angrily creates All-Black The Necrosword and beheads that Celestial, who would become Knowhere. I think Arishem and the other Celestials separated him from the Necrosword and then banished him to the Sony verse. Venom in Venom: The Last Dance is his key to return to the MCU and enact his vengeance on all the Celestials.

We're continuing our series on fixing the multiverse saga and today we're looking at the first TV show to hit Disney+, Wandavision. The series of course stars Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda Maximoff aka the Scarlet Witch, Paul Bettany as Vision, Teyonah Parish as Monica Rambeau, Kat Jennings reprising her role as Darcy Lewis, Randall Park reprising his role as FBI agent Jimmy Woo and of course, Kathryn Hahn as Agatha Harkness, who's currently starring alongside Aubrey Plaza in Disney's Agatha All Along. Here's a plot synopsis of how we would have written Wandavision to make the multiverse saga a little more connected.

Today I'm starting a new series where we try to fix the Multiverse Saga of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. First up is Black Widow, and the main change here is Taskmaster. Instead of Taskmaster being just a mindless slave to Ivan Dreykov, Taskmaster is actually going to be the one who resurrects the Red Room after she grows up. Her photokinetic abilities would be genetic rather than programmed. In the comics Taskmaster is a great villain and honestly, the original Black Widow ruined them. So we fix that here, Taskmaster has her own autonomy and is the main antagonist of this movie, using her father's mind control formula. What do you think? Would this have worked? Did you like the original Taskmaster in the Black Widow movie?

Today we're pitting two of the latest movies in the Alien and Predator franchises, pitting them against each other, Alien vs Predator style. Ever since Sigourney Weaver and Arnold Schwarzenegger made Alien and Predator iconic films, the franchises have spewed a total of 14 movies, including two crossovers. With Fede Alvarez' Alien: Romulus starring Isabela Merced the latest offering in the franchise, we're comparing it to 2022's Prey starring Amber Midthunder and whether think each franchise will continue to pump out films.

Sony has officially revealed the main villain of Tom Hardy's Venom: The Last Dance will indeed be the symbiote God, Knull. In the comics, Knull is an extremely powerful threat to multiple Marvel teams like the Avengers, the Fantastic Four and Midnight Suns. So here's our reaction to it and whether we think it'll make a significant impact on the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

With Deadpool and Wolverine crossing the billion dollar mark, today we're looking the first billion dollar film of 2024 - Inside Out 2.

With Disney recently cancelling Amandla Stenberg's much maligned series, The Acolyte, after just one season, today we're taking look at series that achieved remarkable critical and fan acclaim - Fallout. The video game adaptation was released on Prime Video earlier this year received high viewerships from both gaming fans and newcomers alike. However, Borderlands, the theatrically released video game adaption starring Kevin Hart, Jack Black and Cate Blanchett, failed miserably, earning putrid reviews and barely grossing $20 million on a $100 million+ budget. So today, Ty are talking about why this series succeeded where other video games adaptions and streaming shows failed.

Today we're talking about Marvel's latest billion dollar hit - Deadpool and Wolverine. The film of course stars Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool and returns Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, even though Jackman famously retired from the role in James Mangold 2017 hit, Logan. Deadpool and Wolverine is well on its way to becoming the highest grossing R-rated film of all time, as it will likely surpass Joker soon. What did you think about the movie? Tell us your thoughts, what you liked or didn't like!
