With the early buzz being more positive than negative, DC Universe felt confident enough to renew the streaming series for a second season, even before the first episode has premiered....

Small-Screen Stream: ‘Homecoming,’ ‘Dietland,’ And More Streaming TV By Lindsey Romain/Nov. 13, 2018 12:00 pm EST (Welcome to Small-Screen Stream, a feature where we share the best television shows streaming and where you can watch them.) We’re in that weird time of year where things have gotten cold, dark, and frankly pretty miserable outside, which welcomes the idea of long TV binges on the couch. We’re also — luckily — living in a time when that’s never been more feasible, as streaming services across the board are punching up their TV catalogues, seemingly preparing their patrons for the long, cold winter ahead....

In other words, it’s the leftover and disorganized ramblings, mindfarts, and brain diarrhea from The /Filmcast, all in one convenient audio file....

VOTD: How ‘Venom’ Should Have Ended By Ethan Anderton/July 12, 2019 6:00 am EST Despite a fascinatingly goofy performance by Tom Hardy doing his best impression of a tar-covered, monstrous version of The Mask, it’s probably safe to say that Venom should have ended before it made it to theaters. But since we saw an entire film of a timid, sweaty, tater-tot loving Eddie Brock with no Spider-Man in sight, it’s up to the folks at How It Should Have Ended to show us how this movie should have gone instead....

‘Aquaman’ Spoiler Review: A Big, Goofy Cartoon With Larger Ambitions By Siddhant Adlakha/Dec. 31, 2018 11:00 am EST Aquaman rides a bizarre line between serious and silly. On one hand, it’s a tale of environmentalism centered on a mixed-race character trying to find his place. On the other, it features Jason Momoa falling off a cliff, scored like a Wile E. Coyote cartoon. Only one of these really works. The film’s two disparate halves never quite coalesce; recent superhero movies like Black Panther and Into the Spider-Verse strike a much neater balance between tone and subject, but despite being sluggish whenever it stops to address its own relevance, Aquaman bursts to life when embracing its inherent cartoonishness....
