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

Why ‘Star Wars’ Fans Should Embrace ‘Star Wars: Resistance’ By Shana Oneil/May 27, 2019 7:00 am EST Like Star Wars Rebels before it, Star Wars Resistance met some, no pun intended, resistance with certain Star Wars fans – especially fans who feel the Disney XD series is targeted specifically to kids and not themselves.

The latest Daredevil season 3 teaser smartly spotlights the Kingpin, as he finally dons his classic comic book outfit and challenges Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) to “let the Devil out....
‘Extra Ordinary’ Review: A Sweet Irish Rom-Com With Paranormal Activity [SXSW] By Matt Donato/March 20, 2019 7:00 am EST Mike Ahern and Edna Loughman’s Extra Ordinary comes together as the tonal lovechild of Jared Hess and Taika Waititi, playfully mocking horror beats instead of unleashing them. It’s more a cutesy rom-com with expelled ectoplasm goo than completionist horror dive into Drag Me To Hell territory, but when subdued haunting gags land, laughs project with ease....

‘Luce’ Trailer: The Perfect Student May Not Be So Perfect After All By Ben Pearson/June 4, 2019 5:00 pm EST Director Julius Onah took a bit of a critical beating last year with his messy, inert, interconnected side-quel The Cloverfield Paradox, but he seems to have rebounded in a big way with a psychological thriller called Luce. A psychological thriller adapted from an acclaimed play, this movie about a model student who may be hiding a dark secret made its debut at this year’s Sundance Film Festival and has been scooping up strong reviews ever since....
‘Ophelia’ Trailer: Daisy Ridley Shows A New Side To Shakespeare’s ‘Hamlet’ By Hoai-Tran Bui/April 30, 2019 4:00 pm EST There’s no greater tragedy in the classic Shakespeare plays than the frequent under-serving of their secondary female characters.

‘Splash’ At 35: This Tom Hanks Sex Comedy Was A Huge Turning Point For Disney By Josh Spiegel/March 13, 2019 1:00 pm EST (Welcome to The Disney Discourse, a recurring feature where Josh Spiegel discusses the latest in Disney news. He goes deep on everything from the animated classics to the theme parks to live-action franchises.)1984 was a transitional period for Hollywood. You don’t have to be deep in the weeds of film history to know this is the year when the MPAA introduced the PG-13 rating, a response to frustrated parents who felt that the PG-rated films Gremlins and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom were far too inappropriate for their children....
‘Star Trek’ TV Shows Will Have Distinct Tones, Be Spread Out To Avoid Franchise Fatigue By Ben Pearson/Oct. 17, 2018 3:30 pm EST CBS All Access plans to boldly expand its roster of Star Trek TV shows…but not too quickly. A new report says that the network doesn’t want to make the mistake of having fans become oversaturated with new Star Trek content.

However, as we see in the first official The Lion King trailer, that CG animation is breathtakingly beautiful....
‘True Detective’ Season 3 Review: A Semi-Successful Attempt To Recreate What Made Season 1 Special By Chris Evangelista/Jan. 10, 2019 8:00 am EST Can you really blame Pizzolatto for taking this approach, though? After the critical acclaim and buzz-worthy reaction to the first season, the True Detective architect tried to do something completely different with season 2 – and it backfired. While I’m one of the weirdos who thinks True Detective season 2 isn’t nearly as bad as people make it out to be, it’s not very good, either....
‘Wallace And Gromit’ Animation Studio Now Belongs To Its Employees By Ben Pearson/Nov. 15, 2018 12:30 pm EST In 2018, huge media corporations are like those rolling cities in Mortal Engines: they’re always on the hunt for a smaller company to consume.
