Wolverine may not be the absolute best-known superhero in the world, but he’s certainly one of the top ten. This feral mutant has been a mainstay of the X-Men comics since the ’70s, and he was part of the franchise that ushered in the current superhero movie renaissance: 2000’s X-Men. Hugh Jackman has been playing Wolverine on screen for seventeen years, and for many, this on-screen portrayal has become synonymous with who Wolverine really is....
The 1990s sitcom Friends stands as one of the best TV comedic shows of all time, as well as one of the most–if not the most—rewatchable TV show ever. It’s one of those shows you can rewatch countless times and laugh all the same.

With great fandoms come great memes because as fantastic as these shows have been, there are definitely things to poke fun at....
In the Marvel world, there are couples so beloved that their pairings might as well be characters. Who is Reed Richards without his Sue Storm, and vice versa? Some of the most anticipated comic issues ever written were of these characters’ weddings, and some of the worst fan revolts in history were over their breakups. One More Day, anyone? No matter which Marvel couples you ship, there will always be certain characters more compatible with others, and some who match well without ever truly becoming an item....
With Detective Pikachu breaking box offices around the world and filling fans’ hearts with joy, it’s no wonder people are already thinking where they can get the next fix of Pokémon. It’s true that Detective Pikachu is the first live-action movie of the universe beloved by so many. However, it’s far from being the first time Ash’s adventures have been depicted in movie form. There actually more than 20 films that came before Ryan Reynolds graced our screens as Pikachu, which is fantastic news for those who are slowly but steadily being sucked into everything the franchise has to offer....

For eight seasons, House M.D. was one of the strongest dramas on all of television, featuring a stellar ensemble cast including leading men Hugh Laurie and Robert Sean Leonard. But though the series was ostensibly a drama about damaged doctors and the patients they treat, the series also had a lot of biting humor in it, thanks in large part to Dr. Gregory House’s sharp wit and total lack of a politeness filter....
To everyone’s relief, the trailer of the live action The Lion King seems to suggest it will almost be a pretty close remake of the original animated movie. For those of us who adored the Disney classic, this is amazing news, because it means the script won’t deviate so much that the story ends up changed. The story is perfect as is! But there are a lot of things that the live action now has a chance to do better, in a world where special effects are better and things can be looked at and improved....
Riverdale began as Pretty Little Liars was coming to an end. With the two in such proximity and the ages of the characters about the same, fans quickly compared the two mysteries. Starting with a missing person later labeled a death, those left in the small town deal with the consequences. However, while Riverdale uses the set up to determine who killed Jason Blossom, Pretty Little Liars used it to kickstart “A’s” presence in Spencer, Hanna, Emily, and Aria’s lives....
These days, as soon as a movie is a quantifiable box office success, the studio hires someone to write a sequel. Sometimes, a movie is so overwhelmingly successful that a sequel is a no-brainer and they fast-track it into development – for example, Black Panther. But other times, it’s not quite successful enough to make a sequel a priority – for example, Don’t Breathe – and if the original doesn’t prove to have lasting value or the cast doesn’t agree on the script, they end up getting stuck in development hell....

Russell’s upcoming movie Amsterdam checks in at 152 minutes, and it could have easily been much longer before the editing process....

Drugs are prominently featured throughout all aspects of pop culture, whether it’s through a rap song, a sordid novel, or displayed through our screens, and continue to fascinate our society. With the breakout success of TV shows like Breaking Bad (2008) and Narcos (2015), the representation of drugs throughout media proceeds to soar.
