We’re now mid-way through The Expanse Season 5. Just halfway in, this penultimate season is proving to be an exclamation point on Amazon Prime Video’s acquisition of the franchise. The tension that’s arisen in the wake of Marco Inaros’ asteroid attack on Earth is palpable, and the acting superb. There is one way, however, in […]

Since the sequel trilogy debuted with The Force Awakens in 2015, Star Wars fans have been talking about the potential “bromance” between Poe Dameron and Finn. As we know, the characters did not, in fact, pair up, despite some fans’ attempts to ship the couple into existence. As it turns out though, Oscar Isaac is […]

Kennedy came with an impressive resume. She’d already worked for decades alongside Lucas and Steven Spielberg on some of the film industry’s biggest blockbusters. Her first foray into the […]
We’ll give Rian Johnson credit for one thing: people are still talking about Star Wars: The Last Jedi three years later. Of course, the conversation usually centers on just how much many fans hated the film, so perhaps the Episode VIII director shouldn’t be that proud.
