There’s plenty of terrible television out there nowadays. While many of these shows fizzle out after only a season or two, others manage to stay on the air for an unexplainable amount of time. What’s worse for many fans is when their favourite show takes a wrong turn. In some instances, the series’ conclusion doesn’t live up to the seasons leading up to it. In others, the show may experience a shift in tone partway through its lifespan, alienating former viewers in an attempt to gain new ones....

Earlier this week, a new report from Display Supply Chain Consultants (DSCC) revealed that Apple has been working on a new MacBook Air with a 15-inch display to be introduced sometime next year. Now analyst Ming-Chi Kuo claims that this new MacBook will be released in late 2023, but it might not be called “Air.” On his Twitter account, Kuo says that mass production of the new 15-inch MacBook will begin in the fourth quarter of 2023, indicating a release later in the year “if all goes to plan....

David Ayer’s upcoming DC Comics movie, Suicide Squad, is one of the most anticipated movies of the summer. Starring the likes of Will Smith, Jared Leto, and Margot Robbie, Suicide Squad is Warner Bros.’ first foray into uncharted territory, without big names like Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman there to lean on. That’s, in part, what makes this movie all the more intriguing. For those of you that don’t know, the Suicide Squad is a covert team led by government agent Amanda Waller that employs an unconventional work release program for the world’s worst bad guys....

Shane Black’s The Predator will hit cinemas in 2018. A poster has been released and there are already various casting rumour flying around in anticipation of the next “proper” film of the franchise. Black’s Predator credentials are also pretty strong, having appeared in the original 1987 film Predator as Rick Hawkins. Aside from the fact that he’s returning to the franchise almost thirty years later as a co-writer and director, Black also helmed the recent Iron Man 3 flick, which, as of mid 2016, is ranking at the tenth highest grossing film of all time....

Change seems to be the optimum word when it comes to Showtime’s Shameless nowadays. This is because the show’s dynamics are about to shift drastically. Firstly, Emmy Rossum announced that she would be leaving the show once this current Ninth Season comes to a close. Then, more recently, Cameron Monaghan exit in the season’s sixth episode. Although Monaghan’s known for months, this latest cast departure felt particularly jarring. After all, what’s Shameless going to be without two of the most significant members of the Gallagher clan?...

DC is in a rut. Their cinematic universe cannot find stable footing. However, some of these problems are not new. DC has been making films for a long time now, and, with such an array of films, mistakes are bound to happen. No director is perfect and no actor can give a perfect take every time. The DC and its films are no exception. Sometimes the mistake is as simple as a ring being on a different finger from shot to shot, but others are much worse....

Since making her debut back in 2014, Spider-Woman Gwen Stacy, or Spider-Gwen as she’s better known, has been a huge hit. Fans loved the idea of an alternate universe version of Spider-Man’s iconic love interest who got spider-powers instead of him. Her stark white costume in particular really captured people’s attention and quickly became a cosplay favorite. And with Spider-Gwen’s inclusion in the upcoming Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse animated movie, her popularity looks to only keep growing....

A British singer-songwriter has recorded a unique MacBook Pro music video. Using her new M1 Max model, she recorded it using the machine’s built-in microphones and webcam! Mary Spender used Logic Pro, which is a pretty demanding app, yet was able to do all the work on battery power – while screen recording at the same time – without the fans kicking in … Her machine is almost maxed-out. She opted for the M1 Max model with 64GB of unified memory, skimping only on the 2TB SSD....

Though best known for helming the first three films of the blockbuster Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, Gore Verbinski arguably made his first big mark directing The Ring (2002), which paved the way for subsequent Japanese-to-American horror flicks like The Grudge and Dark Water. Verbinski was praised for his ability to lead a dark, disturbing storyline without relying too heavily on gore, and the film is still regarded as one of the most chilling flicks to hit the 2000s....

Quentin Tarantino’s newest film, Once Upon a Time In Hollywood is easily the best of its type exploring the cultural moment immediately leading up to the killings that claimed the lives of actress Sharon Tate and various others at the hands of Charles Manson and his followers. However, its far from the first. Ever since that dark day in 1969, filmmakers have been fixated on the murders and their aftermath, seeing them as proof of America’s dark heart or a way to make a quick buck....

Pokémon are great. They’re cute, their games are fun, and their anime is still on over two decades later; what Pokémon aren’t, though, are something can be called logical. The Pokémon franchise is ridiculous if you watch it while retaining your common sense, and it takes accepting the series’ logic to have a good time. Even then actually, you can’t say for sure that it’s going to be making a lot of sense, because Pokémon’s in-universe logic is a whole other can of worms you need to understand....

Ever since there have been successful movies, there have been attempts to duplicate their success. This means turning what could have become a classic stand-alone film into a film franchise. Sequels and remakes can try to improve upon elements of the original or bring a beloved character into an entirely new and interesting situation. Sometimes things work out, but other times… Franchises like Harry Potter or The Godfather have held fans’ interest throughout their entire runs, but others have not been so lucky....

The Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina is teeming with references to Riverdale and the Archie Comics. Fans have picked up on new Easter eggs in every episode. Some of these references even provide foreshadowing for future episodes, making them twice as fun to spot. A few of them seem to hint that Archie and the gang may be fictional in Sabrina’s universe. Whether you buy into that theory or not, these tie-ins are too fun not to find....

Television is overflowing with singing competition shows. From The Voice to American Idol to The X Factor, there is no shortage of chances to watch people dreaming of a big break. The moment Simon Cowell began crushing contestants around the world, we all became vocal experts and music critics. The problem with there being so many seasons of these shows, is that we’ve basically heard the same songs over and over....

As the modern age of comic book blockbusters settles upon the entire globe, with Marvel exploring the corners of its Avengers Universe, Fox concocting one mutant threat after another, and DC assembling their Justice League piece by piece, there’s one superhero undeniably left out in the cold. But don’t shed too many tears for Green Lantern just yet - he had his chance, and as Hal Jordan so rarely does, failed to impress....

With Avengers: Infinity War upon us, the film’s main Big Bad, Thanos, seems a little more familiar as the release date nears. Trailers and TV spots have enriched the Mad Titan with a series of menacing scenes, making us more and more afraid for our beloved Avengers as they face their greatest foe yet. Thanos may be starting the fight, but this isn’t the first time the Mad Titan has made his presence known in the Marvel Cinematic Universe....

Whether you were waking up bright and early on Saturday morning to run into the kitchen and pour yourself a big bowl of Fruity Pebbles or sprinting off the school bus just in time to grab the remote and switch on the TV, many of us loved watching cartoons when we were kids.
