Apple has announced AirPods 3 pricing and availability, following the long-awaited unveiling of the latest iteration of its in-ear headphones. The launch was a long time coming. The third-generation model was originally rumored to appear back in April … Pricing starts at $179. Apple has announced immediate pre-ordering, with availability from October 26. Here’s what the company has to say about the new model. You can catch up with all the Unleashed event news at our event news hub....

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is full of dozens of characters. While there are a lot of main personas who have gotten their own movies, there are even more side characters who have been featured to varying degrees. With so many characters, the MCU isn’t always able to focus on all of these characters as much as they should. Many fascinating and fan-favorite figures haven’t gotten enough attention in the movies, plus the talents of the actors were basically wasted....

It all started with two strangers in a bar. Eleven years (and twelve seasons) ago, Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo) began her surgical internship at Seattle Grace hospital, the day after unwittingly having a one night stand with one of the new attending physicians, Derek Shepherd (Patrick Dempsey) – a neurosurgery god, accurately dubbed “McDreamy.” Since then we have followed an ever evolving cast of characters through the unequivocal peaks and the gutting lows of their personal lives and careers – and it’s been a heck of a ride....

As sci-fi tropes go, cyborgs are a lot more plausible then interstellar travel or genocidal robots. After all, there are already real-life cyborgs walking among us: from prosthesis-wearing athletes to people with pacemakers. Despite that - or maybe because of it - popular culture has always found the melding of a man and a machine somewhat unnerving. Recently however, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice offered us a glimpse of DC superhero Cyborg (played in the movie by Ray Fisher)....

It’s surprising how many of each year’s top-grossing movies are superhero movies, but this just goes to show you how much the genre has grown in popularity in recent times. With the success of franchises like the X-Men series and the growing Marvel Cinematic Universe, the genre has a pretty solid future moving forward. However, this doesn’t mean that every superhero movie will be successful. With recent films like Green Lantern, Dredd, and 2015’s Fantastic Four failing to make an impact at the box office, producers must be careful and not assume that any superhero movie they make will turn out a big hit due to the genre’s popularity....

It’s hard to deny we’re living in a golden age of comic book movies. While we’ve had our share of duds, problems with the source material have been few and far between. Rather, it’s been miscues in direction, casting, and studio involvement that have steered these flops awry. We thought it would be a fun exercise to put together a “pie-in-the-sky” superhero and director pairings list. Some of these directors have proven successful in their approach to the genre already, some have not....

The Star Trek franchise has been a beloved fixture of the science fiction genre for the past six decades. Since the original series aired in 1966, it has inspired fans around the world to gaze up at the stars with wonder after watching the exploits of the USS Enterprise and its intrepid crew. Several other Star Trek series were created to capture the magic of the original, from Star Trek: The Next Generation, Voyager, and Deep Space Nine, to the latest Star Trek: Discovery and Star Trek: Picard....

In recent years, game developer Bethesda Softworks has released some of the most beloved role-playing games in the industry. Franchises like The Elder Scrolls, Dishonored, DOOM, Prey, and Fallout have all garnered massive followings and provided a healthy return to the company. Among these, one of the most recognized (and at time controversial) series is Fallout, the post-apocalyptic RPG series that began two decades ago in 1997. With open-worlds to explore, compelling characters to engage with, and unique missions to complete, there have been plenty of opportunities to experience unique and hilarious moments in the Fallout games....

Justin Timberlake and his wife, Jessica Biel, have lately been sharing the secrets behind the success of their five years of marriage and dishing out advice about how to stay happily married. While ordinary folk might not consider five years of marriage a remarkable achievement, among celebrities who rush to the divorce court almost as soon as they leave the altar, five years of staying married might rightly be considered a feat....

Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling are a bit of a Hollywood paradox. The married pair of A-list actors is both one of the most attractive couples working in Hollywood right now and one of the industry’s most secretive. Gosling and Mendes have been hugely private ever since they first started dating back in 2011, and they’ve become absolute pros at avoiding paparazzi and keeping their private lives under wraps since then....

Well, it’s finally over. The Big Bang Theory, perhaps the last popular sitcom on broadcast television there will ever be, is coming to an end after twelve seasons. In a matter of months, we’ll know how the saga of Sheldon Cooper, Leonard Hofstadter, Raj Koothrappali, Howard Wolowitz, and Penny (we still don’t know her last name) ends. Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady’s show has had a heck of a run....

Superheroes already push the boundaries of what a movie audience will suspend their disbelief to see, but these folks take it up a notch. Relying not on magic or enhanced strength or simple ropes and electricity, the Ant-Man family of heroes (which includes, but is not limited to, Ant-Man, the Wasp, Giant Man, Goliath, and Yellowjacket) instead use a combination of size-changing technology, bug telepathy, flight, and blasters to get the job done....

Making it in the entertainment industry isn’t easy. Millions dream of becoming world-famous celebrities, making each audition a battle. Some work years, even decades, before they finally reach the spotlight. They quietly put in years of hard work in bit parts and failed projects until something finally works out. Others rely on their very, very famous parents to give them a hand at breaking into this incredibly competitive industry. Believe it or not, but simply sharing a famous family tree does not guarantee Hollywood success....

It’s a beautiful Fall Friday afternoon and the IT team is ready to end another week of work with a happy hour at a new brewery across the street from the office. The week was great. Some small challenges occurred, but this team could handle everything – no critical task will be carried over into the following week. But at 4:32pm a call from the company’s CFO changes everything. She was at an airport getting ready to fly home from a busy week of business meetings....

Yo-Yo, played by Natalia Cordova-Buckley, has been promoted to series regular for season 5 of the ABC series Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Based on the comic book character known as Slingshot, Elena “Yo-Yo” Rodriguez was introduced on the show in season 3 as a Columbian woman with Inhuman powers that allowed her to move at super speed before snapping back to her original position. Unable to speak English, Yo-Yo experienced difficulties interacting with S....

SPOILERS for Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Avengers: Infinity War ahead. Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. aired its season 5 finale, titled “The End,” which completely ignores Avengers: Infinity War and doesn’t deal with the fallout from the movie’s ending. Ever since it premiered on ABC, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has acted as a major connective piece between the movie and TV sides of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Originally, the show included specific tie-in episodes to the films....

Alden Ehrenreich says he would like the Solo franchise to follow the Indiana Jones mold, making each film its own separate adventure. Forty years after Harrison Ford first added his roguish swagger to the Star Wars saga, Alden Ehrenreich takes over the role of Han Solo for a look at the formative years of the space pilot and smuggler. Solo: A Star Wars Story presents scenes from Han’s history that are already iconic in the minds of fans, including the famous moment when he won the Millennium Falcon from Lando Calrissian....

A couple of months ago, Ben Affleck announced his departure from the role of Batman in the DC Extended Universe. Recently, his replacement was finally revealed: Twilight star Robert Pattinson. Some fans expected Affleck to be replaced by an actor like Armie Hammer or Jake Gyllenhaal who have a similar age and built to Affleck and could therefore pick up where his Batman left off. However, the casting of the much younger Pattinson seems to promise some major changes to the portrayal of the Dark Knight in the DCEU....

Casting news for the upcoming Black Panther movie is rolling in at an unprecedented speed. Thanks in large part to Chadwick Boseman’s fantastic portrayal of the titular character in Civil War, audiences are eager to see more of the Black Panther, also known as King T’Challa of Wakanda. What’s more, the news that the movie will feature a predominantly African or African-American cast is exceptionally exciting for those who have been eager to see more diversity in modern Hollywood....

Two years ago, we got a movie based on LEGO toys. It’s a weird time to be alive, a time when toys of yesteryear get their own films, mobile games are the start of cinematic franchises and Power Rangers is about to get a multi-million dollar reboot. There’s real power behind cult classics, and Hollywood is doing its utmost to turn all that goodwill into profit. So while we eagerly await that overdue Slinky movie, featuring Samuel L....
