There are a lot of things that make Supernatural brilliant, but more often than not there are times when the show frustrates it’s adoring fans. Given that the show, like most things on The CW, is largely formulaic, it’s nigh impossible for some issues to not be recurring.

These five instances are times when Supernatural really messed up a good thing, with fans wondering why these issues were not fixed in time until today. While Eric Kripke has proved himself to be a master of storytelling time and time again, it is difficult to overlook such glaring irritants in the story.

In the latest update to the Drake vs Kendrick Lamar feud, the Canadian rapper is reportedly suing Universal Music Group for artificially inflating the popularity of Kendrick Lamar’s Not Like Us song. In a petition filed in a Texas court, Drake alleged that the label promoted the song even after knowing that it contained false allegations about him being a “certified p*dophile.”

Drake is not the only famous musician who has come at loggerheads with the label. In 2003, Michael Jackson sued Motown Records and its parent label Umg for royalties of his materials. In a wild theory, a few fans accused Umg of promoting the p*dophile allegations against both the artists.

The villain who everyone remembers from "Star Trek Into Darkness" is Khan "John Harrison" Noonien Singh (Benedict Cumberbatch). In the Kelvin timeline film, Khan's wrath is focused not on James T. Kirk, but on Admiral Marcus (Peter Weller).

Marcus, who's a warhawk and head of intelligence division Section 31, wants Starfleet to bring the Klingon Empire to heel. In the original "Star Trek" timeline, it was the Enterprise crew (in the classic episode "Space Seed") who discovered Khan and his other human "augment" followers. These superhumans had tried to conquer Earth in the 20th century, but were driven out and escaped Earth aboard the SS Botany Bay, going into cryosleep to weather the passing of time.

In the Kelvin timeline, Marcus reawakens Khan and puts him to work designing weapons, holding his other augment followers hostage. Khan escapes and wages a one-man war against Starfleet before fleeing to the Klingon homeworld Qo'noS.

There’s a moment in John Milius’ Conan the Barbarian that always gets to me. It’s that scene right before the final battle when Conan prays to his Cimmerian god and states that no one will remember who he and his companion were – the only thing that matters is that, in that moment, two stood against many. From the battle of Thermopylae to Black Hawk Down, the idea of a small group standing their ground against an overwhelming force is one of the most compelling setups in all of fiction, and this also applies to the horror genre.

Many of our favorite scary stories borrow from this same mythological source, which is why there are countless horror movies about small groups of survivors attempting to defend an isolated location from evil invaders. And in honor of what we’ve now come to know as “Siege Films,” we’ve decided...

Daniel Hui’s Small Hours Of The Night has been pulled from Singapore International Film Festival (Sgiff), after being refused classification from the Infocomm Media Development Authority of Singapore (Imda).

Every film requires a rating classification to be screened in Singapore. Imda explained its decision on its media classification database: “Small Hours Of The Night is a film that revolves around discourses about the impact of Singapore’s judiciary on personal lives. Set in a room, it features a person being interrogated on various issues with references to past judicial cases.

“The film has been refused classification.

Europe’s largest cosplay get together, Italy’s Lucca Comics and Games returns for its 58th edition over the Halloween weekend, with thousands of fans descending on the medival Tuscan town to celebrate all things geek. From TV shows launched by the top streamers to video, tabletop and role-playing games, comic books and horror movies, Lucca showcases the latest in fandom, paying homage to the pervasive power of pop culture at large.

And that is why “The Butterfly Effect” is the theme of this year’s edition, being held Oct. 30-Nov. 3.

Lucca Comic and Games has over almost 60 years accomplished a fantastic butterfly effect, artistic director Emanuele Vietina tells Variety. It’s become a type of event that’s being embraced by the world, from South Asia to all of Europe and North and South America, he points out. (See separate interview with Vietina).

I think it’s fair to say it’s been a great year for rap. While the genre has slipped a little in popularity compared to the last decade, it has seen a resurgence compared to 2023, with major releases and cultural moments that will surely be remembered for years to come. Grammy winners Kendrick Lamar, Killer Mike, and Eminem are among the many contenders this year looking to grab some coveted nominations at the award show’s 67th edition, with nominations due November 8.

One way of looking at history is to perceive it as a multitude of narratives. While the way it is sometimes taught, for example, in school, suggests it is a linear narrative based on cause and effect, a more detailed look confirms the over-simplified notion of this approach or understanding. Especially when it comes to a culture that has been dealing with oppression, persecution and in general an authoritarian regime, it is not only recommended but necessary to reject any simplified approaches. At least, this is probably what any viewer will take away from Singaporean director Daniel Hui‘s latest work “Small Hours of the Night”, which, even though it centers around two performers, weaves a complex web of stories and timelines presenting a view on his home country’s past, especially its handling of dissent and resistance.

Brushing this ominous exchange off, Sean arrives at the customer’s house in the Hollywood Hills, where he quickly realizes he’s stumbled right into a trap, and that this delivery may very well be his last."

Vinegar Syndrome‘s October releases include The Tenant, Corpse Mania, and Shanks on 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray along with The Ghost Dance, Mind Benders, Dial D for Demons, and Forgotten Gialli: Volume 7 on Blu-ray.

Here’s everything you need to know…

From maverick director Roman Polanski comes one of the most unusual and unsettling studio thrillers of the 1970s: The Tenant. Adapted from Roland Topor’s cult novel, Polanski casts himself in the lead, offering a uniquely demented and outrageously funny performance, and is supported by Melvyn Douglas (The Changeling), Shelly Winters, and Isabelle Adjani (Possession).

Garrett Hedlund charms on and off the screen, and in his latest role as Mitch on Tulsa King, he’s no exception.

Mitch, the former rodeo rider and bar owner, brings a grounded yet aspirational energy to the ensemble led by Sylvester Stallone.

Sitting down with Garrett via Zoom, it’s easy to see why his portrayal of Mitch resonates with fans — he approaches the character with warmth and complexity.

When we asked Garrett why Mitch eagerly teamed up with Dwight, he offered a layered perspective.

“Mitch was getting by… He was living a safe life, paying his dues because of some past mess-ups,” Garrett explains, revealing Mitch’s more vulnerable side.

Yet, Mitch always had an undercurrent of ambition, one waiting for the right spark to ignite it. Enter Dwight Manfredi, Stallone’s larger-than-life mafia capo.

If you’re a Patricia Cornwell fan, you know Kay Scarpetta.

Cornwell’s work with that character was so influential in my life that I can remember exactly where I was when reading certain novels.

But I can’t lie. The last person I wanted to play Kay was Nicole Kidman.

So, the deal is that the series has landed a two-season deal with Prime Video. Kidman will play Kay, and Jamie Lee Curtis will play her sister, Dorothy.

Five others have also been added to the series, including Oscar winner Ariana DeBose, Emmy winner Bobby Cannavale, Emmy nominee Simon Baker, Rosy McEwen, and Jake Cannavale.

Fox’s new mystery series, Murder in a Small Town, premieres Tuesday, September 24.

It’s adapted from L. R. Wright’s nine-book series about detective Karl Alberg, who hopes to escape his city cop life for quieter coastal living but still finds more secrets and murder amidst the small town.

Rossif Sutherland plays Karl Alberg, while Kristin Kreuk portrays Cassandra Mitchell, the local librarian and Alberg’s love interest and muse.

TV Fanatic has the pleasure of chatting with Sutherland and Kreuk, where they shared their enthusiasm for the series and how it differed from other crime procedurals.

Both actors shared that while the weekly cases were fascinating, the series’s draw will be the development of Karl and Cassandra’s relationship. We can’t wait to see that blossom.

While several television series have focused on relationships and sex, not many address the assumptions about sex, feminine appetites, or stereotypes as honestly as Starz’s Three Women does.

The series is based on Lisa Taddeo’s #1 New York Times bestselling book. While adapting a narrative nonfiction book is challenging, the series kept most key elements intact, changing only two major things.

The series follows Gia (Shailene Woodley) as she acts like the real-life Lisa Taddeo and researches and writes her book about relationships and sex in America. Taddeo thought that adding Gia’s character and story made her more relatable, and the other women would likely open up.

The series premiere introduced us to everyone’s stories, beginning with Gia’s.

Many episodes focus on one of the women’s arcs, allowing viewers to learn how Gia interacted with each other and the details of each woman’s journey.

Pulsar Content has boarded “A Survivor’s Tale,” produced by Kg Prods. (“Custody”), the banner founded by Costa Gavras and Michèle Ray-Gavras. The movie is headlined by Salomé Dewaels, the star of Xavier Giannoli’s Venice competition film “Lost Illusions.”

Directed by Belgian filmmaker Micha Wald, ”A Survivor’s Tale” is based on the true story of Marguerite de la Rocque, a young noblewoman abandoned in the wilderness of 16th century Canada. Condemned for being pregnant with a child born from a violent assault, she’s abandoned with her rapist and her maid on a deserted island near Newfoundland.

Marguerite must survive two harrowing years on the “Island of Demons,” facing starvation and the relentless cold. As she battles to keep herself and her unborn child alive, Marguerite’s journey becomes one of profound transformation and emancipation. Orignally titled “L’île de la Demoiselle,” the movie also stars the rising...

As the dust settles on the finale of Evil Season 4, fans are left reeling from the twists, turns, and, of course, those tantalizing loose ends.

We caught up with Katja to chat about the finale, her character’s evolution, and what might be lurking in the shadows of a potential Season 5.

From the moment Evil premiered, we haven’t been able to take our eyes off of Kristen Bouchard. She’s a psychologist, a mother, a reluctant demon hunter, and, let’s not forget, a murderer. But how does Katja see Kristen?

Lamberto Bava’s Demons is one cool cucumber. It’s often hard to tell whether the film is satirizing the cold excess of 1980s horror cinema or indulging it (probably both), and that ambiguity informs even the slacker sequences with latent tension. The premise is simple even for an ultraviolent ghoulie feature: Folks are invited to a mysterious theater for a screening of a horror film and proceed to turn into demons that tear apart the remaining survivors, who soon turn, of course, into more demons.

The Evil Dead is certainly an inspiration, which reflects a cyclical payback of sorts, as Sam Raimi was indebted to Suspiria, and Dario Argento, an executive producer and co-writer of this film, borrowed back on his initial loan, upping the ante even further on the fabulous gore and bladdery effects. This self-referential sense of the narrative eating its own tale is intentional and essential...

I’ve never understood when people say there’s never anything good streaming. There’s always something for everyone, especially on Hulu (this writer’s go-to). The problem is finding it. That’s where Show Snob comes in.

Hulu has a little bit of everything. If you’re into animated comedy, Solar Opposites and Futurama premiered their newest seasons. Wrestling fans have shows like Dark Side of the Ring. There are also a plethora of dramas like The Handmaid's Tale and crime docs like Demons and Saviors.

Stars: Julian Sands, Charlotte Hope, Aoibhe O’Flanagan, Pippa Winslow, Philipp Christopher | Written and Directed by Erlingur Thoroddsen

What are the chances that two films called The Piper, both horror films involving the legend of The Pied Piper, would come out in the same year? And that both would be hard to see? While I haven’t seen the one starring Liz Hurley yet, I did get a chance to see this one – written and directed by Erlingur Thoroddsen and featuring the late Julian Sands in one of his last roles.

It opens with the voice of Gustafson (Sands) on the phone trying to talk Katherine out of destroying the last copy of her Concerto for Children. She tells him “It is evil, no one must ever know about it” before rushing outside to try and burn it in her fire pit. But something with glowing eyes intervenes, and she burns while the manuscript survives.

You’re trying to find something they would like, something recognizable, and you come across something like Robert Cop.

It has become a hobby of mine to see the creativity some of these companies will go to make a buck. But imagine if we took this and applied it to a billion-dollar-making I.P., This is not something new; one of the most famous was the original Battle Star Galactica, which has been accused of being a cheap copy of Star Wars. Another more current example is the BBC America show called “Demons,” which is a blatant rip-off of Buffy. Yet one of the most memorable knockoffs is one that involved two giant companies getting into a fight like two-year-olds in the playground over a toy. I am talking about The X-Men….I mean…Mutant X. A show that, even though it was obvious in its deception, was still a...

Set on a remote pig farm in rural Scotland, The Beast Within tells the surreal story of 10-year-old Willow and her family’s dark transformation secret. Director Alexander J. Farrell crafts his directorial debut within the horror genre, hoping to share thoughtful themes through subtle frights.

Willow witnesses strange events each full moon as her father is taken into the deep woods. Game of Thrones’ Kit Harrington plays gentle but volatile patriarch William, battling inner forces even he can’t understand.

Willow senses the adults are hiding vital truths, overhearing whispers of “change” and the unspoken. Through her young perspective, we experience escalating oddities, from her dad’s bloody return each dawn to the grand country manor’s decaying isolation.

Willow proves wise beyond her years, left to decode the family’s dysfunction alone. As clues mount, Farrell ramps up tension through dreamlike visuals and a delicate score. When Willow...

Underway now through July 16, Severin Films‘ annual summer sale is the most ambitious in the company’s history. The Dario Argento’s Opera five-disc box set — which you can preview in an exclusive clip below — is the headliner, but there are nine more releases in addition to exclusive merchandise and big savings on past inventory.

Here’s everything you need to know about this year’s Severin Summer Sale…

Opera

In my eyes — held open with needles, of course — Opera is Argento’s last true masterpiece. While the Italian maestro attained fleeting moments of greatness later in his oeuvre, Opera is the last of his efforts that can hold its own alongside his earlier, career-defining work like Suspiria, Deep Red, Tenebrae, and The Bird with the Crystal Plumage.

Co-written by Argento and frequent collaborator Franco Ferrini, the giallo stars Cristina Marsillach as Betty, a young opera singer whose big break...

When Tom Hanks has been signed on to a project and the film is an adaptation of a bestselling book that almost overnight became a worldwide sensation, very little could go wrong outside the scope of production. However, in the case of Dan Brown’s Angels and Demons, the scandal that unfolded behind the scenes presented an entirely different scenario.

This time, it was not the studio execs who ruined a perfectly good script with unnecessary notes or censorship. It was the Church itself that descended upon the filmmakers and defended its institution from the outrageous, blasphemous fictional novel about a fictional man obsessed with symbols and adventures.

Imagine Dragons never got the memo that this is supposed to be an era of diminishing returns for big, ambitious, overbearing, oversharing pop-rock bands. It’s been more than a decade since they released their career-making hits “Demons” and “Radioactive,” yet they remain staples of modern rock radio as well as any high school football weight room where the coach won’t allow swear-y rap. This summer, as a number of major acts have had to scale back their tours, the Dragons are out supporting Loom, their sixth album, with shows in 20,000 seat sheds.

In its eighth weekend of May 31- June 2, Case Closed: The Million-dollar Pentagram , the 27th feature film in the Case Closed/Detective Conan anime franchise, earned 229 million yen (1.47 million Usd) on 172,000 admissions according to Kogyo Tsushinsha , 24.7 percent down from last weekend , but keeping the same third-place position. As reported yesterday, the film's official website announced that The Million-dollar Pentagram had earned a cumulative 14.4 billion yen (91.57 million Usd) from 10.06 million ticket sales during its 52-day run through June 2 in Japan. It has already become the highest-grossing film in the C ase Closed/Detective Conan anime franchise, and the 16th top-grossing film of all-time ever released in Japan, surpassing Makoto Shinkai's 2019 film Weathering With You with 14.23 billion yen (90.38 million Usd).

Exclusive: Netflix has launched development on They’ll Never Catch Us, a series adaptation of the bestselling thriller novel by Jessica Goodman from Blumhouse Television, sources tell Deadline.

Published by Razorbill in July 2021, the book revolves around a small town’s high school women’s cross-country team and the secrets unleashed when its star runner is murdered. Goodman and Juliet Lashinsky-Revene are co-writing the adaptation and will exec produce alongside Blumhouse.

A New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, Goodman’s debut novel, They Wish They Were Us, is currently in development with Sydney Sweeney’s production company Fifty-Fifty Films. Also behind titles like The Counselors and The Legacies, the author has seen her works translated into 14 languages. Formerly the op-ed editor at Cosmopolitan magazine, she was part of the 2017 team that won a National Magazine Award in personal service. She has also held editorial positions at Entertainment Weekly and HuffPost,...

After making his inordinately stylish and often hilarious slasher film Stagefright, Dario Argento protégé Michele Soavi teamed up with the maestro for 1987’s The Church, a hallucinatory gothic concoction that was originally intended as the third entry in the Demons series before Lamberto Bava passed the directorial torch to Soavi. Although vastly different in tone and atmosphere than the Bava films, The Church still bears distinct traces of their core idea: Ravening demons are inadvertently let loose to run gruesomely amok within a confined space, in this instance a gothic cathedral located somewhere in Germany.

Where the Demons films take visual media as their primary mode of representation, Soavi and co-writers Argento and Franco Ferrini imbue The Church with a literary bent, which is apt for a story that centers around the interpretation of medieval texts. What’s more, the film overtly references works as disparate as M.R. James’s...

Peacock has announced the lineup of movies, TV shows, and live sports that will be available on the streaming service in May.

Doja Cat was one of the biggest stars to perform at Coachella this year. The singer was in charge of closing out the musical extravaganza, which lasted from April 19th to April 21st.

The event was a colossal success, even if there was a bit of anxiety about the ticket sales. In the end, the three-day event went smoothly, and the American rapper headlined a star-studded night. Aside from her infectious performance, one of the biggest talking points was her singing Wet Vag**a while rolling in a mud bath.

The singer gave an electrifying performance

Doja Cat put on an impressive show at Coachella this year

Amala Ratna Zandile Dlamini, who goes by her stage name Doja Cat, is a very talented singer and rapper. She started as a SoundCloud artist when she was a teenager, and now she is one of the biggest names in the music industry,...

Day Three headliner Doja Cat gave a thrilling end to the weekend’s festivities, bringing an extension of her Scarlet tour to her Sunday night set at Coachella. The Grammy-winning hitmaker last played the festival in 2022; she is the second Black woman to headline the event, after Beyoncé in 2018.

The 28-year-old Mc’s performance was a hard-nosed and hot-blooded spectacle, conceived of pure, unadulterated id. Offering little in the way of stage banter, Doja opened with a sample from Madonna’s biting 1994 anthem, “Human Nature” — then blazed through several tracks off her 2023 album,...

Key highlights this February on the essential, alternative streaming service Arrow include a second season of films from the legendary Brazilian director José Mojica Marins, a devilish double-bill from Spanish director Álex de la Iglesia, a season of wonderfully weird short films, Valentine’s Day done Arrow-style, and much more.

Dario Argento Panico takes its title from an old interview where he said he didn’t want to create a sense of fear in viewers, he wanted to go beyond it and leave them in a state of panic. Its form is also taken from its subject’s past, following him as he isolates himself in a hotel to finish his latest script, something he frequently did early in his career.

I’m not sure that you really can isolate yourself with a film crew looking over your shoulder, but director Simone Scafidi uses this to frame his questions for the interview portions of the film. We actually only see about three seconds of him writing, and are never told what script he’s finishing,...

Small Hours of the Night is screening at International Film Festival Rotterdam

The story,...

Jokes about Singapore being a fine city – meaning that many seemingly small transgressions are punishable with monetary penalties – or the trope about Singapore’s now repealed law against chewing gum would not be lost on filmmaker, writer and film editor Daniel Hui.

He says that his new film “Small Hours of the Night,” which premieres in the Harbour section of the International Film Festival Rotterdam on Saturday, deals with small incidents, small gestures and small emotions. The little things that shape history.

And with just a telephone, an ashtray, a tape recorder, a rough corner of the wall in the film’s opening scenes, the treatment of Hui’s subject matter may be minimalist, but it is also quietly brutal.

“Hui’s film represents a rare political work from Singapore, one that tackles the city state’s iron-fisted policy towards dissent head on. The main character, who is an amalgam...

January has been a crazy month for Screambox with several big releases, including modern classics Horror in the High Desert and its sequel Horror in the High Desert 2: Minerva, as well as Screambox Exclusive Underground.

Also now streaming on Screambox are Lamberto Bava‘s Evil Dead-esque splatter classics Demons and Demons 2!

In Demons, a large group of people invited to attend a screening of a mysterious horror movie quickly find themselves living in one when locked inside with ravenous demons.

“A rocking soundtrack, ’80s energy, and a lot of gruesome demonic fun under Lamberto Bava’s direction makes for one hell of a good time at the movies,” Bd’s Meagan Navarro wrote about this cult classic. “They will make cemeteries their cathedrals, and the cities will be your tombs. They are… the Demons.”

The Scarlet Tour, the debut arena run from Doja Cat, made its way through North America in 2023. Each night, the singer and rapper ran through a discography-spanning setlist in a five-part show that featured a giant snake, a spinning stage, masterful choreography, and more. On Jan. 20, the tour will go from the stage to the screen as Doja Cat premieres The Scarlet Tour in VR via Meta Quest Platform.

The Scarlet Tour in VR was captured in December when Doja Cat took over Little Caesars Arena in Detroit. The concert...

Stars: Julian Sands, Charlotte Hope, Aoibhe O’Flanagan, Pippa Winslow, Philipp Christopher | Written and Directed by Erlingur Thoroddsen

What are the chances that two films called The Piper, both horror films involving the legend of The Pied Piper, would come out in the same year? And that both would be hard to see? While I haven’t seen the one starring Liz Hurley yet, I did get a chance to see the one written and directed by Erlingur Thoroddsen and featuring the late Julian Sands in one of his last roles.

It opens with the voice of Gustafson (Sands) on the phone trying to talk Katherine out of destroying the last copy of her Concerto for Children. She tells him “It is evil, no one must ever know about it” before rushing outside to try and burn it in her fire pit. But something with glowing eyes intervenes, and she burns while the manuscript survives.

Screambox has revealed the new films that are joining the horror streaming service in January 2024, including modern classics Horror in the High Desert and its sequel Horror in the High Desert 2: Minerva, as well as Lamberto Bava’s Demons 1+2 and the Screambox Exclusive Underground.

But first, a cultural crusader strikes in L.A. Slasher on Screambox January 5. The black comedy stars Mischa Barton (“The O.C.”), Eric Roberts (The Dark Knight), Dave Bautista (Guardians of the Galaxy), Danny Trejo (Machete), and comedian Andy Dick as the voice of the killer.

Screambox Exclusive Underground streams on January 9. Inspired by true events, the found footage nightmare finds a bachelorette party trapped in a World War II bunker complex.

Horror in the High Desert and its new sequel, Horror in the High Desert 2: Minerva, join Screambox on January 16. The unsettling found footage franchise delves into mysterious disappearances in the Nevada wilderness.

Doja Cat is now on the last two weeks of her Scarlet concert tour.

This is her second concert tour and supports her fourth studio album, Scarlet. The tour kicked off on October 31 in San Francisco and is scheduled to end in Chicago on December 13.

Though Doja Cat has been successful in her career, this past year has given her some obstacles to surmount. In April, she was accused of being demonic after she revealed a new tattoo of one of Italian philosopher Fortunio Liceti’s mythological creatures.

Later in August, Doja Cat released “Paint the Town Red,” which further pushed the idea of satanic influence in her work. Many listeners wondered if her lyrical choices were actually satanic or just a form of self-expression.

A month before, the 28-year-old lost nearly one million followers after she mocked her fans on social media for calling themselves “kittenz.”

“My fans don...

What’s most shocking about the fact that it’s been 35 years since Mystery Science Theater 3000 began its run on Ktma in Minneapolis-St. Paul is the fact that it’s been only 35 years. Sporting a premise that’s gained added resonance since Covid redefined what it’s like to watch movies in isolation, the series has existed long enough—and in enough iterations—as to feel almost impervious to time, endlessly redefining itself as technology and media consumption mutate and grow, and, more frequently, as circumstances necessitate.

While the show’s hook—a human and their robots joke their way through bad movies—suggests a cynical outlook, its overriding imagination leaves room enough to enjoy both the films being watched and the jokes made at their expense. The classics that MST3K has yielded far exceed the limitations of this list’s format—to say nothing of the multitude of grace notes contained within,...

Doja Cat is defending herself against blackface accusations after teasing a new project.

The 28-year-old rapper and singer posted a teaser video featuring a normal version of herself as well as her Scarlet alter ego, which is her covered in fake blood. (Scarlet is her latest album.)

Some people online mistook the blood for blackface, and Doja had a very blunt response to their comments.

When she performed at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards in September, the “Demons” singer took the stage with a group of dancers all dressed as her Scarlet persona and painted red – not black.

She pointed that out in a series of Instagram Stories responding to the accusations. Doja split up the sentence, “You Have To Be…A Very Special Kind Of F-cking Stupid,” over various photos from that show where it’s clear that the dancers appear red.

In her teaser video,...
