An Earnest Attempt to Explain What Marvel Is Even Doing Anymore The new Fantastic Four kicks off the MCU’s “Phase 6,” which could finally clean up the mess of the multiverse.

Now that we’re in the final stretch before “Avengers: Doomsday” and “Secret Wars,” I dove into where Marvel’s multiverse plans currently stand, the who’s who and what’s where, and how (if at all) this mess will all come together: www.vulture.com/article/an-e...

So psyched for this! Bring back big studio comedies!!

The ‘Serpent’s Paths’: Kiyoshi Kurosawa revisits the horrors of child trafficking New York’s Japan Cuts festival plays host to Kiyoshi Kurosawa's lo-fi 1998 Japanese thriller and its 2024 French remake.

Kiyoshi Kurosawa's lo-fi 1998 thriller "The Serpent's Path," and the French remake he recently directed, represents two opposing gateways to the same, unsettling story about how much people are willing to compartmentalize in the name of revenge. #JapanCuts joysauce.com/the-serpents...

'The Naked Gun' Is The Smartest Dumb Comedy In Years Akiva Schaffer's self-aware genre spoof is also the ultimate Liam Neeson movie.

"The Naked Gun" is the smartest dumb comedy in years, and the ultimate Liam Neeson vehicle. A mile-a-minute joke mill aimed at skewering cultural nostalgia, while keeping the talents of its incredible ensemble (especially Pamela Anderson) in focus. A riot. www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

WWE: Unreal Season 1 Review - IGN If WWE’s “business is about telling stories,” then this overproduced docuseries crafts a whopper.

Netflix docuseries “WWE: Unreal” promises a creative exposé but it’s just corporate branding, removing all friction from the process—the reason modern wrestling fans pay attention to real-life backstage drama. They should’ve left it to the YouTube amateurs www.ign.com/articles/wwe...

Imax Makes Its Move Big screens and high-resolution images are leading to even bigger results at the box office.

Don’t love publishing this the same day IMAX announces its AI film festival, but maybe it’ll serve as a reminder of how much people love (and associate the brand with) tactile filmmaking and visceral experiences.

‘The Fantastic Four: First Steps’ review: One of the best MCU films in years Marvel nails the First Family’s big-screen relaunch.

The last half decade has made me the resident Marvel grump—so trust me when I say “First Steps” is a delight. Imaginative. Passionate. Funny! Shouldn’t have taken 30 years to get the Fantastic Four right, but I couldn’t have asked for more. Left me beaming mashable.com/article/fant...

Why Everyone in Fantastic Four: First Steps Is Obsessed With a Baby Reed Richards and Sue Storm’s son, Franklin, is poised to be a major player heading into Marvel’s Avengers: Doomsday.

Why is everyone in "Fantastic Four: First Steps" obsessed with a baby? As always, the answers lie in the comics, but the MCU's adaptations thus far could hint at how "Avengers: Doomsday" and "Secret Wars" might use Franklin Richards...

Siddhant's one of the best film critics working today. A real big-leaguer, professional and insightful.

A Secret War Is Brewing in The Fantastic Four: First Steps’s Post-Credits Scene The movie’s mid- and post-credits scenes cheekily show us where the fab four have been, while also hinting at where they’ll be headed next.

On those "Fantastic Four: First Steps" post-credit scenes: a major debut and a minor gag www.vulture.com/article/fant...

No idea if a single person follows me who could hire Siddhant, but he’s the number one voice I trust to tell me what to do with my entertainment dollars! He’s never steered me wrong in like a decade+ of reading his work!

Will definitely take you up on that!
