Star Wars has a lot of characters, and fans love to point like Leo whenever their Glup Shitto shows up. Andor has had a few randomly familiar faces pop in here and there, and since this season is going right into Rogue One, we’ll be seeing more of ’em—just don’t go expecting everyone to be played by their original actor. In a recent interview with the Hollywood Reporter, showrunner Tony Gilroy discussed how the real world and some “budgetary issues” required some adjusting to the show’s season

If The Fantastic Four: First Steps were the first Fantastic Four movie, it might look a lot different. As it stands, though, it’s actually the fourth movie based on Marvel’s first family, and according to its filmmakers, that made a big impact. Speaking to Entertainment Weekly in a very extensive piece, the film’s director Matt Shakman spoke about how the decision to make the main villain Galactus (played by Ralph Ineson in a suit) was, in part, a result of the previous films not doing that. “D

The second season of The Last of Us is going to make people mad, sad, and uncomfortable. It’s exciting, bold, tense, and in some moments, damn near transcendent.

Based on the hit PlayStation game by Naughty Dog, The Last of Us returns April 13 with the first entry in the seven-episode second season. We’ve seen all seven already, and while this review will not spoil anything, we will say this: get ready. S

George Romero's first horror film is an easy recommendation. A group of survivors take refuge in a house while members of the undead swarm outside. The influential flick is often regarded as the first modern zombie movie, and while it may not offer Freddy Krueger-level frights, you'll be drawn in by the characters at the center of its story. You're going to want to leave the door open for this one (but in the case of an actual apocalypse, keep it very, very shut).
