The Simpsons Season 32 Episode 12 The Simpsons Season 32, episode 12, “Diary Queen,” may be the sweetest offering of the series. It’s not only sentimental and self-esteem-positive, it’s downright edumacational. At least for Bart, who certainly learns a lesson. Thankfully, as the episode explains by example, he probably won’t retain it. “What’s the matter, Bart? I figure you’d be used to failing by now,” Edna Krabappel once consoled the spiky haired kid who seemed so determined to get through school without schooling....

Playing one of only four returning characters, one would think that Joel Kinnaman would be carrying some benefits and some baggage into The Suicide Squad. As it turns out, that’s half right: as Kinnaman tells us in an interview, the camaraderie and chemistry with his returning castmates is there, but any baggage of carrying the first movie’s “plot donkey” forward was completely lifted from him by the new director’s tone and style....

Building a crime thriller around that impulse makes the series relatable, says Carmichael. At its heart, the show is about ‘wanting to be a mum and wanting to be the perfect mum.’ As her character’s backstory unfolds, ‘you understand her’ says Carmichael, though ‘she absolutely puts people through hell.’ Whether Agatha could ever be forgiven, she says, is a question for the audience to mull. There’s no talk of a second series as yet for The Secret She Keeps....

Yet, if anything, the past 40 years has seen The Thing become one of the most beloved sci-fi horror movies of all time, influencing everything from Stranger Things to Quentin Tarantino’s The Hateful Eight. To paraphrase Die Hard 2, it was simply a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time, with Carpenter’s sci-fi led gorefest arriving alongside Blade Runner on June 25 of its year, just a few weeks after the family friendly alien fun of E....

Critically mauled on release and largely overlooked in cinemas, John Carpenter’s The Thing has only grown in stature since 1982. What were once condemned as deficiencies – its graphic gore and violence, icy tone and low-key characterization – are now generally regarded as positives. Its simple story about a group of scientists and misfits who encounter a shape-shifting alien in their Antarctic outpost, The Thing has aged remarkably well for a 35-year-old film: Rob Bottin’s practical effects are still extraordinarily imaginative, and fans still debate the finer points of its action today....

We’re glad that the esteemed Mr. del Toro—not just one of our finest modern filmmakers, but one of our most influential proponents of all things fantastical—has finally gotten to make Pinocchio just the way he wanted. But the truth is that it’s just one of many, many projects that del Toro has developed or been attached to over the years that nevertheless eluded him. This one just has a happier ending than many of the other projects....

These images are unofficially accompanied by a post on Geralt actor Henry Cavill’s Instagram account in which he shares this quote from the second Witcher novel, Time of Contempt, which will likely prove to be relevant to the upcoming season’s plot: “‘It may turn out,’ said the white-haired man a moment later, ‘that their comrades or cronies may ask what befell these evil men. Tell them the Wolf bit them....

To say that fans were distraught to hear that Henry Cavill is no longer playing Geralt is an understatement. While some believe that Cavill’s return as Superman and the scheduling conflicts that may ensue is the primary reason for his departure, others aren’t convinced that Cavill wouldn’t find some way to make both roles work. Fans are noting Cavill’s love of the character and the source material, stating that there must be something going on behind the scenes that would cause him to take this opportunity to move on from the show....

But why this sudden rise in the demand for video content? The reason is when people can see you, they relate with you, your brand, and your offerings more. It establishes a direct connection with them to build trust compared to other mediums where they can only read your stuff or listen to them. It not only gives you more exposure, popularity, and engagement but also helps you stand out....

Trigun Stampede Episode 1 “I’m really not much of a fighter….” There are endless anime series that feature hyperbolized action and aloof heroes, but Trigun is a very special piece of ’90s action anime that the genre remains incredibly indebted towards. Trigun’s stamp remains on many series, yet it’s fallen into obscurity over the past few decades. For many anime fans in the 1990s, Trigun was synonymous with genre-bending western gunplay just like how Cowboy Bebop was for bounty hunter space operas....

Sorry, I was just doing a little light roleplaying as True Detective writer and creator Nic Pizzolatto. To get into character, I went outside and starred into the eye of a dead raccoon I found in the street while pounding cans of Lone Star. Anyway, welcome to the True Detective Awards! Each week, we’ll be breaking down all of the big moments from True Detective Season 3, honoring each episode’s best, strangest, and most hard-boiled scenes with completely arbitrary, silly awards that I made up....

Series one saw the duo called to investigate the remains of a man long-buried under the foundations of a London home, while series two began with the discovery of a skeleton dredged up from the River Lea. Series three was the distressing story of a missing teenager whose body was discovered under the central reservation of a motorway. Series four, which starts with the discovery of a body stored for decades in a domestic freezer, will star New Tricks’ Sheila Hancock, Killing Eve’s Susan Lynch, Wanderlust’s Andy Nyman and more....

Van Helsing Season 2 Episode 6 “And here we are. Home at last.” Whether or not truth prevails depends on whose truth one believes. What is true, however, is that Van Helsing once again manages to shock its audience as the mystery of Vanessa’s origin story ratchets up more than a few notches. “Veritas Vincit” seamlessly introduces a dynamic character with the potential to completely alter the landscape in the human race’s battle for survival, but as always, things may not be quite as they seem....

Vikings has always been concerned with legacy: that of the Vikings themselves, and of Ragnar and his sons. It’s clear from the show’s coda – Ubbe and Floki side by side on a distant beach, contemplating existence as the sun glows down upon the endless stretch of ocean before them – that the two ultimately are inseparable. Bound up in this spider’s web of myth and mayhem, too, is the fate and legacy of the show itself....

Vikings Season 4 Episode 19 “On The Eve” should rightly be viewed as the second part of a season ending trilogy, and coming on the heels of last week’s horrific conclusion, nobody could blame Michael Hirst if he chose to go heavy on the exposition to set up what will undoubtedly will be a spectacular finish. But this is Vikings, and that’s not how it rolls. “On the Eve” provides significant insight into the minds of a number of the major players as the history of western Europe continues to evolve, but make no mistake, the Lothbrok clan continues to be a force with which to be reckoned....

Vikings Season 6 Episode 10 “Today it is a sad day; we lost a child. But it will be far worse to lose a country.” It would appear that the gods have, in fact, abandoned Bjorn Ironside. Now that it nears the end of its six season run, there’s not much Vikings hasn’t already shown us, but by continuing its experimentation with a challenging nonlinear narrative in the mid-season finale, the series takes viewers on a surreal journey that brings the Lothbrok brothers together and ends with the death of the man who would be king....

WandaVision Episode 7 There are only a couple of episodes left of WandaVision and in case you were worried you’d have to wait and see who has been behind the nefarious nature of Westview then worry no longer. As we hit the end of WandaVision episode 7, “Breaking the Fourth Wall,” we learn who’s been pulling the strings. And while you might be expecting one of the two big bads we discover today, the last one might take you by surprise....

If you want to build a femtech startup to solve women’s issues and help them lead a better life, you can actually create a profitable business out of it while contributing to women’s empowerment. People, irrespective of their gender, have started discussing women’s issues and finding solutions to them on the global stage. According to Statista, the global femtech market was valued at $22 billion in 2020 and could reach $60 billion by 2027....

But then in September, Andrew got some great news. He was cast alongside Brad Pitt in a new David Leitch film called Bullet Train. Cinemax released Warrior Season 2 on schedule and new episodes will arrive through November when Bruce Lee would have been celebrating his 80th birthday. Koji spoke with Den of Geek about Warrior, Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins, and much more. Den of Geek: What was your favorite Bruce Lee movie?...

To help answer that question, we first have to define what a JRPG is and what separates that subgenre from tabletop RPGs, CRPGs, ARPGs, strategy RPGs, and every other type of role-playing game out there. The problem is that defining a JRPG has always been an especially contentious topic. It seems easy to say that a JRPG is an RPG made in Japan, but even that definition doesn’t satisfy everyone....
