Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is currently crushing at the box office, breaking Labor Day weekend records and showing the world that movies are back in the theaters. The first film of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s current timeline in Phase 4, Shang-Chi not only introduces a brand new hero – but also gave us a wonderful story of family and ancestry that goes well beyond the superhero genre. It also gave us two post-credits scenes that really shape the future of the MCU. Now, the film’s director breaks those scenes down a bit. Director and co-writer Destin…

Last night, on August 20th, 2021, the impossible happened. If you have been a wrestling fan at all in the last decade, there is one polarizing figure that has been absent for over seven years. Despite his absence completely from the pro wrestling world, fans still chant his name at any and every opportunity. Even though fans have craved his return something fierce, it seemed like an improbable, far fetched dream that would never come to fruition. Dreams do come true, though, and the Best in the World, CM Punk returned to the ring for AEW Rampage! After walking out…

Whether you saw it in theaters or in the comfort of your home on HBO Max, it is hard to deny the fun, exciting and dark take on these D-List characters that Gunn turned into household names. And, while many of the characters met their demise in some shape or form, we did get the survival of arguably the most beloved characters in the film: Bloodsport, Harley Quinn, King Shark, and Ratcatcher 2. However, that last one almost didn’t make…

There are times when a movie makes a mark on fans and becomes a beloved classic, yet for some reason doesn’t quite measure up in its initial box office release to warrant a sequel. These ‘cult classic’ films are almost always talked about with revelry and fans wonder why we never got another film from the franchise. One such film is the Hugh Jackman led Real Steel. Directed by Free Guy director, Shawn Levy, the movie that is loosely based on the classic board game ‘Rock’em Sock’em Robots’ not only had great robotic boxing action, but had a lot of…

When the Disney/Fox merger happened, fans were so excited to see franchises like X-Men and the Fantastic Four to be rebooted and done properly in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, there is one character that is already done to perfection, and that is Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool.
