When it comes to current gaming trends, it’s hard to look past the Battle Royale subgenre of multiplayer shooters. Both Fortnite and PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds have been making serious waves because of their addictive and competitive gameplay. All the while, these big players have been taking in some serious financial returns in the process, and as such it’s no surprise to see that some other games have tried to emulate this success....

Very rarely does lightning strike twice. When a movie becomes successful, the first instinct of the studio is to make a sequel as soon as possible. Once the law of diminishing returns kicks in, however, we find that many sequels are criticized for being derivative of their predecessors, and rightly so. Sometimes, a sequel opts not to replicate the success of the original, but to explore a new direction. The films on this list refused to be beholden to the rules of their predecessors, and offered uniquely different experiences from what audiences may have been expecting....

With its wacky humor, creative special effects, and natural chemistry between its four leading stars, Ghostbusters became an instant classic when it premiered in 1984. Written by and starring Harold Rammis, it followed the adventures of three paranormal professors who, after getting fired from Columbia University, decide to start their own paranormal extermination business. Later, they get a new recruit who perfectly rounds up the gang. The humor in Ghostbusters spans the gambit of jocularity, from Dan Aykroyd’s slapstick to Bill Murray’s laconic dry wit....

There may be a reboot of Gossip Girl coming soon, but fans of the New York-based teen drama will always want to watch re-runs of the original. There’s just something about the story of Serena van der Woodsen (Blake Lively), her equally beautiful and fashionable and wealthy best friend Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester), and their family and friends. Whether they’re coming up with grand plans or just hanging out, we want to watch them....

The success of Marvel’s first decade of media has inspired a lot of fans to do a lot of different things. From cosplay, to fan films, to memes–there’s no shortage of fan-made content in the MCU. It ranges from weird, to sad, to downright hilarious, much of the fan art shared by the Marvel actors themselves. While fans await the next “phase” of the MCU–starting with Black Widow in May–they can browse plenty of fan-generated content to satiate them in the meantime....

Sonic the Hedgehog’s first live-action trailer just dropped, and fans are—honestly, a little frightened. The opening for the trailer looked promising enough. A jaded cop (James Marsden, X-Men) is surprised when his police radar reads 760 miles per hour. Upon investigating, he finds but one shining blue hair. And then right away we’re hit with the nostalgia: the golden rings circling the Paramount opening sequence, the familiar Sega logo, and its accompanying ringing sound, and the iconic spinning blue furball....

We’ve already made a list detailing some of the strangest creations by the despised film studio The Asylum, which creates “mockbusters” (B-movies intended to capitalize on the success of a similarly-titled film released around the same time), but guess what? There are more. In case you desired a second collection of The Asylum’s most bizarre hits (like Sunday School Musical and Transmorphers), we’ve delivered with a somewhat disparaging guide to The Asylum’s most heinous attempts at “cashing in” on the popularity of Hollywood films that are better than ninety-nine percent of what they’ve created....

When the Farrelly brothers started working on a romantic comedy, a lot of their fans might have thought they were going soft. These guys were the first name in gross-out comedy, thanks to the slapstick gags and scatological humor in Dumb and Dumber and Kingpin. They’d become famous for making outrageous movies that pushed the boundaries of political correctness, so it seemed like a shame that they were wasting their talents on a love story....

Netflix is pretty much the best and worst thing to ever happen to society. We can spend hours on there, and it is pretty much what everyone does after work—comes home and gets stuck in. It can seem as if the streaming choices on there are unlimited. People are always looking for the best stuff on there but the truth is, the bad choices are underrated. Netflix has a bunch of movies so utterly terrible that they’re hilariously entertaining to watch, and we’ve rounded up the best ten here....

RuPaul’s Drag Race is definitely one of the most well-known and popular reality television competitions currently on television. While sadly, the show isn’t available to stream on Netflix, there are some other shows you can watch to get your fix. Drag Race is a dynamic, creative show that’s full of humor, emotion, and inspiring talent. There are many other series you can watch on Netflix that can fulfill these same things, even if they aren’t quite the same....

Like vacationing, watching foreign movies is a great way to learn about other cultures from around the world. And, you never have to find your passport or leave the comfiness of your bed. In relation, horror fans can see what makes people from all over scared. Japan, for example, is fearful of vengeful spirits like the onryō. Meanwhile, there’s the concern of dangerous youths in the United Kingdom. No matter what causes it, fear is a universal concept....

Any ‘90s kids is familiar with the NBC sitcom Saved by the Bell, which aired for four seasons from 1989 to 1993. Following the stories of a group of high school friends, each fitting into a specific archetype, the show was funny but also tackled serious issues like drug use, homelessness, and women’s rights. Ushering in a whole new generation of school shows, the series left its mark in pop culture, along with some seriously hilarious lines....

True crime documentaries and podcasts have become incredibly popular in recent years. It’s a lot of fun to watch, hear, or read about the real-life story about a mysterious crime that took place. Whether it was recent or some time ago, they’re a ton of fun to watch and learn about and speculate about the details of the case. For people that are interested in the darker side of life, these documentaries can be a lot of fun to watch....

These days when people think about J.K. Rowling they often think about all of the changes she has made to Harry Potter canon after the fact. With Pottermore, the Fantastic Beasts movies, and her Twitter, Rowling just can’t stop talking about the franchise and adding and changing things about the canon. However, there were some things that Rowling almost included in the books but ended up cutting out. These moments could have changed the books significantly, but instead, they were put in the bin....

It may not be your cup of tea, which we can wholeheartedly understand, but Dexter remains one of the most popular television shows of its generation. The idea behind it was viewed as risky and the execution was even riskier, but for the most part, fans still praise certain portions of it to this day. We say certain portions because we all know that it went slightly off the side of a cliff towards the end, but in the first season, they were still in the honeymoon period and it was as fresh and interesting as anything we’d ever seen before....

The mean girl has been a classic Hollywood archetype for years. Chris Hargensen in Carrie. Blair Waldorf in Gossip Girl. Cheryl Blossom in Riverdale. We all know this girl. She’s rich, beautiful, and out for emotional blood. On Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Cordelia Chase was that girl. She puts the hell in Hellmouth. At the beginning of the series, it seemed like Cordelia’s sole purpose was to terrorize the Scooby Gang, save for the times she needed to be rescued....

Over the past nine years, we’ve seen lots of big budget blockbusters and comic book movies hit the big screen. While popcorn movies pull in impressive box office numbers, more independent films can sometimes fall to the wayside. Since 2010, there have been a plethora of memorable films that deserved bigger audiences and better reviews. Here are ten underrated films from the 2010s. Mother! (2017) Darren Aronofsky’s psychological thriller Mother! garnered decent reviews from critics, but caused controversy upon its release and even earned three Golden Raspberry Award nominations, including Worst Actress for the film’s lead Jennifer Lawrence....

The key to choosing the right workout app is selecting the ones that suit your activity. If you’re a runner, then a running app makes sense. If you prefer weight-lifting, then look for a weight-lifting app. If you enjoy multiple activities, then make sure the workout app includes them all. 1.

Although Captain America: Civil War will be the thirteenth entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it doesn’t mean that the anticipation of what happens next in the Universe isn’t at an all-time high. Especially given that the next entry is an adaptation of a much-loved, and slightly controversial, comic book story arc. Set to kick of Phase 3 of the MCU in a couple of months, Civil War will pit our heroes against one another in an epic showdown....

Marvel fans were left devastated earlier this year when Netflix decided to cancel The Punisher after just two seasons. After years of waiting, we finally had a screen version of Frank Castle who was as brutally violent as he is in the comics. Jon Bernthal had nailed the character’s gruff mentality and fans were excited to see his story continue on the streaming service for years to come. But then Netflix decided to gut all of its shows with ties to Disney in the wake of Disney’s challenge to them with the announcement of Disney+....
