Blockbusters don’t have to be all flash and no substance. It’s certainly possible to tell an entertaining story that also makes us think about serious issues and conflicting arguments. At least within the context of the movie itself. Some of our favorite nerdy/geeky movies include big ideological conflicts that pit the characters of the story against each other. In this list we’re looking at movies where there are disagreements about serious issues the characters face; where their differing views drive the story as much as any material interest or personal agenda....

Also, the 8Gb iPod Touch will be dropped from the lineup according to the source. It might also make sense that the 8Gb iPhone would get phased out as well, but it wasn’t mentioned in the tip. Inventories will likely be a big factor in the timing so we’re keeping an eye out for shortages. The price drops are likely to make some price spacing for the newer 3G iPhones that are expected to be released later this year – perhaps with the tablets....

The films of the Marvel Cinematic Universe are famous for their Easter eggs and post-credits stingers. A lot of the time, these teases seem to set up future movies in the franchise, but since the studio releases three movies a year and all three usually have more than one sequel setup in them, it’s not logistical to pay off every single one. Now that a lot of the story has been paid off in Avengers: Endgame, a movie with no post-credits stinger (apart from the sound of a hammer calling back to Iron Man), the MCU has a chance to catch up with itself....

The West Wing aired on NBC between 1999 and 2006, winning multiple Emmys and accolades.

This has allowed fans to pick up on so many things that were initially missed during the big-screen experience....

Much like in films, TV series’ are often more than happy to pretend certain elements of their continuity never happened so that their future installments can be better, make more sense, or simply keep going.

Since releasing on Netflix in 2015, Grace and Frankie has gone on to six seasons (with its seventh and final season releasing next year) and inspiring women of all ages that they can do anything they put their minds to.

A role in a show produced by Shonda Rhimes can be a ticket to stardom. Rhimes has been responsible for huge hits like Scandal, Station 19, How to Get Away With Murder (HTGAWM), and the long-running Grey’s Anatomy. The actors who appear on these shows instantly become the source of internet speculation and tabloid gossip, and they quickly become contenders for the A-list. A few seasons on a hit show can be enough to propel an aspiring thespian to big-budget studio fare and large paychecks, so it’s not surprising that many Shondaland stars try to parlay their stints into bigger and better things....

The Flash, along with Arrow, were the two flagship DC TV shows that were successful in creating the popular Arrowverse, which later came to be populated by a wide variety of DC comic characters without having to rely on Superman, Wonder Woman or Batman to be at the center of things. Over 6 seasons, The Flash has explored the life and times of the fastest man alive… who can somehow react slowly enough to be overpowered fairly regularly....

When Syfy announced it was adapting Terry Gilliam’s 1995 sci-fi thriller Twelve Monkeys (itself an adaptation of the 1962 short film La Jetée), it was a safe to say more than a few people were somewhat skeptical. After all, like many Gilliam movies, Twelve Monkeys found an enthusiastic fan base devoted to the film’s twisty notions of time, destiny, and madness, and a television adaptation may have seemed an unlikely source to continue (or retell) the story presented in the film....

Traditionally Christmas movies are full of joy, laughter, lovable characters, complicated romances and happy endings. If you’re looking for family-friendly tales they will frequently involve Santa, reindeers, elves and present delivery related dramas, along with a good old fashioned moral. Mostly these festive tales are sweet and saccharin with extra candy canes and twinkling lights. But what if you hate that? For those of you who are more Grinch than gift-giver or who simply want to watch something that you haven’t already seen so many times, we’ve pulled together a list of non-traditional Christmas movies....

It remains to be seen what the 2010s will be reminded for, but one interesting aspect of the previous decade’s identity was its love for nostalgia. Shows like Stranger Things fed off the audience’s fascination with the past while Hollywood brought back some beloved franchises for major comebacks. While not every return to the past was welcomed, some of the decade’s biggest hits came from older properties that are remembered fondly....

A hilarious, tongue-in-cheek animated show about the future, Futurama almost always makes us laugh. From Zoidberg’s lack of understanding of medicine to the Professor’s increasingly nutty/useless inventions, and from Fry’s general ineptitude to Bender’s latest crime, this series from Matt Groening makes us all want to freeze ourselves to see the year 3000. But everything isn’t always laughter and zooming through space for this crew. The show’s entire premise is pretty dark: a young man gets trapped, is thrust a thousand years into the future, and never sees his family again....

It seems that every great book out there is getting turned into a movie these days. Part of the reason for this is that better CGI has allowed Hollywood to bring to life imagery that practical effects never could achieve in decades past, while another reason no doubt has to do with the finite amount of creative originality in Hollywood forcing them to turn to outside sources for help....
