Update: President Trump has blocked Broadcom’s takeover of Qualcomm, citing national security concerns. Some 13 years after Intel turned down the opportunity to make the CPU for the upcoming iPhone, it is now considering the world’s biggest ever tech acquisition to deal with the threat that decision continues to pose today.

But even with this serious love, Whovians are always ready to make jokes about the series....

It’s easy to write off J.J. Abrams as a one-trick pony based on the fact that his Star Wars movie, The Force Awakens, was a rehash of A New Hope and had little of its own merits to offer. But back in 2009, he proved himself to be a great director – and a great rebooter of beloved franchises – with his Star Trek movie. Abrams himself has admitted that he wasn’t a huge Trek fan when he took on the job, but this distance from the source material might be the key to what made his reboot so great....

Creating good characters in the middle of the capitalist, pop culture-drenched whirlwind that is TV is a small miracle, relying on so many people (the writers, the casting director, the actor, the designers, the costumers) to execute things correctly. Sometimes, even if you do everything perfectly, things will still end on a sour note. There are two types of bad endings to character arcs....

Based on Jay Asher’s novel of the same name, 13 Reasons Why arrived on Netflix in 2017. Its first season told the story of Hannah Baker’s suicide, through a series of flashbacks which detailed the “13 reasons why” she had taken her own life.

What were some of the major flaws in logic throughout the animated movie-musical?...

Among the numerous TV shows and movies made about the mob, Boardwalk Empire sits at the top with the likes of The Sopranos and Goodfellas.

Throughout its run, Boardwalk Empire was nominated for 11 Emmys in total and won three....

It might be the start of a new year for us, but unfortunately for some popular Netflix shows, 2019 marks the end of an era. Netflix always cleans house at the end of the year by ushering in new shows/movies and kicking out others, but last year they announced some cancellations that left some die-hard fans reeling. Many popular Marvel shows have gotten the boot, long-standing shows such as House of Cards have finally come to an end, and original shows like American Vandal will not be renewed this year....

The Walking Dead saga, including the comics, has been ongoing since way back in 2003, which gives you a pretty good idea as to how loyal some of the franchise’s biggest fans are. While that may be the case, there’s no way of getting around the fact that the popularity of the TV adaptation has been struggling in recent years, in addition to the comics, which have actually stopped altogether....

In 1984, Ghostbusters hit theatres and captivated a generation with its signature charm and humor that would be considered iconic in the years to come. Starring Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis, and Ernie Hudson as the main cast’s fantastic four, the film is regarded as a timeless classic today. 1989 would bring the release of the slightly-inferior Ghostbusters 2, which featured more misadventures from our favorite unlikely heroes. Both Ghostbusters films are undoubtedly classics, but one thing that ages them terribly is Annie Potts’s role....

Television crossovers have been happening for years, and have become more prevalent in recent years (thanks, in large part, to Dick Wolf’s canonical universe). Now, it’s almost a given that television shows existing within the same universe will cross over at some point. Superhero series, in particular, have been doing this with frequency lately, exemplified in the fact that Arrow and The Flash writers have created once-a-year crossover events, and The Flash just made a special appearance for an episode on CBS’s Supergirl....

Since 2001, the Oscars have done their best to honor outstanding achievements in the field of animation. Sometimes, they get it right, having honored such animated classics as Miyazaki’s Spirited Away and Pixar’s Up. Other times, however, the rightful winners are left on the sidelines in favor of more mainstream favorites such as Frozen. Or in some cases, like The Lego Movie, the films that likely deserved the win are left unacknowledged entirely, without even so much as a nomination....
