‘The Leftovers’ Series Finale Won’t Have Any Dangling Threads Or Spinoff Possibilities By Jack Giroux/April 7, 2017 6:30 am EST The Leftovers third season is a continuation of everything the second season got right. Co-creators Damon Lindelof and Tom Perotta once again take their drama into new, unexpected, and even stranger territory. Right from the very start of the final season, it feels like anything goes. There’s a great, almost free-wheeling sensibility to this season, despite how dense and full each episode is....

Kevin Feige Calls For A Truce In The MCU Vs DCEU Wars By Chris Evangelista/Nov. 8, 2017 2:30 pm EST The animosity between Marvel and DC fans can sometimes be overwhelming.
