‘Thor: Ragnarok’ Will Head To Planet Hulk’s Sakaar By Angie Han/Dec. 20, 2016 2:00 pm EST Thor: Ragnarok might not be a Planet Hulk movie per se, but it’s becoming increasingly obvious that it will borrow heavily from that source material.

LOL: Watch Steve From ‘Stranger Things’ And Jean-Ralphio From ‘Parks & Rec’ Realize They’re Related By Angie Han/Sept. 23, 2016 11:30 am EST Stranger Things has given way to a great many conspiracy theories, but perhaps none more convincing than “Steve is really the father of Jean-Ralphio from Parks & Recreation.” The evidence is incontrovertible: the two guys kind of look alike, and both characters hail from Indiana, and… actually, that’s about it....

New ‘Baby Driver’ Images Show Off Edgar Wright’s New Movie (And Jamie Foxx’s Great Jacket) By Jacob Hall/Jan. 23, 2017 4:30 pm EST What I find most intriguing about Baby Driver is that the barebones synopsis sounds like something we’ve seen a hundred times before: a talented getaway driver meets a girl, decides to leave his life of crime behind, and gets sucked into a job that puts everything on the line....
