Kevin Smith’s best films have always been his smallest and most personal works; as a filmmaker, his legacy is a fascinating one, as his attempts at more mainstream Hollywood flicks have never been as creatively successful as the films he increasingly makes specifically for his loyal fanbase. This comes out specifically in the Clerks series, which Smith seems to use as a way of processing big turning points in his life: The original Clerks, of course, was all about the malaise of being in your 20s and not being sure about what to do with your life (its success solving that latter problem for Smith, at least initially). Clerks II, arriving during the middle portion of Smith’s career, focuses a lot on what it means to settle down, get married, start a family, and embrace what you love doing, ...
Kevin Smith thinks Warner Bros. Discovery can’t tell the difference between a hero and a villain, saying it’s “an incredibly bad look to cancel the Latina Batgirl movie,” while moving forward with The Flash, whose star Ezra Miller is acting like “the reverse Flash in real life.” The conversation came as part of his ongoing web series Hollywood Babble-On, which was recorded at Flapper’s Comedy Club in Burbank, CA. “I don’t give a shit how bad the Batgirl movie is,” Smith said. “Nobody in that movie [is] very complicated or [has] anything in their real life you have to market around. But in The Flash movie, we all know there’s a big problem.” “Yeah, Flash is a supervillain,” his co-host Ralph Garman quipped, referencing the multiple...

The Pitch: Following directly from the original ’80s cartoon He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, the battle between He-Man (Chris Wood) and Skeletor (Mark Hamill) continues to rage over Eternia and the magical powers of Castle Grayskull. But in the wake of Eternia’s most devastating battle yet, the Power Sword is split in twain and the planet is fragmented, thrown into an anarchic wasteland without magic or hope. Without the power of He-Man to rely on, it’s up to Man-at-Arms’ daughter Teela (Sarah Michelle Gellar) and her cohorts — including old faces like Orko (Griffin Newman) and Moss-Man (Alan Oppenheimer), as well as new faces like Teela’s partner in crime Andra (Tiffany Smith) — to reforge the Sword and save the universe. Back to Battle-Cat Basics: At first blush, Kevin Smith...

“I have the power!” Netflix has unveiled the first full-length trailer for its upcoming animated series Masters of the Universe: Revelation. The clip reintroduces fans to the world of Eternia, which is slowly losing its magic long after the events of the 1980s series He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. “I built a life of truth, away from magic. Now you want me to save magic?” Sarah Michelle Gellar’s Teela, captain of Eternia’s royal guard, demands as she angrily tosses her tiara-like helmet to the ground. The answer to Teela’s query appears to be ‘yes,’ as she joins forces once again with Prince Adam (voiced by The Vampire Diaries’ Chris Wood) to protect their planet from Mark Hamill’s villainous Skeletor. “Whatever became of Eternia, we’ll face it. Together. No one else dies,” the pri...
