A Movie About A Real Apple Store Robbery Is Dominating Netflix's Top Charts

1 day ago | slashfilm.com | Joe Roberts

Netflix is known for many things, but true crime (like that disturbing documentary about Kidfluencers) and barely serviceable thrillers (I'm looking at you and your Die Hard-like action movie, Dylan Sprouse) are surely two of the most salient. Now, the streamer has combined the two into the ultimate piece of Netflix "content" and wouldn't you know it, the result is a worldwide mega-hit.
This Is Your Chance To Live In Frasier's Actual Apartment (If You're Rich)

1 day ago | slashfilm.com | Joe Roberts

Anyone who grew up on '90s sitcoms will surely have envisioned themselves living in Frasier's high-end downtown Seattle condo. Dr. Crane's home at the Elliot Bay Towers was pure fantasy, with its completely unrealistic view of the Space Needle and tastefully decorated interior that a radio psychiatrist almost certainly couldn't afford. How much does Frasier's apartment actually cost?

Superman will soon take to the skies again, and DC Studios co-head James Gunn is keen for us all to watch. With the upcoming "Superman," the director has seemingly crafted an ode to the Man of Steel's essential and unwavering goodness to remind us that such a thing exists during a time when the world seems to be perpetually suspended in a state of tumult and disarray.
Why Emily Deschanel Won't Star In A Show Like Bones Ever Again

2 days ago | slashfilm.com | Joe Roberts

We are firmly in the age of "newstalgia," a streaming trend that involves unearthing beloved series and films from the past and presenting them to new generations. It's happened with "Friends" and "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and countless movies that have been exhumed by Netflix and added to the platform's capacious servers. But this trend doesn't have to involve shows that went off the air decades ago.

If you know anything about Arnold Schwarzenegger, or even if you've just seen "Pumping Iron," you'll know that the man is used to winning. This is a guy who left his small Austrian town to become arguably the greatest bodybuilder in history, before transitioning to Hollywood where he became the biggest star in the world, only to then become governor of California.
The Comic Series That Reimagined One Of James Bond's Most Famous Enemies

3 days ago | slashfilm.com | Joe Roberts

With Amazon taking control of the James Bond franchise, speculation about how the saga might be rinsed for all its worth has abounded. Surely Jeff Bezos and co. will try to wring as many James Bond spin-offs out of this thing as possible, and while that might result in some interesting off-shoots from the main franchise, fans aren't necessarily jazzed at the prospect. But perhaps they needn't fret. After all, there have been Bond spin-offs for years, just not on-screen.

What are we to do in an age where streaming services are so crammed with content (yet never seem to have the movie I want) to the point we're paralysed by the tyranny of choice? Well, we can start by not paying for the privilege, and free streamer Tubi just happens to have what might be the most capacious catalog of media in the streaming game.
Bones Season 4's Most Controversial Scene Has Somehow Gotten Worse With Age

4 days ago | slashfilm.com | Joe Roberts

During its run "Bones" was beloved by fans for its off-kilter mix of humor, crime, and horror. Typically, leads Emily Deschanel and David Boreanaz would engage in some witty banter immediately before the show unleashed some sort of upsettingly realistic cadaver, which made "Bones" a truly unique experience.
The Gilligan's Island & Stairway To Heaven Mashup That Survived Led Zeppelin's Legal Threats

"The Ballad of Gilligan's Isle" is surely one of the most significant TV themes of all time, and not just due to its widespread popularity. For some reason the beloved theme has endured multiple music-related debacles and courted controversy ever since the moment show creator Sherwood Schwartz and songwriter George Wyle brought it into existence.
