An early editor of Creem who also wrote for the Village Voice, Rolling Stone, and Newsday, Marsh wrote one of the earliest and most influential Bruce Springsteen biographies, Born to Run: The Bruce Springsteen Story, in 1979. He died on August 14 at his home
There’s something about drawing stick figures with weapons and monsters in the margins of your homework that stands the test of time. Even in the age of iPads and Minecraft, give most kids a pencil and paper (and, even better, a piece of schoolwork to procrastinate), and they will find their way into the age-old
The LEGO Group have a range of LEGO Minifigure sets on the horizon and some of them have leaked online as well as the all-important pricing. There’s a Mario’s Beach Adventure set coming along with Yoshi at Mario’s House, a Mario Kart set, and more. These sets with Mario minifigures are scheduled to be released
My Rating ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4 out of 5. “The Witching Hour” Jerry Dandrige has returned from Hell with the help of Elaha, Queen of Vampires. Now, Charley Brewster and Peter Vincent must join forces once again to stop the master vampire from sucking his way through the entire town of Rancho Corvallis. Not that it
Indie films helped drive a terrific box office weekend with Jane Schoenbrun’s Teenage Sex And Death At Camp Miasma from Mubi a standout. The edgy director with a dedicated fan base of her own tapped the youthful audience that flocked to Obsession and Backrooms as well as fans of the The X-Files (Gillian Anderson stars),
Courtesy of 20th Century Fox “Be afraid. Be very afraid.” I find fans tend to fear the remake. We worry any new iteration of our favorite films “won’t get it”. We mourn for “originality”. Some even weep at the thought of a new take somehow swatting the original down like a pesky insect. But that’s
In 1999, 13-year-old Domingo José Sepulveda’s beloved Papi died. “I knew that there was an invisible line splitting everything between the moment he lived and the moment he died. This was the beginning of the other side,” he muses in the opening pages of Ayendy Bonifacio’s Bless Me, Papi. Domingo is offered solace in his

Fontaines D.C. have shared a cryptic new teaser that appears to reveal the title of their fifth album as ‘Dopamine Chamber’. The Dublin band have been giving fans tantalising glimpses into their new record in recent weeks and now they have given the strongest hint yet that the follow-up to their 2024 album ‘Romance‘ will be out before the end of the
Life on Earth, beginning with simple microorganisms that evolved and diversified into the incredible breadth of species living today, has always been turbulent. Mass extinction events happen seemingly without warning, wiping out countless species and allowing others to take their place. But it’s not just disasters like supervolcanos and asteroid impacts that cause mass extinction.
Capcom’s samurai action series, Onimusha, has been around for more than two decades… kinda. The first game, Onimusha: Warlords, arrived in 2001, and within the next five years, three more mainline games were released. The last one launched in 2006, and it’s been 20 years since without a sequel. Onimusha: Way of the Sword is set to change
Plenty of fans would still argue that A Link to the Past is the best Zelda game of all time, but the developers at Nintendo weren’t even able to squeeze all of their ideas into the SNES classic. In fact, Shigeru Miyamoto specifically requested that one radical idea be left on the cutting room floor,
Most people visiting the set of a new Star Wars movie probably show up in a production van, flash a badge and try very hard not to touch anything expensive. Tom Cruise, naturally, had another idea. When the Mission: Impossible star decided he wanted to visit Shawn Levy’s Star Wars: Starfighter set, his first logistical
The marketing for American Horror Story: 13 has spent months pulling familiar faces out of the vault. Now the first official teaser makes the plan impossible to miss. By the time Vogue published a wave of first-look images on August 12, the thirteenth season had stopped pretending to be subtle. What the teaser actually reveals
In the lead-up to Temple Songs, Laura Veirs shared a video, for the jazzy folk earworm “Pulse,” in which she was cream-pied in the face, got showered in a hail of silly string, and—after a good and proper warm-up—deadlifted 110 pounds. Those are just a few of many herculean feats that went into the Found
WASHINGTON — NASA plans to award three more lunar missions this year through a commercial services program, including an orbiter that would replace the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. In earnings calls this week, executives with Firefly Aerospace and Intuitive Machines, the two companies that have landed spacecraft on the moon through NASA’s Commercial Lunar Payload Services,
North America vs Europe vs Japan Images: Nintendo / Launchbox That’s right, we’re combining things into one this week, because the only real change is the colour — we don’t want you scrolling all the way down the page only to discover… it’s the same again, but orange this time! All three designs are a
Now that Season 3 of House of the Dragon has concluded, Game of Thrones fans have at least another year to debate whether the show’s diversions from George R.R. Martin’s Fire & Blood have paid off or are a complete disaster. The show has been quite polarizing among longtime A Song of Ice and Fire
Well, if there was any question whether Inde Navarrette was about to become one of Hollywood’s biggest new stars, I think we can put that to rest. After an absolutely insane breakout year thanks to Curry Barker’s Obsession, Navarrette has officially joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Rogue in Marvel Studios’ upcoming X-Men. The news
Earth, Wind & Fire drummer John Paris has been placed in an induced coma following a “critical medical emergency” earlier this month. The 58-year-old was rushed to hospital on August 6, shortly before the group were due to perform with Lionel Richie at the Chase Center in San Francisco. The show was postponed just minutes before it was scheduled
When you think about it, it seems remarkable that humanity is still here. Over the last few hundred thousand years, the world has changed a lot, sometimes in ways that might seem difficult for evolution to keep pace with. Yet our species is remarkably resilient, repeatedly finding ways to survive changing conditions – through culture,
Disney has said that the long-running Kingdom Hearts franchise is now a $1 billion franchise spread across all the games. Disney’s executive vice president of global games, Sean Shoptaw, said that the series is now one of “nine games that have grossed over $1 billion at retail” and emphasised the importance of “telling truly original
At D23, Marvel boss Kevin Feige has explained why Spider-Man: Brand New Day was the right project for Sadie Sink’s Jean Grey to make her MCU debut. Sink’s role was shrouded in secrecy up until release, when it was finally revealed that her mystery role was indeed the X-Men character. “It all came out of
Disney has set a September 2 global streaming date for Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu on Disney+. That reps a long 103-day window between theatrical and streaming for the Jon Favreau-directed movie. The movie led the Memorial Day box office with a $167 million global start but wound up being the lowest-grossing live-action Star
Horror spent this week refusing to let anything stay dead. American Horror Story emptied its entire vault of villains onto one soundstage, Lionsgate went digging for a leprechaun it had buried years ago, and a girlfriend from a micro-budget slasher clawed her way out of the movie and into a theme park. Somebody is even

Sheryl Crow is readying a new album, Pick You Up, led by a protest song of sorts featuring Jesse Welles. Listen to “Freedom Bus” below.

Out in deep, dark depths of space, electronics and fuel can still get hot – very hot. As plans are made for longer missions and more advanced tech systems, one of the key areas scientists want to understand better is what happens to ultra-cold, cryogenic liquids when they boil. These liquids are used as rocket
The tabletop world has seen no recent shortage of impressively large and robust board, miniature, and card games that carry a high price tag, but also deliver many hours of premium gameplay and storytelling. It’s somewhat less common to find games of that caliber that are also relatively easy to learn and play, even for
In Tangled, Mother Gothel sings a whole song about how “Mother Knows Best.” However, in the case of the live-action Tangled, I think we should be saying “[Fans] Know Best.” That’s because they totally manifested the role of Mother Gothel for Kathryn Hahn. Now, the Agatha All Along actress is addressing those folks who fancast
