REVIEW: The Flash Season 9, Episode 5 “The Mask of the Red Death Part 2”
“The Mask of the Red Death Part 2” feels more like a series finale than a season finale. It’s got all the hallmarks of a capper – minus a worthy villain – with Barry’s ideology at the forefront. And it’s a good episode, even great in parts, but some of the same problems that have &hell...
Read MoreJon Bernthal Will Return as The Punisher on Daredevil: Born Again
Disney+ is in for some punishment. (Actually, we’re probably the ones about to be punished because it’s Disney+ Marvel.) The Hollywood Reporter has heard from sources that Jon Bernthal will return as the Punisher on Daredevil: Born Again, the revival of the excellent Netflix show starring Charli...

“Rogues of War” should be a lot better than it is. The Rogues used to be cool; they were an outlaw band of thieves led by Captain Cold, and their episodes were fun. Now, they’re a bunch of losers who should’ve been one-off villains (and not even that, in some cases), spouting corny lines and...
