Over at “House Mouse”, the Disney+ streaming service entered the streaming wars last month – and they did it on the backs of their Marvel and Star Wars franchises.

Its enticing mix of spaghetti western, epic samurai, and space wizard movies has an undeniable appeal. The series is the epitome of visual storytelling and almost eschews dialogue. The tight word economy seems to reflect the tough times we find in […]
Now that HBO‘s wonderfully authorized pseudo-sequel to [REDACTED] and Dave Gibbons‘ celebrated comic book series Watchmen has been unveiled to the world – the world likes what it sees from Damon Lindelof‘s “remix”.

Disney+ is a remarkable repository of mostly amazing, occasionally really strange content. It was a little shocking to consider, in the days preceding the launch, the sheer volume of what they had planned for inclusion. Witness, for instance, the 3-hour YouTube video released which has a short clip of the movies, TV shows, and shorts […]
