"Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse" was truly a unique film. The 2018 film managed not only to be one of the best "Spider-Man" movies of all time, and one of the best movies of its year, but it was an animated movie that changed the game, bringing about a wave of movies unafraid to explore highly-stylized visuals rather than imitate Disney's hyper-realism.
The landscape is vastly different now. There was hype around the first "Spider-Verse" movie, for sure, but less so than with other "Spider-Man" theatrical films, what with it being about a recent, relatively lesser-known version of the title character. That's no longer the case with "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse," the first of two sequels to Miles Morales' highly-successful and Oscar-winning introduction to the big screen.
Far from resting on their laurels, the creatives behind the "Spider-Verse" films are aiming to push the envelope even further with "Across the Spider-Verse." So far,...

Peter B. Parker Has Become A Dad In Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse, And That Sounds About Right
The 2018 animated film "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse," directed by Bob Persichetti, Peter Ramsey, and Rodney Rothman, was slick and stylish in ways that few big-budget animated films are. Affecting a dazzling color palate and an exaggerated comic book panel aesthetic, "Into the Spider-Verse" took what could have been an ordinary superhero story and infused it with new life. The story follows awkward teenager Miles Morales (Shameik Moore) as he's bitten by a radioactive spider, giving him superpowers. Naturally, he ends up on an adventure with multiple Spider-folks from different dimensions, and a large portion of "Spider-Verse" is devoted to Miles being mentored by a middle-aged, burned-out Peter B. Parker (Jake Johnson).
"Into the Spider-Verse" won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature, swept the Annies, and garnered endless accolades besides. It remains one of the better superhero films of the last 20 years.

"On Her Majesty's Secret Service" is a movie that used to be a punchline, and the name of its star, George Lazenby, a joke. Back in the '80s, there were only two "real" choices for best Bond, and they were Roger Moore or Sean Connery. Bringing in Lazenby was like suggesting that Captain Decker could be up to Kirk or Picard standards on "Star Trek." Yet, over the years, and as more Bond films have been released, suddenly it's gaining respect again. By Rotten Tomatoes rankings, it's even a top 10 film!
Part of that reassessment is that Bond no longer feels like a choice between macho Sean Connery and knowingly corny Roger Moore. We've Seen Pierce Brosnan, Timothy Dalton, and Daniel Craig take a crack, and Lazenby's mix of Connery machismo with a bit of Moore-like humor (and a hint of tragedy) now falls better on a spectrum than into a binary.

Much ado has been made about the various bodily fluids that flow freely in Prime Video’s raunchy superhero takedown series “The Boys.” In Season 3, there’s the usual stream of crimson blood (and unraveling intestines), as well as the addition of a vomit so green it rivals Nickelodeon’s iconic slime.
In the third season’s second episode, titled “The Only Man in the Sky,” the Boys ringleader Billy Butcher (Karl Urban) decides to take V24, a short-term strain of the Compound V that births Supes, in order to “level the playing field” in the fight against them and Vought, the conglomerate that props them up. Except, the substance isn’t stable, leading to a scene in Episode 3 where he unwittingly projectile-vomits onto his protégé-of-sorts Hughie (Jack Quaid).
“Oh, man, I think it bonded us closer together, right?” Quaid said, laughing, when asked what it was like filming the scene.
