Every Mighty Morphin Power Ranger's Zord, Ranked By Power

Christian Bone — Tue, 01 Sep 2026 01:00:13 GMT

Without Zords, everyepisode of Mighty Morphin Power Rangerswould be forced to end 10 minutes early if its colorful heroes didn't have their incredible giant mechs to pilot against the latest monster-of-the-week. The Zords were always one of the most appealing parts of MMPR — and its merchandise — so it's no surprise that there are so many of them squeezed into its three-season run.

Why Daenerys Targaryen Was Recast in Game of Thrones

Zakaria Ali — Mon, 31 Aug 2026 13:00:12 GMT

It's difficult to imagine a Game of Thrones without Emilia Clarke as Daenerys Targaryen. Over eight seasons, Clarke transformed the exiled, white-haired princess from a frightened young woman into one of the most powerful and complicated characters in fantasy TV. Her performance is so synonymous with Dany that it's surprising to learn she wasn't actually the first actor to play the Westerosi character.

Is Ted Lasso Based on a True Story?

Dominik Bošnjak — Mon, 31 Aug 2026 02:00:22 GMT

Ted Lasso, at its core, is a scripted series not based on a true story, and Jason Sudeikis's title character is not a dramatization of any single real-life coach. However, the creators of the hit Apple TV series are on record as confirming they drew from numerous real people and elements of professional football, which helps explain why Ted Lasso's fictional story can sometimes feel remarkably authentic.

Marc Deschamps — Sun, 30 Aug 2026 22:00:12 GMT

The late Peter Cullen's career lasted more than 60 years, having brought iconic characters to life such as Eeyore, Super Mario, and the Predator. However, the role he was best known for is Optimus Prime, whom he began voicing in the 1984 Transformers animated series. It proved to be a definitive role for the actor and endeared him to fans around the globe. Cullen voiced Optimus in many iterations of the Transformers franchise, but there's one moment that managed to win over two different generations of fans.

Lanterns TV Show Continues a Weird DC Trend That Supergirl Started

Marc Deschamps — Sun, 30 Aug 2026 19:00:12 GMT

Lanterns is the latest TV show in James Gunn's rebooted DC Universe, and it continues an odd trend that first became apparent in this year's Supergirl. Like the 2026 film, Lanterns largely abandons the familiar costumes that made these characters popular in the first place. In the initial episodes, stars Kyle Chandler and Aaron Pierre are predominantly seen wearing plain clothes as they investigate a series of murders in a small town. Lanterns and Supergirl both seem to have their own reasons for making that decision, but it's an unusual choice, especially considering the sheer number of comic-inspired designs that appeared in last year's Superman movie.

There are plenty of incredible TV shows out there, but very few feel like they accomplished exactly what they set out to do. Some have extraordinary characters, others tell enormous stories, and a select handful completely change what television can look like. Calling a TV show "perfect" is obviously subjective, but there are certain series that make the argument surprisingly easy.

Roger Ebert Called This 23-Year-Old Epic Crime Movie "Breathtaking" & "Terrifying"

Zakaria Ali — Sat, 29 Aug 2026 18:00:12 GMT

Some movies become classics because of their influence, others because of their performances or filmmaking, and a select few manage to excel in almost every area at once. 2003's City of God falls into the latter category. Fernando Meirelles and Kátia Lund's Brazilian crime drama is one of the most acclaimed movies of the 2000s, combining an enormous story with a filmmaking style that never stops moving.

Every Hogwarts Secret Passage in the Harry Potter Books, Explained

Christian Bone — Sat, 29 Aug 2026 02:30:13 GMT

Hogwarts is famously the least safe school imaginable, as made staggeringly clear by the number of dangerous magical creatures and dark wizards that broke into the castle while Harry Potter was a student. Clearly, despite the famed protective spells that encircle the school's grounds, Hogwarts has a serious security problem. That probably isn't helped by the fact that there are numerous secret passageways in and out of the castle.
