Amazon Prime Video has completely smashed it out of the park with Spider Noir, and we are giving this absolute triumph a flawless 10 out of 10! Nicolas Cage is phenomenal as Ben Reilly, bringing his signature legendary energy to a gritty, hard boiled 1930s detective world that feels entirely fresh for the superhero genre. The stellar supporting cast featuring Lamorne Morris and Brendan Gleeson abs...

John Krasinski is back as everyone's favorite CIA analyst, but Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan Ghost War completely misses the mark.

The 1940s Blitz looks incredible, director Tom Harper has created a stunning, hell-on-earth version of the industrial landscape that absolutely demands to be seen.

We’re talking pseudoscience, 1950s special effects, and why it took us multiple sittings to finish this one.
