Why Moviegoing Still Matters in the Age of Streaming

'Peacemaker' Season 2 Review: The 11th Street Kids Unite
James Gunn‘s latest ragtag group of misfits undergo a wild ride throughout these eight episodes. But does the second half of the season live up to the hype?
In my last article for Trill Mag, I discussed the first half of ‘Peacemaker’ season two. I gave the first four episodes a solid 4/5 score, emphasizing that they were “consciously designed as buildup for a second half payoff”.
The first half of ‘Peacemaker’s sophomore season was much more of a personal look at Chris Smith than season o...

Is Superhero Fatigue Real or Are We Just Suffering From Bad Movie-itis?
A lot of talk has swirled around online about the phenomenon known as superhero fatigue. Many critics have stated the current output of superhero media will soon leave general audiences tired of the genre.
For several years now, the term “superhero fatigue” has flown around in the conversations of both film enthusiasts and media entrepreneurs. I remember seeing journalists from reputable outlets saying audience burnout was imminent since circa 2015. So, for a decade, naysayers have counted do...

‘Superman’ stars David Corenswet as the titular hero, Rachel Brosnahan as intrepid reporter Lois Lane, and Nicholas Hoult as obsessive billionaire entrepreneur Lex Luthor.
