Maul: Shadow Lord is the most beautiful Star Wars since Andor (and by far the meanest)

A hand-painted art direction, an Inquisitor on steroids, a Vader who walks through the wall like a slasher villain. We watched season 1 of Maul: Shadow Lord and we are not over it.

Spider-Noir: Nicolas Cage, the Great Depression, and the best Marvel series since Daredevil

The Mandalorian & Grogu: a good Disney+ episode, in IMAX

Jon Favreau delivers clean visuals, an endearing Rotta the Hutt, and two hours of episodic adventures without consequences. Mandalore is ignored, two villains are wasted, galactic politics don't hold. Mando's return to cinema deserved better.

Warcraft the film we didn't expect… and never really got back

When it came out, Warcraft divided critics. At InsertCoins, our verdict is simple: we loved it. And it broke our hearts that there was never a sequel.
