The Boys Is Getting An Animated Anthology Spin-Off Called Diabolical One might say that “The Boys” are back andthey’re looking for trouble. Amazon’s ultra violent and no-holds-barred series has risen to immense popularity on the major streaming service, taking a hilariously satirical approach to superhero media and presenting many of its all-powerful beings as the unhinged, sociopathic, and deeply disturbed individuals they likely would be in a world that closely resembled our own....

Theaters are still the way to go for actual movie-watching, but seeing a film on DVD or Blu-ray often has one distinct advantage.

Theron’s next action movie,Atomic Blonde, doesn’t look like it’s letting any of her talents go unused. Based onearly reviews, Agent Lorraine Broughton might be another killer character from Theron, who’s already given us one of the great action heroes of the century inMad Max: Fury Road....
