Twenty years ago, the summer box office sizzled like it usually does, with a litany of smash hit films or cult favorites that are still remembered fondly to this day.

Let’s take a trip down memory lane to when we eagerly awaited a massive alien invasion, terrifying weather, classic ’90s actioners, our favorite comedians, and other treasures as we take a look at All The Summer Blockbusters We Were Watching Twenty Years Ago....

We also expect Apple to continue the Apple Silicon transition, perhaps introducing a brand new ‘Mac Studio’ model and a new Apple-branded external display at the same time.

Apple currently sells four different models of AirPods, ranging from the second-generation AirPods to the advanced AirPods Max. And while AirPods have become quite popular earphones, they’re not exactly cheap. But according to analyst Jeff Pu of Haitong Intl Tech Research, the company is now working on new “AirPods Lite” to compete with cheaper wireless earbuds.

We are now just days away from The CW’s highly anticipated DC TV crossover, which will unite heroes from Supergirl, The Flash, Arrow, and Legends of Tomorrow against the alien race known as the Dominators. The four-part event titled ‘Invasion!’ is an unprecedented endeavor unlike any crossover the Arrowverse has attempted thus far.

Avengers: Endgame directors Anthony and Joe Russo will attend San Diego Comic-Con 2019 and hold their very own panel. The Russo brothers got their start with the Marvel Cinematic Universe with 2014’s Captain America: The Winter Soldier and have since become some of the biggest directors in all of Hollywood. It helps that all four of their MCU outings are incredibly well-received and successful at the box office. A clear example of this is Avengers: Endgame, a movie that boasts excellent reviews for its ability to tie up the first eleven years of the MCU, and one that fans responded to as it is the second highest-grossing movie of all-time as of now....

After nearly three years of waiting, Batman V Superman is almost here. Once thought to be a pipe dream for DC comic book fans, the recent trend toward shared-universe moviemaking has opened the door to a steady stream of interconnected adventures in the worlds of Marvel, X-Men, DC, and even Star Wars. The result? “The greatest gladiator match in the history of the world: Son of Krypton versus Bat of Gotham....

Comic fans and movie critics alike went absolutely mad over Batman v Superman, but if you think that’s becoming a more and more common phenomenon… the movie’s cinematographer agrees. At the time Zack Snyder’s stylish sequel divided fans, with most critics citing it as the lowest point yet for the heroes, and the genre. But since then, tensions and reviews have only gotten more heated. More recently, fans made The Last Jedi the Batman v Superman of Star Wars, proving beloved franchises are just as likely to turn critics against them as the fans, or earn praise just as easily....

Fans of TV creator Adam Reed’s uproariously immature, adult-oriented animated series Archer are likely well acquainted by now with the program’s eponymous secret agent Sterling Archer, as voiced by H. Jon Benjamin (Bob’s Burgers), whose antics from episode-to-episode primarily revolve around various satirical reincarnations of popular tropes of the spy-thriller film genre. The show has made quite the name for itself since premiering on FX in 2010, and has since become a go-to staple within the marketplace of cartoon series developed for grownups....

[This is a review of Arrow season 4, episode 8. There will be SPOILERS.] - Throughout the second half of this year’s Arrow crossover with The Flash, both heroes acknowledge how quickly their world is changing and how it often feels as though the more they know, the less they understand.
