While the ratings for Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. haven’t always reflected it, the show has grown from an Avengers-offshoot to one of superhero TV’s best series. Not only has it expanded the role of the S.H.I.E.L.D. organization and continued the adventures of Phil Coulson; it’s also introduced a number of comic book properties that Marvel would otherwise have to leave on the shelf, due to its busy movie production schedule. In the show’s three and a half seasons, they’ve given us the debut of Robbie Reyes as the Ghost Rider, premiered and fleshed out the Kree in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and brought Secret Warriors Quake and Slingshot to life....

According to Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. star Clark Gregg, the series found its stride when it began to distance itself from the Marvel Cinematic Universe movies. When Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. launched in 2013, the plan was for Marvel’s films and TV shows to be intimately interwoven. Those plans changed in 2015, however, when a corporate restructure split Marvel Studios apart from the wider Marvel Entertainment. Fans - and, indeed, the stars themselves - have frequently complained at the somewhat artificial division this creates....

Aladdin reportedly cost over $180 million to make and felt like a risk for a company notorious for playing it safe....

It was the viral sensation of 2014 so here are the lyrics to Adult Swim’s famous Too Many Cooks short. Too Many Cooks essentially came out of nowhere in late 2014 when it was first broadcast at 4 AM on Adult Swim. The short starts out as a spot-on parody of the opening credits of any number of 1980s or 1990s sitcom, like Roseanne. The short film soon spirals completely out of control, with the fake credits becoming parodies of cop shows or sci-fi dramas like Battlestar Galactica - then a creepy killer starts slaughtering all the actors in the spot....

Taylor Swift, who took a high profile stance against Apple Music’s initial decision not to pay artists during the free trial period, is now allowing her music on Spotify’s free tier. The two are not totally equivalent, as Spotify does pay artists something for listens on the free tier, but only a trivial amount, with the artist’s share amounting to approximately $0.001128 per play. It has been calculated that an artist would need more than a million streams to make the U....
