In just about every way, the third and final season of “Star Trek: Picard” is both about looking back and moving forward. In addition to reuniting the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise from “The Next Generation” for the first time since 2002’s “Star Trek: Nemesis,” it also features a new starship on which most of the action takes place: the U.S.S. Titan, first seen in animated form on “Star Trek: Lower Decks” and now refit as a Neo-Constitution Class Starship.
For showrunner, executive producer and self-professed “Star Trek” fan Terry Matalas, the inspiration for a retro-looking starship came while he was shopping for a car. “I missed a proper saucer section on the top part of a starship, and I couldn’t help but notice how many cars have gone retro these days. And I remember, as I was driving around, I thought, ‘What if Starfleet did that?...

Initially slated for a June 9th debut, the new Collector's Edition Blu-ray is now coming out on July 28th, and we've been provided with the full list of special features, including a new audio commentary with director Steve Beck:
Press Release: This summer, thrills and chills abound with the arrival of the horror thriller Thirteen Ghosts Collector’s Edition Blu-ray on July 28, 2020 from Scream Factory™. Awesome ectoplasmic specters populate Thirteen Ghosts, an effects-rampant remake of the 1960 William Castle haunted-house film directed by Steve Beck (Ghost Ship) and from producers Gilbert Adler (House on Haunted Hill), Joel Silver and Robert Zemeckis.

Between them, Wakanda and Vormir are undoubtedly two of the most important locations for the story of Avengers: Infinity War.
The first is, of course, home to the legendary Black Panther, protector of Wakanda and its fictional utopia. The other is a far-flung planet that soon became Red Skull’s home away from home, given the Phase One Marvel villain was whisked off into space soon after he lay hands on the Tesseract.
It’s a grim fate for the Marvel mega-villain, but his Infinity War cameo came as a welcome surprise for fans, who’d long speculated that the demonic Nazi would make a return. And it arguably arrived at just the right time, given Red Skull was able to inform Thanos and Gamora (and the viewers!) about the tragic red tape surrounding the Soul Stone and its near-limitless power.
The end result is arguably Infinity War‘s most heartbreaking scene,...
