With Venom: Let There Be Carnage and Morbius leading to mixed results, many are interested to see how Sony continues with its Spider-Man spin-off universe. One of these ventures is the upcoming Madame Web, bringing together an all-star cast headed by Dakota Johnson.The film suffered a slight delay to October 6, 2023, which should give the filmmakers more time to iron out all the kinks.With filming now officially making headway, fans have gotten the smallest of glimpses at what this peculiar Sony picture has in store....

It made it into this infographic on which composting method is best for you, but it’s fair to say that grub composting—or the practice of disposing of organic waste by feeding it to black soldier fly larvae—is still relatively obscure. Yet, as I noted in my post on a commercially available grub composter, this method gets rid of veggie scraps and even raw and cooked meats at an astoundingly fast rate....

Lots of dogs eat vegetables. Give most dogs a carrot or a green bean, and they’ll be glad to have it. But is it OK to skip meat completely and feed your canine pal a vegetarian diet? People make decisions about their diets based on various factors ranging from health benefits to cultural, environmental and religious beliefs. Some people pass on those preferences on their pets’ diets. The experts (and by experts, we mean veterinarians) are divided about whether that’s a good idea....

Let’s be serious, this is a product designed for convenience, and taking these apart is anything but. Keurig, the pod people we love to hate on TreeHugger, has changed the plastic that their pods are made of to polypropylene, which in some municipalities (like Toronto, Canada) is accepted for recycling as Number 5 plastic. So of course, now they are advertising on their packaging that their pods are recyclable. There is only one small problem; this is a product that is sold on the basis of convenience....

With Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness right around the corner, fans have been treated to plenty of trailers and TV spots, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Just a month out from its global release, moviegoers still have no idea what the film is about, who’s going to show up, or even what Multiversal threat is in front of Doctor Strange. Since Elizabeth Olsen’s Scarlet Witch took herself down a dark path in WandaVision, the former Avenger has been heavily hinted to have an antagonistic presence in the film....

Marvel Studios will be releasing its next film in just under a week: Eternals. The project looks to be on an epic scale, telling the story of the Eternals, god-like beings that have now been on Earth for 7,000 years after being sent there by the Celestials—seemingly the MCU’s answer to Gods. While the movie started with positive reactions, more reviews have come in, which shifted its general reception. At one point, it was the first Marvel Studios film to hit Rotten on Rotten Tomatoes....

It looks like Marvel Studios is aiming to introduce its knock-off evil Justice League for the first time in live-action.The parody team, the Squadron Supreme, has existed in several variations since their first debut in The Avengers #85 back in 1971. Dating all the way back to their inception, the core members of the team were always meant to blatantly parallel the Justice League in DC Comics.The group was Marvel’s way of unofficially using its competitor’s core heroes in their stories—though, generally speaking, the Squadron Supreme skews far more towards villainy than heroism....

Marvel Studios’ recent Disney+ push has proven rather divisive among fans. From WandaVision to Moon Knight, every series has had plenty of highs and lows along the way. Despite the overall inconsistency in quality, all six streaming projects have certainly had their fair share of fans - leading to each attracting consistently big numbers on Disney+. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness just recently broke new ground for the MCU as it turned WandaVision into the first Disney+ series to directly influence a big-screen event....

Most people like to escape the summer heat with a trip to the beach or a swim in the local pool, but here’s an alternative for those of you with more eclectic travel tastes: Coudersport Ice Mine. The mine was a tucked-away roadside attraction in Pennsylvania’s Appalachian Mountains for many years until it was abruptly closed down a quarter of a century ago. But now, after a 25-year hiatus, this hidden summer getaway is once again open to the public, reports Living on Earth....

Years ago I called the kitchen exhaust the most screwed up, badly designed, inappropriately used appliance in your home. Since then I have written a number of posts and not much has changed. People are still debating the merits of recirculating vs exterior exhaust; I tend to agree with John Straube, who says that a recirculating exhaust hood makes as much sense as a recirculating toilet. The issue becomes particularly important in super-insulated and sealed buildings like those built to the Passivhaus standard....

One of the most popular shows in the world is James Gunn’s Peacemaker. Yes, one of the biggest A-holes in The Suicide Squad is now leading his own spinoff series; and John Cena is absolutely killing it. Clearly, the character has struck a chord and people worldwide are enjoying his crude antics. The show sees Cena’s titular character team up with an entirely new team, but with some returning faces for viewers....

Root and butt rot is one of the most common forms of tree disease affecting hardwoods. Many fungi are capable of causing root rots and some cause considerable decay of the butts of trees as well. Root rots are more common on older trees or trees which have sustained root or basal injury. Root rots thrive on poor soil conditions. Trees with extensive root rot are less able to tolerate extreme weather conditions like extended droughts, long periods of heavy rain, or unusually high temperatures....

A show centered on Rogue One’s Cassian Andor had long been talked about by Lucasfilm, but Disney’s Investor Day last year confirmed that Star Wars: Andor was well into production. With 12 episodes following Cassian in the early days of the Rebellion, Andor is set to be an ambitious project featuring “200 named cast members” and “over 6,000 crowd people” as revealed by the show’s sizzle reel. Rogue One star Diego Luna even admitted that the show would be a challenge to pull off, but stated that he felt “blessed to have the chance to revisit this role....

John Boyega has made it no secret that his experience working on the sequel trilogy with Star Wars wasn’t a great one, as he played the Stormtrooper-turned-Resistance fighter Finn. Although he keeps up with everything that Lucasfilm delivered post-The Rise of Skywalker, most recently sharing his thoughts on Disney+’s Obi-Wan Kenobi, he regularly looks back on his time with Lucasfilm without the fondest of memories.One of his biggest points of contention is the lack of meaningful representation across the trilogy, even comparing it to recent Marvel projects that have done a much better job on that front on Disney+ and in theaters....

With the Skywalker Saga’s series of films now over, the future of the Star Wars universe is up in the air. Disney head Bob Iger has said that he sees the future of the Star Wars universe moving to their streaming service Disney+. There’s already been one season of the smash hit series The Mandalorian to debut on the platform, with a second to be released later this year. A final season of the fan favorite The Clone Wars series is currently airing on Disney+, and in development are spin-off TV shows for Obi-Wan Kenobi and Rogue One’s Cassian Andor....

Elizabeth Olsen has become one of the MCU’s biggest names over the last few years, most recently playing the most terrifying version of her character yet in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. While the Scarlet Witch made waves as this sequel’s primary antagonist, Olsen’s off-camera personality has shined through chats with her and her co-stars since Phase 4 started. Following Doctor Strange 2’s release, Olsen made headlines when she shared in a lie detector test that she’d never met John Krasinski, who broke the internet with his MCU debut as Mr....

As students return home for the summer and the spring migration of renters gets underway, it’s time look at the discarded IKEA furniture they’ll leave behind in alleys and dumpers in a knew light and upcycle it into something useful in the garden. Here are some creative garden hacks that I culled from-appropriately enough- IKEA Hackers to give you some ideas of what’s possible. 1. Cold Frame A cold frame is a good thing to have in the garden if you live in cool climate....

Avatar: The Way of the Water is confirmed to feature the return of humans in Pandora, and the reason for their surprising comeback has finally been revealed. Marketing for Avatar 2 has been ramping up in the past weeks as it approaches its December release date. However, the exact plot details are still being kept under wraps. Despite that, there have been many teases of what to expect, particularly in its latest trailer....

Pennyworth has been making headlines in the past weeks due to its new Batman-centric title. Initially, the show’s first two seasons were simply titled after Alfred’s surname, but it ultimately changed to Pennyworth: The Origin of Batman’s Butler when it moved to HBO Max from Epix. Despite that, some of the attention has been directed toward its highly-anticipated third season, especially after a game-changing Season 2 finale where it revealed that Martha Kane delivered a baby girl....
