It may be easy to forget, but Matt Groening’s Disenchantment still exists as one of Netflix’s big adult animated series. While not as big a hit as The Simpsons or Futurama, it seems to have found its own niche over the years and managed to survive Netflix’s multiple cancellation sprees to compete its 40-episode order. And like those two shows (and other hit Netflix series like Stranger Things and Voltron: Legendary Defender), it sounds like it’s starting to grow beyond TV and into the realm of comics.Misha Collins on What…

The Velvet Cellar, which aims to be an approachable wine and cocktail lounge, will open at 1500 Wynkoop St., near Union Station in LoDo. The 4,000-square-foot space was formerly home to Chow Morso Osteria, which closed in November 2020 after two years, and the Squeaky Bean for five years before that. “It’s a nice wine bar with spirits and beer, but it’s also going to have a great, from-scratch menu,” executive chef Todd Bobrovicz said…

But in the right hands, liberica can be a revelation. In 2016 Davis visited some coffee farmers in Uganda and tried a brew of their local beans. The taste surprised him. It was sweet, smooth, and had notes of jackfruit. He started bringing beans back to the UK and sharing them with coffee importers. They were impressed too, and saw the potential for a high-yielding, tasty bean that could grow across a relatively wide range of locations. “We are talking about people who are doing this for profit, not for passion. If it’s…

Sometimes spontaneous emotion is actually built-up bit by bit, building to a moment that couldn’t be created otherwise. Such was the case in one of the most beloved and treasured scenes for the annual holiday get-together movie, Love Actually. Two iconic British stars, the cherished late actor Alan Rickman and Rowan Atkinson (widely known for his infamous character Mr. Bean), take part in a tet-a-tet that quietly pushed Rickman into further depths of frustration and nearly madness thanks to some plotting by director…

It usually doesn’t take too long for an actor in Hollywood to find themselves fit into a mold. Whether it’s Jason Statham making action movies or Mads Mikkelsen playing villains, it’s not uncommon to see actors go through similar experiences on screen with very different characters. Sean Bean has been known as the actor who dies on screen, but apparently that’s been the case with Queen Latifah as well, and she’s done with that.Sean Bean, the actor who dies on screen a lot, has said in the past that he’s started turning…
