We’re just two days away from The Last of Us’ second season finale. Season two is only seven episodes long, making it a good bit shorter than the first season, which recounted the entire story of the first game across nine episodes. HBO’s live-action series is splitting The Last of Us Part II’s...

21.5.2025
The Last of Us season two’s penultimate episode was almost entirely flashbacks of Joel and Ellie’s lives together in Jackson.

19.5.2025
One of the best scenes in The Last of Us’ second season came in this week’s sixth episode, with Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie (Bella Ramsey) taking a trip to an abandoned museum. It’s a beautiful moment that is ripped right out of the Last of Us Part II video game, and the show does it justice....

Ellie finally got a little bit of revenge this week. How are we feeling? Not as cathartic as you thought it was gonna be, huh? HBO’s take on The Last of Us is finally back in the trenches after a few weeks of levity, or at the very least with its grisly revenge plot out of sight and mostly out...
Is The Last Of Us Skipping One Of The Game’s Most Tragic Deaths?
5.5.2025
When it comes to tragedy, The Last of Us is typically unrelenting. Fans of the show are still reeling from the devastating events of this season’s second episode, and even though there have been a few moments of joy since then, I’m sorry to tell new fans that it’s going to get much, much worse....
The Last Of Us Season Two, Episode Four Recap: U-Haul Lesbian Road Trip
5.5.2025
Well, y’all, this week I decided to give The Last of Us showrunner Craig Mazin a break. I’ve been pretty harsh toward the show’s second season for fundamentally misunderstanding so many of the bold creative decisions of the game on which it’s based. This week’s episode, however, was the best—or...

If You're Still Shook From The Last Of Us, Here's The Cast Being Happy And Hugging
21.4.2025
Last night’s episode of The Last of Us was pretty brutal, especially if you didn’t already know what was coming from playing the games. If you, like me, would like a palate cleanser for all this anguish and violence, perhaps I can interest you in lead actors Pedro Pascal, Kaitlyn Dever, and Bella...

New Fantastic Four: First Steps Trailer Reveals The Silver Surfer
17.4.2025
Fantastic Four: First Steps is still a few months away, but I’m surprised that the second trailer is still keeping so much so close to its chest.

15.4.2025
We’re only one episode into The Last of Us’ second season, and it’s already taken some creative liberties with the source material.

HBO's The Last Of Us Got One Of The Game's Best Scenes Early And Nailed It
14.4.2025
Yesterday, the second season of HBO’s The Last of Us premiered, and I had my gripes with this first episode. HBO’s approach to The Last of Us Part II’s story has stripped away a lot of the mystery and tension present in the game, but I do want to give some props to the team behind the show...

The Last Of Us, Season 2: The Kotaku Review
7.4.2025
In the years since The Last of Us Part II launched in 2020, I’ve noticed a fascinating phenomenon when people talk about Naughty Dog’s divisive sequel. Some people talk about Ellie’s revenge story in ways that seem incongruous with the game I experienced. Where I would call The Last of Us Part II...
