Finally some good news in 2026. Randy Newman coming back is huge. His songs always hit right in the feelings, especially when the toys are saying goodbye or figuring stuff out. With Tom Hanks and Tim Allen still there too, this feels like real Toy Story again. The story about Bonnie’s tablet...

I kept thinking: what if the anime adaptation uses this chance to diverge from the manga and give us a different ending? Many on Reddit are saying that’s the only way for Season 3 to work. >!“I hope the studio puts in some anime original content going forward. If they choose that route, I’m all...

This year has seen a surge of spectacles based on King's novels, and I am confident that this one will be no different. Every subsequent adaptation feels like filmmakers have finally figured out how to mix his social critique with compelling entertainment value. Edgar Wright appears to be the...

Wtf is this concept? I honestly had to read it twice just to be sure I understood. Disney villains reimagined as attractive anime boys in a magical school? It sounds so random that my first reaction is confusion. I grew up seeing these characters as terrifying, larger-than-life adults, and now...

The introduction of Dok-go as interim CEO was smart. It grounded the story and reminded viewers that the founders of MK are still important, even if they are old or retired. But I feel like his arrival was too neat. In real life, a sudden death in a criminal empire would cause chaos, not a...

I have been waiting to see what direction they take with Yoshiki’s relationship with Hikaru in the last episode. The buildup has been careful, and if they rush the ending it could undo some of the strength. Even if the finale disappoints, I will still respect how the series gave a different kind...

I love this anime. I think it’s one of the best new shows this year. I’m glad more people can watch it now. The mystery about Hikaru is really interesting. Every episode gives just a little more. It’s not boring at all. I watch it on Netflix every week. I also want to say the music is good too...

Pickleball final? Seriously? That's the kind of detail that makes a comedy movie even funnier. Imagining Jamie Lee Curtis or Lindsay Lohan trying to play pickleball in someone else's body is just hilarious. The quote about the heels and homework and PTA meeting is also very relatable, even...

Honestly, this is a refreshing move from DC. I love that they're not just doing another Batman reboot but exploring Gotham through its villains. Clayface has always been one of the more emotional characters for me. His story is more tragic than evil. If this film really leans into that while...

Narnia is sacred to me, and Aslan has always been a wise, fatherly protector. Changing his voice to a female one disrupts the feeling I grew up with. I have nothing against Meryl Streep, but I don’t see the point of altering a character who was already perfect. Nostalgia isn’t just about...

I didn’t know much about Anthony Robles before this, but after reading this, I’m intrigued. His life sounds like a mix of grit, determination, and heart. Jharrel Jerome’s involvement makes me confident the movie will have some emotional weight. I’m curious about the role Jennifer Lopez will...

Ke Huy Quan’s story is one of the most inspiring in Hollywood right now. I mean, going from almost giving up on acting to winning an Oscar is just incredible. He’s a great example of what perseverance looks like, especially for actors who come from underrepresented communities. His role in...

Everyone freaking out about Lara Croft in Dead by Daylight? Come on, people, lighten up! Ash Williams is already running around the place with his boomstick MIA, and Ada Wong, basically Capcom's own Batman, is dodging chainsaw-wielding maniacs with a smirk. Lara Croft, a seasoned adventurer...

Heck Yeah! A lost Game Boy Advance game coming out in 2024? That's awesome! I remember hearing rumors about Kien back in the day. So glad they finally unearthed it. "Pre-souls" difficulty, huh? Sounds like my cup of tea. Those challenging sidescrollers are the ones that keep you coming...

Ugh, the Helldivers II debacle threw a real wrench into my 100% completion plans. With the game delisted in so many countries, those regional trophies are basically out of reach now. That's hundreds of hours of gameplay down the drain for some players, all because of a bad decision. I...
