Since Stranger Things: Tales From 85 was first announced back in 2023, no one knew what would come first: the fifth season or the cartoon. It turned out both took […] Read original article here: https://popgeeks.com/teaser-for-stranger-things-tales-from-85-creeps-out/ -

Crunchyroll announced today they have acquired the North American theatrical rights to the fantasy adventure anime film Whoever Steals This Book. This story is about Mifuyu Mikura, teenage citizen of Yomunaga, a town famous for books. Everyone comes there to get books, and Mikura is at the...

If you don’t know what Faces of Death is — and hey, despite how old I am, I didn’t even know until recently — it’s a time capsule of the early video rental market, the kind of thing that could only happen in a young industry dominated by mom and pop VHS shops that could be stocking anything in...

We got our first peek at Supergirl at the tail end of the Superman movie released last summer. As a contrast to Superman, a total Boy Scout, Supergirl was depicted as a blonde mess, an impression that was expanded with the first teaser for her own movie last December, where she was depicted as...

In 1997, auteur Todd Sheets weaved together an apocalyptic tale of low-budget indie horror he called Violent New Breed. The 90s may be long gone, but the Breed is back — this time on Blu-Ray. It’s a high-def format, but there’s only so much clarity that can be brought to something like this...

The easy access of streaming is nice, but at the end of the day, it’ll always feel more precarious than physical media. The former is dependent on your Internet connection and a fee you must pay each month. Also, streaming shows can and do disappear from services without a trace. Physical...

There’s a rumor going round that, should Netflix acquire Warner Bros, they would divest of MAD Magazine. Why, I don’t know…and it is just a rumor, so it hopefully isn’t true. If such an event does happen, then at least they made the most of their corporate synergy while they still had it...

Dazzler Media is introducing the animated movie Miss Moxy, which opened in theaters across England and Ireland last weekend. For centuries, people have been fascinated by stories of pets who get left behind when their owners move…and somehow, against all odds, track them down across hundreds of...

Compared to last month, what Crunchyroll is introducing to the physical media market is a much smaller amount of titles — but naturally, all the big guns are saved for the holiday season. January isn’t a month typically reserved for big releases (except the late ones). But still, there ARE...

Ever since the Stranger Things finale went live on New Years, there have been a lot of…theories floating around regarding why it turned out the way it did. A lot of people were displeased with it (this fan included), but it’s led to the kind of conspiracy weirdness that would come out of Murray...

So the inevitable day has arrived. Netflix is now without the flagship series that turned it into the cultural force it is today. The reality is that a success on the level of Stranger Things is incredibly rare and impossible to engineer. In the ten years they’ve had to replicate its success...

The current season of the Tomb Raider cartoon on Netflix is its last, but Lara Croft’s small screen career hasn’t ended yet. She’ll be leaping to live-action next with a series on Amazon Prime, set to begin shooting soon. As of today, we know who’s playing who. It was revealed months ago Sophie...

Do any of you readers happen to be parents, specifically of children who asked for KPop Demon Hunters toys this holiday season? Sure hope not….because there WEREN’T ANY! Before the movie launched in late June, there were no plans whatsoever to produce merch out of it, and the lead time from...

We didn’t know if Netflix would be releasing one more trailer for Stranger Things, as there’s just one episode to go and they might not have wanted much of it spoiled. But it looks like we get one — and I get one more opportunity to write about one of my all-time favorite shows. I’m planning a...

Last week around this time, Marvel Studios released the first teaser trailer for Avengers Doomsday, a short little blip that only served to confirm the presence of Steve Rogers, formerly Captain America (though who knows what he’ll be in the film, or if he’ll swipe Anthony Mackie’s outfit back)...
