Doctor Who Given May 10 Return Date
After sagging for a few years, the BBC’s most famous property, Doctor Who, was given a massive regeneration with a move to Disney+, a higher budget and four giant specials. It not only marked the return of Russell T,. Davies as showrunner but, somehow, the return of David Tennant as the Doctor. The goal of the specials seemed to be (1) to remind you why you liked Doctor Who in the first place and (2) to set the table for the new reboot that casts Ncuti Gatwa as Doctor #15. Yeah, I know no one really thinks of it as a “reboot” but BBC is drawing a line between the revival that was mainly seen on cable and the Disney+ version, referring to this coming season as Season 1. We thought the specials were a great return to form, that Gatwa makes for a great Time Lord and that Millie Gibson’s Ruby Sunday is already a very memorable Companion — much better than those whatsisnames that were following Jodie Whitaker
Madame Web Dumped Onto Digital Today
Sony has announced when their latest Spider-Man-adjacent theatrical picture, Madame Web, will be released to digital platforms — and it’s today. Normally the day the announcement is made is not the day the release actually happens, but this is Madame Web. You didn’t have to be a cynical paranormal paramedic in 2003 New York to predict this one. The lowest-performing, lowest-rated “superhero” movie in quite a while was chased out of theaters rather quickly and has now made its home debut in a month’s time. It made just $17.8 million in its opening weekend at the box office, and in comparison, its equally mocked cousin Morbius took in $39.1 million in the same amount of time. But if you really, truly want her, here she is. Madame Web is the alternate name for Cassandra Webb, the aforementioned New York paramedic from the 2000s who is cynical about a lot of things in life. She suddenly finds herself saddled with responsibility when a dormant power is awakened in her; the ability

There is nothing worse than having an angry person who feels that he or someone he loved has been wronged and they decide to set off a bomb to get everybody’s attention. If one bomb gets you focused, how about several bombs? In “Decibel”, a military officer receives a phone call and the person tells him to CHOOSE! There are two bombs placed in public places. EXAMPLE: There is a bomb at a public pool and one at a children’s playground. Choose the place where you don’t want the bomb to go off! What kind of choice is that? The bomber repeats the event but at different public locations like a crowded stadium where people are enjoying a game. The bomber tells the officer if he tries to get them to evacuate the stadium, he’ll set off the bomb! What
The Challenge Of Releasing A Shantae GBA Game 22 Years Late
We don’t know when the next Shantae game will be announced, but we do know one nobody’s seen before is coming out. There was a long wait between the release of the original Game Boy Color game and the first sequel, and that’s because no market existed yet for a small company to release an independent creation on a modern console or handheld. What would’ve been Shantae: Risky Revolution for the Game Boy Advance initially depended on a major publisher agreeing to eat the physical production costs in hopes of sharing the profit. But due to the low sales of the original Shantae, no one was biting, and the GBA Shantae had to be scrapped mid-development. It’s only now, when the half-genie has a fervent fanbase AND Wayforward can publish games on their own, that they can think about pulling this lost chapter out of storage. Shantae Advance really is coming out, though depending which way you want to play it, you might have to wait longer. The physical GBA
First Clip From X-Men 97 Released
In 2021 Disney+ made an unexpected announcement — check that, an unX-pected announcement. The 1990s X-Men cartoon, a massive hit in its day running five seasons on Fox Kids, would be resurrected to continue right where it left off. Direct from 1997, it’s X-Men 97! Today the first full clip from the series was released…which is cutting it rather close as the actual show premieres in less than a week. The series ended with the apparent death of Professor X and the passing of the torch to Cyclops as the new leader of the X-Men. One thing about those final episodes is that the show’s budget was reduced, so the animation took a hit. As you can see from this clip, it’s received quite the glow-up from there…. If only it could’ve looked like this back then. The Sentinels are after the mutants again, and the whole gang is here to fight them, even Morph and Bishop, who only showed up on occasion. One cast member that WON’T be there?
Anna: Which is Better? Rich or Poor?
“Anna” is a Korean drama series which is an Amazon Exclusive, released in 2022, with 6 episodes, and categorized as a Melodrama. Reviews about this K-drama might be mixed but that did not stop Bae Suzy from winning the 2023 (2nd) Blue Dragon Series Awards Best Actress Award for her role as “Anna”. ♦ Is Anybody Ever Satisfied With Beng Poor? In “Anna”, Yu-mi is the only daughter of a poor family. Her father is a tailor and her mother is a mute. Episode 1 begins with a car accident. One woman emerges from the accident, and walks away, rolling this thought over in her mind. “The thing about people is that they lie even in a diary that nobody else reads.” The scenes backtrack to her childhood and begin to tell her life story, from 1986, and forward. As a teenager, she told her art teacher: “I always do anything I put my mind to.” ALWAYS??? ANYTHING??? We won’t know until she becomes an adult if that character trait
The Witcher Will Wrap Up With Season Five
The first season of The Witcher was a huge hit for Netflix, to the point that they started promoting it alongside Stranger Things and Squid Game as one of their “icons.” Not everything works out that way, though. Every subsequent season has been a downgrade in quality from the last, and the spinoffs haven’t been any good at all (imagine getting Michelle Yeoh and wasting her). Netflix once talked about this show going on for at least a decade. But with declining interest, and the inevitable, unpopular replacement of Henry Cavill with Liam Hemsworth, it seems the writing is on the wall. The streamer has just renewed the show for Season 5, but this will be its last. Regarding Season Four, which is now in production: “After the shocking, Continent-altering events that close out season three, the new season follows Geralt, Yennefer, and Ciri who are faced with traversing the war-ravaged Continent and its many demons apart from each other,” says Netflix. “If they can embrace and lead the groups
Vinland Saga, FLCL And Other Blu-Rays Set For July

Vinland Saga: Season 2 Part 1 will be released on July 2 and contain promo videos, plus a textless version of the opening and ending songs. The first season of Vinland Saga introduced viewers to Torfinn. Throughout Season 1, Torfinn’s only goal was to kill his archenemy Askeladd, the man who murdered his father. As Season 2 opens, Askeladd is finally dead — but Torfinn didn’t do the deed. Denied his revenge, the man now wonders what his purpose is. Someone else thought “your purpose is to be my slave,” so he’s captured by landowner Ketil and forced to toil on his farmland. But there, Torfinn meets Einar, a fellow slave who convinces him to find new meaning. While that’s going on, Canute has been crowned King of England and is setting his sights on Demnark
