Eeek! This M3GAN Is Real!
What if some fool got ahold of the designs for M3GAN and recreated the doll in real life? We’d all be doomed, wouldn’t we? Fortunately, no one’s that dumb, not even Elon Musk. No, wait….someone IS! SHE’S HERE! AAAAAAAAHHH! M3GAN was a surprise hit for Universal two years ago. Films that are dumped in January are usually there because the studio has little faith in them, and they tend to be horror films, so they all blend together and make little money. M3GAN defied the odds, though. After everyone witnessed this mechanical killer doing TikTok dances before lunging at someone in an office building, they had to know more, and now there’s a sequel coming next year. M3GAN has made it! Getting to the point, collectible merchandisers NECA have licensed the property to create a life-size M3GAN, proportioned just as she would be in the film. They say the sculpt is 100% exact: it is “based on M3GAN’s on-screen appearance, duplicated from actual film-used digital files to be the most
Freaky Friday 2 under development
Freaky Friday 2 is now under development as confirmed by Jamie Lee Curtis on her Instagram. 21 years ago Lindsey Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis played the role of Ana Coleman and Tess Coleman. A teenage daughter and her career oriented mom who don’t get along. They experience a body swap and experience how hard each other’s life is making them closer when they finally got free from the curse. Lindsay Lohan is currently experiencing a renaissance in her career, and one of her hit movies finally has a sequel. Years ago, her movie “Life-Size” with Tyra Banks got a sequel, but Lindsay Lohan was not able to commit to the project, so Tyra had to come up with a different story. Fans have been asking for Lohan to star in a “Freaky Friday” sequel throughout the years, and perfect timing seems to have finally arrived. Freaky Friday 2 announcement Lohan was only 17 years old when she did this movie. Now she is 37 obviously her character Anna
One the Woman (2021): Perfect K-Drama for Fans of Honey Lee
“One the Woman” is the perfect Korean drama series for fans of Honey Lee (or Lee Ha-Nee). The series was released in 2021, has 16 episodes, and is categorized as Crime, Mystery, Romance, and Comedy. Lee Ha-Nee had taken time off from her acting career to start a family. She returned to acting in the 2024 K-drama series “Knight Flower”. In that historical period series, she played a widow by day and a masked crusader by night, doing noble deeds for those in need. Old fans were happy to see her once again and no doubt this series created new fans for her. Once Lee Ha-Nee returned to work she got busy. She was cast to star in the 2024 Korean movie “Alienoid 2”, and the 2024 K-drama series “Aema”. They are on my watch list. The filmography for this popular South Korean actress dates back to 2009. Old and new fans will likely want to check out some of her other acting projects, such as “One the Woman”. In

Dead by Daylight: My Little Oni Event is a limited event of Giant proportions
After the release of the controversial “Killer the ‘Unknown’” by Dead by Daylight, there will be an event that might revitalize one of the veteran Killers. When this teaser was released, people thought it was just an April Fool’s joke, but it’s not. It is an April Fool’s event but it is actually playable! In fact, there is a PTB (Public Test Build) that is playable for selected streamers. The event, “My Little Oni,” will make the killer, “The Oni,” look massive to Survivor players. He won’t be a giant; instead, the Survivors will be shrunk to be smaller. Making him a giant might mess up the map. It’s a shame that the Attack on Titan skins are now out of the Dead by Daylight Store because this event would be awesome with the Armored Titan skin for Oni. This event is temporary, Once the event is over “Giant Oni” will be gone. I hope this event will be at least active for a month at least. Oni killer mains will
8-Bit Brigade Launches Kickstarter
Indie developers unite for 8-Bit Brigade, a Switch compilation of NES homebrew games, now crowdfunding on Kickstarter. We’ve covered the crowdfunding campaigns for several NES homebrews around here. Usually their purpose is to produce physical versions on real NES cartridges, but getting the games published on modern hardware is another matter (unless it’s Steam, then you just roll the ROM into an emulation package and hit “publish”). So, these indie creators figured, why not team up and release one massive compilation title? Thus was formed the 8-BIT BRIGADE. The campaign launched today. 8-Bit Brigade contains ten of the biggest NES projects of the last few years, from developers like Dale Coop (Skate Cat), Nate Peters (Doodle World) and YouTuber John Riggs (Yeah Yeah Beebiss II). The #1 goal is to produce a physical copy on Switch, and for that to happen a higher number of pledges has to be hit — the goal is $60,000. They’re a long way off, but with 29 days to go (and your help), they

Even though Young-Hye loved Han-Joo, she married for money; not for love. Because she was an orphan she was never accepted by her wealthy mother-in-law.

The Night Owl: A Blind Acupuncturist Witnesses a Murder

It is loosely based on a factual record taken from the Annals of the Joseon Dynasty during the 1640s. ♦ The Blind Can “See” “The Night Owl” begins by providing some information recorded in the historical records of Joseon. “After returning from being held hostage for 8 years in Qing, the crown prince fell ill suddenly, He bled from the eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. He appeared to have died by drug poisoning.” ~ June 27, 1645 Annals of the Joseon Dynasty Physicians are being recruited to work at the palace in the royal clinic.

If he can get the job working at the palace, he will be able to buy a house and buy the medicinal herbs his daughter needs to get better. The problem is Kyeong-Soo is blind. But is that
AntonBlast Blasts Onto Switch November 12
Nintendo’s Indie World showcase streamed early this morning, and the games shown off were heavily on the cozy and cutesy side….with one wild, noisy exception. ANTONBLAST is finally here. We’ve been waiting for this game ever since its Kickstarter campaign happened years ago. Dynamite Anton is an irate man with a very bushy beard who “had his spirit collection stolen by the devil” (I’m just reporting what they told me). The point is that it makes him angry enough to charge through levels and obstacles like a bulldozer, blowing up everything in his path. You can play as Anton or his genderswapped doppleganger Dynamite Annie, but however you do it, you’ve got to retrace your steps doubly as quick once you reach the end — or the bomb you set will go off on you! AntonBlast looks super fun. And to everyone who ignorantly thinks this is a Pizza Tower ripoff…it’s not. The two games share a lot of similarities (shaky manic art style, beating levels as fast as possible)
