Fifth Season of Disenchantment Confirmed By Netflix
Matt Groening’s Disenchantment originally had a deal for two seasons at Netflix, and was then renewed for two more. By the time Season 4 came out it was obvious the show was never going to take off in the same manner his previous shows have, and we figured four seasons would be all it’d have. But surprise — rumors of a fifth season were true. It is also confirmed that no, there will not be any more Disenchantment after this. Disenchantment is the only fully serialized Groening series (some might say to its detriment), and it’s kind of crucial that the storyline be given advance warning of its own demise. Fortunately this IS a situation where they knew that going in. Expect all questions to be answered and all plot threads tied up in this final season. Altogether 50 episodes of Disenchantment were made. So what happens? “It all endeth here. The misadventures of hard-hitting, hard-drinking Queen Bean, her feisty elf companion Elfo and her personal demon Luci culminate in
Jason Statham’s Journey from Vendor to Most Bankable Star
You must have seen that bald, English, tough guy whom no one can defeat. Well, you’ll never guess, he was a vegetable vendor in the market. That is inspiring! How does one go from selling vegetables to being of Hollywood’s most bankable actors? Jason Statham was born on 26 July 1967 in Shirebrook, Derbyshire, England where his love for martial arts led him to acquire it as a hobby while he worked in the market stalls. He was a part of the British diving team and participated in the commonwealth games. With some fame of athletic success, he was soon contracted as a model for the Tommy Hilfiger brand and later Levi’s. As fame brings fame, he was soon chosen to play a market vendor in two films Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998) and Snatch (2000). Transported to Fame The films were overly successful and won him a starring role in the Transporter Franchise (Transporter trilogy (2002–2008). He was very important in keeping alive the ‘tough guy’ action films which were losing place to
Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse Hits Digital August, Blu-ray September
The most anticipated animated movie of the summer is here! In fact, it’s been here for a while, in case you haven’t noticed.

The digital copy will be available as soon as next week, while the physical copy will come out next month.

When she does revisit him, he’s thrilled enough to chase her back through the portal into the Spider-Verse itself. He discovers a secret organization of Spider-People from across the multiverse, working for one common goal. At the same time, Miles also discovers the truth about his abilities and the circumstances involved, which put him into far greater danger. No further spoilers here!

Spy X Family, Chainsaw Man And Others Added To Crunchyroll’s Free Tier
Good news from Crunchyroll: many of the service’s most popular hits of the recent past (and present) are now watchable without a paid subscription. The streamer just moved Chainsaw Man, Spy X Family, Vinland Saga, Bluelock, Lycoris Recoil, My Dress-Up Darling and many others to its ad-supported tier, which is free. “It’s part of our service to fans when we can make popular titles more accessible,” said Crunchyroll’s Chief Content Officer, Asa Suehira. “These titles will be part of the 1,000 hours of Crunchyroll’s library available free for fans as a way of sampling the world of anime, building new audiences, and growing the already passionate community.” Is there a catch?

The guide below will tell you which shows are offered and in what form. Crunchyroll has many other shows on their free tier too, including Cowboy
Alien is the next Chapter of Dead By Daylight!
Alien is one of the most requested licensed chapters in Dead by Daylight. The teaser showcases the spaceship from the first movie, exciting fans who had been eager for a Xenomorph killer. While there are different kinds of Xenomorphs, it’s unlikely to be the Queen due to her size. When the End of the Transmision Chapter revealed the Singularity as a Robot Alien, some fans felt disheartened, thinking it decreased the chance of a Xenomorph. However, fans should remember that in this game, similar killers like HillBilly and Leatherface coexist, each with their distinct playstyles. Both Spirit and Sadako are Onryou killers, but they still have unique abilities that set them apart. Just like how Ryu and Ken coexist in Street Fighter games with their different fighting styles. The addition of Alien will make it the 29th chapter in Dead by Daylight, and fans had been waiting for it for years. It will be the 9th Licensed Chapter of Dead by Daylight. Alien, Dead by Daylight Chapter. What I wish
Don’t Play This Game Announced By Parable Games
Calling a tabletop game “Don’t Play This Game” seems ill-advised, but when you think about it, 99% of the people who come across it would take that as a challenge and say “you don’t tell me what to do, game, I’m playing you.” That’s the subtle strategy publisher Parable Games is counting on. It’s this same misguided instinct that drives protagonists of countless horror movies to enter that haunted house, pick up that cursed object, or investigate that scary noise. Don’t Play This Game is inspired by such tales; the game’s narrative dictates that once the player finds the book, they must finish the game or else suffer a horrific fate. Of course they can also suffer a horrific fate WHILE playing the game. Cursed games are like that. Don’t Play This Game is one of the few tabletop experiences that’s designed for a single player (all the more spooky to be alone!) It can also be played with several players, though, if they take turns. The game is designed
Spy Kids: Armageddon, A reboot Nobody asked for
Spy Kids: Armageddon is a reboot of the the Spy Kids Franchise. Alexa Vega and Daryl Sabara, the original Spy Kids are too old to continue reprising their roles. Both are now on their 30s and Both of them have spouses and children now. Alexa is now married to Sean Covel while Daryl Sabara, is married to Meghan Trainor. They could do what Netflix did with The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl in 3-D where the leads return as adults. But Netflix decided to make a reboot instead and go back to the beginning. Connor Estersonand Everly Carganilla will now be the titular siblings. Zachary Levi and Gina Rodriguez will not play the roles originally portrayed by Antonio Banderas and Carla Gugino. Robert Rodriguez who directed the original is so proud that his son Racer Max wrote the script of this reboot. I feel a bit sad about Zachary Levi, If Shazam: Fury of the Gods was success, he wont be doing this movie. Failure of Black Adam, had a
Experience The Timey-Wimey Insanity Of The Loki Season 2 Trailer
Secret Invasion turned out to be exactly what the Marvel Cinematic Universe DIDN’T need right now — a boring slog of a miniseries that did nothing to draw an increasingly apathetic public back from “superhero fatigue.” Can Loki, God of Mischief and former nemesis of the Avengers, change that fate? You all loved him once, remember? In the first season of Loki — starring Tom Hiddleston, reprising his movie role — we were introduced to the TVA, the strict bureaucracy that protects spacetime from anomalies and irregularities — like Loki himself had managed to become. But the Trickster God was slick enough to slip out of every trap the TVA set for him, teaming up with Sylvie, a female Loki from another dimension, to expose the founder and shut the operation down. Even if Loki Season 2 manages to be as engaging as Loki Season 1, there’s this other problem. Season 1 introduced Kang the Conqueror, intended to be the Big Bad of the current “multiverse” arc of the MCU.
Mattel wants to make their own Cinematic Universe
Mattel is on a high right now because of the success of Barbie. Right Wing personalities tried to sabotage it by saying its “Anti-men”. It has some feminist elements but it is not misandry as it criticized extremist feminism and patriarchy. It is more of a humanist film that wants you to empower yourself whether you are a Barbie or a Ken. As of today, The movie made $774,502,851 worldwide. No flopping in China and ban from Vietnam stopped this movie from dominating the box office worldwide. Ben Shapiro thought he will destroy this movie with his negative review and burning Barbie and Ken dolls to show his hate. Well he fails because this movie is probably going to make billions by the end of the week. Mattel also made more money from merchandise and brand partnerships. Many fast foods around the world added a Pink colored food on their Menu. Fashion brand sold Clothes inspired from the film. The Soundtrack of Barbie is thriving at the charts. So

Tensei Released To Steam
A Japan-based indie dev team called Project Pegasus has just released their casual platformer Tensei to Steam. It has a cool ink-shaded look reminiscent of old illustrations from the region. You play as a bouncing ball, and your only goal is to jump as high as you possibly can. As you rise, you’ll spot “damage zones” in the air, which you can purify by dropping into them and erasing them. Collect ink droplets you see along the way to become more powerful, rise higher and obtain flight powers. It’s possible to gain the temporary ability to turn into a dragon. We should point out that some of the background images in this game were generated with AI (not everything, just some backgrounds) so if that’s a sticking point, you can ignore the game. A unique sensation of low-gravity gameplay: Project your consciousness into the game as you relax and lose yourself in the flow of the gameplay. Use a triple jump to navigate from one platform to the next as
