These movies weren’t instant hits, but viewers who decided to watch them quickly became fans and told their friends. Over time, both during their initial release and afterward, they’ve become surprisingly enjoyable – and they could have easily been much worse.

Starring Damien Lewis, Gina McKee, and Rupert Graves, The Forsyte Saga follows the compelling story of the Forsyte family – a wealthy British family – over three generations, from the 1870s to the 1920s. The show’s enduring popularity is clear in its stunning costumes, detailed sets, grand visuals, and strong acting. Many consider it a precursor to shows like Downton Abbey, offering a similar glimpse into upper-class British life.

It’s a shame The Cuphead Show isn’t more well-known, especially since it perfectly captures the spirit of the original video game. Beyond replicating the game’s distinctive cartoon style, the show also nails its quirky humor and unique visual approach. After releasing three seasons starting in 2022, Netflix hasn’t announced a fourth season, but fans of both gaming and animation are eager for Cuphead and Mugman to return. Regardless of whether it continues, the show has already proven itself to be a standout series.

Sharp-eyed viewers of Monarch Season 2 have spotted a big surprise. The opening credits tease what’s to come, with clear references to Godzilla and Kong and a focus on journeys at sea. But the most interesting clue is an old newspaper clipping that dramatically changes what we know about Skull Island. Apparently, the island hasn’t existed forever…

The movie That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime: Tears of the Azure Sea is currently playing in Japanese theaters, and will be released in cinemas across the United States and Canada on May 1st. To mark the occasion, Crunchyroll and Sony Pictures have released a new trailer and poster, which you can find below.

Despite all the advancements in gaming, many modern games feel like something is missing. Looking back at older consoles, like the PlayStation 2, it’s clear that games once had a unique charm that seems to have been lost. The focus on incredibly realistic graphics has led to a move away from the imaginative and stylized visuals common in that era, which is disappointing. This shift has not only made games look more similar to each other, but it’s also made it harder for video games to develop their own recognizable artistic style.

It’s common for fantastic games not to get sequels, and there are usually clear reasons why – like disappointing sales even with good reviews, changes within the game company, or losing the rights to make more games. However, that wasn’t the case with a potential sequel to Black. The developers definitely wanted to make one and had even started working on it. Sadly, disagreements about the game’s direction – the classic issue of ‘creative differences’ – ultimately stopped the project. While fans were disappointed, a similar game called Bodycount came out in 2011, but it wasn’t a true continuation of the Black story.

Core Keeper, a surprisingly excellent survival game, first launched in Early Access in 2022 and officially released in 2024. While it’s been consistently popular, especially after coming to consoles, it hasn’t gotten quite the attention it deserves for a well-made, open-world survival game that lets up to eight players team up. Recently, the game is gaining popularity again thanks to the new Void & Voltage update – and it’s a welcome boost for a truly great title.
