Bert Kreischer’s new six-episode series just dropped on Netflix and is ideal for watching all at once. Since premiering on January 22nd, it’s quickly become the most popular new scripted comedy on Netflix, both in the U.S. and around the world.
The latest storyline in Batman and Robin introduces Cyrus Mercer, known as the Quiet Man. He’s a former soldier who attempted a lucrative deal – selling recovered silver to the Falcone crime family. Unfortunately, the Ventriloquist interfered, causing a violent massacre and framing Mercer for the failed transaction. However, Mercer isn’t seeking revenge against the Ventriloquist for this botched deal. Instead, a surprising detail from his past reveals a striking similarity between Batman and the Punisher.
DreamWorks’ animated film Abominable, which premiered on Peacock on January 1st, won’t be available for long. It’s already scheduled to leave the platform by the end of the month. The movie, directed and written by Jill Culton, tells the story of Yi, a teenager voiced by Chloe Bennet, who is dealing with the loss of her father by withdrawing from loved ones. Her life changes when she finds a young Yeti and goes on a 2,000-mile adventure across China to help him return home, a journey that also helps her cope with her grief.
Koei Tecmo announced today that the release of their remastered version of Dynasty Warriors 3 has been delayed. The Dynasty Warriors 3: Complete Edition Remastered, originally planned for March 19th, was intended to be an updated version of the classic PlayStation 2 game. While no new release date has been announced, Koei Tecmo explained that they want to make sure the game meets their quality standards, especially as it’s the first time they’ve remastered an older title in the series.
Here is an overview of the collection, via Limited Run Games:
Kaley Cuoco both starred in and helped create the show Based on a True Story. The series follows her character, Ava Bartlett, and her husband, Nathan (played by Chris Messina), as they launch a true-crime podcast. Ava discovers that a new friend of Nathan’s, their plumber Matt Pierce (Tom Bateman), is actually a famous serial killer called the West Side Ripper, and he feeds them information for their show. The first season ended with the reveal of a copycat killer and Matt framing Nathan for his crimes. Despite these dramatic twists, Peacock canceled the show after one season.
The popular hairstylist, famous for his work with celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Jennifer Lopez, and Kris Jenner, recently shared how much his most luxurious service costs – and the price is surprisingly high.
Code Vein 2 tells a new story, separate from the first game, but still takes place in the same world. While some players are disappointed by this, my biggest issue is with the game’s world design. The original Code Vein had spacious areas without being a fully open world, but Code Vein 2 has embraced that trend, and it ultimately makes the game less enjoyable. Elden Ring proved that a soulslike game can work well in an open world, but this new approach doesn’t suit Code Vein 2.
As a big fan of The Batman universe, I was a little bummed to hear that both Colin Farrell’s Penguin and Cristin Milioti’s Sofia Falcone won’t be major players in the sequel. It’s not just the next movie either – Milioti hasn’t even been contacted about a potential return for The Penguin series! Director Matt Reeves explained that they were so far along in writing the script when The Penguin aired that it didn’t really fit. But he did say he thinks she’s fantastic and was really impressed with her performance in the show, so maybe there’s still hope for her character down the line. It’s a shame though, because I really enjoyed what she brought to the world!
Director Dean DeBlois announced the start of production for How to Train Your Dragon 2 on his X account (formerly Twitter). He shared a photo of himself with the film’s clapboard, marking the first day of shooting. He wrote, “Back in the saddle! Day 1 of principal photography on HTTYD2! The adventure begins.”
