This show centers around a group of friends – Sam (Alfred Molina), the grumpy traditionalist; Jack (Bill Pullman), the athletic one; Wally (Denis O’Hare), the eccentric and cool guy; Art (Clarke Peters), the laid-back type (with his wife Judy, played by Alfre Woodard, acting as the mother figure); and Renee (Geena Davis), the attractive and spirited one. Their lives take a strange turn when Sam moves to the seemingly idyllic retirement community of The Boroughs, and residents start mysteriously dying. A conspiracy begins to unfold, and the result is a clever and endearing story that feels like a throwback to classic 1990s sci-fi, with a touch of Stephen King. If you enjoy this type of genre fiction, you’ll likely love it.

Hulu has announced that The Testaments will return for a second season, just a week before the first season ends on May 27th. The decision to renew the show is based on its strong performance, with viewers worldwide watching over 45 million hours of the series on Hulu and Disney+. Each episode has consistently attracted more viewers than the last. Season one centers on Agnes (Chase Infiniti) and Daisy (Lucy Halliday), two young women experiencing life in Gilead from different perspectives. Agnes is a devout teenager being raised within the system, while Daisy comes from outside Gilead’s borders. Ann Dowd returns as Aunt Lydia, and Elisabeth Moss makes a special guest appearance as June Osborn from The Handmaid’s Tale.

It’s expected to be a big event, and we might learn some important details about the anime there – possibly even news about Season 4 if it hasn’t been announced yet.

As a longtime Doctor Who fan, I’ve always been fascinated by the Daleks, and digging into the BBC’s official Dalek Combat Manual is a deep dive! Apparently, the original Daleks weren’t just creatures inside the casings, but actually operated what were called Mark III Travel Machines. These things were seriously equipped – think rotating domes for a full view, energy weapons, and all sorts of attachments they could swap out, from flamethrowers to even suction cups. The shells themselves are made of this super-rare metal called Dalekanium, and while fans have documented tons of tiny differences, most of them don’t actually change how dangerous a Dalek is. So, I decided to rank all the official Dalek types, as laid out in the manual, by just how much trouble they could give the Doctor. Let’s see which ones are the biggest threats!

I finally got to play the closed beta for this sci-fi RPG – basically, a demo – on my PS5, along with everyone else on other platforms. The developers, Owlcat Games, really wanted to get a ton of feedback from us players, which is awesome!
