You know, I heard a while back they actually asked me if I’d be interested in playing Voldemort again, but I haven’t heard a peep since, so I figured they were moving on to someone else. I was on The Claudia Winkleman Show recently, and I let slip that Tilda Swinton’s name came up as a possibility. Honestly, I think she’d be absolutely fantastic in the role – she’s just that kind of actor!
Herbert’s Dune isn’t a typical futuristic story because he didn’t envision a clean, modern world detached from history. Instead, he created a universe steeped in the past, full of tradition, ancient families, and religion deeply connected to power. It feels like a space-age medieval world, where a classic tale like The Odyssey doesn’t seem so far removed from the present. But how do all these historical elements fit into this futuristic setting?
As a long-time fan, it’s amazing to see Mendel Palace – originally released in Japan as Quinty – finally get some love! This game was a really personal project for Satoshi Tajiri, a dedicated gamer and fanzine editor, and his friends. They basically made the game they wanted to play, and it did surprisingly well! That early success eventually allowed Tajiri to convince Nintendo to create Pokémon, which, let’s face it, totally changed gaming and the world. Now that Mendel Palace is available on Switch and Switch 2, it’s cool to revisit where it all began and appreciate Nintendo letting us experience this piece of gaming history.
The comic book storyline Secret Invasion, known for its memorable taglines like “who do you trust” and “embrace change,” was a major event for Marvel in the 2000s. However, the Disney+ series adaptation of this story was a disappointment, failing to live up to the source material’s potential. Had the Marvel Cinematic Universe included even a portion of the comic’s best ideas and scenes, the show likely wouldn’t have become one of the lowest-rated series in MCU history.

Okay, so I just saw Thrash, and let me tell you, it’s…a lot. It’s an action thriller, and when I say there are sharks, I mean there are sharks. Surprisingly, the movie isn’t lacking in star power either – Djimon Hounsou and Phoebe Dynevor are both in it! The story drops you right into this little coastal town getting absolutely hammered by a massive storm. When things couldn’t get any worse, sharks start showing up everywhere – the flooding literally washes them into town. It’s basically a fight for survival as the townspeople have to band together. It’s definitely a wild ride!
The One Piece anime is continuing its coverage of the Elbaph Arc into the Spring 2026 schedule.

A brand new opening and ending theme song have also been released and are available to watch.

The animated series The Clone Wars brought back Maul and also introduced audiences to his two brothers, Savage and Feral. Many fans were surprised to learn that, unlike Maul who has red skin, his brothers had yellow skin, and this difference has been a long-standing mystery for Star Wars enthusiasts.
