We’ve got two new monster movies available to stream today! They probably won’t be remembered as all-time greats, but they’re sure to provide some enjoyable scares for fans of the genre.
Viz Media and Fathom Entertainment are partnering to bring the final season of Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War to U.S. theaters. Before the anime premieres in full this July, the first three episodes of Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War – The Calamity will be shown in cinemas for a limited time, from June 25th to 29th. Tickets go on sale May 29th; you can find more details about where to purchase them online.
As of today, Pragmata has received very positive reviews, averaging 85 out of 100 on Metacritic. This score is based on 81 critic reviews of the PlayStation 5 version. The Xbox, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC versions all received similar scores, generally between 85 and 90. Overall, Pragmata is one of the highest-rated games of 2026 so far. It remains to be seen if it will stay that way throughout the year, but it definitely seems like a game worth playing if you’re interested.
It’s become a common problem, particularly with popular TV shows over the last decade or so. The endings of shows like Game of Thrones and Stranger Things have both received strong negative reactions, and the creator of The Boys, Eric Kripke, experienced this before with his show Supernatural, which continued for ten seasons beyond his initial five-season plan. He’s very conscious of this issue, and it’s directly influencing Season 5 of The Boys through a new character, a repulsive Supe named the Worm, who talks about writing the script for a TV show’s finale.
Before Cillian Murphy blew us all away as Tommy Shelby in Peaky Blinders, he was already showing his knack for playing complex, captivating characters. I recently rediscovered Red Eye, a Wes Craven thriller from 2005 where he plays Jackson Rippner, a really charismatic but scary guy who basically forces a hotel manager, Lisa Reisert (played brilliantly by Rachel McAdams), to help him with a dangerous plan on a transatlantic flight. When it first came out, it was seen as a solid, fun thriller, but over the years, it’s really gained a following – it’s become one of those underappreciated cult favorites that I think more people should check out. It started streaming on Peacock on April 1st, so I revisited it recently and was reminded how good it is!
Recently, One Piece has been gaining more popularity, especially with Netflix working on the third season of its live-action series. This momentum got another boost when The Boys – another hit comic-turned-TV show – included a subtle nod to One Piece. In the premiere episode of The Boys‘ final season on Prime Video, fans spotted the Straw Hat Pirates’ logo hidden in the background. It’s a fun Easter egg for fans of both series!
Despite a rocky period, the late 2010s saw a resurgence in this type of movie. 2018’s Rampage and 2019’s Pokémon Detective Pikachu were both exciting, well-acted, and genuinely enjoyable adventures. And speaking of Rampage, it’s celebrating its eighth anniversary today, April 13th!
Jim Lee is a remarkably talented artist whose detailed and energetic artwork has made him a standout figure in the comic book world. His covers are now highly sought after, often selling for thousands of dollars, and it’s clear why – they’re the pieces that have defined his career and left a lasting mark on comic book history.
A new report from VGC says that more than an hour of gameplay from IO Interactive’s upcoming James Bond game has been leaked online.
Growing up in Montreal, my brother Marty and I started out as puppeteers back in the ’40s and ’50s. It was a real passion of ours! That eventually led to a fantastic opportunity – we got hired by Hanna-Barbera to help create the characters and sets for The Banana Splits. That show, with Fleegle, Snorky, Bingo, and Drooper, was totally psychedelic and a lot of fun. It was our first big break into television, and it opened doors for us to keep experimenting and come up with all sorts of new ideas for the format.
