Back in 2007, when Grindhouse was initially released, those who attended the theater were treated to some satirical movie previews. One of these trailers, titled Machete, eventually transformed into a real film and even received a sequel, Machete Kills, known for being one of the most absurd movies to grace (and then depart from) cinemas. Similarly, following in Robert Rodriguez’s footsteps, Eli Roth brought his project, Thanksgiving, to life in 2023.

The hit animated show “Bob’s Burgers” is currently navigating its remarkable 15th season, and it seems to be improving with every new episode. It’s a challenge for any long-running television series, but it’s particularly tough for animated ones. Few adult animated shows manage to last long enough to truly discover their unique identity, and even fewer continue to improve with each passing season. Contrary to the usual notion that longevity diminishes a show’s quality, “Bob’s Burgers” is an exceptional case where this rule doesn’t apply.

As a die-hard DC fan and gamer, I’ve got to say James Gunn has been an outstanding representative for our beloved universe. His social media is always buzzing with exciting updates on the upcoming films and top-notch comic book recommendations. Recently, he addressed a rumor about the Creature Commandos series, suggesting a young Lex Luthor might make an appearance in the upcoming animated show – the first installment under DCU’s Chapter One: Gods And Monsters lineup. Sadly for us fans, Gunn had to quash that particular speculation, confirming that Lex Luthor won’t be part of the upcoming series.

It’s hard to envision a common TV series without an episode dedicated to Christmas or Halloween. These storylines are essential components of traditional programs, particularly network shows airing 20-22 episodes annually. Having a standard spooky or festive holiday episode is a convenient method to quickly cover popular storylines for those seasons. Interestingly, however, Thanksgiving isn’t as prevalent on television compared to other year-end holidays. While series like “Friends” and “Bob’s Burgers” have numerous Thanksgiving episodes, many TV shows avoid the holiday altogether. Why is this the case? What factors could explain why Thanksgiving hasn’t become a staple in TV history as other end-of-the-year holidays?

A recent gossip about the Kingdom Hearts franchise hints at a possible remake of an earlier game within the series. So far, most Kingdom Hearts titles have been updated and are conveniently playable on PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and PC. Games such as Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts 2, Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep, and Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance have all been upgraded from their initial releases, making them playable without any technical issues. With only a few installments left untouched by remastering, it seems that Square Enix might be planning to transfer one of the remaining games in the series to modern gaming platforms soon.

When the Marvel Cinematic Universe opted to venture into television shows, viewers were overjoyed. The arrival of Disney+ streaming service paved the way for an abundance of new characters and realms within the MCU that could either debut or be delved deeper into, in a more extensive format beyond movies. Initially, things kicked off well with the sensational success of WandaVision, but the quality of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Disney+ series gradually declined, oscillating between impressive peaks (such as Loki) and some of the poorest performances ever experienced by the franchise (Secret Invasion)).
