If you enjoy Stranger Things, you’ll probably love these sci-fi and horror movies too. They share a similar vibe and are definitely worth checking out.

Unlike heroes like Captain America and Spider-Man who often return after dying, certain members of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes have been dead for a long time – even decades – with no indication they’ll ever be resurrected. Though some may occasionally appear as undead characters, they’ve never been fully brought back to life.

I remember watching “Lisa’s First Word,” the tenth episode from The Simpsons’ fourth season, when it first aired in 1992. The episode was really clever, jumping between what was happening with the family now and flashbacks to the past. In the present, Homer and Marge were desperate to hear Maggie say her first word – it was a running gag that she hadn’t said anything yet! While they waited, Homer and Marge reminisced about Lisa’s first word. The flashbacks showed a lot of tension between Lisa and Bart when they were younger, but we also saw them eventually make up. It turned out Lisa’s first word was actually “Bart,” which was a sweet moment, even though they were still bickering in the present day.

Netflix has added both seasons of the series Hunters, which originally aired on Prime Video. The show first launched in 2020, with a final season released in 2023. While still available on Amazon Prime Video, Hunters is now also streaming on Netflix, potentially reaching a wider audience and gaining the recognition many believe it deserves.

Daphne Zuniga, known for her role as Queen Vespa in the original Spaceballs, posted a photo on Instagram from the wrap party for Spaceballs 2, letting fans know that filming is officially finished. She described working on the movie as an “incredible experience.” You can see her post below.

This set, part of the Gaming Greats collection, includes a trooper figure with two blasters and a removable helmet, plus a battle droid with a blaster and antenna. The battle droid is designed with the white and gold coloring of its training skin from the game, and the trooper features the red Coruscant Guard design. Notably, this trooper uses the updated Clone Trooper body released in 2023 – it’s not just a simple retool from older figures. See more details in the image gallery below.

Okay, so when I jump into a casino game, whether it’s online or in person, the first thing that gets me is just how bright and loud everything is. The designers are really good at using colors like neon blue, gold, and red – they seem to instantly make you feel like winning is possible. Everything moves so smoothly, and even a small win is celebrated with cool sounds and animations, like a little ‘attaboy!’ It’s like they’re telling you to keep going. I’ve read that upbeat music actually speeds up your heart rate and makes time fly by, and the flashing lights just add to the excitement, keeping your eyes glued to the screen. It’s a total cycle: you see something flash, hit spin, hear a win, and do it all over again. And with each spin, your brain releases dopamine – that feel-good chemical that gives you a little rush of happiness. It’s seriously addictive!

In the Harry Potter stories, when Voldemort killed Harry’s mother, he accidentally turned Harry into a Horcrux – essentially, a piece of Voldemort’s soul latched onto him. This created a powerful connection between them, similar to how Will Byers became linked to Vecna after his first trip to the Upside Down, where Vecna exposed him to particles of the Mind Flayer. Because Harry had to sacrifice himself to defeat Voldemort, fans are understandably concerned about what might happen to Will Byers in the final season of Stranger Things.

Captain Atom is often defeated simply to show how powerful a villain is, and he rarely gets a chance to be the hero. This has led many to believe his insecurity isn’t a character flaw, but a commentary on how he’s used in stories. However, a recent DC event, DC K.O.: Superman vs Captain Atom, finally allowed him to showcase his abilities. The event not only highlighted his already immense power, but definitively established him as being stronger than Superman.
