HBO Max Is About To Lose Two of the Best Horror Movies of the Decade So Far

If you’re a subscriber to HBO Max and want to watch the first two movies in Ti West’s horror trilogy, you need to do so before the end of the year. X and Pearl will no longer be available to stream after December 31st. X, released in 2022, is a slasher film about a group making an adult movie in Texas. Pearl is also from 2022 and tells the story of how the character Pearl became who she is. Both films star Mia Goth, who plays Pearl and Maxine, a character who survives a violent event and goes to Hollywood in the final movie of the trilogy, MaXXXine, which will remain available on HBO Max.

Netflix Reveals a Disappointing Slate of Several Anime Leaving in 2026

I’m so excited to see how much more involved Netflix is getting with anime! It’s a booming industry, and as one of the biggest streaming services, they already have a ton of amazing shows. While we’re all eagerly waiting for our favorites to come back next year, Netflix is constantly adding new series too. But unfortunately, it’s not all good news – What’s on Netflix recently reported that over 100 Originals, including some fantastic anime, are leaving the platform soon. It’s a real shame to see some of these go!

Stranger Things Confirms the Most Important Season for the Show (And It’s Unexpected)

Considering the unexpected turns and revelations from the first two seasons, it’s evident that Season 2 is playing a crucial role in how the show will ultimately conclude. While it took four seasons to develop the story and characters, much of the groundwork for Season 5 was laid much earlier. The final season may revisit the events of Will’s disappearance in Season 1 and continue plotlines from Season 4, but none of what happens in the latest episodes would have been possible without the events of Season 2.

Huge New BioShock 4 Leak Confirms Major Rumor From 2021

A new studio, Cloud Chamber, was created to develop the next BioShock game.

29 Years Ago, Marvel Made the Greatest Mistake with Captain America Ever

Captain America has been featured in many great comic book stories, crafted by some of the industry’s most skilled writers and artists. While his comics were popular in the 1960s and 70s, and the 80s produced some of his best adventures, the 1990s proved difficult. The X-Men dominated that decade, and other Marvel characters, including Captain America, struggled to find an audience. Attempts to revitalize Cap with different versions – like Cap-Wolf and an armored version – didn’t quite work, though 1995 brought a promising new direction. Unfortunately, Marvel’s plans nearly derailed that progress.
