5 Anime That Should Have Been Massive Hits (But Left Us Disappointed)

It’s always a letdown when an anime series loses quality, but it’s particularly frustrating when it had so much potential. We’ve all seen shows that started strong, like Attack on Titan, but didn’t live up to expectations, or those that fizzled out after a promising first season. These are great examples of that disappointing trend.

5 Times Star Trek & Star Wars Referenced Each Other

Both Star Wars and Star Trek are still major players in entertainment in 2026. Star Wars has a busy year ahead, with the Maul: Shadow Lord series debuting on Disney+ in April and The Mandalorian and Grogu coming to theaters in May. Star Trek is marking its 60th anniversary with the Starfleet Academy show now available on Paramount+ and a fourth season of Strange New Worlds on the way. Plus, in November 2025, Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley signed on to write and direct a brand new Star Trek movie that won’t be connected to any previous stories. Interestingly, despite being made by competing studios, the creators of Star Wars and Star Trek have a long history of playfully referencing each other in their films, TV shows, and animated series.

Steam Giving Away Two PC Games for Free for Next 72 Hours

Steam is currently offering two games for free. The first is House Flipper, a popular simulation game from 2018. While a sequel was released in 2023, only the original is free right now, and it actually has better reviews. It boasts a “Very Positive” rating with 94% approval based on over 45,000 user reviews – the second-highest rating possible on Steam. The other free game is Depths of Horror: Mushroom Day, a first-person horror adventure released in 2021. It has a 74% approval rating. House Flipper is confirmed to work well with the Steam Deck, but Valve hasn’t tested Depths of Horror: Mushroom Day on the Steam Deck, so its compatibility is uncertain.

Peacock Adds One of the Most Divisive Horror Movies of 2025 (But It’s Bound To Be a Future Cult Classic)

I was so excited to finally stream Five Nights at Freddy’s 2! It just became available on NBCUniversal on April 3rd, after being in theaters back in December 2025. As a fan of the first movie – which was based on Scott Cawthon’s popular video game about haunted, killer robots at an old arcade – I was really curious to see the sequel. It’s interesting because this movie actually had a bigger difference between what critics thought and what audiences thought than any other film on the site! When it first came out, critics gave it a really low score – only 13% on the Tomatometer – but audiences loved it, giving it 88% on the Popcornmeter. The scores have changed a little since then, it’s now at 16% for critics and 83% for audiences, but it’s still a huge gap!
