Because Welcome to Derry has spent so much time developing its characters and history, the destruction of the Black Spot club will be even more shocking and upsetting than the frightening nightmare scene in the 2017 IT movie. That scene showed young Mike Hanlon seeing burning hands reaching out from the club’s doors, a vision that deeply traumatized his family. Will the series finally show this devastating event happen?

I noticed some big changes coming to Netflix for fans of Adult Swim’s Rick and Morty. Starting December 30th, the show will no longer be available in several countries, including Germany, Greece, India, Italy, Japan, and South Korea, among others. Then, on December 31st, the UK will also lose access. The good news is that it’s not a complete removal! Rick and Morty will remain on Netflix in places like Argentina, Brazil, France, and Switzerland, so fans in those countries can still enjoy the show.

Caput Mortum first launched for PC via Steam on August 27.

December means Spotify Wrapped is here! Every year, people enjoy seeing a summary of their listening habits. James Gunn recently shared a snippet of his top songs on X, explaining that his full Wrapped was dominated by music from his upcoming film, Man of Tomorrow. This suggests the movie will have a great soundtrack, similar to his other films.

HBO and HBO Max have produced a lot of excellent, newer TV series worth watching. With shows spanning many different genres, there’s something for everyone. We’re leaving out a couple of the most popular titles, like The Last of Us and The Penguin, to highlight seven other fantastic shows you might not have discovered yet – they’re all really well-made and deserve your attention.

Originally released in arcades in 1988 to positive reviews, Altered Beast quickly became a standout title when it came to the Sega Genesis in 1989. The game tells the story of a Roman soldier brought back to life by Zeus to save Athena from the villain Neff. As players collect power-ups, their character transforms into powerful mythical creatures – a unique and popular feature for its time in the beat-’em-up genre. Altered Beast was even packaged with the Genesis when it first launched in North America, introducing the game to a large audience and ensuring its lasting popularity.

Sometimes, heroes will do whatever it takes to save the day. We’ve seen examples like Rogue taking on Ms. Marvel’s powers and Superman using Darkseid’s dangerous energy. In these moments, they’re willing to push their own boundaries and even use their enemies’ strengths against them, even if it means doing things they wouldn’t normally consider.

Even though Xbox pioneered the idea of playing flight simulators from your couch, Microsoft Flight Simulator on PlayStation still feels different. It’s a detailed and realistic simulation designed for dedicated flight controls and multiple screens, not a typical living room setup. As I started my first flight using the DualSense controller, I wondered if the experience of flying could truly come across on a TV screen, if a controller could provide a genuine feeling of being in the air, and if my living room could even briefly feel like a cockpit.

The new Hello Kitty game is a unique experience for fans! Called Hello Kitty Skyland, it’s the first virtual reality social game in the Hello Kitty series. It will be available in Early Access on Meta Quest starting December 22nd, letting players interact with Hello Kitty and her friends in VR – and it’s free to play if you have a Meta Quest headset.

Michael J. Fox is best known for playing Marty McFly in all three Back to the Future movies, where his high school character gets into some seriously complicated situations with Doc Brown and a time-traveling DeLorean. But Fox hasn’t limited himself to that iconic role; he’s continued acting and even provided voice work, recently appearing in Zootopia 2. However, he considers a lesser-known 2019 science fiction film his most heartfelt tribute to the Back to the Future legacy.
