Gene Shalit started his television career in 1970 as a part-time contributor to TODAY, becoming a full-time movie critic three years later.

Shalit wasn’t just known for what he thought of movies, but how he shared his opinions. His “Critics Corner” segments were famous for his vibrant personality and reviews filled with puns and clever jokes. He became a pop culture figure, even being parodied on Saturday Night Live and appearing as an animated character. Shalit himself voiced animated versions of himself on shows like The Critic and SpongeBob SquarePants.

That’s why the recent sale of a video game for a record-breaking price is so noteworthy. We had predicted this particular copy of Super Mario Bros. might sell for over $1 million – a significant amount, even if not a record – but it actually exceeded that estimate and became the most expensive video game ever sold. This copy was in excellent condition, and it’s likely to hold the record for quite some time.

Nono Daiki’s sports manga, Ekiden Bros, debuted last June but was unfortunately cancelled in October after just 17 chapters. While it started well, the series struggled to maintain reader interest.

With Apple TV now adapting a major fantasy series, Henry Cavill is frequently mentioned as a potential cast member. The company is prioritizing adaptations of Brandon Sanderson’s popular Cosmere novels, specifically Mistborn and The Stormlight Archive. While Sanderson has been working on bringing these stories to life for years, and Cavill had previously shown interest in one of the projects, the author has stated that Cavill is no longer suitable for that particular role. However, there’s still a chance he could appear in other parts of Apple’s fantasy world.
