I absolutely loved Everwood. It’s about Dr. Andrew Brown, a really successful brain surgeon whose world gets turned upside down when his wife passes away. He decides to completely change things up, leaving his life in New York City to move with his kids, Delia and Ephram, to this small town in Colorado called Everwood. It was a place his wife had always loved. What I really appreciated about the show, even though it had a definite small-town vibe, was that it wasn’t afraid to get real and deal with some pretty tough stuff.

The film also has other strong qualities, but it marked a relatively quiet time for a studio known for consistently releasing successful movies. Like Treasure Planet, Atlantis: The Lost Empire didn’t get the recognition it deserved and was quickly forgotten. Now, on the occasion of its 25th anniversary, a sequel is coming in late 2026. Disney and Papercutz will publish a graphic novel, Atlantis: The Lost Empire Vol. 1 – The Curse of Kurok, in October. This is great news for fans who, like many, feel Atlantis deserves another look.

It looks like Revival, the sci-fi mystery series that premiered on Syfy, has been canceled. A year has passed since the first season, and there’s been no news about whether it will continue. That’s disappointing, as Revival offered a unique premise. The show is set in a small Wisconsin town where people mysteriously come back to life – not as zombies, but as their former selves. As the town grapples with this phenomenon, police officer and single mother Dana Cypress investigates a murder that becomes incredibly complex when the victim returns to life, making everyone a potential suspect.

Director Kane Parsons shared with Polygon that he envisioned sequels even as he began working on the Backrooms movie. He explained that the film is intended as the first installment in a planned series, allowing him to fully explore the core concept which he believes is too complex for a single movie.

Hyūganatsu, the creator of The Apothecary Diaries, recently discussed the series with scrmbl, revealing some behind-the-scenes details. When asked about the inspiration for the story and its world, Hyūganatsu clarified that the setting isn’t actually ancient China, as many fans believe. They explained that the timeframe is more accurately described as the early modern period, stating, “It’s not ‘ancient’ at all.”

I’ve always loved Jack Ryan, and it’s been so cool to see different actors take on the role! From Alec Baldwin kicking things off in The Hunt for Red October to the recent series on Prime Video, I thought it would be fun to look back at the five guys who’ve played him and how they each brought something unique to the character.

Whether it’s with allies like Kitty Pryde or rivals like Deadpool, a team-up featuring Wolverine is usually a fun experience.

I’m still amazed that Marvel and Jay and Silent Bob are teaming up, especially since it’s written by Kevin Smith!
