The classic Nickelodeon cartoon Rocko’s Modern Life premiered in 1993 and followed Rocko as he navigated everyday life while working at a comic book store. The show featured Rocko’s friends Heffer and Filbert, along with a memorable group of quirky characters. Now, Mondo is releasing a new line of collectible figurines based on the show, including Rocko, Heffer, Filbert, Spunky, and a crow. While a release date hasn’t been announced yet, you can get a sneak peek below, and more details are expected soon.

Even though a second Simpsons Movie is coming next year, it doesn’t guarantee the show is doing incredibly well. While critics have been much more positive about The Simpsons since season 32, viewership hasn’t really increased. For years, each episode has averaged under a million viewers, and season 37, with 15 episodes, didn’t change this much – except for the popular annual Halloween special, Treehouse of Horror. Because of this, it seems more likely that The Simpsons might move to a streaming service in the future.

There are growing signs that Nagoshi Studio may have lost the financial backing needed to keep working on their project.

The X account Daredevil Shots, originally sharing images from Getty Images, posted a series of photos showing Wilson Fisk (Kingpin) walking through New York City. His look is noticeably different from previous appearances – he’s now sporting a full beard, a coat, and a red beanie. In the photos, he walks by posters advertising Sheila Rivera’s campaign for mayor. You can see the images below.

When Mamushi attacked Konoha, Boruto had a chance to prove himself and earn the village’s respect, much like his father, Naruto. Naruto was initially seen as a threat because of the Nine-Tailed Fox, but saving Konoha from Pain changed everything and set him on the path to becoming Hokage. This attack presented a similar opportunity for Boruto to become a hero and change his reputation. However, the story took an unexpected turn, with Inojin stepping up to defend the village instead of Boruto.

The 2017 attempt to revive The Mummy failed with critics and audiences, but the 2026 reboot from Blumhouse, directed by Lee Cronin, has been more successful. Cronin’s The Mummy shifts the focus to horror and possession, telling the story of a family whose daughter is discovered alive – but clearly unwell – inside a sarcophagus after a plane crash. While the movie’s intense and violent horror is reminiscent of Cronin’s 2023 film Evil Dead Rise, the plot shares even more similarities with his 2019 breakout hit, The Hole in the Ground.

I’m a big fan of fantasy and video games, especially those with swords or magic, so I’ve been watching the online gaming world closely. It’s always surprised me that some of the most popular fantasy stories don’t have their own online games where fans can play together. However, since many existing online games are struggling to stay popular, maybe it’s a good thing those brands haven’t jumped in – at least, not for now.

Funko Pop! figures combining the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles with monsters from the Godzilla universe are now available for pre-order at Entertainment Earth. These figures are packed with intricate details that fans of both franchises will love!

The game’s quirky, over-the-top humor often feels like something straight out of an Adult Swim show, particularly in its live-action segments. These appear as commercials within the game’s base, and they’re wonderfully bizarre. Expect low-budget effects, intentionally bad costumes, and a loud, obnoxious style reminiscent of 1990s commercials. You’ll see ads for messy burgers, an irritating influencer program, a confusing financial scheme hosted by a wildly energetic and inappropriately dressed presenter, and a long-running parody of games that constantly add new content. While not every joke lands perfectly, the sheer absurdity is captivating. Raccoon Logic really committed to this unique style, giving the game a distinctive and memorable personality.

The newest game in the classic PlayStation 1 series, originally launched in 1998, will be available worldwide on August 26th.
