Things haven’t always been this way; traditional TV networks used to take more risks with the shows they approved. Shows like ABC’s Lost, Fox’s The X-Files, and NBC’s The Good Place were known for their intriguing mysteries. But ten years ago, NBC combined that style with family drama in This Is Us. Created by Dan Fogelman, the show followed the Pearson family – Jack and Rebecca, and their three children, Kevin, Kate, and Randall – all born on the same day. The story spanned decades, from the parents’ beginnings to the end of their lives, and the non-linear storytelling created many mysteries that kept audiences hooked.

Netflix’s animated movie, Swapped, is a huge hit! Released on May 1st, it quickly became the fastest animated film on the platform to reach 100 million views. For the past five weeks, since its release, Swapped has consistently ranked among the top 10 most-watched movies worldwide on Netflix.

A reliable source, Billbill_Kun, has revealed that Atari is planning a remastered version of Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee for 2026. This fighting game was originally released in 2002 exclusively for the Nintendo GameCube. It’s important not to confuse this with the Game Boy Advance game, Godzilla: Domination, or its 2004 sequel, Godzilla: Save the Earth, which was released on PlayStation 2 and the original Xbox. Interestingly, the original Xbox is the only console to have received both Godzilla games, as it also got the first game in 2003.

After a thirteen-year hiatus, Scary Movie 6 marks the return of the spoof series. The latest film playfully mocks recent horror hits like Scream, Get Out, Terrifier, and Longlegs, and even includes a funny nod to the animated group KPop Demon Hunters. In a drug-induced hallucination, Marlon Wayans’ character, Shorty, meets a cartoonish trio resembling the band. This segment is entirely animated and parodies their popular song “Golden” with a version called “Tokin’.” Though brief, this crossover shows that Scary Movie isn’t afraid to poke fun at any popular franchise, regardless of genre.

Since it was released, KPop Demon Hunters has been a huge hit for Netflix, becoming one of the year’s biggest movies in 2025. Because of this success, Netflix and Sony Pictures Animation are planning to build on the film’s world with several new projects. A sequel, KPop Demon Hunters 2, is already in the works, along with a live tour, a stage musical, a third movie, and even a TV series. Netflix is clearly investing in the KPop Demon Hunters brand, and they should consider expanding other popular films in the same way.

As a huge X-Men fan, I’ve noticed something interesting over the years. There are always a few core members, but some characters pop up, become really popular, and then… vanish! They bring this special something – that cool, mysterious vibe – to whatever X-Men storyline they’re in (seriously, I love how they can just tack an ‘X’ onto anything and it works!). There are seven X-Men in particular that I’d be thrilled to see make a comeback. It would give the writers so many fresh options and new stories to tell!

It’s common to say a book is better than its movie adaptation, and often that’s true – especially when the changes are significant. However, movies can successfully adapt books even with substantial differences, and sometimes those changes can even result in a fantastic, even classic, film. Our list suggests that altering a book for a movie isn’t necessarily a bad thing – it might be the key to creating something truly special.

I recently checked out a show called What’s In the Box, and it was hosted by the incredibly talented Neil Patrick Harris. The premise was pretty cool – eight couples went head-to-head in a quick-fire trivia battle, all for the chance to open these huge, golden boxes. Each box held a potentially amazing prize, and the last couple standing could win over a quarter of a million dollars! It originally aired in December 2025, but sadly, it never really took off on the platform’s most-watched list, which I guess is why it was cancelled. It was a fun concept, though!

It’s easy to see why the original Star Wars trilogy is so popular. It’s universally loved, the foundation for everything that followed, and many consider it the best movie trilogy ever made. Characters like Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Princess Leia, and Darth Vader have become iconic figures in our culture. Interestingly, the newest Star Wars story, The Mandalorian and Grogu, is the first to not feature any of these classic heroes.

The Pokémon Company recently showed off more card designs for the Japanese version of the Pokémon TCG: 30th Celebration set, as reported by Poke Beach. While we haven’t seen English versions of the cards yet, the worldwide release gives us a good look at what to expect – including some amazing futuristic Pikachu rares and beautiful full-art cards featuring Espeon and Umbreon. As a big Eevee fan, I’m even more excited about this set, but also worried about how expensive they might become due to scalpers.
