Stephen King, known for his frequent social media musings on various pop culture topics such as TV, music, and films, has voiced his support for the revival of Paramount+’s series “Evil.” The show, a blend of horror and thriller, featured Mike Colter from “Luke Cage,” and aired for four seasons on the platform before concluding on August 22nd. Notably, King isn’t the only one calling for more “Evil” – when shows are cancelled these days, it’s common to see petitions or even planes with messages – but it’s less typical to have an author whose books have inspired countless hours of movies and TV series advocating on behalf of a show.

Shonen Jump, known for its successful series, is preparing to introduce new stories as some popular ones are wrapping up. Recently, My Hero Academia concluded, and this month marks the end of Jujutsu Kaisen. In light of these closures, Shonen Jump is getting ready to debut fresh titles this fall, with one of the upcoming projects being a collaboration with the talented artist from Act-Age.

For years, Attack on Titan has kept fans guessing, and even in its hiatus, it continues to leave us in suspense. It’s been quite some time since the Attack on Titan manga ended, but not long ago we bid farewell to Eren’s story on screen. However, the impact of Attack on Titan remains strong, and a recent update from Japan indicates that the series will unveil a new project this month to celebrate the manga’s 15th anniversary.

In the final glimpse before its release, a chilling grin stained with blood graces the latest poster for “Smile 2”. This upcoming horror production from Paramount Pictures, having already established itself as a franchise, is set to unnerve audiences once more. Following the triumph of the 2022 film “Smile”, Paramount has given the green light for a sequel, which introduces fresh talents and welcomes back some familiar faces. Leading the cast for “Smile 2” is Naomi Scott. As its October premiere approaches, prepare to be spooked with this newly unveiled poster that guarantees goosebumps.

As a devoted gaming enthusiast, I find myself deeply saddened by the recent news that Rocksteady Studios has had to let go of some team members due to layoffs. Over the past two years, it seems like a trend has been emerging in the AAA development world, with industry giants such as Bungie, Electronic Arts, Activision, Riot Games, and Epic Games following suit. Tragically, other studios like Arkane Austin, Ready at Dawn, and Volition have even had to close their doors entirely. Now, Rocksteady has become the latest studio to face these challenges, likely due to the underperformance of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.

The newest addition to the Monster Jam series, titled “Monster Jam Showdown,” is set to launch on August 29th for PlayStation 4/5, Xbox Series S/X, Nintendo Switch, and PC. In this year’s Monster Jam, the focus lies primarily on its single-player Showdown mode, which encompasses a variety of event types, along with advancement and truck acquisition. The campaign mode in this game isn’t particularly deep, mainly offering an opportunity to try out different events. My main pleasure from playing “Monster Jam Showdown” stemmed from the realistic physics incorporated within its driving mechanics.
