Critics weren’t kind to Ralph Bakshi’s 1992 film Cool World, calling it everything from “surprisingly incompetent” to “weirdo cartoon diarrhea.” Starring Brad Pitt as a tough detective navigating a cartoon universe, the movie initially received very poor reviews and remains his lowest-rated film. However, over time, it’s gained a following as a bizarre cult classic. The story centers on a cartoonist lured into his own creation, Cool World, by a seductive animated character who wants to become human. Brad Pitt’s character, Detective Frank Harris, must then prevent her from obliterating both worlds.

Although The Acolyte wouldn’t primarily explore the political side of the Star Wars universe, it would have focused on a character’s potential turn to the dark side. It would have built upon the unfinished stories of characters like Ben Solo and Rey from the sequel trilogy, creating something fresh and original—something that apparently worried Disney. The show would have presented the Jedi not as the heroes we typically see, but as a powerful, unchecked system—almost like a delusional cult—masquerading as a religion.

For those familiar with the series, this Kunimitsu is the daughter of the original character, known as Kunimitsu II. She initially appeared as downloadable content in Tekken 7 and is now featured as the first character in the game’s latest Character Pass.

During the week of April 20th to 26th, the movie Him reached number 7 on Netflix in the U.S., right after the new film Thrash. This marked the first time Him appeared in Netflix’s top 10.

Mike Flanagan’s new Prime Video series, Carrie, will be the third adaptation of Stephen King’s 1974 novel about a shy, bullied teenager who gets revenge on her tormentors at the prom. King’s Carrie remains a popular book, and while the 1976 film directed by Brian De Palma is a classic, the 2013 remake wasn’t as well-received. That’s why fans are thrilled to hear that the 2026 miniseries will once again bring Flanagan together with frequent collaborator Kate Siegel.

Warner Bros. Discovery is partnering with D20 Culture to create a roleplaying game called Justice League Unlimited: The Roleplaying Game. Based on the popular Justice League Unlimited comic series – known for featuring a huge cast of DC superheroes – the game lets you play as established heroes or design your own. Excitingly, Mark Waid, a writer for the Justice League Unlimited comics, is co-authoring the game, and it will be available to support on Gamefound this July.

Using flashbacks has worked well to grow The Big Bang Theory, but Stuart Fails to Save the Universe—which focuses on characters from the original series—is especially appealing to longtime fans, and could even bring back some familiar faces from Pasadena. While the sequel wouldn’t have been possible without The Big Bang Theory, one weakness of the original show has become a major issue for the spinoff: it didn’t build strong relationships between the main characters of the new series.

As a huge cinema fan, I’ve always been fascinated by DC villains – especially the ones who seem unassuming at first. You know, the ones who don’t look like they could pose a real threat? But then they go and defeat some of the most powerful heroes, becoming truly legendary! I’ve been thinking about it, and there are seven villains in particular who are way more powerful than anyone gives them credit for – they can take down the best of them with surprising ease.

The recently released open-world RPG, NTE: Neverness to Everness from Hotta Studio and Perfect Entertainment, is primarily a PlayStation 5 exclusive. While it’s also available on PC and mobile, those versions came after the console release. Since the free-to-play game doesn’t have a Metacritic score yet, we’re relying on player reviews from the PlayStation Store to get an idea of how good it is. Based on those reviews and the game’s growing popularity, it seems to be receiving positive feedback.

If you’re a fan of the game and playing through Carcosa, you might want to customize your avatar to match! Sony has released a few free avatar options based on the game, so you can get them right now.
