Four months ago, the first big story arc of the series ended. Detective John Jones and his psychic partner, the Martian, had a major fight with the White Martian – the Martian’s complete opposite. They fought the White Martian and the people it had taken over, and John was able to connect with his feelings, which helped the Martian fight back using powerful empathy. However, despite everything, the White Martian survived by secretly taking over the body of John’s son, Tyler.

Most Netflix subscribers don’t watch all the shows and movies available each month, so a lot of great content goes unnoticed. This December, Netflix is removing a surprisingly large number of popular sci-fi films, so if you’re a fan, be sure to watch these 11 movies before they’re gone.

Simu Liu, known for his role in Marvel films, recently shared his excitement about working on Doomsday in an interview with ComicBook. He especially enjoyed the chance to collaborate with two actors he’s admired since childhood. While initially hesitant to reveal their names, he eventually confessed that getting to act alongside Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart was a dream come true, describing them as his “childhood heroes” and “legends” who made him feel like a fan all over again.

The movie Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods became available on Netflix on December 16th, giving subscribers a chance to see the film that revived the Dragon Ball Z series. Although it wasn’t called Dragon Ball Super, it connected the end of Dragon Ball Z to the beginning of the new series. Netflix reports that the Toei Animation film ranked sixth in its “Top 10 Non-English Movies” list from December 15th to December 21st, earning 1.8 million views and proving that fans are still eager to experience Son Goku’s adventures.

According to a recent report from Rebs Gaming, plans are in the works to remake not only the original Halo: Combat Evolved, but also Halo 2 and Halo 3. While the first remake isn’t expected until after 2026, it seems Halo Studios aims to bring the entire trilogy up to modern standards. It’s important to remember that this information is currently unconfirmed, and there are no details yet about whether the Halo 2 and Halo 3 remakes will include multiplayer.

DC Comics released some truly outstanding stories this year, making it tough to choose the very best. They’ve consistently delivered for fans, and 2025 was a fantastic year for the publisher. While 2026 promises more great content, let’s celebrate the highlights of the past year. Here are ten essential DC Comics stories from 2025 that you won’t want to miss. (Just a note: DC K.O. is excellent too, but since it concludes in 2026, we’ve saved it for a future list – definitely check it out when it’s finished!)

As a long-time fan, it’s amazing to look back at the tradition of Doctor Who Christmas and New Year specials. So far, there have been 25 festive episodes, and a whopping 20 of those have aired since the show came back in 2005. Even better, we already know there’s a special planned for 2026! With the future of Doctor Who secured, I’m really looking forward to seeing many more Doctors tackling holiday adventures and adding to the show’s incredible 62-year history of brilliant Christmas and New Year stories.

Hollow Knight: Silksong was a huge hit in 2025, and it looks fantastic on the Steam Deck. The game’s beautiful art style really shines on the handheld’s screen, especially because it’s designed to perfectly fit the Steam Deck’s resolution. It’s visually stunning, though players might find themselves needing to recharge frequently! Even without the Steam Deck’s native support, Silksong would likely look great – it’s a well-made game that has rightfully earned numerous awards and nominations.

The most successful Pokémon spin-off games aren’t just unique – they cleverly reimagine the classic Pokémon world, its creatures, and gameplay, all while staying true to what makes Pokémon special. These fan-favorite games honor the original series but aren’t afraid to experiment in ways the main games often don’t. They’ve left a lasting impact on players and have even subtly shaped the direction of future Pokémon games. Here’s a look at the five best Pokémon spin-off series of all time.

As a critic, I’m sad to report that Evil is leaving Netflix at the end of the year. The first three seasons – a really compelling supernatural drama created by Robert and Michelle King, and starring Katja Herbers, Mike Colter, and Aasif Mandvi as a team investigating strange occurrences for the Catholic Church – have been available since last December. While the show recently concluded its run in February 2024, fans shouldn’t expect the fourth and final season to appear on the platform. Sadly, all 36 episodes of the currently streaming seasons will be gone on December 31st.
