Okay, so I’m really excited – Season 5 of The Boys drops on April 8th, and the early reviews are amazing.

I recently watched The Boogeyman, and it really got to me! It’s based on a Stephen King story, and follows a therapist and his daughters who are dealing with a terrible loss.

Apparently, one part was so scary during test screenings they had to change it before it came out in theaters in 2023! Now, thankfully, it’s available to stream on Hulu since April 5th, so you can experience the chills too.

Japanese YouTuber umedajapan recently shared details about two early versions of the character Victor Gideon that didn’t make it into the final game.

Artificial intelligence has been a game-changer for many industries, but it’s especially impacting video games, which are entirely digital.

The new anime coming out in 2025 truly delivers on its promise. The six nominated series were chosen for a reason – each one offers something different and challenges what we usually expect from anime. The list features popular titles like The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity, which is sure to be a romance favorite, and exciting shonen series like Sakamoto Days and Gachiakuta, both offering a fresh perspective. The Summer Hikaru Died and Cleavtes also earned their nominations with their unique and original ideas. However, Takopi’s Original Sin is the clear standout – it’s in a league of its own.
