Saint Slayer: Spear of Sacrilege is clearly inspired by the classic NES game from Konami released in 1987, and it mostly succeeds as a fun and engaging action platformer, featuring enjoyable combat and clever level design.
Just how strong is Doctor Doom, and what allows him to achieve so much? Examining the comics, Doctor Doom and Thor have only directly battled a few times. This is because Doom is a clever strategist who recognizes Asgardians are generally more powerful than he is. He’s noted that while superpowered individuals have abilities, Asgardians are power itself. So, what’s allowing him to accomplish this in the Marvel Cinematic Universe?
A particularly funny moment happened 18 years ago in the David Tennant episode, “The Fires of Pompeii.” In this episode, the Doctor and Donna Noble traveled to ancient Rome and discovered what really caused the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. During their adventure, they also encountered two characters who would later become significant to the show, including one who would eventually become a Doctor himself.
Good news for animation fans! Studio Ghibli announced that seven of its most popular movies will be shown in North American theaters this year. This is part of the annual Studio Ghibli Fest, which brings the studio’s beloved films back to the big screen. Here’s how Studio Ghibli describes the event:

Besides the shows already mentioned, Game of Thrones truly stands out, especially as it approaches its 15th anniversary.

Considering its complicated and incomplete source material, large cast, detailed fantasy setting, and elements like dragons and the White Walkers, it’s remarkable that the show succeeded at all.
The series Ozark centered on Marty Byrde, an accountant played by Jason Bateman, who moved his family to the Ozarks to launder money for a drug cartel. As the show went on, Marty got caught up in local criminal conflicts, making the story increasingly intense. While Ozark ended in 2022, Apple TV+’s Your Friends and Neighbors is a great show to watch next if you enjoyed it. It’s part of a trend of crime dramas featuring seemingly normal suburban dads who become involved in criminal activity, and stars Jon Hamm as a hedge fund manager named Coop.
Recent Godzilla games have improved in quality, but using Godzilla in games has become more difficult due to stricter copyright rules. This means official, licensed Godzilla games are now uncommon, and most appearances are in older titles.
