Following his loss in the Siege of Mandalore (as depicted in Star Wars: The Clone Wars), Maul is attempting to establish a new criminal organization. As a new Empire rises, he becomes increasingly frustrated with a galaxy that feels lost and purposeless—a situation he believes is orchestrated by his former master, who no longer needs him. The animated series brilliantly portrays Maul’s rage, and his lightsaber serves as a central symbol of it.

I’m really enjoying watching Coco learn about magic, and in Episode 4 of Witch Hat Atelier, titled “Meetings in Kalhn,” she gets to pick out her very own wand with Qifrey’s help! Things have calmed down a bit after all the excitement with the Dadah Range, so we’re finally getting a good look at how magic actually works in this world. But I have a feeling this trip to get a wand might turn into something more than just a simple shopping outing.

DC Comics has featured several live-action Green Lanterns, and each version has had a different look for the power rings. Now, James Gunn’s new DC Universe is introducing a fresh set of unique rings, adding even more variety to the Green Lanterns’ iconic gear.

The Pusher trilogy offers a gritty look at Copenhagen’s drug trade, following a different dealer in each film. These aren’t just criminals; they’re also struggling with addiction themselves, which is a central theme. Like The Godfather, the films become increasingly intense as the series progresses. While each movie tells a complete story, the impact is greater if you watch them in order.

Phase Three of the Marvel Cinematic Universe was a huge success, delivering a string of popular and memorable films that will likely be remembered as a high point in movie history. Endgame felt like a fitting conclusion, especially with the definitive endings for Iron Man and Captain America. However, Phase Four was more inconsistent, and by Phase Five, the quality seemed to swing wildly between being a failure and a comeback.

Just a few weeks ago, the studio dropped some initial peeks at the next movie, and now they’re back with even more! This time, it’s actual footage from the third and final film in the series, which is currently set to hit theaters worldwide on June 18, 2027 – honestly, I’m really hoping that release date stays firm!
