Both film series faced challenges maintaining a clear direction over time. Sequels, reboots, and changes in style created a disjointed experience, leaving fans unsure about the future of each franchise. The Alien Vs.

Season 3 of Tulsa King had a change in leadership, with Dave Erickson taking over as showrunner. Terrance Winter, who previously held that role, will return as head writer and executive producer for Season 4, which Paramount+ has ordered.

The first four seasons of Stranger Things were very popular with audiences, earning scores of 85% or higher on Rotten Tomatoes. However, the latest episodes of Season 5 have received a lower rating of 66%. While this dip might seem concerning, it’s still a much better score than the final season of Game of Thrones, which only received 30%. This suggests the creators, the Duffer brothers, haven’t ruined the show despite the initial reaction to these new episodes – at least not yet.

I was so excited to see that both Ghost Rider and Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance are now available to stream on Tubi!

It’s great that I can watch these for free!
The best thrillers of 2025 took readers on exciting journeys, exploring everything from murder and kidnapping to shocking secrets within families. Here are our top five picks for the year’s most gripping reads.
Okay, so I’m really excited about this one! It’s hitting theaters on December 25th, 2025, and it’s directed and co-written by Tom Gormican, with a little help from Kevin Etten.

It’s rated PG-13, so expect some action, a bit of strong language, and maybe some mature themes. It’s about 99 minutes long, which feels like a good length for a fun movie night.
