According to Variety, the children’s cartoon Bluey was the most-streamed show in the U.S. in 2025, beating out all other programs – even those aimed at adults and including films. You might be surprised by this news – Bluey is designed for kids and often watched repeatedly – but its main competitors were popular shows like Grey’s Anatomy, Stranger Things, and NCIS. This demonstrates that having a younger audience doesn’t automatically mean a show will be the most popular.

While the recent Wicked movie musical didn’t perform as well as the first one, either critically or financially, Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande both delivered excellent performances as Elphaba and Glinda. Given the huge success of the first film – it received 10 Oscar nominations, including Best Picture – many anticipated that the Academy would at least recognize the sequel with some awards.

HBO Chairman Casey Bloys responded to George R.R. Martin’s statement about a strained relationship with ‘House of the Dragon’ co-creator Ryan Condal, jokingly comparing the situation to family disagreements that are usually kept private. Bloys confirmed Martin initially brought Condal to HBO and praised him as a strong showrunner and valuable collaborator.

The anime film 5 Centimeters Per Second became available on Netflix in September 2024, but it will only remain there until March 1, 2026. Currently, Netflix is the only streaming service in the United States where you can watch it.

In Season 1, Episode 3, titled “The Squire,” Egg performs a song detailing the First Blackfyre Rebellion, though the show simply refers to it as the “Blackfyre Rebellion” since the second one hasn’t occurred yet. The song recounts the story of his father and uncle, who fought against Daemon I Blackfyre, the illegitimate half-brother of their King, Daeron II. This rebellion helps explain the tense relationship between Baelor and Maekar, and future episodes in A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms will explore the consequences faced by those who supported Daemon Blackfyre.

The 2014 Tom Cruise movie is still one of the most enjoyable sci-fi films around, largely because of its clever and entertaining use of time travel.

Great comedy movies aren’t just funny – they’re carefully crafted, expertly blending timing, acting, and writing. They also feel fresh and unpredictable. These films show that comedy can be as meaningful and beautifully made as serious dramas. While everyone has their favorites, a few comedies consistently shine due to their impact, how enjoyable they are to watch again and again, and their overall brilliance.

The movie didn’t live up to the excitement surrounding its source material—it was a major financial disappointment for Disney, despite being heavily promoted. While many comic book adaptations are common now, films like The Rocketeer were pioneers, proving that these kinds of stories could work on the big screen, even when it wasn’t easy.

For a while, people have been speculating that Marvel might debut a trailer for one of its new movies during the Super Bowl’s popular commercial slots. Past Super Bowls have seen big Marvel trailer drops, like the record-breaking one for Deadpool & Wolverine. But recent reports suggest we won’t see any Marvel Cinematic Universe trailers during the game this year.

While many classic cartoons are fondly remembered, SpongeBob SquarePants remains consistently popular. It’s common for people who loved shows from Nickelodeon’s peak to want to rewatch them, but surprisingly, it’s often hard to do so.
