In 2019, Disney had an impressive eight films earn over $1 billion at the box office. However, in the following six years, including the disruption of the Covid-19 pandemic, only six Disney movies reached that milestone, with three of those successes happening just this year. While it’s taken some time for Disney to regain its momentum – and they’ve had some misses along the way – the three big hits of 2024 prove that when Disney delivers, it really excels.

I’m a huge fan of Mike Judge – the guy behind classics like Beavis and Butt-Head, King of the Hill, and Office Space. He directed Idiocracy, which he wrote with Etan Cohen, and honestly, it’s become one of my all-time favorites! It didn’t do great in theaters originally, only making around $495,000, but it’s really found its audience over the years thanks to DVD and streaming. If you haven’t seen it, or want to rewatch, you have until December 28th – that’s when it’s leaving Netflix. Seriously, don’t miss it!

Even before its release, The Odyssey is sparking debate among fans, with discussions focusing on the actors, costumes, and the specific ancient Greek text Christopher Nolan used as inspiration. Beyond these initial reactions, the story itself is likely to evoke strong feelings. The film retells the epic journey of Odysseus, a Greek king, as he struggles to return home to his wife after a decade-long voyage filled with challenges from both gods and humans.

I’m a huge fan of Kulipari, and it’s a bit complicated because it’s technically three separate shows! The first two, Kulipari: An Army of Frogs and Kulipari: Dream Walker, you can find on Netflix. Sadly, Netflix didn’t continue the series, but Hulu stepped in to finish the story with a shorter season called Kulipari: A King Rises. If you’re looking for something to really dive into, all three seasons together are about nine and a half hours long – perfect for a weekend binge!

A short preview for the upcoming Malcolm in the Middle revival, titled Life’s Still Unfair, recently dropped, confirming it will be available to stream on Hulu in 2026. The teaser playfully references the memorable scene of Hal getting his back shaved. Bryan Cranston posted the video on Instagram, joking in the caption that “Some things never change.” You can watch the preview below.

You can now watch The Grey for free on Pluto TV! This 2011 action thriller stars Liam Neeson as Ottway, a wolf hunter who’s part of a group of oil workers stranded in the Alaskan wilderness after a plane crash. He must lead the seven other survivors to safety while being pursued by a pack of wolves. While it features Neeson, The Grey is a slower, more suspenseful film than his Taken movies – it’s similar in tone to A Walk Among the Tombstones. The film also stars Frank Grillo, Dermot Mulroney, Dallas Roberts, and Joe Anderson, and was directed by Joe Carnahan. It’s one of over 200 movies recently added to Pluto TV’s free streaming library.

In the fourth episode of Landman season 2, Cami asked Gallino for financial help to rebuild the offshore gas rig owned by M-Tex. Gallino, also known as Danny Morrell, had met Cami in the previous episode and persuaded her he’d be a good business partner. Despite initially appearing as though he intended to take advantage of Cami, Gallino ultimately decided he only wanted to work with Tommy – and this is the reason why.

Some games hint at what they’ll show at The Game Awards beforehand, like the new trailer for Exodus. However, the biggest announcements are usually surprises. It’s unlikely all ten of the following predictions will happen, but each one could be a major event.

Sherlock Holmes is famous for his brilliant detective work and his close friendship with Dr. John Watson. But what truly captivates readers is how boldly unconventional Conan Doyle made the character. Holmes’s behavior and backstory often seem eccentric, particularly by today’s standards, and the details surrounding him have grown increasingly rich and complex over the years.

Cryogenically freezing people after death is a popular trope in science fiction, but it’s rarely done in reality. A long-standing rumor claimed Walt Disney was frozen after his death, but that proved false. Recently, Simon Cowell discussed his own interest in cryopreservation with The New York Times. What was more surprising was not that he initially wanted to be frozen, but why he ultimately changed his mind.
