I first heard from the reliable insider Cryptic4KQual that the new Moana trailer was going to be shown with screenings of Hoppers in cinemas. Apparently, it was meant to be a limited theatrical run – just for a few days – before being released online. I was really excited to hear that, as it meant a special experience for those who went to see it in theaters!
Similar to the beginning of season 1, Alvida (played by Ilia Isorelýs Paulino) unexpectedly appears in the season 2 premiere, interrupting Luffy’s progress in Loguetown. However, she’s prepared this time. Luffy can’t simply rely on being unexpected or stretching his abilities, as Alvida now understands his powers and has strategies to make their fight much more challenging.
At the 2026 Saturn Awards, Andy Muschietti, co-creator and executive producer of It: Welcome to Derry, gave fans a positive update about the show’s second season. The series had just won the award for Best Horror Television Series, surpassing nominees like The Last of Us and The Institute, another show based on a Stephen King story.
Watching Dragon Ball, it’s clear power levels are always shifting and depend on the situation. Because of this, I’ve noticed some villains who seemed really powerful at the time and gave Goku and his friends a tough fight, but when you look at the bigger picture, they weren’t actually that strong. Here are a few examples of characters who felt underwhelming despite momentarily humbling our heroes.
Lauren Purnell has consistently played compelling characters. In Yellowjackets, she portrayed a teenager who stayed true to her values even in extreme circumstances, and in Fallout, her character Lucy is inspiring, though her protected upbringing sometimes makes her a bit innocent. Her new Starz series shows a different side of Purnell, as she plays a character driven to revenge after being pushed to her limits. The show’s title, Sweetpea, is ironic because it’s a belittling nickname given to her by her boss.
Although there weren’t as many episodes originally, ’80s Saturday morning cartoons were shown repeatedly in reruns for years. This means many kids who grew up in the ’90s and early 2000s still remember them. Now that Generation X is becoming grandparents, watching those cartoons can be a nostalgic experience, bringing back happy memories.
Vince Gilligan, the creative force behind the popular Apple TV science-fiction series, is also known for creating and running Breaking Bad, where Bob Odenkirk became famous for his role as the lawyer Saul Goodman. Odenkirk later returned to the character in Better Call Saul, a Breaking Bad prequel co-created by Gilligan, who also served as co-showrunner for its first three seasons. Rhea Seehorn, who starred alongside Odenkirk as lawyer Kim Wexler in Better Call Saul, now takes on the lead role of Carol Sturka in Pluribus.
What really makes Hoppers special is the relationship between the main character and King George, who’s basically the leader of all the animals. It’s a cool contrast to how she clashes with the town mayor. At first, Jerry seems like the bad guy, but then this other threat emerges – the Insect King, Titus. It’s satisfying to see Titus get what he deserves by the end of the movie, though honestly, it’s a little frustrating that Jerry never faces any consequences for his actions.
Netflix has a huge number of thriller shows, but they aren’t all good. Some are genuinely suspenseful, while others quickly reveal all their secrets and become predictable. It’s easy to spot the difference. The eight shows listed here are among the best – they start strong with compelling first episodes and maintain a consistently rising level of tension throughout the entire season.
As a movie fan, I’ve been so impressed with the incredible performances we’ve seen lately – actors like Cillian Murphy and Saoirse Ronan, who didn’t always get the spotlight they deserved, have really shone in some amazing dramas. And honestly, 2025 was a year where films that weren’t the usual blockbusters really took off, and some of the typical crowd-pleasers didn’t do as well. It’s fantastic! Trying to pick the best thrillers of the year feels impossible because there were so many great ones.
