A Sonic the Hedgehog fan site noticed a new trademark filing in Japan that includes a wide range of products, including clothing, toys, and even computer software. This has excited fans, who speculate it hints at a new project. While SEGA hasn’t officially announced anything, the timing seems significant, especially given the popularity of recent titles like *Sonic × Shadow Generations* and Keanu Reeves voicing Shadow in *Sonic the Hedgehog 3*. Many believe this signals a major focus on the character Shadow, often called the “Ultimate Lifeform.”

I went into *Honey Don’t!* with a lot of curiosity, because reviews were all over the place, and I finally got to check it out with my Peacock subscription. Honestly, it’s a really clever dark comedy, and the cast – Margaret Qualley, Aubrey Plaza, and Chris Evans are all fantastic. But having grown up with *The Naked Gun* and its constant slapstick, I kept waiting for the movie to lean into that kind of over-the-top silliness, which never quite happened, even though it felt like a Coen brothers film.

Cipher’s actions – experimenting on others and imprisoning them – make it hard to see him as a hero. But his strange focus on Marie and her abilities suggests a hidden, possibly treacherous, plot. Fans are now speculating about his ultimate goal and how Marie fits into his plans.

At New York Comic Con, Simu Liu shared his reaction to being asked to join the cast of *Avengers: Doomsday*. He initially joked that it was long overdue, then explained how meaningful it was to him to be able to continue his role as Shang-Chi within the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

While many episodes of *Star Trek: Voyager* are fondly remembered, not all of them are great. This list will cover both the best and worst episodes—the disappointing, frustrating, and even truly awful ones—but ultimately, they’re all worth watching for any science fiction enthusiast.

While Jimmy Kimmel was suspended, news emerged that Disney CEO Bob Iger and Disney Entertainment Co-Chairman Dana Walden were involved in the situation. Kimmel later spoke at Bloomberg’s Screentime Conference, where he described what happened right after his show was temporarily taken off the air. He admitted being surprised by the network’s decision but expressed gratitude for the conversations he had with his employers, particularly Dana Walden.

James Gunn has emphasized how crucial the ending of *Peacemaker* Season 2 and the introduction of Salvation are for the future of the DC Universe, explaining that these elements will continue to play a role in projects like *Man of Tomorrow* and beyond. With Salvation established as a metahuman prison, it opens up many possibilities for new stories, and Gunn recently shared which three characters will be most central to those narratives.

According to FlixPatrol, as of October 10, 2025, *The Martian* is currently the seventh most popular movie on Netflix in the United States. The film has been performing well, entering the top ten at number ten on October 6th, then climbing to seventh on October 7th and fifth on October 9th. It’s competing with other popular movies like the film at number four, Jim Carrey’s *The Mask* at number six, and *Casper* at number eight. *The Martian* stars Matt Damon as an astronaut fighting for survival after being stranded on Mars during a mission.

As a huge Star Wars fan, I’ve been keeping up with everything Disney+ has been releasing – from the gritty Andor to the fun of LEGO Star Wars. But I’m especially excited about Star Wars: Visions! The third season is officially hitting the streaming service on October 29, 2025. What’s really cool is that it’s not just introducing brand new stories, but also building on characters and plotlines we started to see in the first two seasons of this fantastic anime series. It’s a great time to be a Star Wars fan!

The current arc of *Demon Slayer* marks the story’s climax, with the highest levels of danger yet. Some viewers have noticed that Tanjiro primarily focuses on fighting in this part of the anime, and doesn’t show his usual compassion towards his opponents. While there are likely explanations within the story for this change, it unfortunately makes Tanjiro feel less like the well-rounded character fans have come to know, and more like a typical action hero.
