Alongside new updates, the biggest surprise was a huge crossover with Neon Genesis Evangelion. Producer Naoki Yoshida announced that this crossover would be a multi-part “Alliance Raid” series, meaning fans would enjoy *Evathemed content for months to come. The announcement caused a massive reaction from the audience at the event in Anaheim, and it’s easy to see why.
I’ve been thinking about how much horror movies changed in the ’70s, and it’s fascinating. Films like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre weren’t just about scares; they felt like a direct reaction to the Vietnam War and the incredibly disturbing images we were seeing on the news every night – images that were actually more shocking than anything Hollywood could create. Suddenly, horror wasn’t just cheap thrills; it became a way to really say something about what was happening in the world. And, let’s be honest, films like The Exorcist proved it could be incredibly profitable too, turning horror into a major box office draw.
After a seven-year gap, a new Star Wars movie, The Mandalorian & Grogu, is hitting theaters next month. Some fans believe Star Wars peaked with the end of Andor and won’t reach those heights again. However, a lesser-known installment might surprise everyone and show that the franchise still has exciting stories to tell, especially as more people revisit it through streaming.
The world featured in these stories, originally released between 2000 and 2020, is an alternate Earth (Earth 10005) where the Avengers never existed, but mutants have become the dominant powered individuals. This reality reappeared in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the 2024 film Deadpool & Wolverine, showcasing a battle against Doctor Doom (played by Robert Downey Jr.). However, considering the established timeline of the X-Men films, the return of a particular mutant—one who was once a villain but later became a hero—doesn’t quite add up.
Most shows with as many characters as Demon Slayer usually have at least a few that fans dislike, but even characters like Zenitsu – who can be frustrating – have likable qualities. Surprisingly, even some of the demons from Demon Slayer gain fans after viewers learn about the difficult lives they experienced before becoming demons.
HBO Max announced that a new version of House of the Dragon with American Sign Language will be available on May 29, 2026. This is part of HBO’s ongoing commitment to making its popular shows, like the Game of Thrones prequel, more accessible with on-screen ASL.
After the debut of season 2 of Beef last week, Netflix has launched a bunch of new shows that are already gaining popularity. Some highlights include the K-drama Sold Out on You (currently #2 worldwide on Netflix), the documentary series Ronaldinho: The One and Only, Zach Galifianakis’s comedy This Is a Gardening Show, and Kevin Hart’s competition show Funny AF. However, Running Point, Stranger Things: Tales From ’85, and Unchosen are predicted to be the most popular and binge-worthy series on the platform.
Some Netflix shows, such as the often-overlooked sci-fi series Pacific Rim: The Black, are actually improved by watching them at a more relaxed pace. While Netflix usually divides its most popular shows into multiple volumes, how viewers choose to watch each series is up to them. For one particular, costly sci-fi show, splitting the season may have been a mistake – it’s much more effective when experienced as one long movie rather than individual episodes.
I’m really hooked on Season 1! It looks like Isla, played by Kate Hudson, is going to be caught in a complicated love triangle with her fiancé, Lev, and her former coach, Jay. But what I find fascinating is that it’s not just about who she chooses. It seems like she’s really figuring out what she truly needs versus what she simply wants, and that’s driving the whole story.
The release of Beyond the Spider-Verse has been delayed several times to allow the filmmakers to finish the story properly. Across the Spider-Verse was incredibly innovative in its storytelling and visuals, so the next film needs to be even more ambitious and groundbreaking to achieve the same level of success.
