Jesse Palmer Breaks Silence on Mel Owens’ Ageist Comments: ‘I’ve Seen the Headlines’

In a recent podcast discussion in June, ABC’s Golden Bachelor Mel Owens (shown above) has faced criticism for his comments.

10 Most Popular Sailor Moon Fanfics on AO3, Ranked: Dive into the Best Stories

In my opinion, what truly sets exceptional Sailor Moon fanfictions apart is their ability to delve deeper into the emotional depth of Usagi’s relationship with Mamoru (Tuxedo Mask), adding layers of complexity and growth that the original series merely hinted at.

Only 1 MCU Movie Has Beaten Venom’s Box Office Record Since 2022

Indeed, the initial release of Venom stands strong against modern superhero films, especially when it comes to box office performance. Although some Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) movies have surpassed Venom’s earnings, many recent entries within the MCU haven’t managed that feat, making Venom’s past successes more captivating and intriguing than ever before.

Black Clover Finally Sets a Date for Its Big Return

In the heart of this Spring season, chapters 379 and 380 dropped a thrilling punch, finding me squarely in the midst of Asta and Yuno’s fierce battle against Lucius.

As chapter 380 closed, it left us hanging on the edge of our seats with Yuno’s stunning new transformation, blending Magic and Anti-Magic in an unexpected twist that only deepened the mystery. The manga is gearing up for its Summer 2025 release, and I can hardly contain my excitement for all the amazing moments Black Clover fans have in store!

However, this doesn’t mean that the Pokémon Company will cease creating new games; instead, it suggests a potential shift in fan enthusiasm.

Poll: Vote for Your PS5 Game of the Month (June 2025)

To suggest that June was of poor quality would not accurately reflect its merits. For instance, the soccer simulator game Rematch – developed by Sifu studio SloClap – turned out to be surprisingly captivating.
