Ahead of the Season 3 premiere of *Smiling Friends* in a few weeks, Adult Swim has released a new trailer. It shows the titles of each episode and gives a sneak peek at what will happen in them. You can watch the trailer below and get a quick rundown of what to expect when the next batch of hilariously chaotic episodes arrive soon.
James Gunn recently discussed how the final episodes of *Peacemaker* Season 2 will fit into the new DC Universe during an interview on *The Ringer-Verse* podcast. He explained that he wants each project to be enjoyable on its own, without requiring viewers to watch previous content. However, he emphasized that Episode 8 of *Peacemaker* is particularly important for understanding the upcoming *Man of Tomorrow* project.
I’m talking about *X-Men Legends 2: Apocalypse*, released back in 2005. While *X-Men Origins: Wolverine* offered a decent tie-in game in 2009, it focused more on Wolverine himself than on the X-Men as a team. It’s been a long time since a game truly captured what X-Men fans are looking for. Let’s revisit what made *X-Men Legends 2: Apocalypse* so great, and perhaps remind developers what we’d like to see in a future X-Men game.
A life-sized coffin featuring Soichi, a famous character from Junji Ito’s horror manga, has been created for the Junji Ito store in Japan. Soichi is known for causing trouble, and this coffin recreates a key scene from Ito’s story “Coffin Tub,” where the character appears as a vampire. The coffin’s lid specifically depicts this frightening image. The official store describes this new item as a major reveal.
The model and the star of *F1: The Movie* seemed to be getting back together almost two years after splitting up. They were spotted on a trip to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico on September 18th.
The horror film *Terrifier 3* is now available to stream on Peacock as of September 1st. It continues the story of Art the Clown, Sienna Shaw, and Jonathan Shaw, picking up where *Terrifier 2* left off, but this time set during Christmastime. The movie has earned a “Certified Fresh” rating on Rotten Tomatoes with a 78% approval score from critics, and it was a huge financial success in 2024. *Terrifier 3* grossed $90.3 million worldwide on a budget of just $2 million, making it the most profitable installment in the *Terrifier* series and the highest-grossing unrated film ever.
I’m really enjoying the new *LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy – Pieces of the Past* show! Even though it’s not official Star Wars canon, it’s surprisingly good, especially for Padmé. The show takes place in a different galaxy, which lets them do things with her character that just wouldn’t be possible otherwise. It’s so cool to see her as a Pirate Queen, teaming up with C-3PO and R2-D2! What I love most is that even in this alternate reality, she still has that strong moral compass and wants to do the right thing. It’s led her to fight this new bad guy, Solitus, and it’s amazing because it brings her together with Vader – who isn’t a Sith Lord in this version – and lets her finally meet Luke and Leia and discover they’re her kids! It’s a really heartwarming and exciting twist.
With so many fantastic Justice League stories, compelling Batman series, and essential Absolute editions, it’s easy to overlook some great comics. Reading everything can be costly, and when the quality is consistently high, you don’t want to fall behind on titles you already enjoy. Today, we’re highlighting five series you might be missing out on, but really should check out.
In a recent interview with GameFile, studio head Brian Fleming revealed the sequel’s development budget is comparable to the original Ghost of Tsushima. Considering the first game cost approximately $60 million to create, the follow-up likely had a similar cost.
It’s disappointing that many superhero movies don’t consistently portray established characters. Often, sequels disregard details and rules that were previously set, leading to significant changes in a hero’s powers, personality, or backstory. This inconsistency is a recurring problem, and filmmakers seem unable to settle on a definitive way to adapt these characters for the screen.
