Burger King announced that on March 30th, it will release the Peppercorn BLT Whopper nationally. This is part of their “Whopper by You” program, which allows customers to suggest and see their ideas become new menu items across the country.
Many popular shows are now taking incredibly long breaks between seasons, frustrating fans. For example, viewers had to wait three years for the latest season of Stranger Things, and the results weren’t what they hoped for. Severance also had a three-year gap between seasons. Now, the new Harry Potter series won’t return until at least 2028, meaning kids who enjoyed the first season will likely be grown up by the time the expensive and questionable adaptation continues.
The show focuses on the forging of the Rings of Power, taking place thousands of years before the events in J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings. While many viewers are enjoying this new interpretation of Middle-earth, it’s also proven quite controversial. Some fans of Tolkien’s books are unhappy with changes made to the source material, and others have criticized the show’s decision to include a more diverse cast.
The show’s struggles are particularly noticeable in the first part of the finale, “Search and Rescue,” penned by creator Connor Hines and Elizabeth Beller. This section features John and Carolyn in marriage therapy, revisiting a familiar argument. The scene largely replays a fight from earlier in the season, which, as our reviewer Rafaela Bassili noted, felt overly dramatic. Carolyn is growing frustrated with how her marriage has thrust her into the public eye and forced her to accommodate John’s family. John, meanwhile, acts immaturely and blames Carolyn for not understanding what she was getting into. Despite the added pressure of their famous family name, the fight feels like a typical couple arguing about in-laws and a fading connection. Honestly, if I were there, I’d urge them to stop the unhealthy cycle and consider going their separate ways.
The shocking ending of Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen shouldn’t be that surprising – the title itself is a pretty clear warning! The show expertly builds a sense of dread throughout, making it less about if something terrible would happen and more about who would survive. The finale delivers on that promise with a truly gruesome and high body count. After watching the entire series, though, it’s natural to be left wondering what the whole experience meant.
I just saw the latest manga sales numbers from outside of Japan, and it’s a bit of a mixed bag! The Jujutsu Kaisen spinoff, Mamahaha no Kokoroe, had a really nice boost – over 8,000 more copies sold for Volume 3, which is awesome! But honestly, everything else on the list pretty much stayed the same. It’s cool to see Mamahaha doing well, but I was hoping for a bit more movement overall.
RuPaul stars as President Judy Gagwell in a new movie where a speeding train is about to crash into a dangerous storm called a “Stormaganza.” Everyone on board is at risk, including a diverse group of passengers – young, old, and even Sarah Michelle Gellar. Hopefully, this role offers Gellar a positive experience after her planned Buffy the Vampire Slayer reboot was canceled by Hulu.
The next Superman movie, written and directed by James Gunn, is set to be released in US theaters in 2027. It’s a sequel to the 2025 film Superman, also directed and written by Gunn, and stars David Corenswet as Clark Kent/Superman and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor.
A common joke among Star Trek fans is that only about 30 out of the 78 episodes of the original series are truly great. But that’s part of what makes Star Trek so beloved – everyone has different opinions on what makes an episode or movie good. While fans all have their favorites, only three of the Star Trek films manage to reach the same level of storytelling, excitement, and dramatic impact as the very best episodes of the original series or The Next Generation.
The game initially launched with a limited number of weapons, but the 0.4 update, nicknamed Spearhead, brought about the biggest changes and additions yet.
