So, after so many years, the big question is: did Pragmata live up to the hype? Was it just a showcase of what the PS5 could do, a fancy tech demo, or was it a genuinely substantial game in the making?
The movie also doesn’t include Randy Jackson, who became a member of the Jackson 5 in 1975 after replacing his brother Jermaine, or their oldest sister, Rebbie. Michael Jackson’s daughter, Paris, has publicly expressed her distance from the project, stating she chose not to get involved. She explained that the filmmakers were going to create the movie they wanted, and she anticipated that a significant portion of it would appeal to fans who still hold onto idealized memories of her father. She felt it was best to remain uninvolved, knowing that this segment of the fandom would likely enjoy the film.
Despite Netflix releasing a lot of horror content, some great shows didn’t get the attention they deserved. For example, the 2019 series Marianne was just as well-made as anything by Mike Flanagan, but it didn’t reach as wide an audience. Similarly, the German sci-fi show Dark, which received excellent reviews for its three seasons, never became as popular as Stranger Things, even though they shared some similar themes of mystery and the supernatural.
In the series Monarch: Legacy of the Monsters, Isabel Simmons, played by Amber Midthunder, sets up a new direction for the Monsterverse. The character, introduced in the fifth episode of the second season, is revealed to be the daughter of Walter Simmons, the primary human villain from Godzilla vs. Kong. This is a storyline the Godzilla franchise hasn’t explored in over three decades.
As the clock ticked ominously on Tuesday, Iranian officials delivered a united front, sending out a message that could only be described as ‘we’re not in the mood for negotiations’-especially not while the US continues its naval blockade and throws around threats like confetti at a wedding.
The drama unfolded as Paxton accused ActBlue of deceiving Congress and the public about its safeguards against dodgy donations. ActBlue, mind you, has processed more than $16 billion since 2004-enough to buy every child in the world a lifetime supply of gobstoppers. In 2025 alone, they handled $1.78 billion in small-dollar donations. That’s a lot of pocket change!
Though Sheridan has directed three films and written scripts for many others, he feels this new project is his most significant yet. It’s the first time S.C. Gwynne’s book, Empire of the Summer Moon, will be adapted for the screen, and the story is particularly meaningful to him as it’s set in his home state of Texas.
How they investigated: The team shifted tactics after early resistance from crypto insiders.
The new film brings together two-time Emmy winner Bob Odenkirk and Derek Kolstad, who previously worked together on an action series similar to John Wick. Odenkirk plays Ulysses, a man who steps in as temporary sheriff of a small Minnesota town after the previous sheriff dies. Initially feeling like an outsider, Ulysses slowly gets to know the town’s residents, including the welcoming Mayor Kibner, who hopes he’ll stay, and the friendly people like Moira.
The Xbox brand has been struggling due to rising prices. Both the Xbox Series X and S consoles have become more expensive in the last year, and Xbox Game Pass, which was once known for being an amazing value, has also gotten more expensive. This is particularly noticeable now that Microsoft is releasing games previously exclusive to Xbox on other platforms, lessening the appeal of a Game Pass subscription.
