A recent study by Bloomberg, which tracked TV viewing habits in the U.S. from 2020 to 2025, found that Disney+ hasn’t seen significant growth in the last three years. This is happening while competitors like Netflix and Amazon Prime Video are continuing to gain viewers. These results suggest Disney’s streaming plans may have hit a roadblock, even with its vast collection of popular movies and shows.

You know, The Princess Bride wasn’t an instant blockbuster when it came out, but it’s become this total cult favorite – honestly, one of Rob Reiner’s best films. Cary Elwes actually wrote a book about making the movie a few years back, and he shared some really touching stuff about Rob. He said the first thing he noticed about Rob was how openly emotional he was – a genuinely compassionate guy. It wasn’t about money or status with Rob; he just wanted to know if you were a good person at heart. He always looked for the best in everyone, and he really felt for people who were struggling.

Two months after its release, Tron: Ares has become Disney’s biggest box office disappointment of 2025. While critics were split on the film, general audiences enjoyed it, giving it an 84% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Unfortunately, positive reviews didn’t lead to strong ticket sales. The movie earned just $142 million worldwide, falling short of its $180 to $220 million production cost.

Animation is a fantastic way to bring superhero and comic book stories to life. While many animated comic adaptations are aimed at children, one of the most exciting animated projects of 2025 is a series for adults: the third season of the highly praised Amazon Prime Video show, .

Genndy Tartakovsky considered ending Primal after its initial run. He initially planned to shift the show’s focus to new characters in an anthology format, even suggesting a title like Primal: Creation. However, he became dissatisfied with this new direction and decided to revisit the story of Spear and Fang. He realized the original story might have been cut short – only 20 episodes – and even wondered if he could bring Spear back to life after killing him off. He didn’t want a prequel, and whatever came next needed to truly feel like Primal. The idea of turning Spear into a zombie came up as a joke from someone on his team.

Throughout much of the final season, Stranger Things has seemed to rewrite its own story. We’ve seen Will gain powers and become even more central than Eleven, learned the Upside Down is actually a gateway to another world, and been introduced to a strange new wormhole – all after dozens of episodes. The Duffer brothers are essentially saying, “Actually…” and changing established ideas. It’s easy to forget the U.S. military even played a role in the story. However, despite these shifts, the show also feels strangely hesitant. Many characters seem stuck in repeating patterns: Will and Joyce constantly revisiting her promise to protect him, Hopper and Eleven endlessly worrying about her safety, and Nancy, Jonathan, and Steve caught in a love triangle. Aside from Will’s newfound abilities and his coming out, most characters aren’t progressing.
