Highguard was unveiled with a big reveal at The Game Awards 2025 as a multiplayer shooter where players control heroes and ride mounts. While the game initially attracted a large number of players, its popularity quickly dropped.

Rod Blackhurst’s new film, Dolly, tries to capitalize on a current horror trend, but ultimately falls short. Like Damien Leone, Blackhurst aims for extreme thrills and achieves that in some ways.

Crossovers between TV shows usually happen to promote other programs owned by the same company. For example, NBC might have characters from its Chicago dramas face a big crisis together, or CBS could have people from The Young and the Restless appear on its newer soap opera, Beyond the Gates. So, when fans of Rookie and Dropout saw this week’s crossover, they might have assumed it was a similar marketing move. However, Rookie’s creator, Alexi Hawley, says the idea was much simpler: he was just a big fan of Dropout and wanted to collaborate with them. He reached out to Sam, Dropout’s creator, with the idea, even admitting they didn’t know each other, and asked if a crossover was possible.

This could be a spin-off series or a large-scale movie, similar to Dune, focusing on the story of Aegon Targaryen – the first Targaryen king – and his conquest of Westeros after leaving Valyria. Essentially, it would tell the story of how the Iron Throne came to be!

After a long break, horror movies are popular in theaters again. The trailer for the new Scary Movie 6 is entertaining, blending classic references like Jason Voorhees on the subway with a funny take on the famous scene of kids running. However, including more subtle nods to popular horror franchises could make the latest film from the Wayans Brothers clever and surprising, instead of just relying on predictable jokes.
