The initial attraction between the two rivals, shown in the first few episodes, was very physical and built on strong sexual tension. We saw their interest in each other develop from quick, secretive looks to more direct, though calculated, advances – including suggestive photos and displays of attraction. Their competitive relationship actually fueled this dynamic. However, just when things were getting interesting, the show took a surprising turn. The developing relationship between Hollander and Rozanov was dropped, replaced with a more predictable and overused storyline.

Even with popular shows like Sean Combs: The Reckoning and the fifth season of Stranger Things still leading on Netflix, this hidden gem of a thriller series is sure to captivate viewers from beginning to end.

There’s been a lot of recent discussion about how important it is to see LGBTQ+ people represented in TV and movies. I started watching a show called Heated Rivalry, which is about two male hockey players who begin a secret relationship. I saw some clips on Twitter and got hooked – I’m really enjoying it!

Sources say the upcoming Spider-Man: Brand New Day movie is planning additional filming in February 2026. Although the movie is still scheduled to come out on July 31, 2026, actress Sadie Sink is expected to participate in these reshoots.

The series Heated Rivalry has stayed remarkably true to the source material so far. It’s based on Rachel Reid’s Game Changers novels and follows the story of professional hockey players, Ilya Rozanov from Russia and Shane Hollander from Canada, who are long-time rivals on the ice. But away from the game, they unexpectedly begin a captivating romance.

Following a competitive bidding war (according to The Wrap), Netflix, led by Ted Sarandos, is close to buying the iconic studio and its streaming services, including HBO Max. Netflix reportedly offered $30 per share and included a $5 billion agreement to cover costs if another company, like Paramount, matched the offer. Now, everyone is waiting to see if both companies can agree on the final details and if the deal will be approved by regulators.

According to reports, the popular animated series Rick and Morty, co-created by Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon, will be removed from Netflix in several countries. It will no longer be available in Germany, Greece, India, Israel, Italy, Japan, Lithuania, South Africa, South Korea, and Turkey after December 30th, and will leave the UK on December 31st. However, viewers in Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, Colombia, the Czech Republic, France, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Russia, and Switzerland will continue to be able to stream the show on Netflix.

Okay, so this is pretty cool – a few cinemas in China, from Shanghai to Lanzhou, did something amazing! They held special screenings just for dogs and their owners. They actually closed it off to regular moviegoers, which makes sense considering allergies and stuff. But the best part? They really prepared! Every seat had little diaper pads and cleaning wipes, and it was up to the owners to keep things tidy. As a movie lover and a dog person, I wish this was a thing everywhere!

In Camp Rock 3, the band Connect 3 is starting a comeback tour but needs an opening act. They decide to return to Camp Rock to search for a new, undiscovered singer. The campers compete for the chance to perform with them on tour and potentially launch their own music careers. The movie is executive produced by former Disney stars like the Jonas Brothers and Demi Lovato, and will introduce a new generation of musicians on Disney+ next summer.

During the Prime Video panel at CCXP25, Omelete shared details about the first scene from Spider-Noir. The scene opens with a shot of a criminal wearing a beret. Then, Spider-Noir appears, with his eyes glowing brightly – a look that stays true to the comics and the Spider-Verse movie!
