Illumination and Nintendo haven’t announced when The Super Mario Galaxy Movie will be available to stream. They want people to see it in theaters—including IMAX—where it premiered on April 1st. However, it will eventually be on Peacock, since Peacock is owned by NBCUniversal, the same company that made the movie.
The new Aldis Hodge series has the potential to run for many years, thanks to the wealth of additional Alex Cross novels that could be adapted. However, it might not have been made at all if the 2022 series Reacher hadn’t been such a hit. Reacher, now in its fourth season, has become a prime example of popular, feel-good television for a broad audience.
Julianne Nicholson might not be a powerful figure in real life, but she brilliantly portrays one on television. In the series Paradise, created by Dan Fogelman, Nicholson plays Samantha Redmond, who’s earned the nickname “Sinatra” due to the commanding presence she projects – a blend of strength and charm. This allows her to build and lead a secret underground city for a select group of people who survived a worldwide disaster that temporarily turned the Earth’s surface into a desolate area. Nicholson herself prefers the nickname for her character, telling Vulture, “I call her Sinatra. That name is just so fitting. It’s hard to think of her as Samantha – Samantha feels too ordinary.”
HBO released a new trailer for Euphoria Season 3, and it looks significantly more intense than previous seasons. While the first two seasons focused on the characters’ struggles with addiction and growing up, this new trailer suggests a more action-driven storyline. The trailer and new promotional poster have even led some fans to compare the show to the Grand Theft Auto video game series.
Okay, after putting over 100 hours into Pokémon Pokopia, I can honestly say it’s way more than just an Animal Crossing or Minecraft copycat. It really takes the classic Pokémon gameplay and does some incredibly interesting things with it. I was genuinely surprised by how good the story was, and I love that there are so many ways to play – you can really make the game your own. Honestly, I think this is one of the best Pokémon games ever, and it’s so good it could win over even someone who isn’t normally a fan.
Throughout the second season of Hulu’s post-apocalyptic series, fans have debated the true nature of Alex – is Alex a person, or a machine? The season finale revealed the answer: Alex isn’t human, and has been secretly located in a different underground bunker all along, ultimately posing a threat to the world rather than a savior.
The popular HBO series Euphoria is back after a break, and the latest trailer suggests things aren’t easy for Rue. It looks like each character is now dealing with the consequences of their past actions.
The concept is universally agreeable – it aims to avoid upsetting anyone – but it’s surprisingly uncommon to see it actually happen. Often, those most in need receive empty promises rather than real support, at least in many nations. In his film, Brazilian director Gabriel Mascaro explores a world where a person’s worth is measured solely by their ability to work, highlighting how deeply corrupted society has become.
It used to be that comedy fans might watch a few stand-up specials each year. Now, with so many options on streaming services – everything from established stars to up-and-coming performers – it’s much harder to find the good ones. Since relying on algorithms isn’t always the best approach, we’re here to help. We recommend the specials that are truly worth watching – the ones that are excellent, unique, or push the boundaries, even if they don’t always succeed perfectly. Occasionally, we’ll also discuss specials that have noticeable problems, especially if those issues raise interesting points about comedy itself. Whether you want to watch a few specials a year or many more, we aim to highlight the best of the bunch and separate the truly worthwhile from the rest.
Season two doesn’t exactly deliver satisfying answers. While we get a few, they aren’t particularly thrilling – the biggest reveal might just be that there are two Arby’s in the bunker! Instead of providing concrete answers, the season largely focuses on setting up the story for season three. We do learn what Alex (or A.L.3.X) actually is. The episode flashes back nine years, showing how Link (who, by the way, is actually named Dylan, but I’ll keep calling him Link for clarity) first met Henry Miller at Caltech. While Henry lectures on complex topics like quantum-error correction, Link gets frustrated with the theoretical discussions and wants to build something. Henry initially dismisses the teenage Link, but Link then presents a fully functional, AI-controlled quantum computer he built himself. Henry immediately cancels class – this technology is groundbreaking! Even though terms like “optical tweezers” are a bit overwhelming, two of the computer’s capabilities stand out: it learns from previous attempts and can predict future failures in a matter of microseconds.
