Even before they started working together, the early films each Coen brother made on his own hinted at their individual strengths. It’s been interesting to see them both succeed as individual filmmakers after decades of collaboration. Joel Coen’s next project, following his adaptation of The Tragedy of Macbeth, is planned for release in 2027, and Ethan Coen has already directed two fun, queer-themed crime comedies in 2024 and 2025.

Many anime series from the 1990s were created for a different way of watching than how fans enjoy them now. Back then, episodes were designed to be watched one per week, while today people often prefer to watch multiple episodes at once. Humor and storytelling were also different – jokes didn’t always land the same way, and stories tended to repeat themes more often than modern shows. This makes going back to ’90s anime both fascinating and challenging, as these classics can be harder to get into by today’s standards.

I was really touched reading Jake’s words about his parents. He talked about all the fun times they had – going to musicals with his mom and Dodgers games with his dad – but even with all those happy memories, he just misses them so much. He wrote that he’d give up everything – all those games, shows, vacations – just for one more hour to talk to them and say goodbye. It really struck me how he explained that unless you’re going through something like this with someone you love, it’s hard to understand how awful it is. He said it’s not something you can just move on from, or even forget for a moment, because it’s a pain he and Romy live with every single day.

It’s still unclear whether recent changes to the show Tracker will help it regain its popularity. Tracker used to be the most-watched scripted drama on network television, but it’s now been surpassed by Marshals, a new spinoff of Yellowstone starring Luke Grimes as Kayce Dutton. Marshals is currently the most-watched show on TV, providing strong competition for Tracker.

Though the original Bosch series has finished, its world lives on through spin-offs like Ballard and the new prequel, Bosch: Start of Watch. However, many fans especially loved Titus Welliver as Harry Bosch, and his absence is definitely felt.

It’s been a lengthy journey to get Coyote vs. Acme to audiences, ever since it was first announced in 2018. Production was initially delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic, but filming finally wrapped in 2022. Even after being completed and mostly edited, Warner Bros. decided to cancel its release in 2023.
