As a huge Marvel fan, I was so excited when Marvel Studios dropped the first trailer for X-Men ’97 season 2 in May 2024, right after season 1 finished! It really got me hyped for the new season, which is coming out on July 1st. You can check it out below – it looks amazing!
As much as I love the huge scope of the Avengers films, I think X-Men ’97 actually feels even more expansive. It’s amazing because even though it doesn’t connect to the main MCU, and it has fewer characters and isn’t tied to as many franchises, it just feels bigger. The creators really focus on building out this incredible world, and from what I’ve heard, the future storylines are going to be as epic and high-stakes as Avengers: Infinity War.
BritBox released a short preview of their new series, Tommy & Tuppence, and confirmed it will be available to stream in the US and Canada starting September 15th.
Taylor Sheridan continues to prove his success with the launch of Dutton Ranch, adding to his growing television empire. This year, he’s demonstrated that the Yellowstone world can thrive even without the original series or Kevin Costner. Dutton Ranch focuses on beloved characters Beth and Rip as they build a new life in Texas. Meanwhile, Marshals, following Beth’s brother Kayce on CBS, quickly became the network’s most popular new show. And The Madison, starring Michelle Pfeiffer and set within the Yellowstone universe but with a completely new cast, attracted 8 million viewers in its first ten days on Paramount+. All this success comes as Sheridan has moved to a new deal with NBCUniversal, allowing him to create shows for Peacock and NBC starting in 2029. Despite his departure, Paramount is clearly seeing a strong return on their investment during his time with them.
Year: 2001
Run time: 2h 36m

The new season of the popular Prime Video fantasy series begins a year after the events of the last one. The heroes had gone their separate ways – Vex and Percy returned to Whitestone, Vax and Keyleth set off on a sea voyage, Scanlan traveled with Kaylie to work on their relationship, and Grog and Pike stayed together. But when a dangerous cult called The Whispered One starts gaining power, the group must reunite to save the world.
Okay, so fixing up your car in Forza Horizon 6 is actually pretty easy. There are a bunch of ways to do it quickly. Just be aware that when you repair, it completely resets your car – it goes back to looking brand new and drives like it just rolled off the assembly line. That means all the cool wear and tear you’ve earned while driving will be gone! But if you want that fresh, clean look, here’s how to do it in Forza Horizon 6.
It’s frustrating when so many games come out in one year – the really good ones can get lost in the shuffle. Now that 2025 is over and the award shows have finished, it’s a great time to revisit and discover those excellent games that didn’t get the attention they deserved.
There’s been a lot of discussion about the noticeable absence of major Hollywood films at this year’s Cannes Film Festival. Some suggest the big studios, facing creative constraints, financial difficulties, and internal restructuring, didn’t want to risk debuting their big-budget movies to Cannes’ famously critical audience. However, looking closer at potential blockbusters that might have been considered, their absence seems more about release timing than a complete Hollywood boycott. Christopher Nolan hasn’t shown a film at a festival since 2002, and Steven Spielberg likely avoided Cannes after receiving mixed reviews for his 2008 film, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. (I heard a rumor that The Mandalorian and Grogu was submitted but rejected, which feels fitting – while Cannes sometimes includes ambitious TV projects, it generally doesn’t consider extended TV episodes presented as a movie.) Despite all this, the lack of big American marketing campaigns left me feeling surprisingly sentimental.
Robert Pattinson and Zendaya recently collaborated on the A24 film, The Drama, which proved successful. Now, they’re joining forces again for a new A24 project called Primetime, inspired by the true crime show To Catch a Predator. A short preview of the film has just been released by A24.
