The live-action Voltron series is currently planned to be released sometime in 2027. Amazon MGM Studios hasn’t announced an exact date yet, but the update signals that the show is progressing well after a long period of development, according to The Wrap.
This episode mainly follows the women as they travel to Italy and settle into the luxurious Villa Bibiani—which, by the way, you can rent if you’re wealthy enough (though let’s be real, most of us aren’t!). Before heading off, they recap their previous trip. We see Kyle meet with Amanda Frances, and I always tune out the details of what everyone orders until someone requests something ridiculously complicated, like a collagen latte with a specific blend of milk and no sugar. It made me think of a much simpler (and arguably less pretentious) drink order! Their conversation doesn’t cover much depth, but Amanda mentions getting around three facials a month. I initially thought that wasn’t excessive—I could easily get that many done in a single weekend—but I quickly realized we were talking about very different things.
Two years later, Nolan created a truly groundbreaking film. He wrote and directed it himself, basing it on a short story called Memento Mori by his brother, Jonathan. Memento was a nearly flawless crime thriller that felt fresh and original because of how its story was told, although Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction had already experimented with similar techniques a few years earlier.

Shows like Star Trek, Doctor Who, and The X-Files are classics that really defined the science fiction TV genre. Another standout is Firefly, created by Joss Whedon, but sadly it was canceled after only one season, making it a beloved, short-lived gem.
Originally revealed in October 2024, the series Einstein is inspired by a German show of the same name. It centers around Lew Einstein, a gifted but somewhat lost college professor and the great-grandson of Albert Einstein. Actor Jonathan Gubler plays Lew, who enjoys a comfortable life until he’s unexpectedly partnered with Detective Inspector Maddie Paris (played by Rosa Salazar, known for Alita: Battle Angel). She needs his sharp mind to help her crack difficult cases.
Although films like Lilo & Stitch and Beauty and the Beast were huge successes, Disney’s live-action versions of classics like Snow White and Dumbo haven’t been well-received by critics or audiences. If you were disappointed by those remakes, the show Once Upon A Time offers a more satisfying experience.
These movies are popular globally, particularly thanks to anime, but animated films often do very well in U.S. theaters. Although the ten highest-grossing movies of all time in the U.S. are all live-action, animated features quickly appear as you move further down the list.
