What’s a great way to mark this occasion? By reviewing his complete film work – all 12 movies – and ranking them. This includes his two documentaries about exploring the ocean, Ghosts of the Abyss (2003) and Aliens of the Deep (2005). However, it doesn’t include films he helped with as a producer or writer, like Strange Days, Alita: Battle Angel, or Terminator: Dark Fate, even though he played a big role in those projects.
As a huge animation fan, I was pretty amazed to hear that The Simpsons just hit another milestone! They aired their 800th episode in December 2025 – can you believe it? It was season 37, episode 10, called “Guess Who’s Coming to Skinner,” and featured Kieran Culkin as a guest star. It’s just incredible how many records this show continues to break after all these years!
During a live performance by the band BanG Dream, someone shouted an offensive remark directed at Japan’s new prime minister. A video of the incident quickly spread online, particularly on social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter).
The season finale of Survivor starts at 8 p.m. Eastern Time and will narrow the final five contestants down to one winner. The players competing for the title are Savannah Louie, Sage Ahrens-Nichols, Sophi Balerdi, Kristina Mills, and Rizo Velovic. However, Savannah is the clear favorite – she’s dominated the immunity challenges and is incredibly determined. Some speculate that the timing of a recent address was intentionally scheduled to keep the suspense alive if you’re rooting for Rizo. Despite this, it’s unlikely Rizo will use his hidden immunity idol to save himself.
Everyone knows the Oscars are still the biggest honor in film, but the awards show itself has been facing challenges. TV ratings haven’t been strong in recent years, and finding successful hosts has been difficult. While Conan O’Brien was a hit this year and quickly signed on to host again, it’s uncertain if that positive momentum will continue.
Triple Triad first appeared in Final Fantasy VIII, and many fans still consider it the highlight of the game, even decades later. It’s more than just a fun distraction – it’s so well-designed that it could stand on its own as a complete game.
I recently chatted with Sir Ben Kingsley, and he gave us a fascinating peek behind the curtain of the upcoming Wonder Man series. He described it as essentially Trevor Slattery’s true life story – a real origin tale, not just about his time as the fake Mandarin. Apparently, the show will delve into his life before he even landed that infamous role, and then follow him through everything that happened afterward. It sounds like we’re getting a much deeper understanding of this character than we ever expected!
The comic DC K.O.: Harley Quinn vs. Zatanna, written by Leah Williams and illustrated by Mirka Andolfo, features a best-two-out-of-three-rounds battle. Fighters can transform into any version of themselves from throughout their history.
Zack Snyder directed several films in the DC Extended Universe (DCEU), starting with Man of Steel in 2013, followed by Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice in 2016, and Justice League in 2017. The production of the 2017 Justice League was troubled, leading to the release of a director’s cut, Zack Snyder’s Justice League, in 2021. The DCEU concluded in 2023 with the release of Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.
I just read that Angela Kinsey, who I loved as Angela on The Office, is going to be on Season 2 of Shifting Gears! She’s playing a character named Lynn, and apparently, Tim Allen’s character, Matt, meets her on this dating app called TradSwipe – it’s for people who want traditional values. From what I hear, they really connect at first, but there’s something a little off about the whole thing, which makes me super curious to see how it plays out!
