We’re excited to announce that the sci-fi action movie Gamer, directed by Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor (known for Crank and Crank 2: High Voltage), is coming to Peacock on January 1, 2026! Though it’s not a critical darling, Gamer is a wildly over-the-top, violent, and admittedly cheesy action film – which is exactly what makes it so much fun to watch. Fans of Gerard Butler will especially enjoy revisiting this cult favorite.

First Reaction – Novocaine tries too hard to be edgy and outside the box.

The villains in Avatar: The Way of Water were compelling and complex, especially Colonel Miles Quaritch (Stephen Lang) and Varang (Oona Chaplin). However, I’m really interested to find out more about the even larger threat hinted at for the fourth and fifth Avatar movies.

With all the potential to be a great follow-up to the already strong TRON: Legacy, TRON: Ares unfortunately stumbled. The biggest issue? The absence of TRON himself. While he wasn’t the central figure after the first movie, he still played a significant part in Legacy. Now, with TRON: Ares underperforming in theaters, it’s obvious that including the character the series is named after might have made a real difference.

A fascinating detail about Walter White’s transformation was his tendency to adopt the mannerisms of those he killed. It’s unclear if this was intentional, a subconscious process, or simply a coincidence, but it’s a striking pattern. Looking back at the series, this subtle habit reveals a lot about his character and adds layers to his motivations, allowing for multiple interpretations of his actions.

Despite the overall somber tone of the mining sequences, nothing could have truly prepared viewers for a particularly heartbreaking moment. Several well-loved Dwarf characters from The Hobbit meet tragic ends, appearing as corpses in a scene that remains deeply disturbing for many fans.

This is positive for the gaming world, but to truly understand where games are headed, it’s helpful to remember their history. In 2026, popular titles like Firewatch and Overwatch will mark their ten-year anniversaries, having first launched in 2016.

I’m hearing a really interesting rumor! Apparently, Marvel is considering Jordan Peele to direct one of their upcoming movies. The only downside is that no one seems to know which movie it would be. Insider Daniel Richtman shared the news, but didn’t have any details about the project.

Fans recently marked a milestone anniversary for Lost, but the show’s true 20th anniversary isn’t until 2025. The pilot episode was developed and filmed quickly by creators J.J. Abrams and Damon Lindelof, and when it became a huge success for ABC, they—along with Carlton Cuse, who later became a co-showrunner—found it challenging to plan the first season finale. It wasn’t until a break before Season 2 that they fully developed the island’s mysteries and the overall story arc. A major addition to that story was introducing new survivors from Oceanic Flight 815. Mr. Eko quickly became a favorite character, and his initial flashback episode established his internal conflict, though looking back, it unfortunately foreshadowed his tragic fate.
