Rewatching the first season after seeing the later ones is a stark contrast. The early episodes felt grand and expansive, with a real sense of a large world and genuinely important issues at stake. In comparison, the recent seasons have felt very limited, focusing on just a few locations and relying heavily on characters simply talking to each other.
I noticed something really cool in a recent episode! There’s a statue of David Corenswet as Superman in what looks like an office, and it’s from the upcoming 2025 movie. A fan shared a picture on Threads and tagged James Gunn, pointing out how awesome it was that the Euphoria crew got to film there. Someone corrected them, saying it was Peter Safran’s office, but Gunn jumped in to say it’s actually both of their offices – he just doesn’t spend much time there!

Season 9 of Rick and Morty has received a perfect 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes, making it the highest-rated season of the show so far.

The Adult Swim series is also performing well on HBO Max, currently ranked at No. 2 globally behind Euphoria. It’s attracting a large audience in many countries, including Romania, Germany, and France.
Mascots are frequently used to explain how games work. Vault-Tec wasn’t the only company before the war to use one – the Boy Scouts of America also had a mascot.
At the end of season one of A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder, Pip successfully brought justice to Andie Bell and Salil Singh.

A beautifully restored 4K version of the 1958 classic Horror of Dracula (often called just Dracula) will be shown in theaters this Halloween. The film will also be available to buy or rent for home viewing.

I’m so excited! My favorite indie publisher just announced their next big project: the Star Trek: 60th Anniversary Special! It’s going to be an anthology with over six stories, and they’ve got some amazing, award-winning creators working on it. Best of all, it’s packed with stories about the classic Star Trek characters we all know and love.
Russell Crowe recently visited Paris. After leaving his hotel, he addressed fans asking for autographs, politely setting limits on what he could offer. A post on TMZ’s X account highlighted the interaction, but Crowe responded to clarify that he actually signed autographs for everyone who asked.

Even long-running favorites like One Piece are still successful despite facing competition from new manga. The diverse range of genres and art styles shows that manga is reaching a wider audience and changing to meet their interests.
