Caple Jr. has announced that the next Transformers movie won’t be the big sequel everyone has been expecting for the past three years. Caple Jr. directed the seventh film, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, which served as a fresh start and backstory to the previous movies directed by Michael Bay. Rise of the Beasts featured the Autobots fighting Scourge, the leader of the Terrorcons, and his powerful boss, Unicron. The film ended by suggesting that a G.I. Joe crossover movie is planned for the future.

Filming for the third season of the Prime Video series Rings of Power started around May 2025 and wrapped up in October. Based on the writings of J.R.R. Tolkien, the show is known for its massive budget and tells the story of Sauron’s early quest for power and his eventual downfall. Rings of Power originally debuted in 2022, and its second season followed nearly two years later in 2024.

Sarah, determined to find her birth parents, hires a private investigator. As seen in an exclusive clip from the season finale, the investigator is starting to uncover clues. However, Sarah is shocked to learn a discrepancy in her adoption paperwork reveals she’s actually 30 years old, not 28, leaving her reeling.

Margo is enjoying her new venture, despite the messy realities of caring for a baby and managing a rather unusual side hustle. We see her writing provocative and explicitly-themed content, including lines like “Your penis is filled with a quiet menace.” While we don’t see the explicit images she’s reviewing, we’re left to wonder how accurate her ratings are. Although her follower count is increasing—currently at 196—she understands she needs to significantly grow her audience to succeed. She asks her friend Susie to help with some revealing photoshoots, which she offers to her fans for a small fee, but the income isn’t substantial enough. She quickly realizes that to truly gain traction, she needs to collaborate with more popular content creators.

Marvel just revealed the new X-Men logo, and it’s strikingly intimidating. Unlike past logos that focused on the team’s strangeness or bravery, this one portrays mutants as dangerous and threatening, like living hazards.

Certain Star Trek episodes stand out as truly iconic, and “Far Beyond the Stars” is a prime example. The episode’s central story follows Sisko, who unexpectedly finds himself living as a science fiction writer named Benny Russell in 1950s New York. As Benny, he experiences the racism of the time, facing harassment from the police and difficulties getting his work published.

The trailer’s animation style and overall tone suggested this version of Animal Farm is aimed at a surprisingly young audience. While the book has been used in middle school classrooms for years – despite being challenged or banned at times – the new adaptation’s reliance on childish humor and exaggerated scenes makes it seem geared toward even younger viewers.

Recent seasons of Doctor Who have faced many criticisms, and even its most loyal fans are starting to look for a new science fiction show to love. Just as Doctor Who seems to be losing steam, the classic British space opera Blake’s 7 is making a comeback, offering a potential revitalization of the genre. While Blake’s 7 never achieved the widespread popularity of shows like Star Trek, it remained a favorite among sci-fi enthusiasts. The announcement of the upcoming Blake’s 7 reboot couldn’t have come at a more opportune moment.

The popular series Yellowstone premiered in 2018 and centers around John Dutton (played by Kevin Costner), the head of a powerful family.

He’ll stop at nothing to defend the Yellowstone Dutton Ranch, even when facing constant threats and opposition.

The rest of the weekend unfolded as expected. Everyone went to support Kyle’s DJ set, and afterward, a messy, food-strewn scene unfolded in the kitchen as Kyle and Jesse ate. Kyle ended the night thanking Amanda for coming, pretty much business as usual. The next morning, Carl and Bailey tackled the kitchen cleanup. Carl then ordered bagels and egg sandwiches for everyone, and impressively swatted a fly with a kitchen towel – possibly his most masculine moment ever shown on camera. Whatever else you might think of Carl, they all owe him big time for keeping things running while they recover from their hangovers.
