The first part of the fifth and final season of Stranger Things is now available on Netflix. The initial four episodes include the show’s most shocking death and conclude with a major reveal: Will Byers possesses special abilities. The sequence was particularly impactful, and I found it even more enjoyable after revisiting the first two seasons beforehand.
PlayStation recently announced all the games coming this month, giving you plenty of options! Don’t miss out on one standout title – it has an impressive Metacritic score of 89.
Even though recent superhero movies haven’t always been huge successes, as shown by some disappointing box office numbers in 2025, the genre remains popular with dedicated fans who are excited for what’s coming next. 2026 looks promising, with a lineup of films poised to deliver that excitement – although some movies are generating more buzz than others.
When a contestant on Jeopardy! performs as well as a top winner like Harrison Whitaker, it’s natural to assume they were destined for the show. Viewers also became curious about where Whitaker came from. Although he’s often identified as being from Terre Haute, Indiana, many noticed his accent sounded somewhat British – possibly because he now lives in the U.K. There was plenty of time for speculation, as Whitaker impressively won 14 games before losing to Libby Jones on December 1st. During his nearly three-week run, Whitaker became the 19th Jeopardy! super-champion after his tenth win and set a new record for the highest single-day winnings in season 42, earning $50,000 in one game.
In an interview with Gizmodo, James Cameron discussed plans for a new Terminator movie following the release of Avatar: Fire and Ash. He explained that once the current marketing campaign wraps up in about a month, he’ll start focusing on his next projects, beginning with a new Terminator script. Cameron already has extensive notes – enough to fill a three-inch stack – outlining his vision for the film and intends to dedicate himself to the writing process. His main challenge, however, is making the movie feel futuristic given how much real-world technology has advanced, and ensuring it remains relevant for at least a few years.
2025 started with Captain America: Brave New World, then saw the releases of Thunderbolts at the beginning of summer and The Fantastic Four: First Steps mid-year. However, none of these superhero films were major box office successes, earning $415 million, $382 million, and $521 million respectively.
The news that Netflix canceled an animated Tomb Raider series so soon after announcing a live-action show definitely surprised people. It led to questions about whether Sophie Turner’s upcoming series played a role in the decision, or if Netflix was already planning to end the animated version. Here’s the reason Netflix canceled Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft.
I understand the story jumps around in time because of the demands of professional sports – players on different teams rarely see each other. This applies to the characters Hollander and Rozanov, who are separated by distance, weather, and their commitments to their teams and families. However, these constant time jumps work much better in the book version, Heated Rivalry. The HBO Max series is based on a Rachel Reid novel that spans ten years in the lives of Shane and Ilya. The story is divided into chapters named after specific events – matches, championships, and even the Olympics – and follows their secret moments together while competing in the same city. The chapter breaks allow the story to show what happens when they’re apart, with each character’s thoughts filling in the gaps.
