It’s difficult to picture The Big Bang Theory with any other title. A different name would have meant a completely different theme song, likely not by the Barenaked Ladies. According to Bill Prady, one of the show’s creators, as revealed in Jessica Radloff’s book “The Big Bang Theory: The Definitive, Inside Story of the Epic Hit Series” (reported by TVLine), they considered a different original title – and thankfully, they decided against it.

Discotek Media has released the complete Kamen Rider Amazon series on Blu-ray, and it’s now available from retailers like Amazon, Crunchyroll Store, and MediaOCD. This set includes all 24 episodes in Japanese with newly translated English subtitles, plus a wealth of bonus content for fans. You’ll find vintage promotional material, a classic commercial for the series’ belt, and a gallery of photos and artwork. The release also features several new interviews, including separate conversations with actor Toru Okazaki (who played Amazon/Daisuke Yamamoto) and Yoji Matsuda (who played Masahiko). There’s even a joint interview with both actors, and a new essay about the series written by voice actor Mike Dent.

The city’s new prison warden, Nina Hobbs, is presenting a real challenge to Mike. Her approach is surprisingly simple: she’s strictly enforcing the rules. Mike can no longer drop in whenever he feels like it, and now needs to schedule appointments to meet with her. It’s a completely new idea for the prison – running things like a regular, organized office.

Over the first four seasons of Stranger Things, Eleven has matured significantly and learned to control her telekinetic abilities. Actress Millie Brown believes everything that’s happened so far has been building towards the show’s conclusion, and she’s particularly prepared physically for the challenges ahead. She feels the creators, the Duffer brothers, have been preparing her for this all along.

Viz Media announced on X (formerly Twitter) that the story of Assassin’s Creed Shadows is expanding with a new manga by reguje. Titled Assassin’s Creed Shadows: Tales of Iga Vol. 1 (or Assassin’s Creed Shadows – Iga no Monogatari Vol. 1 in Japanese), the manga will take place years before the game’s events and reveal new secrets and stories about popular characters.

Evan Oppenheimer’s film has intriguing elements, and at times, its vibrant purple visuals feel reminiscent of the show I Saw the TV Glow, hinting at a story about finding oneself. However, these moments are fleeting. The 90-minute movie ultimately feels slow and is hampered by awkward performances, uneven pacing, and a confusing story with two separate plots that barely connect.

Now that the movie Rebirth is available on Peacock, I decided to watch it again. While Jonathan Bailey, recently named ‘Sexiest Man Alive,’ is incredibly charming, his performance really elevates the entire film. Let’s take a closer look at what makes it work.

It’s tempting to think all great heroes are completely unique, but even the most iconic ones borrowed ideas from earlier stories. For example, Batman and Superman, two of the best-selling superheroes ever, were influenced by characters that came before them. Before comics became popular, there was a thriving world of pulp magazines, and many modern heroes – including some still well-known today – drew inspiration from those older tales.

Kim Kardashian has been pursuing a law career since 2018. After passing the challenging baby bar exam on her fourth attempt in 2021, she completed an alternative law program in May and took the full bar exam in August. She can continue retaking the bar as many times as necessary in California. Beyond her legal studies, Kardashian can also celebrate the financial success of her book, All’s Fair, though its critical reception remains a point of contention.

She performed really well, and the episode was a success! While it was clear throughout the night that Glaser didn’t have much experience with sketch comedy – there were a few mistakes – the show cleverly worked around this. They had her host two pre-taped digital shorts and cast her in roles where she played a more straightforward, supportive character in the group sketches.
