Crunchyroll’s 10th annual Anime Awards, held in Tokyo on May 23rd, named the final season of My Hero Academia as Anime of the Year. The popular superhero anime, created by Studio Bones and released in 2016, has been a favorite among anime fans worldwide for ten years. As My Hero Academia concludes, a new wave of series like Invincible, along with animated projects from DC and Marvel, are stepping up to compete with today’s top live-action superhero films and shows.

The film is built on a fascinating true story: the incredibly tense and crucial weather forecasting for D-Day. While another movie, the TV film Ike: Countdown to D-Day, touched on this subject, this script, by David Haig and Anthony Maras, focuses on the core drama. It centers on two opposing forecasting teams. On one side, you have the relaxed and confident American team, led by Colonel Irving Krick (Chris Messina), who have studied decades of weather patterns and predict clear skies for the invasion. Messina is fantastic as Krick, a character who’s had wartime success but is mostly known for accurately predicting the weather for the Atlanta fire scene in Gone With the Wind – a surprisingly true detail! Then there’s the reserved and difficult Stagg, who insists on working alone and keeps Krick out of his reports to Eisenhower and the generals. We soon learn his gruff exterior hides nerves and the pain of leaving his pregnant wife to take on this vital, secret mission.

As a movie buff, I’ve been really impressed with what Peacock offers. It doesn’t have a huge library like some streamers, but honestly, that’s a good thing – most of what’s on there is actually worth your time. You’ll find everything from newer, critically acclaimed films to all-time classics. Plus, Universal Pictures movies – the big blockbusters and everything – tend to land on Peacock pretty quickly after they leave theaters. And in a world where studios are holding onto their content tightly, Peacock is often the only place you can stream those iconic Universal franchises we all love.

The animated series reimagined classic X-Men stories, making some changes to the team roster. Alongside familiar faces like Cyclops, Storm, Jean Grey, and Wolverine, they introduced the new character Jubilee. They also brought in a lesser-known X-Man with shape-shifting abilities, a character with a compelling history that’s just as rich as his various comic book versions.

Okay, after watching season 2 of Hulu’s Deli Boys, it’s safe to say this show knows what it is. And what it is, is definitely not your typical crime thriller. Creator Abdullah Saeed has built something really distinct. You’ve seen this setup before – regular folks suddenly caught up in a world of crime – but Deli Boys isn’t trying to be just another entry in that genre. Even the first season, which really put the show on the map, had a special flavor, and season 2 doubles down on that originality.

I’m so excited! Netflix is getting all the Rocky movies starting June 1st! They’re adding the original Rocky from 1976, plus Rocky III, Rocky IV, Rocky V, and Rocky Balboa from 2006. It’s a little strange that Rocky II isn’t included yet, but maybe it’ll be added later. And that’s not all – the Creed movies are coming too, starting with the first one from 2015, and both Creed II and Creed III will be available as well. Perfect for a weekend marathon!

Several Pokémon cards released in the first half of 2026 are currently undervalued. These include three expansions from the Mega Evolution Base Set – Ascended Heroes (released in January), Perfect Order (March), and Chaos Rising (May). While each card currently sells for under $100, their impressive artwork suggests they have the potential to increase in value.

Using Lenya as a way to infiltrate and defeat the M-6 is a daring, yet ruthless plan. The M-6 would easily fall for his charming facade, believing he’s too arrogant to collaborate with rebels like the Marsies. They’ll eagerly accept any information he provides, all while Miles and his team at MOCC increase the oxygen levels in the command center. Despite Aleida’s desperate pleas for Miles to reconsider, she’s the only one objecting to what would essentially be mass murder.

This definitely qualifies as a major crisis, the kind the Yellowstone show is famous for. However, this setback for Beth and Rip is unusually large and happens very early in the season. In the first episode, their ranch burned down, and now, just four episodes later, their new operation has been devastated by foot-and-mouth disease. It makes you wonder what showrunner Chad Feehan has planned for the rest of the season, and what challenges are still to come.

Rick Deckard, played by Ford, is a Blade Runner – a specialized police officer who tracks down and eliminates rogue Replicants who have escaped to Earth. When a group of 4 to 6 Replicants appear in Los Angeles, Deckard is called upon to hunt them down. The film features thrilling chases, futuristic technology, and a visually striking, rain-soaked city, but also explores themes of morality. While Blade Runner is considered a classic science fiction film, some elements haven’t held up well after 43 years.
