As a huge Persona fan, I’ve been checking out the Western YouTube channel for Persona 5: The Phantom X, and they’ve been dropping some awesome trailers for the P3R crossover! One trailer, in particular, caught my ear – it’s a jazzy remix of P3R’s battle theme, “It’s Going Down Now,” done in the style of P5X. It’s seriously cool!
The first episode tried to address the drama by jumping back and forth in time. It focused on a conversation between Kyle Cooke and Amanda Batula following the news that Amanda was dating West Wilson – Ciara Miller’s ex and a friend of Kyle’s – and cameras had to resume filming to capture it. However, instead of presenting events in order, the show immediately led with this conversation, knowing viewers wouldn’t have the patience for a chronological timeline. They prioritized grabbing attention over making sense of the order of events.
Richards is a master of physical comedy, famous for his incredible pratfalls. He’s uniquely able to get big laughs and applause simply by how he moves. He’s such a naturally gifted performer that the show’s writers didn’t need elaborate plots for his character, Kramer. They could give him a simple physical situation – like being a tennis ball boy or taking a karate class – and he’d effortlessly turn it into hilarious comedy.
Crypto analyst Merlijn The Trader believes Bitcoin’s current price movements are mirroring those of 2021. He’s identified six stages in that cycle, and three have already happened. According to his analysis, the next step will likely be another price drop for Bitcoin.
The two-part event consists of the films Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. Together, these movies concluded the “Infinity Saga” storyline in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, featuring a massive battle between Marvel’s heroes and the villain Thanos. Infinity War shows the Avengers trying to prevent Thanos from obtaining the Infinity Gauntlet, a powerful weapon he ultimately uses to eliminate half of all life. Endgame then focuses on the heroes’ efforts to reverse Thanos’s devastating victory.
At Motor City Comic Con, ScreenRant interviewed Selma Blair about her experiences filming Hellboy, the guidance she offered to the team behind Elle, and the profound effect that both her documentary, Introducing, Selma Blair, and her work with organizations like the American Brain Foundation have had on her life.
Over the years, many fantastic films like The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Spirited Away, Dazed and Confused, Moonrise Kingdom, and The Kings of Summer have explored what it’s like to grow up. While not every one of them was a hit with everyone, a few have become truly iconic. These ten movies stand out as the very best, proving their lasting appeal as timeless classics.
Honestly, I went into SNL UK not expecting much, but I’ve been really pleasantly surprised! It’s been a breath of fresh air for British comedy, seeing a bunch of newer comics just go for it and be genuinely weird and funny on live TV. Yes, Lorne Michaels is involved and they kept ‘Weekend Update,’ but it’s quickly found its own unique style. It’s not perfect – like the original SNL, sketches sometimes drag on a bit too long – but the first season really shines when it embraces British humor. Think Celeste Dring getting hilariously carried away with wine, Annabel Marlow perfectly capturing a Gen-Z take on Enid Blyton, or Emma Sidi’s character desperately trying to get the NHS to listen. Despite what you might think about British politeness, we’re actually full of quirky people, and the writers have been brilliant at finding those eccentricities and turning them into something really funny.
After a long build-up spanning almost 40 episodes, the season finale of The Boys, titled “Blood and Bone,” finally kills off the villain Homelander. Stripped of his powers by Kimiko, he desperately pleads for his life, but Butcher ultimately kills him with a crowbar in a brutal and graphic scene. While Antony Starr’s performance as Homelander has been consistently excellent and deserving of an Emmy, the show arguably waited too long to remove the character. It seems The Boys was hesitant to lose him and Starr’s compelling portrayal, extending his storyline beyond what the story – and the original comic books – needed. This resulted in a weaker ending, particularly by downplaying Butcher’s death in the comics and turning it into a minor plot point.
Betty Boop, much like Barbie, was a groundbreaking character when she first appeared, becoming one of the earliest animated female stars in movies. Pairing her with Kate Brunson feels right – they both represent iconic status and star power. The only downside is that we have to wait to see this project come to life, but hopefully, it will be worth it – maybe even big enough for the Imax screen!
