As a sci-fi fan, I’m really hooked on Apple TV+’s For All Mankind. It takes a fascinating ‘what if?’ approach to history, imagining how different choices could have dramatically changed the future. The show focuses on a consistent effort to colonize the moon, and eventually Mars, and honestly, it reminds me a lot of The Expanse. Both shows really explore that same kind of future – a future where humanity has expanded beyond Earth and is actively building a life amongst the stars. It’s cool to see that similar vision playing out in For All Mankind.

Okay, so Taylor just dropped some tour dates for 2026, and it looks like most of them are happening in June and July. But honestly, there are only two shows in the US! The first one is at BottleRock on May 23rd, which is awesome, and the other is part of a concert series out in Pennsylvania. I’m hoping she adds more US dates, but for now, those are the only two I know about!

Movie theaters have been facing unpredictable attendance lately, putting a lot of focus on new films in 2026. Luckily, the first half of the year has seen some big successes, and several promising blockbusters are scheduled for the summer. Films that were expected to do well are actually exceeding predictions, which suggests that overall box office numbers are starting to stabilize.

Niki is a highly skilled piano tuner working for New York City’s wealthiest residents. However, his unique talent extends to cracking safes, and he soon finds himself involved in a series of robberies that quickly escalate. “Tuner,” which premiered at the 2025 Telluride Film Festival, will be released in theaters just in time for Memorial Day.

Shows about the end of the world and its consequences are becoming increasingly popular, with critically acclaimed series like Prime Video’s Fallout and Apple TV’s Foundation. HBO’s The Last of Us, created by the same mind behind Chernobyl, is another success story. But one often-overlooked sci-fi show from this trend brilliantly combines the setting of The Last of Us with the epic scope of HBO’s Game of Thrones.

At the end of Daredevil: Born Again season 2, Daredevil successfully pressured Wilson Fisk into stepping down from his position, giving up his American citizenship, and leaving the country. However, Matt Murdock himself was arrested and sent to prison, which will be the starting point for the show’s third season, currently being filmed. The comics have previously explored Murdock’s imprisonment, and season 3 of Daredevil: Born Again is expected to draw inspiration from several different comic book storylines.

This afternoon around 2 p.m. Eastern Time, people noticed Kendrick Lamar’s latest album had disappeared from Apple Music.

Created in 1974 by Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson, Dungeons & Dragons has become a cornerstone of the fantasy genre’s culture. Starting as a tabletop role-playing game, it has since grown to include online versions and inspired a vast amount of related content, such as novels, films, and animated series.

The band is finally releasing a new album, Cursum Perficio, on September 18th. The name comes from an inscription found at Marilyn Monroe’s final home. But don’t expect anything like a ballad – this is still Anthrax, so it’ll be their signature sound!

As a critic, I’m watching Daredevil: Born Again carry a lot of weight for Marvel’s plan to reconnect with its Netflix roots. Initially, it seemed like just Charlie Cox as Daredevil and Vincent D’Onofrio as Kingpin were coming back, but now it’s become clear they’re bringing in a whole host of familiar faces – heroes, villains, and supporting characters – from that earlier run of Marvel shows. It’s a much bigger reunion than we first thought, and it’s exciting to see those actors getting another chance in the MCU.
