As a huge Final Fantasy fan, I’ve seen so many characters over the years – especially if you include all the MMOs! But honestly, there are only a few that really stand out as the best.

The film Michael is a major release this year, generating both huge excitement and considerable debate. It’s a beautifully made and well-acted story about a pop music icon, and stands out as one of the stronger musician biopics since the success of Bohemian Rhapsody.

While it’s a visually stunning and incredibly enjoyable film with a fantastic soundtrack, it feels restrained and it becomes noticeable that key parts of the story are being left untold.
The new animated series, Stranger Things: Tales From ‘85, is the first spin-off from Stranger Things, and it reveals something Dustin regrets from the original show.

Because it’s considered official canon, Tales From ‘85 adds to the established storyline and fills in gaps between seasons.

These memorable lines are a key reason why the films are so beloved.
