I’m really excited to hear that the team behind the successful adaptation of another Michael Connelly book is working on Welcome To Catalina! Apparently, it’s based on his latest bestseller, Nightshade, which came out in 2024. Knowing how well they did before, I have high hopes for this new crime drama.
The initial trailer for X-Men ’97 Season 2 hinted at several storylines from the comics. Some of these were likely just nods to longtime fans, while others could be important for the show’s overall plot. The reference to Wolverine #1 at the end of the trailer seems like a treat for dedicated viewers, and the appearance of villains like Exodus doesn’t necessarily signal a specific comic arc. However, other hints clearly point to several storylines from the comics that fans might enjoy revisiting before the season begins.
Okay, so I just read Batman #163, which is part of the Batman: H2SH storyline, and wow – Talia Al Ghul actually killed Hush! I did not see that coming.
I have to admit, I initially knew Zac Efron as the charming singer from High School Musical. But he really surprised me with his powerful and raw performance in The Iron Claw. It wasn’t just a critical success – it was a big hit for A24, and rightfully so. It’s exciting to see that he and A24 are already working together again, because that film proved he’s capable of so much more than just a song and dance.
The 2021 film Spider-Man: No Way Home was a special treat for fans, bringing together three different live-action Spider-Men – Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, and Tom Holland – on screen. Tom Holland will return as Spider-Man in the upcoming Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which will also feature Jon Bernthal as the Punisher, Mark Ruffalo as the Hulk, and other characters.
The true crime series Dirty John, which aired in 2018, will be removed from Netflix in just a few days, and it’s currently not available on any other streaming services with a standard subscription. It’s leaving on May 31st, so there’s only a short time left to watch it – especially Eric Bana’s excellent, but often overlooked, performance. Luckily, it’s a great show to watch over the weekend.
The original cast of Friday Night Lights is reuniting for a documentary to celebrate the show’s 20th anniversary, according to Deadline. They’ll be filming with the actors at the ATX TV Festival this year.
A24 has a remarkably interesting story, especially compared to most Hollywood studios. It’s become known for fostering bold creativity and supporting unique filmmakers, which has ultimately benefited moviegoers by giving them fresh and original stories.
I was totally hooked when they showed Tom Lizard after the Elio movie! It was just a quick peek at what’s coming in Hoppers, but it blew up online! Seriously, that little clip of him spamming the lizard emoji got over 300 million views and became the meme everyone was sharing. It was amazing to watch!
Honestly, when I first heard there might be more content for The Witcher 3, I kinda laughed. The game came out way back in 2015! But then the rumors started popping up, and leaks kept appearing online. Turns out they were true! CD Projekt Red just announced Songs of the Past, a brand new DLC coming in 2027. It’s super cool that they’re working with Fool’s Theory on it – they’re the same team making the Witcher remake, so they clearly know what they’re doing.
