HBO has become known for consistently delivering high-quality TV shows with exceptional casting choices.

In fact, the strength of some TV ensemble casts is so remarkable that they sometimes become more memorable than the shows themselves.
Dan Levy is a proven talent in front of and behind the camera, with a rare Emmy win in writing, directing, and acting.

Arcane tells the story of an uprising by the common people from the lower world against their powerful rulers. Altered Carbon is a prime example of cyberpunk, using a fast-paced, gritty detective story to examine a future where the very rich can live forever by transferring their consciousness into new bodies.

Okay, so I just saw this movie starring Scarlett Johansson as Jess, a woman about to get married and a rising political star. The setup is simple: she has a wild bachelorette weekend in Miami with her college friends, and things get very out of hand. We’re talking a night of partying, a bit too much alcohol and… well, let’s just say a male stripper is involved. But the fun doesn’t last. When the stripper suddenly dies, the girls are thrown into a panic, desperately trying to cover it up before it destroys Jess’s career and her future. It’s a frantic, often hilarious, and surprisingly tense ride.
The 1970s saw the beginnings of iconic anime series like Tomorrow’s Joe, Future Boy Conan, Galaxy Express 999, and the very first installments of Mobile Suit Gundam and Lupin the Third, both of which are still popular today.

Dickinson is right. Rock and roll is a vibrant, energetic, and rebellious art form – it doesn’t feel like something that belongs behind glass in a museum.

Kathryn Newton confirmed in a video on her X account that she’ll be returning as Cassie Lang in Avengers: Doomsday. Her brief appearance in yesterday’s CinemaCon trailer was a surprise, as she hadn’t been previously announced as part of the cast back in early 2025. Marvel Studios has since given her a specially-sized chair with her name on it. Newton’s addition to Doomsday—which also stars Paul Rudd as her on-screen father, Scott Lang—is a great one. You can see her announcement in the post below.
