Netflix’s Cyberpunk: Edgerunners is set in Night City, a futuristic city that used to be part of California. The show follows David Martinez, a young and reckless teenager who turns to a life of crime as a tech-enhanced mercenary after facing a major loss. It’s quickly become one of the most popular shows on the streaming platform.
The new FX show, similar to the Image Comics series it’s based on, features a sexually transmitted disease that makes people incredibly attractive, but ultimately leads to a gruesome death. Like the film The Substance from 2024, the show also presents the disease as a kind of miracle cure. However, that’s just the beginning of how much the show deviates from the original comic book.
I’m so excited to hear that Gad will be starring in Gerron’s Last Film! It’s a really powerful story – the film will tell the true story of Kurt Gerron, a Jewish actor and director who was tragically forced to create a propaganda film for the Nazis. I know Simon Curtis is directing, which is fantastic, and it’s great that CAA Media Finance, WME Independent, and Rocket Science are all involved in getting this film out to audiences. Filming is set to start in the third quarter of 2026, and I can’t wait to see it!
Many popular horror series focus on slashers, and the most famous horror villains often target groups of teenagers who are reckless or making poor choices. In a Violent Nature introduces a new slasher villain, but tells the story in a unique and unexpected way.
Both Skyfall and No Time to Die received a lot of positive attention – Skyfall for being a fun and lighthearted addition to the series, and No Time to Die for its moving and conclusive ending. However, Quantum of Solace and Spectre weren’t as well-received. While the criticism of Quantum of Solace was probably fair, Spectre might be worth revisiting.
Talk of a second Heart Eyes movie – the first one came out in 2025 and blended horror with comedy – is circulating, but the filmmakers haven’t officially confirmed it yet.
The show Younger might face a similar fate of being overlooked despite its quality. Created by Darren Star, a major force in television, it originally aired on TV Land for seven seasons – making it the network’s longest-running original series, and deservedly so. With a talented cast and a smart story, Younger is genuinely enjoyable and worth watching all at once. Now that it’s available on Netflix – launching for U.S. viewers in early 2025 and in Canada since December 2025 – it’s a great time to catch up before it leaves the platform.
Starting February 1, 2026, viewers will no longer be able to stream Speed, Midsommar, Misery, and the new Planet of the Apes movie on HBO Max.
The fourth episode of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy explains that a catastrophic event called The Burn caused dilithium reactors on the Klingon homeworld, Qo’noS, to explode, effectively destroying the planet. This left the Klingons on the brink of extinction, forcing them to become refugees scattered across the galaxy. Despite their desperate situation, the Klingons were too proud to accept assistance from the United Federation of Planets.
I’ve been following the protests closely, and it’s amazing to see how quickly they’ve spread. It all started with students at the University of Minnesota calling for action after recent events involving ICE agents in the state, and people all over the country have really responded. I’m hearing that this “National Shutdown” could even affect TV and movie filming on Friday, and I’ll be keeping an eye on how things develop and will share any updates I find.
