Wow, 2023 was packed with Stephen King movies and shows, and The Running Man was the last one to come out, hitting theaters on November 11th. Honestly, it didn’t do well at first and quickly moved to digital release in December. But things really turned around once it landed on Paramount+ in January! Now it’s even available on Prime Video, which is awesome – I’ve been checking the numbers on FlixPatrol and it’s clearly finding its audience now.

It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia is a hilarious and often shocking comedy series. It centers around a group of friends who own a failing Irish pub in South Philadelphia. They’re all pretty terrible people, and their attempts to improve things always backfire, leading to chaotic and ridiculous situations.

Many films have struggled because they came out alongside similar movies, preventing them from succeeding in theaters. But horror movies often have a different story – a film’s lasting impact isn’t always tied to how well it performs at the box office.

Great news, One Piece fans! Chapter 1181 is officially confirmed for next week! But while we wait, there’s still so much to talk about from the latest chapter, 1180 – “Omen”! Seriously, Imu’s attacks in that chapter were incredible – just unbelievably powerful and relentless. It’s got everyone buzzing!

Currently, Shelby Oaks is the sixth most popular movie on Hulu, quickly gaining traction after only a day of streaming. Released on October 24, 2025, the film earned about $8.1 million in theaters. Despite being made on a small $1 million budget, Shelby Oaks received mixed reviews from critics, earning a 55% score on Rotten Tomatoes. However, many viewers enjoyed it as a found footage horror film.

During Disney’s presentation, Marvel Studios’ Kevin Feige discussed a surprising link between the character Doomsday and a past Avengers movie. His comments have revealed a significant issue within the current Multiverse Saga.

A new trailer for Dragon Ball Super: Beerus has been released, hinting at the return of Frieza, a storyline first explored in the 2015 film Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection ‘F’. The classic Dragon Ball anime series also announced it will continue with future installments at the Dragon Ball Games Battle Hour 2026 event, which is happening this weekend, April 18th and 19th.

Elizabeth Banks played Effie Trinket in all four Hunger Games films, released between 2012 and 2015. Effie is the escort for Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) and Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) after they’re chosen to compete in the Games. Initially portrayed as superficial and believing in the prestige of the Games, Effie ultimately joins the rebellion and becomes a supporter of Katniss.

Both of Vince Gilligan’s popular shows feature not only imperfect heroes, but also truly awful villains. We see this with characters like the cruel Salamanca family and the seemingly respectable, yet corrupt, Gus Fring. Some viewers even see Walter White’s wife, Skyler, as an obstacle to his ambitions. However, when it comes to who’s most responsible for all the trouble in both series, the blame largely falls on Jimmy McGill’s brother, Chuck, brilliantly portrayed by Michael McKean.

As a huge Star Trek fan, I’ve always loved how the original series used futuristic stories to talk about real-world issues. Episodes like “Let That Be Your Last Battlefield” really made you think about prejudice, and “A Private Little War” felt like a clear message about the Vietnam War. So many episodes just dug deep into what it means to be human. It’s amazing looking back at those episodes now and seeing how much progress we’ve made with things like inclusion and diversity – they were surprisingly ahead of their time! But honestly, the Star Trek episodes about artificial intelligence and how it can be misused feel especially relevant and a little scary in 2026.
