Vince Gilligan explains the long wait for Pluribus season 2.
Gothic horror was my starting point in the genre: reading Poe as a kid, attempting to read Byron's poetry, and becoming lost in dimly lit movies full of monsters, eerie castles, and tortured townsfolk. Of course, that definition of Gothic horror began to include other elements, exploring religious paranoia and folk cultures with pagan-like religions. These stories always feature a general fear that is hard to pinpoint, but you know it when you see it.
For those who can't wait for MobLand Season 2 to drop (even if it's only four weeks away), Starz has a hidden gem that's well worth checking out. It's a gritty, tense, and heavy crime drama that explores another side of the criminal underworld, one where the strong prove their worth on the street and in the boxing ring. The creator also thinks Yellowstone fans will dig his new series, but there's only one way to find out. It's hard to argue against that when the show is dominating the streaming chart.
Each installment of BioWare’s Mass Effect trilogy is ridiculously quotable and iconic. And, with choices astonishingly branching across all three games, it’s no wonder that Mass Effect is acclaimed as one of the best sci-fi RPG franchises ever.
The fantasy genre just wouldn't be what it is today if it weren't for J.R.R. Tolkien and George R.R. Martin. While every author who constructs fictional realities of magic and mysticism has had a hand in shaping this literary landscape, their names rarely become familiar in the mainstream. It takes absolutely revolutionizing the genre for an author's notariety to expand far beyond the literary world and into the realms of wider popular culture.

The Legend of Zelda turned 40 earlier this year, and despite a relatively quiet anniversary celebration from Nintendo, there have still been a few releases to get excited about for 2026. The biggest of these, of course, might just be the Ocarina of Time remake releasing in the latter part of this year, but there have been a few other releases sprinkled over the last few months now. While some have been officially from Nintendo, others have relied on fans.
No literary character has been adapted for movies and TV shows as often as Sherlock Holmes, who holds the world record for most on-screen portrayals (via Guinness World Records).

The decision to remake the Harry Pottermovies into a book-faithful TV show is controversial, but it's hard to ignore the opportunities it presents. As beloved as these original films are, the world of book-to-screen adaptations was very different in the early 2000s. Harry Potter was far more book-accurate than many other movies based on children's and young adult literature of the age, and that's really saying something. Said and done, Warner Bros' film franchise only had time to scrape the surface of Harry's canon story.
Sydney Sweeney made a name for herself in grounded, if not provocative, streaming series. The release of HBO's Euphoria and the debut of Season 1 of The White Lotus introduced her to major audiences, as she played characters that ignited a lot of debate among viewers. In quick succession, projects like Anyone But You highlighted her rom-com talents, which was followed by a superhero turn in Madame Web, leading to her major horror release Immaculate, but one glaring omission from her resume is sci-fi. Well, until now.

Warning! This article contains SPOILERS for HBO's Lanterns episode 1.Only the first episode of Lanterns has been released so far, but it is already easy to say that Kyle Chandler's version of DC's Hal Jordan is superior to Ryan Reynolds, even if one has an unfair advantage over the other. Reynolds is one of the most popular movie stars in the world. However, the actor was not able to make his DC foray a success.
Prime Video is home to a forgotten Stephen King TV show that gives Black Mirror a run for its money. The works of Stephen King have been the source of inspiration for many other artists for decades, and as such, many of them have been adapted to different media, sometimes more than once.

The fear of the unknown has long been a thematic staple of the cinematic sci-fi genre. Whether exploring the cosmos in 2001: A Space Odyssey, policing replicant androids in Blade Runner, or the choice between the red pill and blue pill in The Matrix, the best science fiction tales rely on the tension, suspense, and psychological unease of not knowing what lies ahead. Arguably John Carpenter's finest work, the 1982 masterpiece could be considered the best sci-fi movie ever made.
Jon Bernthal is having a great year with two blockbusters under his belt. He's established himself as a scene-stealing character actor, known for his intense, hard-edged roles like the Punisher in the MCU and Shane Walsh from The Walking Dead.

One of those films has now also beaten the best Lord of the Rings movie.
Considering that it first debuted back in 1999, Angel has aged incredibly well. Many iconic episodes still stand up today, remaining as entertaining and unsettling as any modern fantasy-horror series. Even after two decades, Angel’s best episodes prove just how foundational the Buffy the Vampire Slayer spinoff was for dark ambitious fantasy storytelling on the small screen.
45 years since the release of The Evil Dead, and the franchise is still going strong. Evil Dead Burn recently opened in theaters, and a new entry, Evil Dead Wrath, is set for release in 2028.

After the Red Dead series was first unveiled in 2004's Red Dead Revolver, Rockstar Games and PlayStation added to the story in 2010's Red Dead Redemption, which has become one of the most successful video game franchises of the century. Set during the decline of the American frontier in 1911, the story follows a former outlaw named John Marston, who sets out to bring some of his former gang to justice after his wife and son are taken hostage by the government in ransom for his services.

Despite their beloved source material, not all of Netflix’s live-action anime adaptations have been a resounding success, particularly Avatar: The Last Airbender. Avatar: The Last Airbender was meant to have the same kind of critical reception as Netflix's flagship fantasy series, One Piece, but it fell short of expectations.
Stephen King's eight-episode anthology series deserves more credit for adapting some of King's more difficult stories to take from the page to the screen. King isn't impossible to put on the screen, but it's probably harder than you may guess, considering just how many shows and movies there are based on his works.

Nicole Kidman is known for her best films like Eyes Wide Shut, Moulin Rouge and The Hours but, in recent years, she has also become known for being memed on the internet. From her bizarre reaction to Tweety Bird being brought up on a podcast to her very earnest AMC commercials that have inspired Halloween costumes, Kidman is one of the internet’s favorite reaction GIFs. Now. she's humorously discussing one of her most memed Oscars moments, and I love hearing her side of the story.
While one of Netflix’s best crime thrillers ever only had 19 episodes to tell its story, that was all the show needed to become an influential masterpiece of the genre.

There have been plenty of Agatha Christie screen adaptations, but Netflix’s recent take on one 1929 murder mystery novel of hers proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that many of them, like Kenneth Branagh’s Murder on the Orient Express, are making the same mistake over and over again. While Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes might have established the detective fiction genre, alongside Edgar Allan Poe’s influential short story “The Murders in the Rue Morgue,” there can be no doubt about whom the genre’s most important literary voice is.

Or is it honest vulnerability, uncertainty, and personal fallibility that allow a hero to confront their weaknesses and grow internally?

Just 14 years after Disney purchased Star Wars, the company has replaced Mark Hamill's Luke Skywalker.

I’m not going to pretend like Dwayne Johnson’s 2021 film Jungle Cruise is the best film the man's ever done. Movies about Disney rides in general don't have the best reputation, but I do think in this case the premise is really fun, and it could be even more fun in a sequel.

With the Avengers: Doomsday call sheet already bursting at the seams with Marvel stars of the past and present, the official rewatch guidance ahead of the movie's upcoming premiere strongly suggests the returning members of the X-Men legacy cast will have a very specific role to play.
