Godzilla fans have had plenty to feast on in the past decade, with Legendary Pictures’ MonsterVerse producing five films and a pair of streaming series. But while Hollywood has come up with increasingly silly ways for its titans to fight, Japan’s Toho Studios still produced the smartest and best Godzilla film of this era — and it’s coming back to U.S. theaters in August. Originally released in Japan in 2016,...

After a universe-shaking season 4 finale on The Boys, it’s once again time for the kids of Godolkin University to step up to the plate. While Gen V’s second season won’t premiere until September, Amazon took to CCXP Mexico to give fans a look at the new season — and a little of how The Boys season 4 impacted the college-set spinoff. Here’s the official synopsis: As the rest of...

After a tease in Netflix’s One Piece season 2 announcement way back in September 2023, Tony Tony Chopper, the Straw Hats’ resident reindeer-doctor, has officially boarded the pirate ship. Netflix revealed the beloved sidekick’s “live-action” look during its 2025 Tudum stream. Netflix also announced that actor Mikaela Hoover (Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 3, July’s Superman) provided Chopper’s voice and motion-capture.

But by the time season 2 of HBO’s The Last of Us reached its finale, it became evident that the TV version of the games’ immune teen protagonist isn’t just an alternate interpretation. Ellie’s character from...

If you watch all the Mission: Impossible movies in order, a clear connecting narrative emerges. Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise), a patriotic, idealistic undercover agent, is betrayed both by his government and the mole within it. The team he trusts and relies on is killed, and he’s nearly taken into custody as a scapegoat. Disillusioned, he goes rogue, continuing to carry out crucial missions to save his country and the world,...

I have listened to Myst creator Rand Miller tell the tale of how he and his brother Robyn squeezed their 3D puzzling masterpiece onto a tiny CD-Rom back in 1993 many, many times and it always leaves my jaw on the floor. If you’ve experienced the thrill of venturing to the Mechanical Age and retrieving a few pages for Achenar, Miller’s anecdotes of developing the game on Mac’s rudimentary HyperCard...
