It’s been a month since Netflix’s K-Pop Demon Hunters took the internet by storm, thrusting us into a world of, well, demon-hunting K-Pop music. The fever is not subsiding; at the time of writing, the film is still number one on the streaming platform’s top 10 most-streamed movies list, while the fictional bands that provide its music, HUNTR/X and Saja Boys, are dominating global music charts on services like Spotify...

Eddie Alcazar loves cartoons from the ’90s. Ren & Stimpy, Rocko’s Modern Life, the contorted nightmares of MTV’s Liquid Television — you name it, he’s seen it. Maybe not that unique, but unlike the rest of us animation fiends who dream of the days of painted backgrounds and hand-drawn gross-out gags, Alcazar did something about it. Bullet Time, his new TV pilot premiering at the 2025 Fantasia Fest, is a...

That narrative conceit seems pointless, given that everything in the...

The Misadventures of Sirfetch’d & Pichu is coming in 2027, and it’ll be a hoot based on the brief new footage shared during Tuesday’s Pokémon Presents livestream. In the few seconds shared by Aardman Studios founder Peter Lord, a Wooloo is visible in the foreground as it chews some grass. In the background, a Sirfetch’d is running around with a Pichu, seemingly in some sort of wild conflict. It’s stop...

Elle Fanning is no stranger to sci-fi or aliens in general, but this time it looks like she’s bitten off more than she can chew as the Weyland-Yutani android Thia in the upcoming Predator: Badlands. The last live-action Predator film, Prey, took us far into the past, with Comanche warrior Naru (Amber Midthunder) discovering a deadly alien threat to her people. By using a setting that was far from what most...

The franchise’s latest release, Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle, has broken all box office records during its Japanese weekend release, surpassing Mugen Train’s weekend gross (¥4.6...

James Gunn’s Superman, starring David Corenswet, is finally in theaters, and it’s a big hit at the box office, earning back most of its $225 million production budget in its first weekend. The jubilation and excitement of the movie may have fans coming home wanting to dive into every Superman adaptation they can get their hands on, but none will scratch the itch quite like Adult Swim’s animated series My...
