In a recent interview with LitRes, Russia’s leading digital book and audiobook platform, author Chugong explained the origins of *Solo Leveling: Ragnarok*. According to a translation by X user @SoloLevelingGuy, Chugong created *Ragnarok* as a way to let another author explore the world of *Solo Leveling*. The official web novel, written by Daul, concluded in July 2025 after 357 chapters, telling the story of Sung Jinwoo’s son, Sung Suho, and his battle against a new danger. Although the novel is finished, the webtoon adaptation is still being released.

Daredevil first appeared in his own comic book in April 1964. The character was inspired by an older, Golden Age hero with the same name—a deaf crimefighter originally set in New York City alongside Spider-Man. This version later moved to San Francisco and had a relationship with Black Widow before eventually returning to his roots in Hell’s Kitchen. The 1980s and 90s saw a particularly popular run of the comic by writer Frank Miller, which gave the series a darker, more mature feel. Even after Miller’s time with the character, Daredevil remained a consistent presence in Marvel’s publications, becoming one of their most regularly featured heroes.

When you think of iconic TV personalities, it’s impossible to leave out Judith Sheindlin – better known as Judge Judy. While she’s not an actress, the 82-year-old former family court judge is a true television star and a pioneer of the reality courtroom show format. She recently shared her opinions on the Diddy trial, proving she remains a prominent figure in pop culture.

The fourteenth season of the show kicked off with Mouch adjusting to his new role as lieutenant, which was made harder by Herrmann refusing to give up the office. While Herrmann had legitimate worries about losing income after stepping down as an officer, the main thing I took away from the premiere episode is that Mouch truly deserves to have the office all to himself.

I still crack up thinking about the DMV scene in *Zootopia*! It was such a brilliant part of the movie, they even used it in the trailers. Seeing Nick and Judy’s urgent investigation grind to a complete stop because *everything* moves at a sloth’s pace is just perfect. Nick telling a joke to Flash, and then watching Flash slowly process it before *very* slowly relaying it to his coworker… it’s honestly just as funny now as it was when I first saw the movie nearly ten years ago!

Hulu’s popular show, *Only Murders in the Building*, releases new episodes every Tuesday. Each week brings funny and memorable scenes with its fantastic cast. This week’s episode, the seventh of season five, was particularly special, featuring a favorite scene between Steve Martin and Selena Gomez, as chosen by one of the show’s creators.

A new theme park called RetroEscapes is coming to the Las Vegas area. While details like the precise location are still being worked out, the park’s concept seems like a perfect fit for theme park enthusiasts – and it really might be!

Even after four successful seasons, *Only Murders in the Building* continues to evolve while still maintaining familiar elements. The show consistently features murders that occur inside the Arconia building, and spends considerable time exploring the lives of the victims. The killers often share certain characteristics, and if Season 5 follows this pattern, Mayor Tillman seems an unlikely suspect. Someone else is much more likely to be revealed as the murderer, based on how the show has unfolded in previous seasons.

Here’s the latest on *Heat 2*: Amazon MGM Studios’ United Artists division is negotiating to take over the film from Warner Bros. Pictures. This is similar to what happened with the *Highlander* reboot, which Amazon MGM acquired from Lionsgate in May. Reportedly, Warner Bros. and director Michael Mann disagreed on the movie’s budget, so Warner Bros. allowed Mann to seek funding elsewhere.

Currently, “Tron: Ares” has a 57% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 58 reviews. While the film hasn’t been well-received, its score is a bit better than the 2010 film “Tron: Legacy” (which scored 51%). However, both are lower-rated than the original “Tron” from 1982, which has a 61% rating.
