AMC Theatres has unveiled a special edition popcorn bucket for the movie *Black Phone 2*, and fans are excited! The bucket is shaped like the creepy black rotary phone from the film and actually works – you can spin the dial. It even includes a headset that plays a recording of the villain, Grabber (played by Ethan Hawke), when you hold it to your ear.
I haven’t personally experienced anything related to space or UFOs, so I can’t really comment on that aspect of the show. However, it’s often easy to spot when something feels unrealistic. If the show hadn’t killed off Bobby Nash in a way that felt forced, I’d be willing to overlook its silliness. But the show made that choice, and I’m going to critique it accordingly. And the same goes for *9-1-1: Nashville* – it’s not getting a free pass either.
Even though you can currently stream *The Walking Dead* on Netflix, Pluto TV, and AMC+, it’s surprisingly been the most popular show on iTunes for the last three days. It’s outperformed shows that are currently airing, like *NCIS* (at No. 4), *FBI* (No. 6), and *Ghosts* (No. 9), as well as classics like *What’s New, Scooby-Doo?* (No. 2), *The Twilight Zone* (No. 3), and *Dexter* (No. 5). Created by Frank Darabont and based on Robert Kirkman’s comic book series, the show follows a group of people trying to survive a zombie apocalypse, constantly facing threats from both zombies—called “walkers”—and other surviving groups.
This feels like a crucial time for the Dragon Ball franchise, especially since the passing of its creator, Akira Toriyama, nearly two years ago. Fans have been curious about the future of the series, and we might find out what’s next at the beginning of the new year.
Netflix’s new military series is a hit with critics and viewers, but it’s facing opposition from the Pentagon. According to reports, a political appointee from the Trump administration labeled the show as unacceptable, and as a result, the Pentagon isn’t officially endorsing it.
The classic movie *Jaws* is celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2025 with a new documentary, but fans will soon have to find a new way to watch it and its sequels. *Jaws*, *Jaws 2*, *Jaws 3*, and *Jaws: The Revenge* are all leaving Netflix on November 15th, according to What’s on Netflix.
Ana de Armas, known for her roles in *No Time to Die* and *Knives Out*, will star in *Ballerina* (also known as *From the World of John Wick: Ballerina*). She plays a young, inexperienced killer seeking revenge for her father’s death. The film takes place between the events of *John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum* and *John Wick: Chapter 4*, and expands the universe of the *John Wick* franchise, offering a deeper look into the world of assassins.
The next *Dune* film, set twelve years after the events of *Dune: Part Two*, will bring back Timothée Chalamet as Paul Atreides, Zendaya as Chani, Florence Pugh as Princess Irulan, Jason Momoa as Duncan Idaho, Josh Brolin as Gurney Halleck, Rebecca Ferguson as Lady Jessica, and Anya Taylor-Joy as Alia Atreides. Joining the cast are Nakoa-Wolf Momoa as Leto II Atreides, Ida Brooke as Ghanima Atreides, and Robert Pattinson as Scytale, who will be the main villain in *Part Three*. Before *Dune* arrives in December, Pattinson will appear with Zendaya in the romantic comedy *The Drama*, scheduled for release in April 2026.
David Cage, founder of Quantic Dream, recently reassured fans that development on *Star Wars: Eclipse* is still underway. In a brief statement on the company’s blog, he said they look forward to sharing more details in the future. *Eclipse*, an action-adventure game set about 200 years before *The Phantom Menace* during the High Republic era, was originally revealed at The Game Awards in 2021.
I’m really excited about the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday movie – I know one of the writers, Waldron, worked on the script! He’s been a part of some amazing Marvel projects already. I loved his work on Loki and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, and I even heard he contributed to Thor: Love and Thunder and the early stages of The Fantastic Four: First Steps, though his name wasn’t officially listed on those. It’s great to see him involved in something this big!
