When you think about it, it seems remarkable that humanity is still here. Over the last few hundred thousand years, the world has changed a lot, sometimes in ways that might seem difficult for evolution to keep pace with. Yet our species is remarkably resilient, repeatedly finding ways to survive changing conditions – through culture,
Disney has said that the long-running Kingdom Hearts franchise is now a $1 billion franchise spread across all the games. Disney’s executive vice president of global games, Sean Shoptaw, said that the series is now one of “nine games that have grossed over $1 billion at retail” and emphasised the importance of “telling truly original
At D23, Marvel boss Kevin Feige has explained why Spider-Man: Brand New Day was the right project for Sadie Sink’s Jean Grey to make her MCU debut. Sink’s role was shrouded in secrecy up until release, when it was finally revealed that her mystery role was indeed the X-Men character. “It all came out of
Disney has set a September 2 global streaming date for Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu on Disney+. That reps a long 103-day window between theatrical and streaming for the Jon Favreau-directed movie. The movie led the Memorial Day box office with a $167 million global start but wound up being the lowest-grossing live-action Star
Horror spent this week refusing to let anything stay dead. American Horror Story emptied its entire vault of villains onto one soundstage, Lionsgate went digging for a leprechaun it had buried years ago, and a girlfriend from a micro-budget slasher clawed her way out of the movie and into a theme park. Somebody is even

Out in deep, dark depths of space, electronics and fuel can still get hot – very hot. As plans are made for longer missions and more advanced tech systems, one of the key areas scientists want to understand better is what happens to ultra-cold, cryogenic liquids when they boil. These liquids are used as rocket
The tabletop world has seen no recent shortage of impressively large and robust board, miniature, and card games that carry a high price tag, but also deliver many hours of premium gameplay and storytelling. It’s somewhat less common to find games of that caliber that are also relatively easy to learn and play, even for
In Tangled, Mother Gothel sings a whole song about how “Mother Knows Best.” However, in the case of the live-action Tangled, I think we should be saying “[Fans] Know Best.” That’s because they totally manifested the role of Mother Gothel for Kathryn Hahn. Now, the Agatha All Along actress is addressing those folks who fancast
Well, Michael Myers may not be welcome in Australia, but you can’t kill the Boogeyman that easily.

Imagine filling a virtual room with 1,000 artificial intelligence (AI) agents and asking each one to choose between two meaningless options. There is no right answer. They receive no reward for agreeing, no instruction to cooperate, and no help from a leader. Yet some of today’s most capable AI agents can still end up making the same
Disney also shared some news about its ever-expanding life-sim adventure Disney Dreamlight Valley at D23 this week.

Marvel is on a roll right now, but the thing I’m most excited about is the upcoming X-Men movie. That’s right, step aside, Avengers: Doomsday, because the next chapter of the best mutants in media is coming, and I’ve gathered all the information that you need to know about it right here. For those of
Marvel Studios is assembling its cast of mutants to be in the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s X-Men, securing actors for some high-profile Marvel characters in the process.

Mike Gencarelli, the creator and director behind the new Jaws 4 documentary, The Shark That Roared, has a new project on the horizon. This time he is bringing the focus to an actor whose unexpectant recent passing overwhelmed audiences who grew up with his films; Sam Neill. Sam Neill, Jurassic Park (1993) Neill was best
Though they haven’t made a hit in 25 years, Sugar Ray has never really gone away in the minds of millennials like Julia Jacklin, who grew up on Mark McGrath and co.’s indelible late ‘90s alt-rock-and-pop blend. That’s why the Australian singer-songwriter decided to cover the band’s single “Every Morning” for Triple J. Check out

Once upon a time, a couple met, fell in love and settled down with zero complications . . . said no rom-com ever. A relationship with only smooth sailing will always fall a little flat. A good story needs tension, complexity, conflict. The characters need to work through serious issues so they earn their happy
By Howard Bloom To understand why we are going crazy, you have to understand a basic principle. Parents love to trash the technologies their kid’s flash. In the 1990s, gory, blood and guts videogames were booming. And adults blamed those games for the violence and crime in society. In 1992 and 1993 there were Senate
Jimmy Eat World are set to play a huge outdoor show at London’s Crystal Palace Bowl this weekend – check out the full stage timings below.

In a hidden cave on a small island off the coast of Sweden, a tragedy has lain buried for thousands of years.

Netflix has spent the last five years attempting to expand its chokehold on the film and television industry into the video game space, but it’s had limited success.

Nicole Kidman is a truly legendary actress, and the Oscar-winning star is basically constantly working on new TV and movie projects. Kidman’s best movies show off her many talents, so perhaps it shouldn’t be surprising that AMC Theaters asked her to be their spokesperson. And I am LOLing at her doing the iconic “heartbreak feels
Horror fans learn early to flinch at the words “Part 2.” We have been burned. The sequel usually means a smaller budget, a bigger body count that somehow matters less, and a killer who has stopped being scary and started being a mascot. We brace for diminishing returns because that is what the genre trains
