The Better Sister , based on the book by Alafair Burke, premiered on Amazon Prime on May 29, 2025. It follows the investigation of the brutal murder of high profile lawyer Adam Macintosh (Corey Stoll) and the devastating impact it has on his family: wife Chloe (Jessica Biel), son Ethan (Maxwell Acee Donovan), and ex-wife, who also happens to be Chloe's sister Nicky (Elizabeth Banks). While the police arrest Ethan for the crime, the truth is far more complicated. The eight-episode series explores themes of sibling rivalry, domestic violence, public perception versus private existence, and what it means to be an unreliable narrator.  We touched base with Bobby Naderi, who played police officer Matt Bowen, one of the detectives investigating Adam's murder. He discusses the role of generational trauma in the way his character relates to the others, especially in how it impacts the view of the father/son dynamics at play between Ethan and Adam, as well as the challenges of shooting a show with so many twists and turns and playing a character with a fascinating “duality”.  Watch the full interview on YouTube: © Amazon MGM About The Better Sister Release Date:  May 29, 2025 Executive Producers: Olivia Milch, Regina Corrado, Craig Gillespie, Jessica Biel, Elizabeth Banks, Marty Adelstein, Becky Clements, Alissa Bachner, Kerry Orent, Annie Marter, Michelle Purple Directors: Craig Gillespie (101), Leslie Hope (102/103), Azazel Jacobs (104), Dawn Wilkinson (105/106), Stephanie Laing (107/108) Production: Tomorrow Studios and Amazon MGM Studios Distribution:  Prime Video Cast: Elizabeth Banks, Jessica Biel, Corey Stoll, Kim Dickens, Maxwell Acee Donovan, Bobby Naderi, Gabriel Sloyer, Gloria Reuben, with Matthew Modine, and Lorraine Toussaint.

Sources tell Nexus Point News that The Punisher special is set to begin shooting in mid-July and continue through the first week of August in New York. This would be following Daredevil: Born Again  season 2’s shoot which is expected to wrap in the next few weeks, allowing Bernthal to move directly from Daredevil: Born Again  into The Punisher special. Plot details are currently under wraps but it is likely to follow Frank Castle as he escapes Wilson Fisk’s private prison. In May, insider DanielRPK reported that a female crime boss was being cast for the special. NPN can corroborate this rumor as casting for this character is currently underway. Character details hint at this crime boss being Punisher villain, Ma Gnucci. Reinaldo Marcus Green and Bernthal are writing the special and Green is set to direct. This marks the third Marvel Studios Special Presentation for Disney+, following the release of Werewolf by Night and The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special . This will mark Bernthal’s fourth appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe following Daredevil , The Punisher , Daredevil: Born Again . Bernthal’s Punisher will be making his feature film debut in Spider-Man: Brand New Day  on July 31, 2026 after he appears in season 2 of Daredevil: Born Again  season 2 and the Punisher special, earlier in 2026. The Punisher special is set to premiere in 2026 on Disney+ as part of Phase Six of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Apple TV+’s sci-fi adaptation Murderbot does something clever by giving us a show within a show: The Rise & Fall of Sanctuary Moon . This in-universe series is a space soap opera that feels like a mashup of Star Trek and How to Get Away With Murder . As we follow the titular Murderbot, we’re also drawn into the dramatic storylines of Sanctuary Moon that is complete with its own theme song and an impressively cast ensemble. The lineup includes John Cho as the Captain, Clark Gregg as the Lieutenant, DeWanda Wise as NavigationUnit, and Jack McBrayer as the Navigation Officer. Nexus Point News spoke with DeWanda Wise about stepping into the wonderfully over-the-top world of Sanctuary Moon, shows within shows, and how playing a sentient NavigationUnit let her flex both her comedy and sci-fi muscles. Demet: Hi, how are you doing today? DeWanda: Well, how are you doing? Demet: I'm great, thank you! First of all, how did you get involved in this project? DeWanda: I had worked with Paul on Fatherhood . He literally texted me and was like, "do you want to play a murderous robot?" Demet: So what was your reaction when you realized you'd be playing a character in a show within a show that's deliberately a melodramatic sci-fi soap opera? DeWanda: It's so funny: show within the show. I have a nerdy actor list of things I wanted to do and roles I wanted to play, and I'm obsessed with show within the show. I'm crazy about show within a show, especially when it's really well done and it's integral to how we understand one of the main protagonists in the actual story. There's just nothing better, and obviously playing with such iconic comedians, I knew it was just going to be a few days of great play. Demet: Were there challenges to intentionally acting more theatrical or cheesy for this role? DeWanda: No, I think we all played it. We all have whatever comedic sensibilities that we're coming in with, but there's a balance. Paul is really good for that, if anything, when I first came in, I was playing the AI version far more robotic, and he was like, "no, let's bring it back to naturalism." So I think in order for you to really feel like this is a show that this guy takes seriously and he thinks is high art, we had to play it seriously and then trust that the costumes, the wardrobe, the sets, all the other elements and all the technical elements would do their job. Oh my gosh, that song... The theme song is so good, it's brilliant. So for the most part, it is just a natural comedy muscle. © Apple TV+ Demet: Yeah. It looks amazing and it looks so fun. There's this romantic arc too, and some revenge... It was so, so cool to watch. DeWanda: So yeah, I feel like we've been deprived of John's role in romantic lead roles... So it's fun if it's only pretend. Demet: Yeah, so what was the vibe on set like when you were filming The Sanctuary Moon? Was it just as ridiculous and fun as the final product? DeWanda: Yes, it absolutely is ridiculous. I mean, those steps were absurd. We were absolutely trying not to ruin takes with laughter. There's a moment — and it's super brief —where they were just like, "OK, and now there's motion, you guys can do whatever you want." And so just watching everyone — Jack McBrayer's dance and Greg's dance — it was really funny. It was a lot of fun. Demet: Would you ever want to take on a role like Navigation Unit, but in a real earnest sci-fi series, not just as a parody? DeWanda: Maybe... When I think of like Star Trek , like Sonequa Martin-Green's character and how she [was], it kind of evolved from it being more robotic to having a greater emotional arc. I could see something like that being possible, but it would have to kind of be very similar to Murderbot [in the sense that it] discovers human feelings because I'm a feeling person. Demet: Yeah, did you get to read the books by the way? DeWanda: Oh, of course! Demet: Everyone did, I guess. DeWanda: Yeah, of course. The fun thing about Sanctuary Moon specifically is that [Murderbot] loves the series. That's very clear in Martha Wells' novellas, but they don't describe it. So Paul and Chris really had a wide open playground to construct this sci-fi soap opera that [Murderbot] loved so much. They really could do whatever they wanted. And I think what's great about it is the show Sanctuary Moon really honors the tone, and the intention of the novellas. Demet: I agree! So you've got two intriguing projects coming up, Killing Faith and Killer Bee , both with killing .... That's a nice streak for you. So what can you say about those roles? DeWanda: That's really funny! Thank you for drawing that line that I did not draw for myself. That's really funny. I think something that really is a through line to my work is that there's kind of a mix of genres, and both of those are not different. Killer Bee is still in development. We're still in the script phase, and it's equal parts action comedy. And then Killing Faith was... Man, I read that script and I was like, "can we shoot this tomorrow?" It's historical, thriller, western... You know what I mean? There's also like a bit of a spiritual psychological horror there. It's a beautiful big swing. Working with Guy Pearce and Bill Pullman, I think we crafted something really special and very unexpected. Demet: That's exciting! And beyond those, is there anything else on the horizon you're excited about? Any more killing roles? DeWanda: That's hilarious! Nothing that's been announced. Sign of the times... Sometimes you gotta choose violence. Demet: Yeah, it was great talking with you. Thank you so much for taking your time. DeWanda: Thank you. This is a lot of fun.

This article contains spoilers for 'Poker Face' season 2, episode 10. It’s safe to say that Poker Face  has never shied away from the absurd and this week, the series goes to extreme lengths to weird out its audience. In the tenth episode of Season 2, "The Big Pump", writer Raphie Cantor sends Charlie into a murder mystery with breast milk at its centre. Directed by Clea DuVall, the episode brings together a stacked guest cast: Cliff “Method Man” Smith as the gym owner Brick, Jason Ritter as the health inspector Rodney, Natasha Leggero as a milk thief named Lil, and the return of Patti Harrison from episode nine as Charlie’s neighbour, Alex. The premise is uncomfortably bonkers. Rodney is a frequent gym goer, looking to make some gains before he rekindles with a bully at a reunion. Jealous of other men at the gym who improve session by session, he goes to Brick asking for the enhancements the latter sells. However, what he doesn’t know is that the enhancements are not protein supplements. Instead, it’s breast milk that Brick’s wife, Lil, steals from her workplace for her husband to redistribute as a muscle-building supplement. It’s grotesque, unethical, and, apparently, also quite effective. Due to money troubles and bearing too much pride, Brick initially considers letting Rodney in on the operation. Adamant that he won’t receive help from Lil’s father to save his business, he agrees to give Rodney the ‘good’ stuff. Unfortunately for Rodney, he soon changes his mind upon learning that he’s a health inspector for the city. To still make a dime, he gives Rodney other questionable powder instead. The cover is soon revealed when the inspector picks up another man’s bottle, smells it, and realises what it is. In true Poker Face fashion, this all leads to a confrontation. Rodney accuses Brick of stealing from babies and threatens to expose him. Both men respond violently, with Rodney dead, seemingly in an act of self-defence, though Brick certainly knew what he was doing towards the end. He quickly covers it up, claiming Rodney died alone during a late-night bench press gone wrong. © Peacock Charlie, meanwhile, is still holed up in her New York flat, nursing a neck crick and trying her best not to get involved. When Alex, lonely and in need of a friend, drags her to the gym for her neck pain, things inevitably unravel when the pair agree to sign on for a 7-day free trial. We return to the hours before Rodney’s death, when the pair three meet after he rescues Alex from trouble with a bench press. Naturally, when they receive the news that the health inspector died from a solo late-night bench press mishap, Alex is piqued. This is, after all, the same Rodney who insisted you should never bench without a spotter. As Alex pesters Brick with questions and Charlie reluctantly sleuths on the side, the tension escalates. Brick, increasingly desperate, traps Charlie in a sauna turned up to deadly levels, covers up the window, and clears out the gym under the guise of a gas leak. It’s a tense, if slightly ridiculous, sequence, especially since I couldn’t stop questioning why no one ever considers CCTV in this show’s universe. Still, seeing Charlie try to burn calories in the sauna just so Alex can track her smartwatch activity is entertaining. The climax goes full action-comedy as kettlebells are hurled, and truths are revealed. Lil turns up just in time for Brick to confess his crime and for our new duo to escape death. The episode ends on a bittersweet note as Charlie praises Alex for her honesty, a moment of rare vulnerability for our otherwise guarded protagonist. The two share real chemistry, and you can’t help but root for their unlikely friendship, even if something may be amiss there. Watch your back, Cale. "The Big Pump" is Poker Face  at its most silly, but unfortunately, marks another dip in quality. Still, two episodes remain to impress.

It’s summer, and there’s almost a huge new release every week through this week until August. It wouldn’t be a summer blockbuster if there weren’t a few horror movies sprinkled throughout. M3GAN crosses the thin line of what constitutes a horror movie, and M3GAN 2.0 feels like it completely gets rid of the horror aspect. It’s campier than ever, takes all the batshit insanity from the first film multiplied by 100, and the iconic M3GAN (Amie Donald) returns with her killer moves that could only be described as "cunty", which I’m sure she would agree with herself. With no competitors like Chucky or Annabelle around, M3GAN is the next doll that could really take the spotlight, and while this film is far from a masterpiece, it makes a solid argument for why it should be a franchise.  After the events of M3GAN , it’s discovered that M3GAN’s code has been leaked and used to create a military-grade weapon called AMELIA (Ivanna Sakhno), which goes rogue in an attempt to annihilate its creators, which include Gemma (Allison Williams). With Cady (Violet McGraw) in danger, M3GAN returns from the dead with a few upgrades to defend her and take down the rogue AI.  The release of the first M3GAN brought laughs to its audience, and she was quickly a character that people fell in love with. What no one expected was for the film to get a sequel with a spin-off already on the way. M3GAN 2.0 links itself back to the first film as we get to see the consequences of Kurt (Stephane Garneau-Monten) selling the blueprints to an unknown buyer. This movie reveals all with that deal, and AMELIA is not a threat to be taken lightly.  © Universal Pictures This film steers away from the kills compared to the first, as it continuously cuts away as people are getting killed. Every once in a while, we do get to see some brutal killings, such as the opening scene where we see AMELIA take someone’s head clean off their body with just a punch, which not only highlights how dangerous she is but also the absurdity of M3GAN 2.0 . As lethal as AMELIA can be, she never reaches the level of creepiness of M3GAN, and the film begins to lose what little horror aspect that it had. It also doesn’t help when a robot that’s gone rogue feels one-dimensional in comparison to M3GAN, who runs laps around her.  If M3GAN was taking inspiration from The Terminator, it only made sense that their sequel would take inspiration from Terminator 2: Judgement Day, with M3GAN now having to face a killer robot that is much more lethal than she has ever been. If that wasn’t enough for Gemma, Cady and M3GAN to deal with, there’s the risk of a complete AI takeover. From what used to be a sci-fi horror, M3GAN 2.0 fully embraces its sci-fi aspects, solely becoming just a sci-fi action movie when you look at it for what it really is. While an interesting and respectable direction for Gerard Johnstone to take, it does bring that risk of M3GAN losing her identity and the question of who the target audience is for this film.  Allison Williams gets a lot more to work with in M3GAN 2.0 and finally gets a little bit more involved in the action. After the aftermath of M3GAN’s destruction, Gemma has become an advocate against the use of AI and the dangers it can bring upon the world, which introduces hysterical characters such as Altman (Jermaine Clement), who’s a hilarious addition to the cast. The character, a womaniser who doesn’t know any better, is trying to push an AI device connected to their head that has the ability to provide mobility to an immobile person, such as himself.  Violet McGraw has aged with the role of Cady, delivering another great performance. She’s following in the footsteps of Gemma, and unlike her aunt, understands M3GAN better than anyone. The movie really leans into second chances and plays around with the character’s trust in someone who previously harmed them, but it makes the point that just because you do a bad thing, it doesn’t make you a bad person.  M3GAN’s reintroduction into the film is handled beautifully and hilariously as she reveals that she’s been alive the entire time, having access to Gemma’s entire house and taking out FBI agents with counter drawers, a Roomba, dispensing ice from a fridge and so much more, which is the first of many creative action scenes. There’s so much to love about M3GAN, and it’s proven by Jenna Davis’ voice work alone for the character, as she retains that charismatic, cocky and manipulative behaviour no matter what form she’s in. She’s the star of her own film and easily remains the highlight from her reappearance until the end.  © Universal Pictures M3GAN 2.0 ’s messages of the danger of AI when you dive in too deep and second chances are the driving forces of this entire film. Its story is unfortunately not as coherent as the first film, which felt much tighter. There’s no doubt that M3GAN 2.0 will be the most fun you’ll have in the cinema and is a must-watch with friends, but outside of its chaotic energy throughout with outrageously hilarious comedy, action sequences that keep you engaged with its stylish camera work and finally an icon such as M3GAN herself who has great chemistry with every character she comes across, this is still evidently a movie way out of its depth when it comes to creating that perfect balance. M3GAN 2.0 is extremely self-aware of what type of film it is, and as long as they keep that in mind, staying in their lane, M3GAN is a franchise that could bring enjoyment for years to come. Rating: ★★★ ☆☆ © Universal Pictures About M3GAN 2.0 Premiere Date:  June 27, 2025 Director: Gerard Johnstone Producers: Jason Blum, James Wan, Allison Williams, Michael Clear Writers: Gerard Johnstone, James Wan, Akela Cooper Production: Atomic Monster, Blumhouse Productions, Universal Pictures Distribution: Universal Pictures Cast: Jenna Davis, Allison Williams, Violet McGraw, Amie Donald Synopsis: When a defense contractor weaponizes M3GAN’s technology to build a deadly android named Amelia, inventor Gemma recognizes the urgent danger. To counter this threat, she reactivates M3GAN with critical upgrades, boosting her power, agility, and lethality, ensuring she can stand against the advanced military-grade counterpart now threatening global security.

Marvel Television's Ironheart is a satisfying reintroduction to the MCU's Riri Williams. The new series on Disney+ gives her the room to lead her own adventure and show the world the iron she is made of. Following the events of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever , Ironheart takes us to Chicago with Riri/Ironheart, where she is dealing with the unfortunate fallout of her business deals. Her brilliance and desperation land her in the hands of a supernaturally gifted criminal mastermind known as The Hood. She joins his crew to further her ambitions in the harsh world but quickly regrets it as sinister forces become increasingly present in her life. The Hood may be the face of evil, and Ironheart can't live with herself if he hurts her loved ones. Completely out of her element, our girl Riri must figure out how to fight magic with science before it is too late. Ironheart is a pleasant surprise that succeeds in delivering a fresh, rich story about science versus magic. The writers juggle science fiction with supernatural fantasy in one hand and superhero shenanigans and heist action in the other, never losing focus on our hero's journey. Dominique Thorne radiates charisma, confidence, and unapologetic pride as Ironheart. She commands the screen with purpose and grace, with a magnetic ensemble cast behind her. Ironheart Behind The Armor © Marvel The series stands out among Marvel Television's offerings on Disney+. Coming to think of it, the series stands out among superhero titles in general. Ironheart is not a hero with the immediate desire to fight for the greater good, a brooding anti-hero out for vengeance, or a reluctant hero refusing their destiny. She is a young, brilliant black woman who aspires to make a name for herself and make her family proud. Society's prejudice towards her can motivate her to work harder and smarter, but it also provokes her to make questionable decisions. Aside from family, her intellect is her biggest motivation. If she stumbles on a problem, her immediate resolve is to solve it. The series progresses naturally along with her thought process, gradually reflecting life in Chicago as a Black woman to someone who needs to find a way out of a catastrophic situation. The superhero element that pits technology against magic is not only icing on the cake but a testament to what she is capable of, and a masterclass in subverting expectations. There Is Dark Magic In The Air © Marvel To think that Riri went from helping Wakandans protect their kingdom from Talokanil, to fighting a criminal lord wearing a magic hood is crazy to think about, but this is the MCU. Stranger things have happened. Jokes aside, the clash between technology and sorcery raises goosebumps. By the time you see the second episode, you realize that the superhero show is also a supernatural thriller dipping its toes deeper and deeper into horror. Anthony Ramos as Parker Robbins, aka the Hood, is terrifying. In the course of the season, he descends from charismatic to insane, then completely demonic. His acting, complemented by the writing, editing, and VFX, is enough to send shivers down anyone's spine. Ironheart's tone gets darker as the story progresses, unraveling the true nature behind Hood's power. The buildup pays off in a climax guaranteed to leave MCU fans speechless, until they go on Twitter. There Is Brilliant Magic In Ironheart © Marvel You may wonder why there is no mention of Iron Man in this review. That is because he is still dead. The series is not concerned with introducing "the next Iron Man" because that is not what the story is about, and Ironheart is not intended to replace him. While the show does treat Stark's influence with dignity and delivers surprises to please Iron Man fans, the spotlight is on Riri to let her own her identity and be a hero on her terms. Ironheart is a production of love and perseverance, with Dominique Thorne front and center as the dynamic Riri Williams, and Anthony Ramos as the maniacal Hood. The conflict between technology and magic carries an underlying theme of power at any cost, and the price we may pay to get ahead. We had to wait a long time to watch this series, but ultimately, it is worth the wait.

Her unique take on building iron suits is brilliant, but in pursuit of her ambitions, she finds herself wrapped up with the mysterious yet charming Parker Robbins aka “The Hood” (Anthony Ramos).

Apple TV+'s charming sci-fi adaptation Murderbot is now more than halfway through its first season, and it's already won over viewers with its blend of action, wit, and heart. At the center of the series is a socially awkward yet irresistibly endearing protagonist robot who is tasked with protecting a group of humans who specialize in making terrible decisions. As the season finale approaches, I sat down with executive producer Andrew Miano to discuss how the show came to life, the casting journey, and what the future might hold for Murderbot . Demet: What drew you to adapt Martha Wells' Murderbot Diaries for the screen and how did you approach translating its unique tone and introspective narrative into a visual medium? Andrew: It's a big question. First and foremost, my partner Paul Weitz read the book for pleasure, not with any eye towards adaptation, and came in with it and said, "this would make an amazing TV show." We all read it and really sparked to it and thought it was unique and special and funny, which is not something that you always get in a lot of sci-fi. [It is] also very meaningful and emotional. It was the whole package so it was very exciting and we went about it. We met Martha... One of the biggest things to focus on is how do you honor the book? How do you translate that to the screen? It's not easy, but I'm very fortunate to have Paul Weitz and Chris Weitz — two smart, talented partners — creating and running the show with their guidance and Martha's support and involvement to sort of capture and stay true to the books. Demet: So what were the biggest challenges in adapting this book from page to screen? Andrew: Well... The first book is a novella, so it's not super long. So how do you fit that? How do you draw 10 episodes out of that is one challenge. Have you seen all the episodes? Have you seen them all? Demet: Yes, I did. Andrew: OK, so as you know there's a lot of inner dialogue that Murderbot has, and to capture that was a real sort of discussion. Like how do you get that across? Voiceover is a crutch. It is something people always are wary of, but in this, it's not voiceover — it's commentary on everything that's going around it. I'd say that was one of the biggest challenges, and then just in general, it's such a big world... You have so many aspects from production design to visual effects, to putting together a great cast. I mean normal challenges that everybody has, but we started with the tone of it, the comedy, the emotion, the stakes, the drama, the seriousness... It's got all those things, so you want to make sure you hit that in the right way. © Apple TV+ Demet: What was the casting process like and how did Skarsgård's interpretation shape the character's evolution? Andrew: Casting process is the most fun. Being able to be part of that process and find the right people to bring voice to the characters is always one of the most exciting things. We sort of spanned the world for it. We found Akshay [Khanna] in England, we found Noma [Dumezweni] in the states, but is English and had lived in England for a long time. It was an awesome experience trying to figure out how to put the pieces together. I mean Alex is a very smart guy. I don't know if you interviewed him as well, but he's very thoughtful and that's what he brought to it. He brought like a real caring and thoughtfulness to it and wanting to always go back to the book, capture what the book had... He was amazing, super collaborative, and I think that he brought a real emotion to it. Demet: Since Murderbot is genderless, were there any discussions about having a female actor? Or did you start just a male actor in mind? Andrew: No, I think we were open to the best actor, the best opportunity, the best way to tell the story. It's interesting because I've talked to, or I've read a lot and we've talked to a lot of different people, imagining who it could be in their own mind as readers, so there isn't any one right way. What was important was to keep the character genderless in the show, referring to Murderbot as it , which when a male actor is playing, sometimes you run the risk... But it's something that everyone took very seriously and was supportive of, and it was never a big deal. It was a matter of fact: this is who the character is. Demet: You have a very talented ensemble cast, including the cast of Sanctuary Moon . How did you foster the chemistry among all these actors? Andrew: Sanctuary Moon was a lot of fun. We're friends with all those actors. We've worked with all of them, so we basically picked up the phone and called John [Cho], called Clark [Gregg], and Paul called DeWanda [Wise]. Then Alex is very close to Jack McBrayer so we had a conversation about where he could fit in as well. They knew what they were doing, but it was sort of a bit of a farcical soap opera, so to speak, but took it very seriously. We took them all to dinner their first night in town, and some of them had met each other, they had a great time so they had a lot of fun making that. Demet: The series seems to be a success because people are loving it. I am loving it. Are there any plans to explore more of Murderbot in season two? Andrew: Yeah, hopefully. It is somewhat out of out of my hands and and out of a lot of our hands, but it does seem like the response has been very favorable, right? And the reviews have been terrific. The buzz has sounded and seemed very positive. So look, at the end of the day it's up to Apple, but they seem very positive, very supportive. So yeah, we would like to go on. I mean there are a lot of novellas and books, and Martha continues to write, so we can go on as long as people want, but yes, hopefully we will be able to continue the series. Demet: OK, one last question. What can you say about your other upcoming projects? You're gonna be working with Sabrina [Wu] again, for example. Andrew: We'd love to work with Sabrina again. We had worked with them on a television show previously and are always talking about different things to do either as an actor or as a creator, and we'd worked with David [Dastmalchian] before as well, and I can't wait to come up with a reason to work with Noma and with everybody. The cast is is pretty great. Upcoming projects, nothing announced, but Paul has a movie that we're hopefully gonna be making sooner than later... We're working on a book called The Husband's Secret by Liane Moriarty, which is known. We've been working on it for a long time, but there's gonna be some news on that coming up. So those are hopefully the next things on the horizon and hopefully season two of Murderbot . Demet: Yes, hopefully, because I would love to have another robot show. I lost Westworld , so I am looking forward to this one . Andrew: We will do it for you! We're gonna do a second season for you! Demet: I'd love that! Apple seems to be really good at providing sci-fi projects for the audience because they don't usually last, but Apple has this passion for sci-fi projects. Andrew: For sure! I think they're known as the home of a lot of great and different kinds, hard sci-fi, funny sci-fi. For All Mankind is sort of a rethinking of history. We're excited to be unique in that space. Demet: Thank you so much for taking your time to talk with me today and thank you so much for making Murderbot ! It's amazing. Andrew: Thank you very much! It was an incredible experience and great team certainly. Credits to the creators and the actors. The actors really make the magic, so glad that you're loving it.

Animation is such an important and incredible medium in the film and television industry. It's the one form of filmmaking that allows for filmmakers to express their ideas without any limitations. It's why there's such a loud cry against live-action remakes, as they tend to take away what made the original animation so special in the first place, and most times, they can never match up to what came before. This isn't the only issue that the fans of animation are having, but there seems to be a large amount of sequels releasing instead of original movies, whether they're from big studios such as Sony Pictures Animation or smaller independent production companies such as LAIKA. Thankfully, a resurgence has come of original animated films with Elio from Pixar and KPop Demon Hunters from Sony, which is just further proof that we need more original animated films. Sony Pictures Animation never used to have much say in the competition against other competitors, but ever since Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse , it feels like animation has been revolutionized, and not only has Sony Pictures Animation realized that they can bring much life to their animated films with the various unique stylistic styles they can choose from, but it seems like the industry as a whole has been inspired by Sony Pictures Animation's movement. Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhan tag team to bring KPop Demon Hunters , which follows K-Pop girl group Huntrix, consisting of Rumi (Arden Cho), Mira (May Hong), and Zoey (Ji-young Yoo), who lead double lives as secret demon hunters dedicated to protecting their fans from supernatural forces. Huntrix faces off against a rival boy band known as the Saja Boys, whose members are secretly demons. This is a film that first got announced all the way back in 2021, and to finally witness it in all its glory is fantastic. It's an understatement to say how gorgeous the animation is for this movie. Maggie Kang enters with her directorial debut, highlighting that fresh talent is what is sometimes needed to execute these original ideas. With Chris Appelhans also directing the film alongside Maggie, it allows for some familiar faces who have worked with Sony before to return and offer their talents to what might arguably be Sony's best animated film since the Spider-Verse films. © Netflix So many stories have been told through cinema, and it's usual to see a director/writer put a little bit of themselves into their work. KPop Demon Hunters leans hard into Korean mythology and culture as it combines the two to create an extravagant, unique experience. K-Pop is a huge phenomenon not just in South Korea but across the whole world. There are many girl groups and boy groups who perform and have fans that flock to them like sheep in support of their work, talent and lifestyles. While KPop Demon Hunters is an action musical film at its core, Maggie Kang really nails the K-Pop culture, from the world tours and stunning performances to the rehearsals, PR, fan events and even their stylish looks. It's usual for most animated films to have their main cast of characters stick with one iconic fit during the whole film before maybe one final change in the end. Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans ensured that they were able to get many different styles of outfits into the film for Huntrix to showcase how important fashion is in K-Pop culture. This movie absolutely nails its K-Pop nature, even down to how fans react when there are two groups that have their fans pitting against each other. There's not much mention of other girl groups aside from of course Huntrix themselves and Twice, who appear a few times on posters or leaderboards as Easter eggs, as they also performed a rendition of "TAKEDOWN", an original song in the film by Huntrix. When the Saja Boys, a new boy group who gain popularity overnight, get introduced, Huntrix finally begin to feel the competition as the Saja Boys make attempts to steal their fans, but that's not all; they're also secretly demons trying to take down Huntrix. Maggie Kang's writing brings a story that's rich with world-building and character development. The film opens up explaining how, in each generation, there are demon hunters who power the Honmoon, which shields the demons and their king, Gwi-ma (Byung-hun Lee), away from their world with the power of music, which ignites the soul and brings people together. We're introduced to Rumi, who is pop star royalty, with her mom being a part of Sunlight Sisters (a previous girl group); the lead singer, Mira, who is the visual lead dancer of the group; and finally, Zoey, who is the youngest and also their rapper and lyricist. This is a group of characters that you will no doubt fall in love with. Their personalities are bubbly and overall feel like a family. The unique animation style of the movie allows for the characters to go wild with their expressions to the point where it can look like they're coming straight out of another film. Maggie Kang wanted to create a group of women superheroes and showcase both their goofy and sexy sides at the same time, and she achieves it effortlessly. Huntrix are close to powering up the Honmoon and need their latest single, "Golden", performed live to achieve this and finally have a well-deserved rest, but there's a secret that holds them back. Rumi is half demon! © Netflix This is a secret that she's been holding back from her friends for as long as she can. She promises that she will reveal it to them once they power up the Honmoon, but with her patterns gone, there's the question of if she would have ever revealed to them that she was originally half demon. This plays a lot into the group's relationship and how it begins to fall apart the longer Rumi keeps holding this secret from them that could very much tear the group apart, which is exactly what the Saju Boys want. When Jinu (Ahn Hyun-seop), a demon who wants to be freed from Gwi-ma's grasp, is introduced, matters start to get complicated for Rumi personally and the rest of her group as the Saju Boys enter to destroy their image and everything they worked so hard for. Rumi and Jinu begin to connect with one another once he discovers her secret, and they realise that they're not that different from one another after discovering about each other's past. This movie has a great balance of action and music, but it's really at its best when focusing on Rumi's emotions and her connection with Mira and Zoey but also with Jinu, giving this film the emotional impact it needs to drive it to its conclusion. It can often fall under some clichés with the secret being hidden and reactions to the secrets and betrayals that you can see coming a mile away, but it's all made up by how innovative this film is. Rumi leads the movie, but she wouldn't be complete without Mira and Zoey, who are just a joy to watch. Oblivious of Rumi's real problems, they're still supportive of her losing her voice and not being able to rehearse, but they're also simply just outright hilarious, and that's where a lot of the film's comedy comes from. With the Saju Boys introduced, although they know they must defeat them, they can't help but be hypnotised by the hot group of demons as Zoey's eyes turn into a cry of popcorn after witnessing their abs. KPop Demon Hunters is a film that looks deep into its Korean mythology and culture to combine and create a film about badass K-Pop stars who also hunt down demons. Maggie Kang outdoes herself in her directorial debut, and Chris Appelhans proves once more why he's a great director in the hands of Sony Pictures Animation. It goes without saying that this is one of the best animated movies to release this year and also one of the best in Sony Pictures Animation's library. It's a great showcase that Sony Pictures Animation are a worthy opponent in the animation industry and that if they continue in this direction, they'll leave a mark that will be remembered for years to come. In the end, KPop Demon Hunters is a movie that's a visual feast that's enjoyable, energetic, emotional and an engaging ride that throws you into a world of K-Pop music that blends with its explosive dynamic action. The only real negative here is that it wasn't a theatrical release.

Dave Bautista has joined the cast of Amazon MGM’s Road House sequel, sources tell Nexus Point News. Details are under wraps but Bautista is expected to portray a former fighter similar to Jake Gyllenhaal’s Dalton. In addition to Bautista’s character, the film is set to introduce a new cast of characters meaning most of the cast of the first film is unlikely to return. The film will be directed by Guy Ritchie ( Sherlock Holmes , The Gentlemen ). Will Beall ( Aquaman , Bad Boys: Ride or Die ) is penning the script. Bautista is best known for his almost 2 decade-long career as a WWE wrestler. Following his time as a wrestler, Bautista became a full time actor and has starred in many fan favorites such as the Guardian of the Galaxy trilogy as Drax, the Dune  duology, Blade Runner 2049 , Army of the Dead , and Glass Onion . The first film follows Dalton (Gyllenhaal), an ex-UFC fighter taking on a job as a bouncer at roadhouse as he defends it from corrupt developers who seek to buy the land. The film serves as a modern reimagining to the 1989 film of the same starring Patrick Swayze. Production on Road House 2 is set to begin shooting this Fall.

This review contains spoilers from Poker Face . Poker Face  takes a detour to New York in "A New Lease on Death", which explores family, inheritance, and deception through one very desirable rent-controlled apartment. As per usual, it’s a slightly unhinged instalment, except this time it trades traditional whodunit tropes for a queer thriller, and lands most of its bets. We meet Anne St Marie (Lauren Tom), a retired poetry professor living in a spacious, beautifully lit, rent-controlled apartment in the city. I may have paused the episode several times to fawn over something I cannot have. It’s beautiful. Anne has plans: namely, to adopt her adult granddaughter, Madeline (Awkwafina), so that the apartment can legally be passed down to her. New York’s housing laws only allow such a transfer to a legal child or spouse, and Anne’s determined to keep the place in the family. She also won’t see her granddaughter robbed by their landlord, Otto (David Alan Grier), who overcharges, as most do. But then Anne meets Kate (Alia Shawkat) at a fruit stand. What starts as a surprise romantic twist you’ll welcome, soon becomes the central tension of the episode. Kate’s presence immediately raises red flags: Why is the relationship moving so fast? (U-Haul may be the answer there) and why is she so interested in the apartment itself? Madeline is rightly suspicious of the younger woman her grandmother is dating. When she hires someone to dig into Kate’s past, it soon is revealed that ‘Kate’ is actually Amelia Peek, a felon from Oregon with a history of violence. When Madeline confronts Amelia with the truth, she demands that Amelia let her grandmother down gently. Before long, someone winds up dead. © Peacock Enter Charlie Cale, who has moved to New York precisely to avoid getting involved in anyone’s drama. She hopes the city’s endless noise will act like a white noise machine, allowing her to disappear. Naturally, that plan collapses within minutes. Charlie is soon calling out scams and poking around the very laundry room where Madeline meets her end. As Charlie investigates, the episode plays with expectations. Who's next to die? Is Anne truly fooled, or is she playing her own long game? What follows is a tense turn of suspicion and second-guessing, led by Natasha Lyonne's dry humour and the show’s love for (obvious) misdirection. Amelia, somewhat more unhinged than she was when she was setting up a murder earlier in the episode, proposes marriage to Anne in a blatant attempt to secure the apartment. ‘I’m not going to let her ruin our new lives together,’ she snarls, listing the flat’s features like a real estate agent possessed. ‘Three bedroom, four bath, two fireplace apartment in New York for 800 dollars a month,’ is what she believes she’d be paying out for such a luxury. Anne is quick to correct her that it's 640 dollars a month. Adopt me instead! The climax delivers in full Poker Face  fashion, including a staged confrontation, a balcony fall, and a witness with a camera ready. Charlie survives, of course, and Amelia’s lies unravel. But there’s no real victory. Anne, understandably heartbroken, decides to leave the apartment rather than live in the space where her granddaughter died. It’s a quiet ending that suits the episode’s tone. "A New Lease on Death" isn’t the season’s most propellent mystery, but it might be one of its most layered. Tea Ho and Wyatt Cain investigate how far someone will go to experience stability as legacy and affordability are called into question. It’s tragic and just a touch absurd, exactly how we like it.

Disclaimer: This contains spoilers for 'Insurgent Iron Man' #9. Insurgent Iron Man #9 begins with a brief background of Tony Stark’s unlikely ally, Vishte Taru. Raised as a Symkarian, Vishte was brought back to Latveria as a boy, where he began learning the mystic arts under the tutelage of Victor Von Doom. The panels of Doom taking a young Vishte under his wing are reminiscent of the flashback scene in Avengers: Infinity War , when Thanos recruits Gamora while at the same time destroying her world. While Doom did not slaughter Vishte’s family as Thanos did to Gamora’s, there is still a strong parallel of learning from one’s enemy in order to ultimately defeat them.  Back in the present day, Melinda May has been captured by the Winter Guard. They intend to ransom her to Stark in order to help finance additional actions against Doom, without relying on Stark’s weapons. Because Stark has been basically playing both sides, trust in him has eroded across the board. It’s interesting to see the global implications of what Tony has been doing, and once again we find ourselves questioning the end game.  Enter Natasha Romanoff and Bucky Barnes, in his full Winter Soldier regalia. This leads to a standoff between Nat and Red Widow, while Bucky takes down Crimson Dynamo and Mikhail Ursus (an actual bear). As this is going on, in Latveria, Vishte casts a spell.  At first, it’s hard to tell what is happening. Thick black goop begins to siphon out of people, and explosions go off. The shockwave of the spell momentarily pauses the fight happening, but the peace is short-lived, resulting in Bucky donning the Crimson Dynamo armor. Bucky in this issue is a breath of fresh air in an otherwise extremely geopolitically heavy plot. His simple desire to fight a bear helps keep things from getting too bogged down.  Lady Victorious and Iron Man arrive in short order, only to place the blame for the explosions and magical attack on the Winter Guard. It becomes something of a free-for-all, with a great moment occurring when Tony augments Bucky’s Crimson Dynamo armor with pieces of his magically imbued Iron Monger armor. The effect this has on Bucky finally offers an explanation as to why Tony has been acting so erratically: the former Winter Soldier explains the armor made him feel as he once had when under the control of Hydra.  © Marvel Comics Vishte finally admits that it is dark magic running through the armor, causing it to corrupt anyone who wears it. Writer Spencer Ackerman captures Tony’s hubris perfectly here as Iron Man explains he had thought if he only utilized pieces  of the armor, that he would remain unaffected by the magic. Tony has been struggling this entire run with trying to control the entire gameboard, and it is only now that he realizes the futility of the attempt when Vishte finally reveals his ultimate goal: to wipe Doom from the face of the Earth, and rule Latveria himself.  Insurgent Iron Man  is densely political, which makes it somewhat difficult to parse out in terms of motivations and allegiances. Ackerman does an excellent job making Tony sympathetic while at the same time casting doubt on his motives. The nods to real world politics help to make it relatable, particularly with Tony’s status as an oligarch in his own right. This particular issue is almost entirely the fallout of the international intrigue, from Vishte’s family background as Latverian double-agents, to Stark’s own machinations. The art by Michael Dowling and Julius Ohta is dynamic; the final page where Vishte is purging Tony of the dark magic is particularly intense, especially leading into the reveal that Vishte is, for all intents and purposes, going rogue. With one issue left in this arc of Iron Man , it remains to be seen how, or if, the Armored Avenger will save the day, but with Ackerman at the helm, it promises to be a thrilling conclusion.  Rating: ★★★☆☆ © Marvel Comics About Insurgent Iron Man   #9 Release Date:  June 18, 2025 Written by:   Spencer Ackerman Art by: Julius Ohta, Michael Dowling Cover by: Yasmine Putri Page Count: 24 Synopsis: IRON MAN DISASSEMBLED!
