Season 5 of “Star Trek: Lower Decks” has just started, marking the end of this animated comedy series within the larger Star Trek universe. Fans are feeling a mix of sadness and excitement as they reflect on the fun times they’ve had while also looking forward to new Star Trek projects. For instance, remember when everyone was shocked by Jack Quaid’s character, Boimler, appearing naked in a holodeck simulation? That moment is still fresh in the actor’s mind, and it’s a topic that keeps coming up among fans.

At long last, “Venom: The Last Tango” has hit the big screen. This third standalone movie featuring the much-loved Marvel Comics character, “Venom: The Last Tango,” is also the fifth film in Sony’s collection of films centered around characters connected to Spider-Man, coming after “Venom,” “Venom: Let There Be Carnage,” “Morbius,” and “Madame Web.” Marketed as Tom Hardy’s final Venom movie, it also hints at a potential new danger in the form of Knull, making “Venom: The Last Tango” both an ending film and potentially a launchpad for fresh adventures.

Warning: Discussions ahead may reveal plot points from “Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage”, specifically Season 1, Episode 2 titled “A Dash of New York Madness”.

Among the movies I’m eagerly looking forward to in 2025 is the remake of “The Running Man,” directed by Edgar Wright. The cast has been gathering strength, with Glen Powell and Josh Brolin recently joining for significant roles, but now there’s an added excitement because it seems like a reunion from “Scott Pilgrim vs. the World” is on the cards, making my anticipation even greater.

In “Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage,” we delve into Georgie (Montana Jordan) and Mandy’s (Emily Osment) next phase, while also exploring lesser-known characters from the “The Big Bang Theory” universe. For instance, Connor McAllister, originally portrayed by Joseph Apollonio on “Young Sheldon,” is now played by Dougie Baldwin. As the series concentrates more on the McAllister family’s daily life, we get a deeper understanding of their dynamics, with Connor receiving increased screen time in this spin-off sitcom. However, after only two episodes, it has become evident that there’s tension between Mandy, her brother Connor, and their mom Audrey (Rachel Bay Jones) – a dynamic strikingly similar to how Mary (Zoe Perry) often favored Sheldon (Iain Armitage) over Missy (Raegan Revord) in earlier episodes.
