Since we’re not getting a sequel to “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” until after 2025, it’s completely understandable for fans to fantasize about having a time-controlling musical instrument like in “The Legend of Zelda“. (For those who thought, “Why not just use Mario’s Time Machine?”, kindly step aside.) Fortunately, one of the stars, Keegan-Michael Key, has given us some fresh insights that are sure to excite fellow longtime fans as much as they do me about this upcoming video game adaptation.

Despite an ever-growing list of concluded and terminated TV series, the cancellation of NCIS: Hawai’i at CBS remains a bitter pill to swallow for many viewers, given that it was primarily due to scheduling conflicts rather than low ratings or viewership issues. The procedural universe continues to expand with the upcoming spinoff NCIS: Origins, but sadly, there are no plans for any characters related to Jane Tennant’s family tree to make appearances. However, this doesn’t mean that Vanessa Lachey, a former cast member, has vanished from the spotlight.

In simple terms, the Marvel Cinematic Universe consistently delivers fresh content, available in cinemas and on Disney+ for subscribers. The recent blockbuster movie to grace the silver screen is “Deadpool & Wolverine“, which shattered box office records. Interestingly, Ryan Reynolds made it clear during the production of “Deadpool 3” that there would be a significant change when working with Disney on this project.

Is there no sanctity left in our cultural narratives? Does it seem like Hollywood is persistently recasting our cherished childhood memories into disturbing cinematic remakes? Indeed, it seems so, as the iconic ’90s cartoon is poised to undergo a transformation from animation to a live-action hybrid (as reported by Deadline). However, perhaps we (and by “we,” I mean myself) should take a moment to reflect on the positive aspects of live-action hybrids, as there are certainly some well-executed examples out there.

John Oliver expresses his annoyance over HBO’s new strategy of not releasing the main segments of his show, “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver,” until four days after each episode airs. Originally, when the show debuted on April 7, 2014, HBO would post the leading segment on YouTube the day after it aired on Sunday. However, since Season 11, which is currently being broadcast, HBO has chosen to delay the release of episode clips until Thursday.
