Berlin went to Seville, stole a Leonardo da Vinci, fell in love, and got married. Season two is messy, romantic, occasionally slow, and completely watchable.

Jennifer Garner’s husband goes missing and she starts pulling threads. Compelling, twisty, and frustrating in equal measure.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I read the books first. That’s both the best and worst way to watch this show. A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder is entertaining television built on the bones of something much better.

It: Welcome to Derry expands Stephen King’s universe with shocking horror, stunning 1960s detail, and a fresh look at Pennywise’s chilling origins.

Netflix made a horror show about meeting his family and somehow it’s more terrifying than anything else I’ve watched this year. Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen earns its title completely.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

A24's The Drama is the most engaged I’ve been in a cinema all year. Zendaya and Rob Pattinson are extraordinary, the premise is genuinely shocking, and the ending earned an emotional response I was not prepared for.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Masters of the Universe is a surprisingly fun and self-aware adventure that embraces the campy spirit of the original cartoon. Blending Guardians of the Galaxy-style humor with solid action, strong performances, and impressive CGI, the film delivers laughs, heart, and nostalgia in equal measure. Director Travis Knight crafts an entertaining crowd-pleaser that leaves plenty of room for future adventures.

A 4chan image became a YouTube series that became an A24 feature film. Backrooms is bold, genuinely unsettling, and directed by someone who clearly has something to say. Kane Parsons is a name to remember.

I texted a friend at midnight after watching this. The message said “what the HELL.” That is the whole review. Curry Barker's Obsession is the type of horror movie that ends up on my phone list, the one where movies go to never be questioned again, and it earned its spot faster than anything I’ve seen this year.

A gender-swap comedy that’s blunter than it needs to be and better than it should be. Ladies First lands somewhere in between sharp satire and Netflix filler, and somehow that makes it worth watching.

The Duffer Brothers gave Stranger Things to a group of retirees, and somehow it works completely. The Boroughs is funny, emotional, and anchored by a cast that has absolutely no right to be this good.

The Mandalorian and Grogu took a successful Star Wars Series and made a cash-grab movie without a plot, good effects, and completely wasted a stellar cast and a massive budget.

Every show has a sell-by date. These ones ignored it completely, kept going, and made us watch the slow decline in real time. As a fan of most of these, it genuinely hurts to say this.

The Boys Season 5 is a dense detail-packed, dark humor-laden, gory mess that is more entertaining than most superhero lore out there in any form. Watch it for the closure of the past seasons, for a look into how dark people are, and most importantly, how dark life can get when the balance of power goes off-kilter.

Off Campus is the hockey romance adaptation we’ve been waiting for and it mostly delivers everything the genre promises and then some.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Ballerinas stranded in a Budapest mob bar, fighting their way out using only their dance training. Pretty Lethal is exactly as good as that sounds and then some.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Mortal Kombat II 2026 Movie is a detailed homage to the legacy of Ed Boon's legendary PVP game's fights dipped in CGI, humor, and the age-old video game plot.
