Crunchyroll has long been one of the most popular anime streaming services on the planet, with an estimated 17 million users regularly watching from a selection of over 1,000 shows and movies. While other major streaming services have stepped up their game in recent years, countless fans still prefer the service that focuses primarily on anime. However, Crunchyroll is no stranger to controversy. In October 2025, fans noticed a major step-down in the quality of Crunchyroll’s translations and subtitle formatting, which led to a statement being released by the company addressing the criticism. Now, only months later, fans are irate…

Perhaps I’m just a worrywart, but in the hypothetical event I decided to raise a chimpanzee as a member of my family, I would be inclined to put some measures into place in case of an emergency. Even the friendliest pet dog can unexpectedly turn on its master – imagine what a primate weighing around 40 kilos in possession of a 1,300 PSI bite force and opposable thumbs might be able to do in a bad mood. Not having any provisional plan for a chimp attack when there is a chimp regularly toddling around your home is gross negligence. Anyway, meet the Pinborough family, who live in a swanky glass house overlooking…

Brie Larson is a great actress whose career has been somewhat frustrating. Although it appeared as if she had unlimited potential after winning the Academy Award for Best Actress back in 2016, Larson hasn’t appeared in quite as many independent dramas and arthouse films as she did prior to her mainstream breakout. Much of the later half of Larson’s career has been spent within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, as she debuted as Carol Danvers in Captain Marvel, which grossed over $1 billion globally. However, Larson’s future in the MCU is currently unknown, given that The Marvels was an infamous disaster…

There is a deceptive calm to Time and Water, the latest documentary from Fire of Love director Sara Dosa. Over meditative cinematography of melting ice and flowing rivers by Pedro Alvarez Mesa, Icelandic multi-platform writer Andri Snær Magnason waxes poetic about the death of the glaciers. Though these images are magisterial, Magnason is, understandably, somber and mournful. His beloved country’s natural landscape is being destroyed, and with it, the physical manifestations of his generational memories. Time and Water is an elegiac film of uncompromising beauty. Magnason, who wrote and provides the film’s cogent commentary, lulls us into a rueful, yet…

It is ironic that Richard Linklater has chosen to homage a film carved out of spontaneous new techniques with one so mired in contrivances that it is impossible for it to breathe. To be fair, Breathless is the name of the game in this black-and-white reconstruction of the making of Jean-Luc Godard’s first film.The year is 1959 and Cahiers du Cinema critic JLG is aware that he is amongst the only of his contemporaries not to have made a feature film. Claude Chabrol has. Éric Rohmer has. François Truffaut’s The 400 Blows is about to première at Cannes. JLG wants to make a non-traditional…

Group A.D. is a brand-new Leeds-based project whose name stands for The Group For Action & Dance. Their music exists in a vivid in-between space—melding dubbed-out rhythms, psychedelic no-wave abstraction, and spaghetti-western orchestral maximalism. Rather than imitating past styles, Group A.D. treats musical history as raw material, pulling fragments from different eras and reassembling them into something uncanny and forward-looking. Across their debut EP, influences flicker like signals—John Barry and Ennio Morricone’s cinematic sweep, Jet Harris’ surf-rock pulse, and spectral ’80s dancefloor drama—each appearing as a suggestion rather than a statement.“Colour Space Transform” is a mission statement for the project’s philosophy. Opening…

Sam Raimi does not make a lot of movies. In the last 15 years, he’s only directed three films: The big-budget Wizard of Oz prequel Oz the Great and Powerful, the Doctor Strange sequel Multiverse of Madness, and his most recent effort, 2026’s Send Help. While he’s had a hand in creating some other projects through his production companies, Raimi has only directed 16 feature films over the course of 40+ year career.But most of Raimi’s 16 films range from good to flat-out classics, which makes them especially fun to rank. While he’s best known for his work in the horror and superhero genres, Raimi has also dabbled in sports movies, crime films, and even a…

NBC canceled Manifest in June 2021 after three seasons, citing declining viewership. At the time, the decision made sense within the logic of broadcast television. Serialized dramas were becoming harder to sustain on traditional networks, and Manifest relied heavily on long-term mythology that demanded consistent weekly engagement. What the cancellation did not reflect was how differently the series would perform outside that ecosystem. When the first three seasons arrived on Netflix later in 2021, Manifest quickly surged in popularity, spending weeks at the top of the streamer’s U.S. charts and drawing in viewers who had never watched the show during…
