The latest sci-fi release usually leads Apple TV’s global streaming chart. But with the conclusion of the hit MonsterVerse series, Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, the next sci-fi show, For All Mankind, has failed to reach the needed viewership to claim the top position. The recently concluded series barely cracked the top five throughout its run. This has led to the domination of non-sci-fi shows like Your Friends & Neighbors, Margo’s Got Money Troubles, and Widow’s Bay. However, Apple TV always has the next big hit lined up, and the latest one is on its way to becoming a sensation. The…

Mere weeks later and only one week into shooting, director Mary Lambert (who had been brought in to replace Ross) was also let go, in part because she was changing production details that Prince had already approved. Costume designer Marie France recalled one such instance when, days before shooting Mary Sharon’s birthday scene, Lambert directed France to replace the handmade cut-velvet gown worn by Kristin Scott Thomas with something else. When France sought Prince’s approval, he told her to disregard Lambert’s direction. ​“She was gone after that,” France told me. ​“That day or maybe that week. That might have been…

The Valla are a rising UK indie-rock outfit building their name on emotional honesty and high-voltage live energy. Emerging from the British grassroots scene, the band have steadily carved out their space through punchy songwriting, cathartic choruses, and a refusal to dilute their message. Fronted by George Coulson, The Valla channel frustration, heartbreak, and resilience into t captures the band at their most direct. Built around sharp guitars, driving rhythms, and a chant-worthy hook, the track wastes no time in delivering its message. It’s brash, bold, and intentionally confrontational — but beneath that swagger sits emotional release.The lyrics centre on reclaiming…

Obsession is a stunning box-office hit. Made for less than $1 million, it has already grossed well over $150 million worldwide. The reasons why this movie has struck a nerve with fans are numerous. The premise — a lonely and shy young man can’t work up the nerve to ask his crush out and instead impulsively makes a wish using a “One Wish Willow” to make her fall madly in love with him (heavy on the madly) — is a simple but brilliant one. The subsequent story of love, obsession, and consent resonates with modern viewers.But this movie is also way darker that…

It must be great to be one of the Ghostbusters. You get to hang out with Bill Murray (or Kate McKinnon, or Mckenna Grace), wear those snazzy jumpsuits, and generally be the talk of the town. The only problem (well, apart from lugging an unlicensed nuclear reactor on your back, and coming into contact with the horrific spirits of the dead) is the hours. Nobody’s calling the Ghostbusters at lunchtime, which is exactly what Netflix wants to convey with the title of their new Ghostbusters series. Netflix has now revealed that their new Ghostbusters animated series will be titled Ghostbusters:…

Grand Theft Auto VI is less than six months away from launch, and fans finally feel like they can get excited about it without too much fear of a delay. That being said, we don’t really know that much about the game considering how close it is, and beyond the two trailers we’ve had so far, we’re mostly left resorting to rumors and leaks to speculate on what the end result is going to be like. We know quite a few of the main cast of characters, and there’s been quite a lot we can glean about Vice City itself,…

Although their budgets and cinematic ethos are markedly different, there really aren’t that many degrees of separation between British experimental filmmaker Ben Rivers and Hollywood titan Christopher Nolan. They both relish the tactile textures of celluloid. They are both masters in the art of fusing images and sound, particularly music. They are both avowedly modern directors who tangle with the possibilities of time and structure, but both keep their work rooted in an old-school classicism. Perhaps the key difference is that Rivers doesn’t go to such contrived lengths to explain or justify his wistful chronicles of lost civilisations. His gorgeous…

Crysometimes are an emerging alternative pop / indie rock band based in Brighton, UK, blending early 2000s emotional intensity with a modern pop-rock polish. Channeling the confessional energy of Paramore, the intimacy of Phoebe Bridgers and boygenius, and the punchy hooks of Avril Lavigne, the band craft songs that feel both nostalgic and refreshingly current.Their sound sits at the intersection of vulnerability and volume — big choruses wrapped around emotionally honest storytelling.“Sorry” leans fully into crysometimes’ strengths — a soaring vocal performance, dynamic guitar builds, and a chorus that feels designed for late-night singalongs. The track balances emotional confession with pop…
