This winter, moviegoers will be faced with a choice not seen since July 21, 2023. While “Barbenheimer” ended up a win-win—Barbie was the highest-grossing movie of the year, and Oppenheimer won the Best Picture Oscar—it’s not yet certain who will rise on December 18, 2026.

Right now, pretty much all we know about the next James Bond movie is that Denis Villeneuve—who has Dune: Part Three releasing in December—is directing it, and Peaky Blinders‘ Steven Knight is writing it. The first outing for the superspy under his new Amazon overlords is otherwise shrouded in high-level mystery.

While many of its predators were busy suffocating to death under the endless volcanic soot and sweltering temperatures that led to this era’s “Great Dying,” the little plant-eating Lystrosaurus is believed to have burrowed and hibernated its way to safety.

Crunchyroll’s Anime Awards are upon us. And before you open up a tab, voting is closed (womp womp). While its nominees for Anime of the Year are packed with straight heaters, with the likes of The Apothecary Diaries, Dan Da Dan, Gachiakuta, My Hero Academia, The Summer Hikaru Died, and Takopi’s Original Sin jockeying for the big one, fans have already dubbed another anime, Apocalypse Hotel, as its unofficial ruler. And honestly, it’s hard to argue otherwise.
