The neon-soaked streets of Los Angeles are calling once again. Prime Video took over the legendary Hall H today to pull back the curtain on its highly anticipated limited series, Blade Runner 2099.

The emerald light of the Green Lantern Corps is finally shining on the small screen, but it’s looking a lot grittier than fans might have expected. During a high-energy panel at San Diego Comic-Con today, HBO Max pulled back the curtain on Lanterns, the highly anticipated DC Studios drama series, debuting the first official trailer for the intergalactic police procedural. The eight-episode season is set to premiere on Monday, August 17, exclusively on HBO Max.

Cruisin for a Bruisin’ is a high-octane eight-part web series blending contemporary dance, a bogan soundtrack, regional rivalry and a gloriously unhinged dose of Australian absurdity. Set in and around Killarney, Queensland, the series follows sworn enemies Brett and Trey, two rival panel beaters whose ongoing feud spills into every corner of their lives alongside their powerhouse girlfriends Britt and Tracey, identical twin sisters both played by Full Flower Moon Band’s Kate Dillon.

Now available to rent or buy on various digital platforms, The Run is set in a dystopian, post-pandemic world crippled by a global fertility crisis, where an aging smuggler, Mac (Callan Mulvey) struggles to protect a runaway teenager and her baby from ruthless criminals, while trying to complete his run for his vicious employers.

2026 has been a year full of ups and downs for the industry, yet here I am able to review a fully remade Halo game on the PlayStation 5. It’s a perk not lost on me, as I remember my 13-year-old self watching my cousins play Halo when they first got their Xbox systems at the turn of the century. Funnily enough, as a teenager the graphics seemed out of this world.

It’s a BRAND NEW DAY for Peter Parker. Fighting crime full-time as Spider-Man in a world that doesn’t remember him—and the pressure of seeing his old friends move on without him—sparks a change in Peter he may not have the power to control. But that transformation might also be the only thing that can stop a shocking new threat to the city and those he loves – a powerful villain no one can even see. The world may have forgotten Peter Parker, but he hasn’t forgotten them.

The 80s were a special time, and none more special than racing to the loungeroom on a Saturday morning for your favourite cartoon series. Towards the top of the list for so many of us was Masters of the Universe. Originally designed as an action figure to appeal to boys of the early 80’s He-Man quickly became a phenom as he battled evil forces that were trying to destroy his home of Eternia.

An all-new trailer and poster for “Avengers: Doomsday,” has been released. The December 17 theatrical release will see Marvel’s greatest heroes reunite since the record-breaking Avengers End Game in 2019.

It is officially our favourite time of the year. The days are short, the Melbourne wind is biting, and the Melbourne International Film Festival (MIFF) has just unveiled a 2026 program so massive it practically requires its own GPS. At Novastream, we live for this. There is a specific kind of magic in huddling into a darkened theatre at ACMI or The Capitol while the city shivers outside, and this year’s 74th edition is bringing more than 300 screen works to make that hibernation worth it.
