You know the story: a lonely woodcarver makes himself a puppet son. A magic fairy brings the puppet to life. The wooden boy’s nose grows when he lies, and under the guidance of a cricket conscience, he learns what it means to be a real boy. Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio isn’t the first take
Amphibia season 3 is the final season of this froggy adventure on Disney+, and boy, does it deliver. It's easily one of the best conclusions to any isekai stories in existence, with an ending that is a bit on the bittersweet side, but is ultimately very satisfying to watch. When worlds (and frogs)
Amphibia season 2 is when the story finally kicks into high gear, and I mean that both literally and figuratively. Literally because of the fun road trip Anne and the Plantars go on. Figuratively because this is when the story starts getting really good. Man, even the key art for this season looks
Just when you think you can't get a quirky episode squeezed in, you can. In all the adorableness you still find the heart in the story, just like you would expect from Star Trek Prodigy. The crew is still reeling over the fact that with their supership trojan horse they can't use it to contact

After many long stardates, approximately 8 months, the Paramount+ and Nickelodeon smash hit Star Trek Prodigy returns! Don't call it a new season; this is the second half of the first season. So, the story picks up right where we left off! While the "crew" are racking up their "good guy points,"
It's been quite a long time since we've had a Star Wars movie in theaters. In the time between Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker and now, we've had a revolution in entertainment in streaming and Star Wars moved from controlling the theater to a fixture in our living rooms with shows like The
Daemons of the Shadow Realm has Yuru and his Daemons turn the table on his pursuers in Ep. 4 "Jin and Yuru". It's pretty clearly a case of the hunters becoming the hunted here, and in a very action-packed way to boot. Now we wait and see if this is a good thing for Yuru, or if he has bitten off
