The intimate ceremony took place at Hackney Town Hall in London, where Charli wore Vivienne Westwood’s Cora Nova Mini Dress, and George kept it effortlessly cool in a casual suit and button-up.

James Gunn's Superman is a film that has garnered excitement for being the newest cinematic take on the Kryptonian hero. It has also received attention and fanfare as the beginning of a new era for the DC Universe. While David Corenswet's Clark Kent / Superman is reason for delight, Krypto has been stealing the spotlight since the canine character was revealed to be in the film.

But it turns out Krypto is more than just a fun and furry sidekick. Superman (2025) highlights how Superman and Krypto's relationship characterizes the kind of hero and person Clark is.

The annual Austin festival Levitation has unveiled its initial 2025 lineup, and it’s a very cool one headlined by Mastodon, Pavement, Acid Bath, and TV on the Radio.

The 18th edition of the festival is set for the weekend of September 25th-28th, this time in a new location: the Palmer Events Center — a 75,000 square foot, two-stage complex located on the shores of Town Lake overlooking the Austin skyline.

“If you give me another chance, I’m probably gonna fuck it up anyway” — now that’s some admirable self-knowledge. The Toronto punk boys in Pup are veterans by now, going strong on their fifth album Who Will Look After the Dogs?

Apart from walking viewers through some scares and a compelling coming-of-age drama, Hysteria also features memorable characters portrayed by a talented group of actors. Set during the Satanic Panic of the late 1980s, Hysteria is an entertaining addition to the horror/thriller genre, unfolding in a sleepy Michigan hamlet named Happy Hollow. What initially seems like a quaint town in the show's later turns out to be the home of a Satan-worshipping cult that is responsible for the disappearance of star high school quarterback Ryan Hudson.

While unfolding the chaos in the central town after Hudson's disappearance, Peacock's Hysteria presents a compelling set of character beats that keep viewers hooked throughout its runtime. The emotional impact of these character beats is further elevated by the brilliant performances of its cast members. Since Hysteria's cast plays a crucial role in making the drama more immersive and terrifying, many viewers might...

A Pup Named Scooby-Doo was a unique and bold new take on the Scooby-Doo story. The show followed the gang as kids, solving hilarious crimes and discovering spooky monsters. While it wasnt a new idea to create a TV show about the younger versions of popular characters, A Pup Named Scooby-Doo absolutely succeeded where others fell short. It delivered a fun Saturday morning cartoon for all ages. The series expanded the formula into new territories, emulating what was some of the best cartoon comedy at the time. Fans still look back at the show as one of the best today. Not to mention, it has the best theme song in the entire franchise.

The show was able to preserve elements that made Scooby-Doo and the gang great, but also bring new ideas to the table that would stick with the franchise for decades to come. The franchise's formula is lovingly...

Oatchi is the lovable companion to players in Pikmin 4, and he's vital to progressing through the game as he helps support in areas where the Pikmin may be lacking. While Oatchi is great from the get go, he has plenty of potential in Pikmin 4, but in order to reach that potential, players will need to upgrade him.

In order to upgrade Oatchi, players will have to speak with a specific character, however, the upgrades won't come for free. Players will need to accrue Pup Drive which can then be spent on different Skill Upgrades for Oatchi, but only after the quick little dialogue where they reference that Oatchi has gotten bigger overnight.

The latest release from Palehound is one hell of a ride. The album was inspired by the “apocalypse road trip” across the U.S. that the indie Boston band took mid-tour to get safely back home as the pandemic hit in early 2020. The stress and tension of that moment informs the album, even when the song’s aren’t specifically about the pandemic. In a larger sense, the greatest adventure on Eye on the Bat is Palehound’s musical evolution: they’re sharper, punkier, and more fearless — roaring in the face of change.
