Leigh Bardugo’s Grishaverse series of novels made a big splash in the YA realm and beyond, so it’s no surprise Netflix chose to adapt Shadow and Bone into a series. The question I still have—as a watcher, not a reader—is... what does anyone see in General Kirigan?

We’ve gotten a few glimpses of what to expect from DC series Titans when it returns to HBO Max, like the excellent outfits we’ll be seeing Starfire and Red Hood rocking in season three. Today, however, we got a bit of important casting: Vincent Kartheiser is coming aboard as Dr. Jonathan Crane.

Scientists in Brazil say they’ve discovered a new species of poisonous toad—hidden in plain sight due to its close resemblance to another related species. Aside from their tiny size, the wee toads have brightly colored skin and bones that fluoresce under UV light, a feature that still isn’t completely understood.

I woke up this morning very excited to see the first footage from The Tomorrow War, the new Chris Pratt sci-fi action film directed by Chris McKay (The Lego Batman Movie). Everything we’d heard about it over the years made it sound like one of those mega-blockbusters we love to geek out about—Independence Day,…

Kevin Feige is used to making Marvel superhero movies that are just brimming with VFX. Before she took the job directing Eternals, Chloe Zhao was not. Feige probably wasn’t surprised by her desire to use practical locations when possible, but he was surprised by how amazing they looked. 

Moonwalking on Mauna Loa. That’s been the name of the game for the astronaut candidates of the HI-SEAS habitat atop the Hawaiian volcano, and today, team members shared the latest updates on their extreme mission at the European Geosciences Union’s general assembly.

Somehow, it’s May—and that means not only are we one step closer to summer, we’ve also got several dozen new sci-fi and fantasy books to tempt you with. This month, we’ve got apocalyptic survivors, royals desperate to realize their destinies, supernatural private eyes, ambitious mutants, and so much more.

Yeah. So, Jeff Goldblum—the Jeff Goldblum, star of Jurassic Park, Independence Day, and so much more—is going to play Elven sorcerer Balmer in a Dungeons & Dragons podcast. This is a true statement of something that is going to happen in our reality, and I absolutely can’t wrap my head around it.

If the image above took your breath away, we’re in the same boat. It’s not every day you see such intimate moments of baby animals and their parents in the wild. There’s a reason for that. Moms with newborns are often on high alert, and capturing these glimpses into their lives requires putting yourself in their place…

John Walker’s journey through Disney+ and Marvel’s The Falcon and the Winter Soldier—from Captain America, to... well, not that—is one of dramatic highs and lows for the would-be shieldbearer. But his turn in the series’ finale raised some interesting questions of just how we’re meant to feel about the character. Now,…

If it seems like rather recently that we were heaping praise on Creepshow’s season two premiere—well, it was. With only five episodes in this season, Shudder’s retro horror anthology has ripped by way too fast. Ahead of tomorrow’s season finale, here’s what we’ve loved about the most recent episodes.

After 21 years, gaming’s least violent on-rails shooter triumphantly returns to usher in a new generation of Pokémon paparazzi. New Pokémon Snap adds layers of complexity to the monster photo safari without straying too far from what made the original so damn lovable.

When the first trailer for director Enrico Casarosa’s Luca dropped earlier this year, there was a small but rather vocal contingent of Pixar fans speculating whether the movie might be Disney’s first foray into feature-length storytelling focused on queer characters. io9 recently spoke to Casarosa about just that.

The Star Wars prequels have had a rough couple of decades, from seemingly universal mockery to a renewed level of appreciation, as the audiences that watched them as children grew up and re-appraised their strengths and weaknesses. But now that we live in a more civilized age, it would seem, fondness for the films has…

Luca, Disney and Pixar’s new film from director Enrico Casarosa, follows two young sea monster boys as they wander from the relative safety of their secretive, underwater community to the surface world where humans and other land-dwelling creatures live in the open air. Both Luca (Jacob Tremblay) and Alberto (Jack…

The first Sailor Moon movie in decades is coming to Netflix. Patrick Dempsey talks about midlife crises, songs, and dances for Disenchanted. Samuel L. Jackson is invited to a game in a new Spiral: From the Book of Saw clip. Plus, what’s coming on Supergirl’s nightmare prom night, and the Fantasy Island reboot adds an…

Creating a sense of place is fundamental to what makes video games work. In ways few other mediums really can, video games give us the opportunity to interact with and be part of a fantastical space on a personal level. The Mass Effect series is no different, charting us a galaxy to explore and defend. But its best…
