Marty McFly is thrown backward by a massive speaker explosion in a cluttered workshop, sparks flying as sound equipment and cardboard boxes scatter everywhere. The chaotic opening scene from Back to the Future.

Now Watching: KPop Demon Hunters - A Sing-Along Event
Matt, Maggie, Vivian, and Henry are sitting close together in a dark movie theater. Maggie is smiling brightly while holding Henry in her arms, Matt is smiling beside her, and Vivian is grinning wide at the camera, her face lit by the screen’s glow. The cozy family moment captures their excitement before the movie starts. Inside a dimly lit theater, Henry and Vivian watch the big screen where animated K-Pop dancers perform under colorful lights. The scene glows blue and gold as the kids sit perched at their seats, completely absorbed in the movie K-Pop Demon Hunters.

Happy Halloween from Superman!
Henry walks away between two parked cars, his red Superman cape fluttering behind him as he heads down the driveway. Henry is dressed as a tiny Superman, standing proudly beside a black car with one arm raised like he’s ready to take flight. His blue costume with a bright red “S” and yellow belt stands out against the pavement. Henry smiles joyfully as he’s lifted into the air, his blue Superman suit and cape standing out against the cloudy sky behind him. During twilight, Henry walks hand-in-hand with an adult while his sister, dressed as a unicorn fairy with shimmering wings, leads the way down the street for Halloween trick-or-treating.

Happy Halloween from the Unicorn Fairy and Weird Barbie!
Maggie dressed as Weird Barbie, wearing a bright pink dress covered in colorful paint splatters and geometric patterns. Her hair is styled in a high side ponytail with a scrunchie, and her makeup features bold, playful lines resembling doll markings. She’s striking a quirky pose by the door, lit by fun pink lighting, with a plastic jack-o’-lantern bucket on the floor beside her. Vivian dressed as a Unicorn Fairy, smiling brightly while holding a large orange jack-o’-lantern bucket. She’s wearing a shimmery pastel dress with layers of pink and white tulle, glittery wings, and a unicorn headband with ears and a gold horn. Soft lighting gives the scene a magical glow as she gets ready for Halloween fun.

Why does the artwork for the Jurassic films boxset look like an off center pokeball?
Promotional image for a new movie release featuring the “Jurassic World 7-Movie Collection” banner. The artwork includes a metallic silver T. rex skeleton logo inside a circular frame, set against a red, black, and gray background.

But like, why is the Switch 2 box art so ugly?? Buying the Switch 1 version and paying to upgrade (or whatever) is a pain in the ass, but my god, the difference is bonkers.
Two video game cases side-by-side feature the cover art for Pokémon Legends Z-A. The left case is labeled “Nintendo Switch” with a white border, while the right case is labeled “Nintendo Switch 2 Edition” with a red border and updated branding. Both covers depict a bustling nighttime city scene, showing several Pokémon (including Chikorita, Fuecoco, and Riolu) and two human characters in dynamic poses. The city features tall buildings with bright lights, and the Eiffel Tower-like Prism Tower in the background, suggesting the setting is Lumiose City from the Kalos region. The game is rated E10+ by the ESRB.

This.

Thank you @jamesgunn.bsky.social for giving us a Superman movie I can take my daughter to. We loved it ❤️💙
Vivian stands watching the screen in awe as Superman, wearing his cape, sits on the moon with Krypto, gazing at Earth from space. The iconic and emotional scene plays as her silhouette captures the magic of the moment.

Listen, I’ve got a theory and it makes sense in the video I swear to god!
A messy, hand-drawn timeline filled with arrows, scribbles, photos, and wild speculation connecting Marvel characters across time and universes. On the left, labeled “Fixed Point in Time,” we see “Canon Event” splitting into two universes: Universe A (Grandpa Stark) and Universe B (Grandpa Richards). A stick figure labeled “Helen Keller” is weirdly thrown in next to the words “Howard’s mom has baby.” In the 1960s, Baby Richards is born and eventually, somehow, ends up 60 years later in 2025… as Doctor Doom?! Labeled “Dr. Doom aka Victor Von Doom aka Tony Stark (???) aka Franklin (??),” he raises his arms like a dictator at a rally. A thick arrow labeled “Iron Man” connects the generations, but the middle is blacked out in dramatic mystery. At the center is controlled chaos — equal parts multiversal mayhem, sci-fi soap opera, and Pepe Silvia-level theory-crafting.

To be clear: this is EXACTLY what I want. I adore this.
Donkey Kong flashes a wide, toothy grin while flexing his massive arm, as Pauline stands confidently on his shoulder. She’s dressed in a tattered red top and jeans with a purple flower in her hair, smiling down at him against a warm, glowing sky in this scene from Donkey Kong Bananza.

Baby Joey and Doofus the dinosaur are a match made in movie heaven.
A toy display featuring the Distortus Rex from Jurassic Park Rebirth holding Baby Joey, a green alien character from the new Superman movie. The dinosaur has its clawed foot pinning the small alien figure down, with its mouth open in a threatening pose. Baby Joey wears a blue outfit and has wide, surprised eyes. The dramatic scene plays out inside the jungle-themed toy packaging on a store shelf.

Let’s make some memories 🫶
Matt and his daughter Vivian smile together inside a Best Buy, standing in front of a large “Mario Kart World” display.

Vivian stands beside him in a white shirt with colorful pixel designs, black leggings, and light-up shoes, proudly smiling. A plush Pokémon toy rests near their feet. Behind them, colorful posters show Mario and friends racing through chaotic tracks.

We don’t talk enough about how hard this song goes. 2003 didn’t know what hit it.
Alt text: A screenshot of an iPhone lock screen taken at 9:25 on Monday, March 24. The phone is playing the song “I Believe in a Thing Called Love” by The Darkness. The album art shows a stylized illustration of a naked woman with her back turned, holding orange batons on a runway, with a spaceship above her and “The Darkness” written in bold, vintage script. The progress bar shows the song is at 2:24 with 1:13 remaining. The phone is on Verizon with 5G signal and set to silent mode.

Stingmon for sure! The Kamenrider vibes alone would be enough, but I also adore Wormmon and was so stoked to see how rad his champion level was! #Digimon
Ken Ichijouji and his Digimon partner, Stingmon, from Digimon Adventure 02. Ken, a young boy with short, dark purple hair and a calm expression, is wearing a white high-collared jacket with a gold emblem. Behind him stands Stingmon, an insectoid Digimon with a green exoskeleton, large red compound eyes, and spiked shoulder armor. The background has a cool-toned, metallic interior, suggesting a digital or high-tech setting.

If you see this, post a Spider-Man.

I’ve been working on making the first 15 to 30 seconds of our podcasts more engaging to boost retention, and tonight’s Smallville intro is cracking me up.

It’s not often I get to use my late 90’s WWF references; thankfully, Smallville S6 has given me a few chances to 😈
A dramatic podcast thumbnail featuring Smallville. On the left, Clark Kent (Tom Welling) is shown with a serious expression, his face partially covered in blood. On the right, a bloodied, intense-looking character resembling WWE’s Kane is holding a weapon. The background features the WWE SmackDown logo, emphasizing a wrestling theme. At the bottom, bold red text reads “SMALLVILLE PODCAST” with a grunge-style effect. The image has a high-contrast, stylized look with white outlines around the characters.

The only Super Bowl commercial that matters
A scene from Smart Guy featuring Floyd Henderson dressed as “Rooferman,” a humorous superhero parody.

TJ and Yvette Henderson are seated at the kitchen table, laughing at his antics. The kitchen is warm and homey, with books, utensils, and floral decor in the background.
