Image: Home Depot It’s just about halfway to Halloween and Home Depot is ready to start rolling out spooky season decor to celebrate. The store’s most viral release—Skelly, the 12-foot skeleton—is consistently hard to find as the holiday gets closer, so with that in mind the popular must-have will be released early as part of this drop. Beginning today, April 25, Halloween fans can shop for Skelly and some new friends, including a Skelly dog and a Frankenstein animatronic. And this is just the beginning: Home Depot will reveal more scary product drops leading up to October 31 (though we know b ..read more

Rebel Moon: Part Two didn’t quite reach Part One numbers. Image: Netflix After a fourth-month wait, Netflix viewers turned up by the tens of millions to see how Zack Snyder’s Rebel Moon saga finished, but the number didn’t quite hit that of the first film. Rebel Moon - Part Two: The Scargiver was Netflix’s number-one English-language film last week with a reported 21.4 million views, hitting the top 10 in 92 countries. It even brought some viewers back to the first part as Rebel Moon - Part One: A Child of Fire also had 5.5 million viewers during the week. However, the new film did not reach t ..read more

Evan Rachel Wood as Dolores on Westworld.Image: HBO With Fallout’s success and season-two renewal, it’s been seeming ever more unlikely that Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy would get a chance to revisit their previous sci-fi series, Westworld—cancelled by HBO after four seasons, despite talk about how season five had already been plotted out. Well, here’s another nail in that robotic coffin, although it is quite cool to behold: Heritage Auctions’ upcoming sale of screen-used (some including blood spatter!) Westworld props, costumes, and random bits and bobs that brought the series to life. Check o ..read more

One little ship on House of the DragonPhoto: Ollie Upton/HBO House of the Dragon returns in June, and A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight—aka “Dunk and Egg”—is moving full speed ahead. But despite the hunger for Game of Thrones projects, HBO is still being selective about its spin-offs. Among the shows left in the lurch: that Naomi Watts-starring prequel, the Jon Snow show, and an epic seafaring adventure detailing the story of Queen Nymeria. If that last one sounds unfamiliar, it has been discussed in the past; in 2021, we learned a spin-off titled 10,000 Ships had just pulled ah ..read more

Screenshot: Marvel Deadpool & Wolverine’s new trailer yesterday didn’t really give fresh details on what the film’s going to be about, beyond the vague threat of multiversal shenanigans and Wade and Logan’s team-up. But it did give us our first really good look at one of the several villains the movie is playing with—and one of the most infamous antagonists in X-Men comics. That is of course, Cassandra Nova, who will be played by Emma Corrin. Although the trailer doesn’t explicitly outright say that it’s Cassandra Nova, the look, the powers, it’s all there—and with it the potential for Dea ..read more

Screenshot: Amazon Fallout’s first season took the bold step of jumping a good chunk beyond the events of any game in the beloved post-apocalyptic RPG series so far, to tell its own story. But that didn’t stop fans of one of the more beloved entries in the gaming franchise—the iconic Obsidian spinoff, Fallout: New Vegas—from freaking out that it was being wiped from canon. This concern comes from a revelation about half way through Fallout’s first season, where protagonists Lucy (Ella Purnell) and Maximus (Aaron Clifton Moten) discover the bombed out ruins of a town called Shady Sands—the cap ..read more

B2EMO on AndorImage: Lucasfilm Star Wars: Andor: The Complete First Season is io9's most-coveted among the Disney+ series getting collector’s edition Blu-ray and 4K UHD releases April 30—no offense to Marvel’s The Falcon and the Winter Soldier or Moon Knight, or Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi, which are also part of the drop.
