Sakamoto Days anime aired the season finale last week, leaving fans divided. While some were content with the series, others were left disappointed. It wasn’t much of a finale as some pointed out. What we do know is that the first season remains a mxied bag for the most part.

Truly, it was a seesaw of expectations, and Tms fumbled majorly. From animation to visuals, it was pretty rustic compared to the manga’s well-detailed art. To add to that, the makers are returning with Cour 2 in July 2025, but it seems like the studio has a plan up its sleeve.

In other words, the series has a secret sauce for the upcoming second season, which might overturn the first season’s criticism. It might potentially undo all the mistakes if the makers choose to address the problems. The pitfalls are a huge hindrance,...

One of the great things about Crunchyroll is the incredible size of the streaming service's catalog. With so much anime to choose from, there's virtually something for everyone, including those searching for more mature content. As TV age ratings continue to evolve, sometimes even those with a TV-14 rating may have mature themes, visuals, language, and portray things like graphic violence, drug or alcohol use, and sexual content.

Maturity may also reflect deep or disturbing themes or messages that won't be found in anime more suitable to younger viewers. Deep dives into the systematic flaws in society and fighting inner-demons while searching for the meaning of life and staving off feelings of despair or emptiness just aren't going to make sense to a younger audience. Fortunately for the mature viewer, Crunchyroll has plenty of anime to satisfy those searching for a little more depth.

All the sisters as well as their mothers are drowning in wealth, so it's easy for certain viewers to roll their eyes at their problems.

This episode places a great deal of focus on Kim Kardashian as she awaits the results of her Bar exam. As such, this one episode has the potential to completely alter how viewers perceive this iconic family.

Ted Bundy was never one to shy away from the spotlight. During the ten years he spent on death row, the convicted serial killer gave interviews with law enforcement officials hoping to push off execution and extend his own life. Investigators from all over the country travelled to a Florida state prison hoping to close cold cases that fit Bundy’s Mo.

Beginning in 1984, he formed a friendship of sorts with FBI profiler Bill Hagmaier who interviewed the notorious prisoner with the intention of gaining insight into the mind of a killer. But is it possible for a decent man to open his mind to extreme sadism and predation without awakening a darkness within his own soul?

Warning: Contains Spoilers for Spirits of Vengeance #5

Lost behind to the wild antics of the 1990s, a far-future variant of the Ghost Rider is about to make a massive comeback.

In January of this year something extraordinary happened. For the first time, United Artists’ Black Tuesday was shown on British television, having been originally banned for its violence. The film noir classic of 1954 stars Edward G. Robinson, one of the four giants of Hollywood’s gangster genre, alongside James Cagney, Humphrey Bogart and George Raft. At the time that Edward G. starred in Black Tuesday, he was in something of a career slump, but, in spite of his modest physical stature, he still manages to bring to bear his characteristically brutal persona. Perhaps even more surprising is how good the film is, a sort of forgotten masterpiece from the Argentinean helmer Hugo Fregonese who, in his time, had directed such stars as Gary Cooper, James Mason, Joel McCrea, Barbara Stanwyck, Robert Taylor, Lee Marvin and Stewart Granger, but who is largely forgotten today,...

The relationship between Fortnite and film is about to get even more intertwined thanks to a partnership formed by Snoop Dogg's Death Row Games and New Regency. Under their new deal, Death Row, through its Good Game Champ division, will be recreating the worlds of iconic films from the company's archives in the massively multiplayer game using the Unreal Editor for Fortnite (Uefn). It's a big opportunity for both parties to introduce a massive player base consisting of hundreds of millions of users to the unique worlds featured on the big screen in the past in a new, interactive way. Few are more excited about the collaboration than Snoop himself, who not only has high hopes that the plan will be a huge hit but has no shortage of faith in his son, Cordell Broadus, who is the current CEO of Death Row Games.

Hulu's preparing to spend some time behind the walls with a planned reboot of the hit series Prison Break. A new take on the show, this one from Elgin James, has just taken a major step forward toward becoming a reality.

Per Deadline, Hulu has officially ordered a pilot for the Prison Break reboot. Should the streamer be satisfied with the pilot, a series order will be next. The project comes from James, known for co-creating FX's Sons of Anarchy spinoff series, Mayans M.C., as well as the BBC/Prime Video series The Outlaws. The potential spinoff with James was first reported to be in early development last year, and finally getting its pilot order follows the original Prison Break recently getting a resurgence in viewership on Netflix after a 2-year hiatus on that platform.

In the mid-'80s, residents of Los Angeles and the San Francisco Bay Area found themselves in the grip of one of America’s most notorious serial killers: Richard Ramirez, a.k.a. The Night Stalker. Though his story has been told countless times over the years, Peacock looks to shed new light on his reign of terror with its latest true crime docuseries, Richard Ramirez: The Night Stalker Tapes, which promises to tell the killers' tale like never before.

Debuting today, Dec. 10 on Peacock, the two-part docuseries features 25 hours of audio recordings of Ramirez himself that were taken while he sat on death row awaiting his execution. The Night Stalker is credited with killing at least 14 people between April 1984 and August 1985, and was later sentenced to death in 1989. However, Ramirez died at Marin General Hospital in 2013 thanks to complications secondary to B-cell lymphoma while still going through the appeals process.

Here is what Snoop Dogg and Jelly Roll had to announce and what it all means.

Snoop Dogg & Jelly Roll Made Major Announcement

Snoop Dogg keeps ‘em coming. A week after releasing “Outta da Blue” and a month after dropping “Gorgeous,” the Doggfather is back again with “Another Part of Me,” a Sting-featuring duet that arrives as the latest single from his upcoming album, Missionary.

Produced by Dr. Dre and The ICU, “Another Part of Me” kicks off with a mock-live feel, with a crowd cheering as a grooving reimagination of “Message in a Bottle” plays, anchored by the song’s iconic guitar riff. Snoop then enters with auto-tuned vocals, singing a melody inspired by The Police’s original, before settling into his signature rap flow.

Featuring Alus, “Outta Da Blue” sees Snoop and Dre trade verses over a booming beat, produced by Dre, Dem Jointz, BoogzDaBeast, and Fnz.

Arriving via Death Row, Aftermath, and Interscope, “Outta Da Blue” is the second single to arrive from Missionary, following the Jhené Aiko-featuring track “Gorgeous,” which arrived earlier this month.

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs and Suge Knight have always been like oil and water—each building their own empire, but never able to coexist without tension. Their feud became one of the most talked-about chapters in music history, with rumors of beef, and betrayal circulating for years.

Yet, as time passed, it seemed like the feud between these two giants might eventually fade into the background. But according to Cassie Ventura, one of Diddy’s former flames, the tension between these two powerhouses was far from over—even years later.

What started as a war of words eventually escalated, with Ventura revealing that Diddy once allegedly arrived armed, intent on settling his ongoing rivalry with Knight once and for all.

Diddy, Suge Knight, and the Showdown That Almost Was

Diddy’s ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, in her lawsuit against Sean Combs, has detailed several instances where...

Death Row. The camera tracks across five barred cells, lingering close up on each of the inmates. The first, Selwyn (Don Blackman), a heavy set black man, sings the blues, the wooden stool on his lap a drum. The mob boss Vincent Canelli (Edward G. Robinson), armed robber Peter Manning (Peter Graves) and another all pace, like caged beasts. The final man, clutching the bars for dear life, screams, "Shut up, will you?"

Hard cut.

The hard cut is a masterstroke by director Hugo Fregonese. From the claustrophobic to the wide open shot, the gates of death row; from slim, ornamented a cappella to the crash of a dissonant orchestral chord, he makes you sit up in your seat and take notice. Then the credits roll.

It's Tuesday. Two of the convicts, Manning and Canelli, are about to be executed. Manning is offered a ten day stay of execution if he gives up.

Snoop Dogg has announced that his 20th studio album, Missionary, will arrive on December 13, in a trailer on Instagram. It will be the first album Dr. Dre has produced for him since 1993’s Doggystyle.

The rapper announced the album with a playful social media trailer featuring two Mormon missionaries arriving at the door of a woman dressed in lingerie. “Your ad said you were dedicated to missionary work!” she complains, with a can of Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre’s new cocktail, Gin & Juice in hand.

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ recent arrest has brought his past controversies back to the limelight again. The disgraced rapper has allegedly been involved in many controversies over the years. He was allegedly also involved in the infamous East-West Coast feud back in the ’90s.

Diddy, who was the owner of Bad Boy Records and worked with Biggie, has repeatedly denied his involvement in the feud. He said that he thought he and Death Row Records founder Suge Knight were friends until he was called out by Knight at an awards show.

Rapper and hip-hop mogul Diddy has had a reputation as a generous party host as well as a controversial individual allegedly involved in many feuds. The Bad Boy Records founder is best known for his collaborations with The Notorious B.I.G a.k.

Before he faced multiple lawsuits and the disturbing allegations, P. Diddy was entangled in one of the most notorious feuds in hip-hop history—between the East Coast’s Notorious B.I.G. of Bad Boy Entertainment and the West Coast’s Tupac Shakur from Death Row Records.

What began as a rivalry expressed through song lyrics escalated into violence, culminating in the tragic murders of both rappers in drive-by shootings just six months apart. Sean Combs later reflected on this dark chapter in hip-hop, revealing why the situation deeply troubled his spirit.

P. Diddy Dismissed Threats Amid Bad Boy-Death Row Feud

The feud between Diddy’s Bad Boy Entertainment and Suge Knight’s Death Row Records broke out after the 1994 shooting of 2Pac, which was followed by several disses and later turned into a dark chapter in hip-hop history.

The death penalty takes centerstage on Wednesday when Death Row inmate Richard Glossip’s case comes before the Supreme Court once again — this time with his supporters calling for a new trial.

“Both Richard and I are extremely grateful that the U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments in his case today. We continue to lean on our faith and remain prayerful,” Glossip’s wife, Lea, tells Rolling Stone.

Glossip has been a cause célèbre for the past few decades, practically ever since he was sentenced to death for the 1997 murder-for-hire of his boss,...

Hit Fox drama Prison Break has enjoyed an unexpected climb of more than 100% on streaming platform Netflix, seven years after its divisive revival season. Debuting on Fox in 2005, the show starred Wentworth Miller as Michael Schofield, a young man who is deliberately imprisoned in order to break out his brother, Death Row inmate Lincoln Burrows (played by Dominic Purcell), before his execution for a crime he didn't commit. The show initially ran for four seasons consisting of 79 episodes, to largely positive acclaim, and concluded with the television movie Prison Break: The Final Break in 2009, before its controversial revival in 2017.

According to reports in Deadline, Prison Break has raced to the top spot of the Nielsen overall streaming list, after finding a new lease of life on Netflix. A successful run saw the series soar 111% from the previous week, after it landed on the streaming giant after seven years off the air.

The former Fox series, Prison Break topped the Nielsen streaming rankings for the week of Aug. 5-11.

The show, also streaming on Hulu, was added to Netflix on July 29 and more than doubled its viewing time from the previous week, from 758 million to 1.6 billion minutes, according to a report from The Hollywood Reporter. Prison Break aired for five seasons on Fox, starting in 2005. Hulu is developing a Prison Break reboot with showrunner Elgin James of Myans Mc.

The planned Prison Break reboot is moving forward at Hulu. The latest update on the project is encouraging, coming several months after the reboot was first announced in 2023.

Last November, it was reported that a Prison Break reboot was in development for a streaming release on Hulu. There haven't been many fruitful updates since, but Prison Break executive producer Marty Adelstein commented on its progress in a new interview with Deadline. He gave high praise to the first episode's script while suggesting that progress was coming along nicely.

Lionsgate’s 1992, the upcoming action-crime thriller starring Tyrese Gibson and directed by Ariel Vromen (The Iceman) and co-starring Ray Liotta in one of his final film roles, will be released in theaters on August 30, with the legendary hip-hop artist Snoop Dogg boarding the film to executive produce through his Death Row Pictures banner. The announcement was jointly made today by Adam Fogelson, chair, Lionsgate Motion Picture Group, as well as Gibson and Snoop Dogg.

Starring Tyrese Gibson, Clé Bennett, Dylan Arnold, Christopher A’mmanuel, Michael Beasley, Ori Pfeffer, Tosin Morohunfola, Oleg Taktarov, with Scott Eastwood, and Ray Liotta in one of his final film roles, 1992 is directed by Ariel Vromen from a screenplay by Sascha Penn and Ariel Vromen and a story by Sascha Penn. It is produced by Ariel Vromen, Andreas Rommel, Maurice Fadida, Sascha Penn, and Adam Kolbrenner.

It’s been over two years since we sadly lost Ray Liotta, but the iconic actor did leave a handful of unreleased projects behind, including 1992, an action-crime thriller in which he stars alongside Tyrese Gibson and Scott Eastwood. Lionsgate has released the first official trailer for 1992, which features an intense final performance from Liotta.

Tyrese Gibsons stars in 1992 as Mercer, a man desperately trying to rebuild his life and relationship with his son (Christopher A’mmanuel) amidst the turbulent 1992 L.A. uprising following the Rodney King verdict. Across town, another father and son (Ray Liotta & Scott Eastwood) put their own strained relationship to the test as they plot a dangerous heist to steal catalytic converters, which contain valuable platinum, from the factory where Mercer works. As tensions rise in Los Angeles and chaos erupts, both families reach their boiling points when they collide.

Lionsgate’s 1992, the upcoming action-crime thriller starring Tyrese Gibson, directed by Ariel Vromen (The Iceman), and co-starring Ray Liotta in one of his final film roles, will be released in theaters on August 30, 2024.

Legendary hip-hop artist Snoop Dogg is boarding the film to executive produce through his Death Row Pictures banner. Adam Fogelson, chair of Lionsgate Motion Picture Group, Gibson, and Snoop Dogg jointly made the announcement today.

“1992 was a life-changing time for me, from ‘Deep Cover’ to ‘The Chronic.’ But as things in my life were coming together, everything in LA was coming apart. 1992 is a heist movie that really captures all of that,” said Snoop Dogg.

“This movie is about an LA moment. Ariel made an outstanding film that depicts this moment in time. From my first encounter with Tyrese in Baby Boy to the performance in 1992, I had to be a part of this. And it’s...

Lionsgate has set a release date of Labor Day weekend, August 30, for the action crime thriller 1992, which is one of Ray Liotta’s final film roles. The Emmy-winning actor co-starred in the movie opposite Tyrese Gibson. In addition today, Snoop Dogg boarded the movie as EP through his Death Row Pictures banner.

1992 joins other wide entries on August 30: Sony/Blumhouse’s horror movie They Listen, Showbiz Direct Distribution’s Dennis Quaid title Reagan, and Roadside Attractions’ Jason Patric thriller City of Dreams.

Here’s the 1992 poster that dropped today.

Liotta died in May 2022 at the age of 67 from heart and respiratory issues. At the time, there were several projects he had already shot, i.e, Elizabeth Banks’ Cocaine Bear and the Apple TV+ series Black Bird. Liotta received a posthumous Best Supporting Actor Limited Series Emmy nom for Black Bird; previously, he won the Drama Guest Actor Emmy in 2005 for NBC’s ER.

Attorney-turned-selling novelist Scott Turow made the cover of Time magazine the summer of 1990 describing him as the “Bard of the Litigious Age.” And 34 years later, the 75-year-old still is. Over the past four decades, Turow has written 13 works of fiction which have been translated into 40 languages and have sold more than 30 million copies. Several have been transformed into miniseries and TV movies.

In fact, Hollywood filmmakers were salivating in 1987 for the rights to Turow’s first novel, “Presumed Innocent,” a clever, sexy murder mystery with twists and turns that would baffle even Columbo, about a prosecutor accused of murdering the attractive colleague with whom he had been romantically involved “It began a sort of Hollywood frenzy,” Turow told me in a 1992 L.A. Times interview. “It was one weekend’s madness.” And for good reason, the novel spent 44 weeks on the New York Times best-seller list and another five months on the paperback charts.

Following reports of a Prison Break reboot series getting developed, the stars of the original show are partnering back up for another project. Dominic Purcell and Wentworth Miller, the lead stars of Prison Break, will again be leading the cast of their next TV series.

Per Variety, the two actors have been tapped to star in Snatchback, a new series in the works at Universal Television. The Shield writer and executive producer Scott Rosenberg is writing the series. This time, the two actors will be playing the roles of special operatives tasked with rescuing hostages in dangerous locations all around the world. Rosenberg is executive producing, as is Purcell under the actor's Hopetown Entertainment banner.

Based on the 2015 documentary film by David Sington, The Fear of 13 is the true story of Nick Yarris who in the early 1980s was charged with the kidnapping and attempted murder of a police officer in Pennsylvania. He was acquitted, but while awaiting trial became a suspect in a different case and was convicted of the abduction, rape and murder of a young woman and sentenced to death. He spent 22 years on death row in Pennsylvania and was released in 2004 when DNA evidence established his innocence.

Closer in tone to the sharp adult series “BoJack Horseman” than to Illumination’s bland “Sing” franchise, Netflix’s “Thelma the Unicorn” avoids being rendered completely unoriginal by its overly familiar premise thanks to consistent splashes of acid humor and a plethora of wacky supporting characters.

“Rebel Nun” will explore Sister Helen’s life to date and her ongoing fight against the death penalty.

“Sister Helen Prejean was a humble nun from Louisiana who embarked on a controversial battle that would change the world,” reads the logline. “Now 84 years old, Sister Helen is currently fighting to stop the execution of a Death Row inmate in Oklahoma even lawmakers are convinced is innocent.”

The doc is directed by Dominic Sivyer (“The...

Dr. Dre made his first late-night television appearance in three decades last night, stopping by Jimmy Kimmel Live after earning a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The rapper spoke to host Jimmy Kimmel in a lengthy interview about his career, with Snoop Dogg and 50 Cent later joining the conversation.

During the interview, Dr. Dre shared his enthusiasm for getting the star, his unlikely fans (which have apparently included a group of nuns), and the collaborative process of making music. “Do artists from other genres often approach you...

Shaquille O’Neal retired from the NBA 13 years ago, but he’s never lost his competitive spirit.

When he’s asked about becoming the second player in NBA history to have three retired jerseys, he asks, “Who’s first?” When he speaks about coming back to the hip-hop music scene, he commands: “I have to make sure they say, ‘Shaq is the best rapper/athlete ever.’”

His competitive nature is also the reason why he’s returning with his wild and epic pre-Super Bowl party Shaq’s Fun House, which is in its sixth year and will take place at Las Vegas’ Xs Nightclub at Wynn on Feb. 9, two days before the Big Game. “I’m a jealous competitor. The reason why we’re doing Shaq’s Fun House? I want people to say that’s the best party ever,” he explains to THR.

“It’s competition. We got into this...

Some of the best romances are unconventional ones between two artsy or peculiar people. TV characters who are their full authentic selves can be a bit eccentric. However, that means that they attract and keep people around them who truly understand and appreciate them.

Sitcoms and tongue-in-cheek dark fantasy TV shows are great settings for exploring odd characters. From strange royals loosely inspired by history to surprisingly altruistic civil servants, there is a match for every person. Sometimes two people with completely disparate personalities shock audiences when they get together, but they somehow make sense and excellent writing ultimately sells the romantic pairing.

What made the original television run of "The Twilight Zone" (from 1959-1964) so special was the way individual episodes could function on multiple levels. Since the show was an anthology, and every episode had its own premise, it was free to explore whatever it wanted to. The first level of a given episode was the superficially exciting one that put you in the shoes of a protagonist faced with an unnerving science-fiction premise. But the other level went deeper, studying human nature at extremes. Host and show creator Rod Serling would show up to deliver the moral, but the twists, unhappy endings, and central ironies continue to be surprising and disturbing.

The series typically explored prejudice in the form of racism or anti-intellectualism, or in one of its most famous episodes, the idea of beauty standards. But it also explored nostalgia, whether for a bygone way of life or for the one that got away.

Who’s ready to go back behind bars? In a surprise announcement, Deadline reports that Mayans M.C. co-creator, executive producer, and showrunner Elgin James is developing a new Prison Break project for Hulu. Written and executive-produced by James through his Sierra Drive studio, the revised version marks a new chapter of the incarceration thriller.

Elgin is keeping details about the new Prison Break project in solitary. However, Deadline says, “it is not expected to involve the characters who were at the center of the original series and its followups on Fox.” The original Prison Break debuted in 2005, following Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller) and Lincoln Burrows (Dominic Purcell) as two brothers hatching a plan to escape Fox River State Penitentiary. With Lincoln heading for Death Row, it’s only a matter of time before push comes to shove, and the brothers must enact their plan or face the consequences of their actions.

Dark Sky Films gave the The Third Saturday in October slasher double feature a VOD and digital release back in May, and while we haven’t heard word of a Blu-ray or DVD release yet, the movies have made their way onto the Tubi streaming service… and soon, they’ll also be available on VHS! Which seems very fitting for a pair of movies that are meant to be throwbacks to decades gone by. In addition to the limited run VHS release, both original scores composed by WU10 will be available to stream on all major platforms starting this Friday, October 20th.

Created by brothers Hugo and Roger Menduiña, “Lucio’s Treasure” is produced by Friki’s CEO Ana Manresa and Alberto Rull, Vertice’s EVP production and content.

Mike Henderson, a founding member of the bluegrass band the SteelDrivers and a frequent co-writer of Chris Stapleton’s, died Friday. He was 70. Henderson’s former bandmates in the SteelDrivers confirmed his death in a Facebook post.

Welcome to the premiere episode of Doc Talk, our new podcast hosted by Oscar-winning writer-director John Ridley and Deadline’s documentary editor Matt Carey. We’re kicking off with a deep dive into a signature power of documentary: The capacity to right a grave wrong in the criminal justice system by freeing a wrongfully convicted prisoner. Only a handful of major nonfiction filmmakers has achieved this extraordinary feat, springing men and women who faced Death Row or life sentences.

We talk with Errol Morris (The Thin Blue Line), Joe Berlinger (the Paradise Lost trilogy), Amy Berg (The Case Against Adnan Syed and West of Memphis), and Deborah Esquenazi (Southwest of Salem: The Story of the San Antonio Four).

Morris shares his theory of why Randall Dale Adams — the man who almost certainly would have been put to death by the state of Texas if not for The Thin Blue Line — turned around and sued him.

Wonder Woman's traditional stereotype as a strong yet gracious warrior is not entirely accurate - she has always had a dark side. Wonder Woman is willing to kill villains if it means saving lives, as she believes it is her duty as a hero. While she believes in the rule of law, Wonder Woman has her own ways of permanently dealing with criminals who are too powerful for the justice system.

While Wonder Woman is commonly depicted as DC's hard-hitting warrior with an immaculate sense of compassion, there's a limit to the traditional wholesomeness she usually brings to a fight. After centuries of fighting on the frontline to protect the values of truth and justice, she's more than willing to end a fight — permanently.

The limits of Wonder Woman's tolerance are on display in Justice League #22 by Geoff Johns, Ivan Reis, Oclair Albert, Joe Prado, and Rod Reis, in which the Justice League,...
