In 2022, It Was A Huge Hit On Netflix, And In Early October, The "grotesque" Series Returns Once Again

On October 3rd, Netflix releases a new season of 'Monster', focusing this time on Ed Gein's chilling story.

Netflix has released the full trailer for the third season of Ryan Murphy's Monster anthology series. This time, the story centers around Ed Gein, played by Charlie Hunnam.

The series transports viewers to the frigid Wisconsin of the 1950s, where Ed Gein, a reclusive farmer, hides a horrific secret. His remote farmhouse becomes the site of crimes that would leave a lasting mark on the horror genre for decades.

Cultural Horror Icon


Ed Gein's actions inspired notorious fictional characters like Norman Bates, Leatherface, and Buffalo Bill. His obsession with his mother and his psychotic state made him an archetype of the American serial killer.

The third season of Monster delves into Gein's psychological abyss and the impact of his crimes on both the local community and the broader American culture. The first season from 2022 focused on Jeffrey Dahmer. It was a hit, though both critics and viewers found parts of the series "grotesque" and "disgusting". Season 2 may have even received a weaker reception.

Big Names Return


Alongside Charlie Hunnam as Ed Gein, Laurie Metcalf plays Augusta Gein, his domineering mother. Tom Hollander portrays filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock, with Olivia Williams as his wife, Alma Reville. Starting October 3rd, exclusively on Netflix.

Thanos Returns To Disney+ With Plenty Of Violence: That Disney Would Allow This...

The new animated series 'Marvel Zombies' dives into a dark and daring storyline within the Marvel universe that fans won't want to miss.

Marvel fans, take note: Thanos is back, and this time with more violence than we ever expected from Disney+. The new animated series Marvel Zombies takes a bold step within the Marvel universe, featuring a grim story where heroes and villains are turned into the undead. That Disney, known for its family-friendly content, dares to launch this series makes it even more noteworthy.

The series is set in an alternate reality where the Avengers have been transformed into undead beings by a devastating zombie virus. As Earth's mightiest heroes morph into undead monsters, the future of humanity rests in the hands of a small group of survivors. Their daunting task is to find the key to stop this plague while facing superpowers that now side with the dead.

Production


Behind this project is Bryan Andrews, known from What If...?, who takes on the direction and showrunner role once again. Together with writer and producer Zeb Wells, who previously worked on She-Hulk and Deadpool & Wolverine, a dark tone is set that we don't often see within the MCU. Familiar voices return, including Iman Vellani as Kamala Khan.

Season 1 of Marvel Zombies shows how the zombie virus turns everything upside down. The series highlights not only brutal fights with undead superheroes but also the moral dilemmas faced by the survivors. As Andrews noted earlier: “We didn’t just want to create a horror story, but a nightmare that also evokes emotion.”

The Return Of Thanos


The second part Goes even further. Fans can prepare for bloody confrontations with zombie versions of iconic heroes and villains. Thanos, who previously made half the universe disappear, returns, this time as a monster that sows fear even in the realm of the dead.



Marvel Zombies consists of four episodes and premieres exclusively on Disney+ on September 24, 2025. With just four episodes and a story that grabs you from the start, it promises to be a fast-paced, intense viewing experience.

This Major Streaming Service Seems To Be Getting (even) Much More Expensive Quickly: Now Deemed "too Cheap"

Warner Bros. Discovery is contemplating a price increase for HBO Max due to high-quality content and competition with Netflix.

In a time when viewers are getting tired of the high prices of streaming services, there is one major streaming service that finds itself too inexpensive.

Last week, one of the executives from Warner Bros. Discovery mentioned at a technology conference that they may further raise the prices of their streaming channel HBO Max, given that their offerings are of great quality and way too cheap.

Further Increasing Prices


CEO David Zaslav stated: "The fact that this is quality, and that applies to our entire business from films, television to streaming, we see it as an opportunity to further increase prices. We believe we are far below the market level. But we are taking it easy."

By this, he meant that their major competitor Netflix charges higher amounts for their subscriptions. He also mentioned that HBO Max will be stricter with subscribers and how they are using the streaming service according to their rules.

Quickly Becoming Much More Expensive


This major streaming service thus appears to be quickly becoming much more expensive. This may mean that you should hastily watch films like The Penguin and Sinners, so you can switch to cheaper streaming options with a peace of mind. Forewarned is forearmed...

The Latest Film With Margot Robbie Is Receiving Terrible Reviews

The Latest Film With Margot Robbie Is Receiving Terrible Reviews

The Australian actress has delivered many gems, but this one misses the mark entirely.

Margot Robbie seemed to produce nothing but gems at the beginning of her career. Unfortunately, her recent works are less well-received. This is also happening for A Big, Bold, Beautiful Journey.

She is not alone in this endeavor. Alongside Robbie, the other lead role is played by Colin Farrell. The latter takes on the character of David, who is heading to a wedding in his old car equipped with a unique GPS.

A Special Encounter


During his journey, he meets Sarah (Robbie). Together, they head to the destination suggested by the GPS. Along the way, they confront their past and explore beautiful landscapes, which leads to a deeper connection.

As they contemplate their future, they face a crucial decision about their relationship. Reviews describe the film as visually appealing but lacking in depth and emotional authenticity. This is reflected in its Rotten Tomatoes score: a disappointing 52%.

Robbie's Career


Robbie's career boasts impressive highlights. She has made a name for herself with films like The Wolf of Wall Street, I, Tonya, and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. However, she has also had some flops to her name, such as Z for Zachariah and Amsterdam. Unfortunately, A Big Bold Beautiful Journey appears to belong to this latter category.

Mega-project Of 150 Million: Discover This Breathtaking Sci-fi Adventure On Disney+

The sci-fi adventure 'Elio' is now available on Disney+ after disappointing box office earnings, giving audiences a chance to experience it at home.

A film that received little attention in theaters gets a second chance with audiences. Starting today, the sci-fi adventure Elio can be watched on Disney+, allowing many viewers to discover the animated film after its theatrical run.

Despite high expectations, Elio only grossed 154 million dollars worldwide, while the production budget stood at 150 million. In Germany, fewer than half a million visitors went to see the film. Thus, the financial outcome was disappointing, but that does not reflect its content, as the film is designed as a colorful and lighthearted adventure with a strong emotional core.

A Boy In Space


The story revolves around young Elio, who, after the death of his parents, lives with his Aunt Olga (Zoe Salda). She is involved in research on space debris while he increasingly feels out of place on Earth. When extraterrestrial beings mistakenly select him as a representative of humanity in an intergalactic forum, he suddenly must prove that he can take on that role. The threat of Lord Grigon and Warlord Worm only makes his task heavier.

In addition to the adventurous storyline, the focus is strongly on Elio's personal struggle. He attempts to cope with loss and the feeling of not belonging anywhere. It is this that makes the film relatable, even though the entire setting takes place in an alien environment.

Available On Multiple Platforms


Those who want to see Elio can find it on Disney+. This provides a broader audience the opportunity to experience the animated film, regardless of the disappointing box office figures.

Confusing Timeline? Here's How 'The Boys' And 'Gen V' Intertwine

Gen V takes place after the fourth season of The Boys, while the story remains intricately intertwined.

The universe of The Boys continues to expand with multiple spin-offs. One major question among fans remains: where does Gen V fit into the timeline of the main series? With the second season, more clarity is now emerging.

The first season of Gen V occurred between the third and fourth seasons of The Boys. This created a clear bridge between both narratives. For the upcoming spin-off Vought Rising, a completely different angle, namely the 1950s, has been chosen. This shows that the franchise is increasingly diverging in time and theme, making it sometimes difficult for viewers to position the sequence of events.

After Season Four Of The Boys


The new season of Gen V directly follows the events of The Boys Season Four. The series begins with the new school year at Godolkin University, which takes place approximately eight months after the presidential elections and Inauguration Day from the main series. Thus, Gen V begins in August, while the impact of Homelander on society is still palpable.

This power takeover by Homelander plays a significant role in the storyline. In the wake of Season One, Marie and her friends are stuck, while Cate and Sam have now made their appearance in the Seven. Their choices and loyalties carry through into the second season, showing just how closely the series remain connected.

Preparation For The Final Act


Although some viewers may hope for a more standalone plotline, Gen V remains strongly tied to the main series for now. Season Two already lays the groundwork for The Boys Season Five, which will conclude the first major chapter of the franchise. It is known that Starlight will make a cameo in the opening episode of Gen V, along with several other characters from the main series. This way, the universe becomes increasingly intertwined before it might develop into a more independent narrative later on.
