gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-12-07 06:00:13

Oscar Isaac is a perpetually busy actor, and though he’s made his share of dramas, he’s particularly beloved by genre fans for his work in that realm: Dune, Moon Knight, Ex Machina, the Spider-Verse series, and even those animated Addams Family movies. But atop that mountain sits Star Wars, featuring Isaac as rebel pilot Poe Dameron across the sequel trilogy. With Poe surviving the events of The Rise of Skywalker, might there be a chance fans will see him again? Speaking to Variety in a new int

We Finally Know When Guillermo del Toro’s ‘Frankenstein’ Will Hit Theaters and Netflix

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-12-13 02:00:31

It takes a very special Netflix movie to get a theatrical release before hitting the streamer, and Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein is certainly that. Netflix just announced it’ll release the monster movie in select theaters on October 17 before debuting on the platform November 7. Now, there’s no word yet on just how “select” the “select theaters” will be. Is it two screens? Is it 2,000?

There's been an uptick in high-protein snacks, shakes and protein powders, so it’s no surprise that protein is still a hot topic. If you rely on supplements to help achieve your protein quota, then you know how heavy traditional protein shakes can sometimes feel, even when mixed with a high-speed blender.

REI Co-op Base Camp 6 Review: All-Weather, All-Season Family Tent

When my wife and I had kids, one of the first things we did was get a bigger tent. Fifteen years ago, the nicest car camping tent I could find was REI's Kingdom 6. All these years later, that tent is still going strong (a friend is off camping in it right now), but it turned out that we never really needed all that room. I'd happily trade that room for little more strength in stormy weather, which always seem to find me when I'm camping, and a smaller footprint that will fit in more spots. That
