There have been some horror bangers this year, like Ready or Not 2, Send Help, and 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple. However, the terror is just ramping up! And adding to the pack is Damian McCarthy’s (Oddity) latest film, Hokum, hitting theaters this weekend.

Sharp. Biting. Insightful. These are the words we think of when we reference 2006’s The Devil Wears Prada. So does The Devil Wears Prada 2, the long-awaited reunion between stars Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci follow in the high-end stilettoed footsteps of its well-regarded predecessor? Let’s just say, this time around, the sequel had me pursing my lips.

CinemaCon was an embarrassment of riches this year. We brought you our coverage of Warner Bros. amazing panel earlier this week. While that was certainly an incredible presentation, Universal Pictures was not about to be outdone, bringing some incredible projects and talent to their star-studded presentation this year.

Last week was a whirlwind of excitement, as CinemaCon lit up Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas! Though the annual trade show is a business-forward event for theater owners and exhibitors, the major film studios were present to talk about the exciting slate of films expected to light up screens for all larger and smaller theaters across the country. One of the larger presentations of the week was Amazon MGM Studios. With much gratitude to Amazon MGM, The Nerds of Color was invited to cover the red carpet for their presentation to talk to the stars and filmmakers behind some of their biggest films of the year!

Bringing He-Man and Masters of the Universe to life is something that would be a challenge for any filmmaker. The dense world and complex characters coupled with a hardcore fanbase that has proven to be incredibly protective of its mythology are among some of the trickier barriers said filmmaker would need to navigate through. Fortunately for Amazon MGM Studios, they found the perfect filmmaker for the job with Travis Knight.

What do you get when you take a narcissistic figurehead for your country with a fragile ego, give him power he shouldn’t have, give him an army of followers to round up his critics, and allow him to cut loose doing whatever he wants with that power? Well in addition to America in 2026, you get the world of The Boys.

I am a proud Filipino American nerd. As such, I grew up here in the US searching for, but never quite finding, mainstream Hollywood movies that propelled the voice of the Filipino community strongly.

Today, Project Hail Mary officially launched in theaters everywhere. All I can say after seeing it is this is hands down one of the best films of the 2020s. The film is a dazzling sci-fi adventure about sacrifice, loneliness, survival, and friendship. We were recently able to speak to stars Ryan Gosling and Sandra Hüller about these themes during the film’s press junket. However, you simply cannot speak about the idea of friendship in the movie, without talking to Ryland Grace’s buddy on Earth, Carl — played by Emmy nominee Lionel Boyce!

Believe the hype. Project Hail Mary is a remarkable movie! Helmed by Phil Lord and Chris Miller, who brought us the Spider-Verse films, the film is hands down one of the best cinematic experiences of the decade, brimming with heart, humor, incredible visuals, and stellar acting. The last of which is courtesy of the film’s incredible stars: Academy Award nominees, Ryan Gosling and Sandra Hüller. Recently, The Nerds of Color was able to sit down in person with the duo to chat about their incredible new movie.

Ready or Not came out almost 7 years ago. And while the film, of course, made star Samara Weaving a household name, it also skyrocketed directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett (aka “Radio Silence”) into the stratosphere. In the aftermath of the surprise hit, Bettinelli-Olpin and Gillett successfully relaunched the then-dormant Scream franchise with two of its best installments, and brought us an amazing little surprise in Abigail. Now, they’re bringing back Weaving’s Grace for another killer game of hide and seek with Ready or Not 2: Here I Come!

When Ready or Not premiered in 2019, it quickly became a surprise hit, cementing Samara Weaving as a rising horror star and establishing Grace Le Domas MacCaullay as one of the genre’s great modern Final Girls. For me, as well, it was an immensely enjoyable surprise, coming out of nowhere to become one of my favorite movies in a year stacked with heavy hitters like Avengers: Endgame and Parasite.
They might not be Superman, but they’re still heroes! Today, medical professionals are being questioned more than ever before by everything and everyone, from people on TikTok and YouTube, to government officials attempting to discredit science and medical facts. During times like this, folks need to be reminded of all the medical community does for people, and the proven scientific expertise they actually provide everyone for the benefit of all mankind. This is why it’s the perfect time for the return of one of the best, most heartfelt medical comedies of all: Scrubs.

At its core Star Wars has always been about rebels and underdogs standing up to dictators using their own private armies to take over the galaxy. Since its debut in 2019, The Mandalorian strengthened those themes, centering on a ragtag duo of outcasts fighting the good fight against villains still trying their hardest to hold on to authoritarianism. Now the battle continues on the big screen as Din Djarin and Grogu return in The Mandalorian and Grogu!

This past year director Dan Trachtenberg, who brought us Prey and Predator: Killer of Killers introduced us to the franchise’s first Yautja protagonist, Dek, in Predator: Badlands! Portrayed by breakout star, Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi, both Trachtenberg and Koloamatangi infused pathos and complexity into Dek, bringing us something completely different; a sympathetic and richer side to Yautja culture.

Why are so many drawn to toxic love? Like an addiction, many cling to the idea that only a single person can complete their soul and possess their very being, holding on to the feeling of euphoria that exists when that person is by your side. However for any and all purity that might seemingly be derived from love, sometimes it can be utterly poisonous if the obsession consumes you.

Jason Momoa and Dave Bautista are currently crushing the charts on Prime Video right now, with their new-API centric action film, The Wrecking Crew. We recently had a chance to sit down with Director, Ángel Manuel Soto (Blue Beetle), as well as stars Morena Baccarin, Jacob Batalon, Temuera Morrison, Frankie Adams, and Roimata Fox. Now it’s time to get a bit darker as we chat with the actor behind one of the film’s most memorable villains – global music and film sensation, Miyavi!

Back in 2023, director Angel Manuel Soto brought us one of the best films in the DCEU with Blue Beetle. As a filmmaker he approaches his films with a kinetic energy and charm that keeps audiences on the edge of their seats, while also laughing at the comedic chemistry of his lead actors. He also is a POC filmmaker who does tremendous things by promoting POC talent. And this is all the more apparent with his latest action film, The Wrecking Crew, headlined by stars Jason Momoa and Dave Bautista!

Let’s make no mistake about this. This first month of 2026 has proven to be a disgusting era in US history, with the president’s ICE patrols continuing to kidnap and murder people on the streets of Minneapolis and all around the country. The irony of all of the horrors here is that it makes a Marvel Studios show, like Daredevil: Born Again — set in a fantastical universe — feel so tragically close to home. However, in many ways, that’s why we need Matt Murdock now way more than ever before.

Audiences are going ape for Primate, which surprisingly became the #1 thriller in the country this past weekend! It’s been a while since horror fans were treated to an old school creature feature, and thankfully the monkey shines of a rabid chimpanzee named Ben were what they needed to satisfy that itch. More rare than any simian-based horror movie, however, is one with prominent Asian cast members. Which is why we were so pleased when we got the opportunity to chat with one of the film’s stars, mixed-Asian actress, Victoria Wyant, who is wonderful as Kate in the new chiller!
