Game of Thrones, HBO’s biggest hit of the last decade, recently launched production on its final season, which is expected to air on the premium network in 2019, with a series of episodes that are longer in length but fewer in number. However, that doesn’t mean we’ll have seen the last of the Kingdom of Westeros. That’s because HBO is working on developing multiple spinoffs of the series, based on various aspects of George R....
Update: According to some of our readers, it’s possible to combine Apple Card accounts even with an active installment plan.

It turns out that the Arrowverse - in anticipation of its introduction of Batwoman - asked Gotham to use their Bat Signal, and producers said no. Batman is, and will seemingly forever be, one of the most popular superheroes in the world. Such is the popularity of the Caped Crusader that multiple series are managing to get made that only tangentially relate to his crime-fighting exploits. In 2014, Warner Bros. began producing Gotham for FOX, a prequel series looking at the early days of the titular city, and following the evolution of Jim Gordon and Bruce Wayne into the characters fans know and love....

Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again brings back the cast, the ABBA and the stunning Greek locales of the original - but does it go one better and include a post-credits scene? Long-rumored but rarely-expected, Mamma Mia 2 goes The Godfather Part II route by both continuing the story of the Swedish-singing, multi-father family unit and showing how it all came to be; we follow Sophie (Amanda Seyfried) dealing with her pregnancy, and the younger years of her mother Donna (Lily James, taking the mic from Meryl Streep) teased in the first film....
The J.J. Abrams-produced Overlord is a fun B-movie that inserts zombie-Nazis into a pivotal moment of World War II - but does it have a post-credits scene teasing a potential sequel? Since the movie was first announced as a supernatural WWII thriller produced by Abrams, fans started to speculate Overlord might be a secret Cloverfield movie. After all, the science fiction franchise has become well known for surprising its fans. However, when the first trailer for Overlord released, it teased a contained story set in WWII - albeit one that includes zombie Nazis....
Disney’s live-action Dumbo remake looks to be making one big change to the animated original. Directed by Tim Burton from a screenplay by Ehren Kruger, Dumbo promises to be an emotive story with a lot of heart, just like its original animated counterpart. However, there are sure to be substantial differences from the original movie which, at just 64 minutes long, is the shortest Disney movie of all. While the trailer definitely captures the visual style and essence of Dumbo, one big change means that an overriding problem with the original will be fixed....
There are some gaming fans who will tell you Fallout Tactics is one of the most underappreciated titles ever created. Full disclosure, I’m not one of them - having played the title before and enjoyed it for what it was, I never left feeling like I needed more post-apocalyptic real-time strategy in the same vein. Dustwind Studios appears to disagree. The developer recently launched Dustwind out of Steam’s Early Access program, looking to capitalize on the recent popularity of finely made isometric games while providing a niche that has very few bigger studios vying for its fans....
Following Elon Musk calling out Apple and Tim Cook over a drop in advertising spend on Twitter, its 30% App Store fee, and more, there’s been a shift.

Why does all of the randomness, the yelling, and the ten-episode stretches where main characters stand around powering up while muttering intensely to themselves have to come to an end? Why can’t the party keep going on just like it always has?
