Prime Video’s *Fallout* series was a huge hit last year, and the video game itself has been popular for years. Everyone seems to love its unique post-apocalyptic setting with a retro 1950s vibe. However, the *Fallout* haunted house at Halloween Horror Nights Hollywood wasn’t one of our favorites. It wasn’t *bad*, exactly – there were some cool elements like the impressive vault door, the desolate wasteland scenery, and a generally creepy atmosphere that matched the show. The Ghoul made a few appearances, though we wished there were more. The biggest issue was that long sections of the house lacked jump scares or actors trying to frighten guests. We did really enjoy the giant mutant bear, though! Overall, we just felt that the *Fallout* franchise deserved a more spectacular haunted house experience.

We paused production of the show last Wednesday to de-escalate a sensitive situation during a difficult time for the nation. We felt some recent remarks were inappropriate, and wanted to avoid causing further upset. After careful discussions with Jimmy over the past few days, we’ve decided to bring the show back on Tuesday.

Everything had to be approved by the estate of Stan Lee. While some might find this technology a bit unsettling, it’s likely Stan himself would have been thrilled. He was famous for bringing characters back to life in his comics-often as robots or holograms! Bob Sabouni, who leads Stan Lee Legacy Programs at Kartoon Studios, explained that they’re committed to ensuring any ‘voice’ of Stan aligns with his known beliefs. They have plenty of archival footage to work with, allowing them to create a simulation that captures his spirit, even if it doesn’t use his exact words. The company Proto Hologram was responsible for creating this Stan Lee simulation.

Tom Holland was briefly hospitalized after suffering a mild concussion while filming the new Spider-Man movie, *Brand New Day*, in Glasgow. According to *Deadline*, filming was paused on Friday so he could receive treatment. While he’s taking a short break to recover, sources say he’s expected to return to set soon.

There were early suggestions that Brainiac might have appeared in the first *Superman* movie, but it seems James Gunn chose to hold off on the villain to give him a proper introduction. We already know the *Superman* sequel, *Man of Tomorrow*, will feature Lex Luthor and Superman teaming up against a major threat. Now, it appears that threat will be Brainiac, which makes sense considering their history in DC Comics and *Superman: The Animated Series* – they’ve often been rivals themselves.

The second season of *Gen V* immediately throws viewers into a disturbing and shocking scene. The episode flashes back to 1967, introducing a young Thomas Godolkin as he desperately tries to prevent scientists from experimenting with a new superpowered drug at the Odessa lab. He arrives too late, and the trial quickly spirals out of control, resulting in gruesome and horrifying effects – people exploding, bursting into flames, and even growing tentacles. It’s safe to say the experiment was a complete disaster.

The story follows a man who suddenly becomes wealthy, seemingly to illustrate that money can’t solve everything or guarantee happiness. However, it *does* alleviate many of his difficulties, and he appears genuinely happy in the trailer for *Good Fortune*, as Keanu Reeves’ character playfully observes. So much for that lesson, then.

In Endless Legend 2, the main storyline for the Last Lords might require you to sacrifice your own people. This can be tricky if you’re new to the faction, as it involves a special game mechanic you might not be familiar with.
