See John Mulaney live before he probably does himself in. I enjoy the man's comedy and look forward to his new live talk show, but he's got some demons that Vegas is probably putting bets on. The first episode is Wednesday at 7pm.
Wanted to warn you about this one at the end of the month. Holi is a lot of fun and basically unlimited Sprite on top of that only makes it better.
"A Holi experience like no other in Los Angeles. Holi & The Beach 2025 returns with an all-new bigger music stage, amazing experiences and an epic day of non-stop color play. We invite you to embark on an electrifying outdoor Holi day party featuring celebrity DJ’s, 5000+ people, food vendors & trucks, and an afternoon of messy, color fun on the BEACH. This year, Sprite will be on deck serving out complimentary beverages and water throughout the festival! Expect super fun activations, photo-booths and more-making LA’s favorite Holi not to be missed. Holi & The Beach is produced by LA’s #1 Bollywood event company, Radio5 Events."
Woah, GKids is betting on Witch Watch, just like it did with DanDaDan giving the anime a three episode premiere in theaters for one night March 16th. Then, the show starts streaming on multiple services April 6th.
To see the first three episodes in theaters at the dubbed Witch Watch: Watch Party go here.
What's it about? A witch starts high school and wants to fall in love with essentially her bodyguard. It's a romcom with magic to the highest level. And, it's from the guy who did Sket Dance, a fav anime of ours. Check out the trailer and English voice cast below and you';; get the feel for the show.
We're also happy with a theme this year of being a campus, like everyone attending is in a middle/high school anime. We hope cosplay reflects that with robots in sailor uniforms.
Looking back, we're not sure if AX has really done a theme or sold it as much, but we're behind the idea and hope there's a heavily pushed theme every year from now on.
The AX title for the theme is officially Academia. Study hard, kids!

If you've enjoyed any of the old Cartoon Network shows check it out on Max. A huge crossover event with older shows like Dexter's Laboratory, The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy and The Powerpuff Girls.
A lot of fun and callbacks to some amazing shows. Sadly, this is the end of Jellystone! which lived and died on Max and didn't even get to shine on Cartoon Network proper.
And. gotta say, Max the streaming service is as abysmal as ever. Finding this episode or just the show, without just putting in the title to search was awful. This service can't promote it' own new content, what a joke.

From Kiana Khansmith a new take on the magical girl. Take a some time to watch this 11-minute animatic about a young girl who just doesn't want to be a magical girl, no more.
Been following Kia on X for a while now and crazy to see how much hype this is getting. I mainly grew fond of her for her online comics of Jessie shaking up with with Ash Ketchum's Mom from Pokemon. Kiana's a storyboard artist in her main grind.
Here's hoping people seeing this and give her an option to do her own show.
SYNOPSIS:
Country bumpkin Timuchin comes to the city to enroll in the police academy. There he is pranked by a lovely young woman who eventually cottons to his courtship. When they run afoul of local gangsters his Dudley Do Right persona and studied obsession with martial arts send him on a bare-fisted mission to thwart the baddies on his own and rescue the damsel in distress. This inspired homage to Jackie Chan by way of urban Kazakhstan is a boisterous roller coaster ride of old school action movie thrills, spills and other hilarious antics.
Secret Mall Apartment is in select theaters March 21st.
We've been waiting for Secret Mall Apartment to end it's run in the festival circuit. A crazy premise of people living inside a mall in a secret apartment they created. A perfect lazy Sunday Netflix find perhaps? You'll have to see it's theatrical run, before it getting put on on streaming.
- Jesse Eisenberg is the exec producer on it.
-Still no official poster as of writing this.
Update: They did itSYNOPSIS
In 2003, eight young Rhode Islanders created a secret apartment in a hidden space inside the Providence Place Mall and lived in it for four years, filming everything along the way. They snuck in furniture, tapped into the mall’s electricity, and even secretly constructed a brick wall with a locking door, smuggling in over 2 tons of cinderblock. Far more than just a wild prank, the secret apartment became a deeply meaningful place for all its inhabitants – a personal expression of defiance against local gentrification, a boundary-pushing work of public/private art, and finally, a 750 square foot space that sticks it to the man!

Just love Tekken 8 keeps going fun and crazy with rollout of characters. Meet Anna Williams, she's nuts.
to a T has a release date of May 28th. A hard name to sell from Annapurna Interactive and the creator of Katamari Damacy, Keita Takahashi. You follow the character of "teen" stuck in a T pose on their day-to-day adventures. Can't wait to just fall in love with the adorable look of the game.
*BTW, that giraffe is Rebecca Sugar, creator of Steven Universe
*to a T, Kata -mari Dama-cy, sounding a bit similar when you say them close to each other, or at least good for a rap verse down hte line.
Two more from Annapurna. Talking about music we have the PS5 version of Sayonara Wild Hearts, improved in every way and no loading times coming out. We loved it on Switch, so it's nice to see it resurface on other consoles. Below we have Skin Deep. A cat filled, first person shooter, out in April.The Monkey took a drive around Hollywood. This is how it went. pic.twitter.com/wL5muqzZyt

Gotta give this to the marketing team, that was bananas. Here's hoping most people got it was for a movie and didn't call emergency services.

Just some great fan art for the top nominees and a reminder that driving/parking (street closures) anywhere near Hollywood and Highland this weekend would be a big mistake.
Here's everything from the update, but do look at guides online on how to find it all, it can be tricky. And, once again this is a game still in Beta, it's not finished, you can wait until the game is actually finished to play.
We loved Hades I, so we're okay seeing Hades II slowly get built out.
Just a look at all the titles that caught are eye from PlayStation's State of Play.
