I Pray You Bloody Your Spear Tonight | Predator: Killer of Killers (2025) on Hulu

Confident that the Predator franchise is finally back on track, executives at 20th Century Studios greenlit not just one but two new movies for release in 2025, both shepherded by Prey director Dan Trachtenberg.

Too Much Dust in the Air | Hold Your Breath (2024) on Hulu

Hardly all that long ago, all TV series were photographed in a common, standardized aspect ratio designed to fill a television screen. The idea that anything intended for home viewing on a TV might – intentionally – not fit the screen seemed almost inconceivable. Nowadays, however, we’ve experienced an explosion of shows shosiret in widescreen… Read More List of TV Shows with Aspect Ratios Wider Than 16:9
