Could the real Carmen Sandiego movie ever match this Taiwanese animated trailer?

Earlier this month, it was announced that a live-action movie was in the works for Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?, the popular game that became a television hit as both a game show and animated series. Jennifer Lopez was attached to produce and potentially star in the film about a globe-trotting thief.

It was only a matter of time before the news got the Taiwan animation treatment, but rather than offer up a straight-up report on the announcement, Next Media Animation has created their own version of a trailer for the film.

A mash-up of Sherlock Holmes, Iron Man, and Ace Ventura movies with a dose of The Oregon Trail game added to the mix, the trailer has to be seen to be believed.

After watching it, we’re fairly certain that the real Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? movie could never, ever be as good as the one teased in this animated trailer. Heck, they even make sure to include Rockapella.

A man and woman stand across and face each other.

Yellowstone season 5, part 2 wasted no time addressing Kevin Costner's departure. John Dutton is dead, and now his children are in an all-out war. On one side, Jamie (Wes Bentley) is plotting to take over his father's position as governor of Montana. On the other side, Beth (Kelly Reilly) and Kayce (Luke Grimes) are looking into how their father died, with Beth convinced that Jamie orchestrated the murder.

With only four episodes remaining, Taylor Sheridan still has many loose ends to tie up. Something tells us that John won't be the only Dutton to die this season. Find out how to watch the next episode of Yellowstone below.

3 Netflix shows we can’t wait to see in December 2024
Two people sit in a car in Black Doves.

It's hard to believe December is just around the corner. It seems like it was only yesterday that I was watching Twisters in the movie theater and enjoying the warm summer weather. Now, I have to stress out about traveling for the holidays and shopping for loved ones.

As an escape, I tend to turn to Netflix to find my next latest binge-worthy series. And the streamer's December lineup looks like it won't disappoint. From a British spy show to a black comedy about a desirable L.A. home, Netflix might be saving its best shows for last in 2024.

Get Glicked: 3 great double features like Wicked and Gladiator 2 you need to watch
Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo in Wicked and Pedro Pascal and Paul Mescal in Gladiator II.

Movie industry executives are sanguine that this weekend’s releases of Wicked and Gladiator II can provide a repeat of last summer’s “Barbenheimer” box office miracle. Some have even, optimistically, nicknamed the future phenomenon “Glicked.”

It seems Hollywood’s plan for the future is the juxtaposition of films that are monumentally different in tone. It's a return to the "double features" that were once regularly booked in America's theaters. If you’re looking for similarly incongruous double bills, look no further.
