Neon Bought Oz Perkins’ Longlegs After Seeing Just One Shot of Nic Cage

Genre filmmaker Osgood Perkins is on a roll after the moderate success of 2020’s fairy tale terror Gretel & Hansel, as well as the summer phenomenon that was 2024’s supernatural serial killer thriller, Longlegs. Now this week sees him tackling a story by the king of horror himself, Stephen King, with the comedic splatter film […]

It has been nearly a decade since Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens debuted in theaters. The film was a once-in-a-generation event, as the final domestic box office gross is still the highest in cinematic history (unadjusted for inflation). Suffice it to say, the flick was an honest-to-goodness pop culture phenomenon, and with it, came all of the collectible merch. In fact, fans got their hands on The Force Awakens merchandise a few months ahead of schedule, with their release commemorated by Disney’s first “Force Friday” in early September 2015. 

While every subsequent Disney Star Wars theatrical effort had a similar event, nothing quite compared to the first. Aficionados of all things the galaxy far, far away lined up outside stores, waiting to get their paws on the latest Star Wars merch. LEGO was at the forefront of this campaign, of course, dropping an initial wave of seven brand-new sets. 

The Danish toymaker continued to produce The Force Awakens and other Star Wars Sequel Trilogy sets for the next few years, but the flame dwindled following the release of The Rise of Skywalker in 2019. In the years since, very little attention has been paid to this era by LEGO, with efforts instead put towards creating sets for the Disney+ shows and Prequels. However, the 10th anniversary of The Force Awakens may be about to change that. 

According to new leaks and rumors about the toymaker’s 2025 plans, LEGO is reportedly producing a couple of exciting new sets based on the film. Den of Geek has compiled a list from reputable LEGO leakers on Instagram and YouTube, and while the wave is only two sets strong, it’s certainly a better number than the complete lack of Sequel sets featured thus far in the 2020s.

75406: Kylo Ren’s Shuttle

Estimated release date: May 1, 2025

Estimated price: $69.99 

This ain’t LEGO’s first rodeo with Kylo Ren’s shuttle. Two separate versions were released in 2015 and 2019, respectively. The original, 75104, which coincided with the first Force Friday, is an infamous set in the LEGO Star Wars community. This is due in large part to the build’s extreme inaccuracies. The wings are unable to fold like the in-universe vehicle, and the entire design is the wrong color. This was likely because of concept art LEGO received while designing the set, and Lucasfilm later changed the appearance before The Force Awakens was released. 

The second rendition of the set, 75256: Kylo Ren’s Shuttle, fixed these issues, now sporting a universe-accurate black and red color scheme. The latest version should follow suit of the 2019 model but on a smaller scale. Set 75406: Kylo Ren’s Shuttle is reportedly a “midi-scale” ship and will be part of the Starship Collection, a line of large vehicles from the Star Wars canon recreated in a smaller (and more affordable) scale. Unfortunately for fans of minifigures, nothing of that sort will be included, but the build will likely be a nice size that’ll snugly fit into any shelf display. 

75415: Kylo Ren’s Helmet

Estimated release date: May 1, 2025

Estimated price: $69.99

LEGO introduced its Helmet Collection in 2020 and has produced at least two Star Wars helmet sets yearly (besides a weird blip in 2024). While the AT-AT Driver helmet has already been revealed for a March release date and Jango Fett’s helmet is also rumored to be coming in May, LEGO is reportedly dipping their toes into the Sequel Trilogy for the first time as part of this subtheme. Kylo Ren’s iconic helmet is the perfect choice for this, as even the most prominent critics of the heavily maligned trilogy can agree this helmet is undeniably cool. The LEGO Star Wars designers do not have an envious task ahead of them because the unique shaping of Kylo Ren’s helmet is a very un-LEGO-like sculpt, but if they are able to knock it out of the park, this could become one of LEGO’s best helmet sets to date.

Daredevil Born Again Star Addresses the Problems With the First Version of the Show

“[W]e’re both good soldiers and professionals, and we were trying to be open-minded.” When the star of your much-anticipated new superhero show describes that as the attitude that he and his co-star needed to bring to the project, you can probably expect the project to bomb. Yet, that’s exactly how Charlie Cox and Vincent D’Onofrio […]

The original, 75104, which coincided with the first Force Friday, is an infamous set in the LEGO Star Wars community. This is due in large part to the build’s extreme inaccuracies. The wings are unable to fold like the in-universe vehicle, and the entire design is the wrong color. This was likely because of concept art LEGO received while designing the set, and Lucasfilm later changed the appearance before The Force Awakens was released. 

The second rendition of the set, 75256: Kylo Ren’s Shuttle, fixed these issues, now sporting a universe-accurate black and red color scheme. The latest version should follow suit of the 2019 model but on a smaller scale. Set 75406: Kylo Ren’s Shuttle is reportedly a “midi-scale” ship and will be part of the Starship Collection, a line of large vehicles from the Star Wars canon recreated in a smaller (and more affordable) scale. Unfortunately for fans of minifigures, nothing of that sort will be included, but the build will likely be a nice size that’ll snugly fit into any shelf display. 

75415: Kylo Ren’s Helmet

Estimated release date: May 1, 2025

Estimated price: $69.99

LEGO introduced its Helmet Collection in 2020 and has produced at least two Star Wars helmet sets yearly (besides a weird blip in 2024). While the AT-AT Driver helmet has already been revealed for a March release date and Jango Fett’s helmet is also rumored to be coming in May, LEGO is reportedly dipping their toes into the Sequel Trilogy for the first time as part of this subtheme. Kylo Ren’s iconic helmet is the perfect choice for this, as even the most prominent critics of the heavily maligned trilogy can agree this helmet is undeniably cool. The LEGO Star Wars designers do not have an envious task ahead of them because the unique shaping of Kylo Ren’s helmet is a very un-LEGO-like sculpt, but if they are able to knock it out of the park, this could become one of LEGO’s best helmet sets to date.

The Monkey: Oz Perkins Uses a Classic Stephen King Story to Show the Funny Side of Death

Osgood Perkins is taking a big step into King country this week as he turns Stephen King‘s 30-page, 1980 short story “The Monkey” into one hell of a bloody fun ride. The film, like the original story, focuses on twin brothers named Hal and Bill (Christian Convery as children) who discover an old drumming monkey […]

Once someone becomes a part of the Saturday Night Live family, it takes a lot to get excommunicated.

The most infamous example of a creative not being invited back to NBC’s long-running comedic institution is, of course, Sinéad O’Connor. In a 1992 episode of SNL, the Irish singer, songwriter, and activist concluded a cover of Bob Marley’s “War” by tearing a photograph of then-Pope John Paul II to pieces. Though O’Connor’s stated intention of protesting the Catholic Church’s history of physical, sexual and emotional abuse of young parishioners was well reasoned, it was perhaps too ahead of its time. She would go on to be condemned by many organizations and was ultimately banned from ever returning to SNL.

}).render(“0270c398a82f44f49c23c16122516796”);
});

Following O’Connor’s death in 2023, SNL began to soften its stance towards her controversial performance. The ultimate mea culpa arrived on February 16, 2025, during the show’s sprawling, three-hour-long broadcast SNL50: The Anniversary Special, in which Miley Cyrus and Brittany Howard covered O’Connor’s classic “Nothing Compares 2 U.” While that was perhaps the biggest moment of reconciliation in SNL50, there was another, far stranger, example of a banished performer getting a shout near the end of the special.

Adrien Brody was on top of the world back in May 2003 when he hosted Saturday Night Live for the first and only time. Having just won a Best Actor Oscar for his remarkable turn in The Pianist two months prior, Brody was ready and game for anything SNL could throw his way. Unfortunately, he was too ready and too game as the committed SNL creator Lorne Michaels’ cardinal sin: he went off script.

When the time came to introduce musical guest Sean Paul – usually a simple, perfunctory task for the host – Brody elected to spice things up a bit. He took the stage in a dreadlocked wig and vamped extensively in an offensive Jamaican patois about…people named Sean? And said “respeck mah neck” a couple of times? It was at least a little bit racist, a lot of bit incomprehensible, and most damningly for the live show, completely unplanned.

In recent interviews to promote The Brutalist (for which he will likely win another Oscar), Brody has pushed back against the characterization that he was banned from SNL, telling Vulture that “I think Lorne wasn’t happy with me embellishing a bit, but they allowed me to.” Ban or no ban, Brody joined the ranks of folks like O’Connor who were pointedly never invited back to Studio 8H.

Of course, important dates like anniversaries have a way of healing old wounds. Because, while Brody didn’t receive as touching a shoutout as O’Connor did in SNL50, his inexplicable Rastaman improv did make an appearance in a hilarious compilation. Introduced by Tom Hanks, SNL50: The Anniversary Special took some time out for a special “In Memorium” segment of canceled SNL characters and moments that were no longer appropriate for the modern world.

The reasoning for many of these canceled artifacts were clear from “ethnic stereotypes” to “body shaming” to “sexual harassment.” Adrien Brody’s rasta moment, however, was accompanied by a simple “woah.” All these years later, there seems no better way to describe whatever it was that was than “woah.”

The Divisive Captain America Comic That Defined Sam Wilson as Cap

Most of 2016’s Steve Rogers: Captain America #1 plays like a standard adventure starring the Sentinel of Liberty. In between flashbacks to Steve’s childhood in 1926 New York, we see Cap and his allies on a rescue mission and eventually battle classic villain Baron Zemo. However, the final splash page, after Cap has defeated Zemo […]

Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey First Look Is More Classic Hollywood Than Homer
