If you've not seen the entirety of the show WandaVision over on Disney+ yet, I must beg you to turn back. There is a rather bonkers reveal late in the series that you'll want to experience for yourself, if you've yet to take the plunge. It involves the true identity of Wanda and The Vision's neighbor, and how she'll take to the universe now that she's been revealed to all.
This is definitely not a joke - LEGO is about to officially release the Titanic. The LEGO Titanic is "one of the longest and largest LEGO models to date", officially authentically realized with more pieces than you've likely ever placed in a single model. This monstrous build is over 1.3 meters long and is most certainly not intended for children under the age of 18.
Although they have been around for years now, podcasts are becoming big again in the age of music streaming. Rivals Spotify and Apple are already gearing up for war, and even Amazon, which has its own Amazon Music subscription service, has jumped into the fray. It's no surprise, then, to hear that YouTube may be setting its sights on the market since it also does music streaming. Unfortunately, Google is no stranger to podcasts, and the confusion that might ensue could open up old wounds over the Google Play Music fiasco.
We've known for a long time that HBO is working on a Game of Thrones prequel series called House of the Dragon, but today, we're getting our first look at it. HBO has released the first teaser trailer for House of the Dragon, showing us some brief and somewhat vague glimpses from the show. Unfortunately, this new teaser wasn't accompanied by a premiere date, so it looks like we're going to have to wait longer for that.
In the music streaming business, Spotify is still king, and Apple Music is often portrayed as its biggest rival. Of course, there are also other players in that field, including what was once separately Google Play Music and YouTube Music. The latter has now become Google's one and only contender in that arena, but it still has to make a blip in many music lovers' radars. That's because it has been lagging in some core features its rivals have long had, which is finally starting to change in one small but important way.
Mr. Corman, the drama/comedy series written and directed by Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who also stars in the show, has been canceled by Apple TV+ after its first season. The show received relatively high ratings from viewers and critics alike, but as with other highly-rated shows that had a short lifespan, the viewership numbers weren't where they needed to be.

The long-running daytime court show Judge Judy ended earlier this year after a very long run on CBS, but Judge Judy Sheindlin plans to return to television in a slightly different format. The judge's next show will be called Judy Justice, and it'll be available to stream on Amazon's free streaming service IMDb TV.
Today we're taking a slightly closer look at the latest imagery released by Lucasfilm for Star Wars: The Book of Boba Fett. We've seen just a bit of Boba Fett at the tail end of Star Wars: The Mandalorian Season 2, including the new version of his ship, repainted armor, and his infamous sawed-off blaster rifle and jet pack. Now, we get to see a bit more.
Today we're taking a peek at the TOSY Flying Duo - two flying toys from RoboFi that roll with LED lights aplenty. The TOSY Flying Disc and the TOSY Boomerang make up the TOSY Flying Duo, sold together in a package originally crowdfunded with Kickstarter. We've been playing with both of these devices for a couple of weeks, and they're surprisingly great.
Today Amazon revealed a collection of devices for smart home monitoring, security, and communication. Ring devices like the Always Home Cam (the flying security camera), Virtual Security Guard, and Ring Alarm Pro, Blink video doorbell, Echo Show 14, "Hey, Disney!" voice assistant, and Halo View. There's also a home robot called Astro.
Slowly but surely, it seems HBO's adaptation of The Last of Us is coming together. Earlier this year, HBO announced that it found its Joel and Ellie - Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey, two actors who rose to prominence in a certain HBO show called Game of Thrones - and now it looks like production has started on the show. Not only that, but we're getting our first look at Joel and Ellie, though this is only a partial reveal.
