Disaster movies get reduced to spectacle, body counts, collapsing buildings, tidal waves, panicked crowds, all the visible stuff. And yes, the visible stuff matters. A disaster movie with no scale, no momentum, no physical imagination is dead on arrival. But that is not why the great ones stay with you.
Think about it — why did 2012 become so big? World War Z? Because they had a huge real-life meaning to them. They were warm and grounded. They stayed because disaster is one of the purest story machines in cinema for exposing what people are really made of once normal life loses authority. Vanity, courage, bureaucracy, tenderness, selfishness, class, romance, cowardice, sacrifice, denial, all of it gets dragged into the open the second the world stops pretending it is stable. These 10 movies kinda had that but perhaps not enough star-power or social media hype to back them up.

‘Juggernaut’ (1974)

I will always go to bat for Juggernaut. It understands that disaster does not need flames everywhere to be suffocating. Sometimes all you need is one luxury liner, a bomb threat, the sea, and enough procedural detail to make every passing minute feel like a tightening wire. That is what this movie gets exactly right. The danger is not abstract. It has shape. Explosives on a ship full of people. A bomb disposal expert coming aboard. Time, water, class performance, panic, all boxed together. It becomes one of those films where every corridor starts looking like a moral test.
And what really gives it force is the grown-up seriousness of the ensemble. Nobody is playing the material like camp. Anthony Fallon (Richard Harris), Captain Alex Brunel (Omar Sharif), and Charlie Braddock (David Hemmings) all give the movie this weary, competent, deeply British tension that makes the whole thing feel more frightening. The rich passengers, the workers, the crew, the politicians on land, all are part of the same system now, and that system is balanced on the possibility of one wrong wire. Juggernaut is a disaster film for people who love process as suspense. It is calm, intelligent, and nasty in exactly the right way.

‘The Rains Came’ (1939)

There is something magnificent about how openly emotional The Rains Came is. It belongs to that older kind of disaster cinema where romance, melodrama, social upheaval, disease, weather, and death are all allowed to crowd the same frame without apologizing to one another. The setting matters too. Colonial India in crisis gives the whole movie a richer moral texture than “storm hits town” would have on its own. The rains are not just weather. They are the beginning of a vast stripping-away. Vanity collapses. Social hierarchies wobble. People reveal what they really are when the floodwaters rise and sickness follows.
The film lets catastrophe transform the emotional meaning of everything around it. Characters who seemed trapped inside drawing-room identities suddenly have to exist inside urgency, service, fear, and loss. There is old-Hollywood grandeur all over it, yes, but the movie earns its bigness. It knows a disaster can be both spectacular and spiritually corrective. That is why it feels potent.

‘San Francisco’ (1936)
Image via Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer
This one is such an old film but a beautiful reminder that the classic-Hollywood disaster movie did not think intimacy and scale were enemies. San Francisco spends so much of its time building a whole social world, saloons, opera aspirations, rough men, refined spaces, love, ambition, money, spiritual conflict, that by the time the earthquake arrives, the city actually feels inhabited. That matters enormously. So many disaster films fail because they think the event is enough.
San Francisco understands the event only becomes overwhelming once you have built something for it to break. And once the earthquake comes, it really comes. The destruction still has force, and the chaos afterward has that old apocalyptic-Hollywood terror where civilization looks frighteningly fragile. But what makes the film great instead of merely historically impressive is the emotional aftershock. Lives are not just interrupted. They are reweighted. The city’s collapse becomes a test of what remains when glamour, vice, social position, and personal illusions all get flattened together in the same rubble. There is something deeply moving about the way San Francisco treats communal suffering as both horror and reckoning.

‘The China Syndrome’ (1979)
Michael Douglas as Richard Adams, Jane Fonda as Kimberly Wells, and Daniel Valdez as Hector SalasImage via Columbia Pictures
I absolutely count The China Syndrome as a disaster movie, and one of the great ones, because it understands that disaster can exist in the gap between near-miss and inevitability. There is no giant wave. No building falling in the first half-hour. What you get instead is one of the most terrifying kinds of modern catastrophe: the kind built out of sealed systems, institutional denial, technological complexity, and the possibility that ordinary professional language is being used to keep the public calm while annihilation inches closer. That is nightmare material.
And because the movie is so grounded, it only gets more frightening with time. Kimberly Wells (Jane Fonda), Jack Godell (Jack Lemmon), and Richard Adams (Michael Douglas) give it exactly the right emotional range, ambition, conscience, media pressure, professional fear, whistleblower panic. The reactor itself becomes this invisible beast in the room, something most people cannot understand directly and therefore must trust others to manage. That trust is what the film attacks. A great disaster movie often asks whether human error, vanity, or bureaucracy will speed the catastrophe along. The China Syndrome asks that with a chill few films can match. It makes institutional calm feel sinister.

‘The Wave’ (2015)

What I respect about The Wave is how cleanly it merges two kinds of disaster-film pleasure that do not always coexist well: geological spectacle and family-level panic. The opening sections are almost deceptively ordinary. Scientists monitoring instability. family routines. local skepticism. That ordinariness is not filler. It is structural groundwork. When the mountain finally gives way and the fjord becomes a death corridor, the movie cashes in all that realism at once. Suddenly every siren, every road, every minute matters.
And the wave itself is terrifying because the film understands scale from the victim’s point of view. It is not just a pretty wall of CGI water. It is time running out in a place where the geography has become a trap. I also love how physical the aftermath feels, the flooding, the darkness, the cold, the search, the suffocation. Disaster movies often peak at the event and sag afterward. The Wave keeps its grip because it knows survival is not one beat. It is a series of awful, breath-limited decisions after the obvious climax has already happened. That makes it hit harder.

‘The Quake’ (2018)
Image via Nordisk Filmdistribusjon
The Quake is such a nasty companion piece to The Wave because it takes the emotional residue of the earlier film and drags it into another rupture instead of pretending trauma resets cleanly between sequels. That is one of the smartest choices it makes. The earthquake is not just an excuse to do the next round of destruction. It arrives in a life already marked by fear, obsession, and the humiliating possibility that everyone around you may think you are broken before they think you are right. That gives the first half real tension.
And when the quake finally hits, the film goes hard. Buildings split, interiors become death mazes, people are cut off in spaces that used to mean stability and now mean vertical ruin. The physical set pieces are excellent, but what I love most is the emotional tone underneath them. There is also a sadness to The Quake that a lot of disaster sequels never even attempt. The event is spectacular, yes, though the real story is about Kristian Eikjord (Kristoffer Joner) trying to protect his family while being crushed by the knowledge that he saw the shape of this terror coming and still could not make the world move fast enough. That kind of helplessness belongs to great disaster cinema.

‘Miracle Mile’ (1988)
Image via Hemdale Film Corporation
Miracle Mile is one of the most upsetting urban-apocalypse films ever made because it weaponizes ordinary time so cruelly. The setup is almost absurdly simple and perfect: Harry Washello (Anthony Edwards) answers a pay phone in the middle of the night and hears what may be a call meant for someone else, a warning that nuclear war is imminent. From there the whole movie becomes a race against disbelief. Is the call real? Is this panic justified? How fast can ordinary Los Angeles go from dreamy nocturnal drift to terminal unraveling? The answer is: horrifyingly fast.
What makes Miracle Mile so good is that it starts like a quirky romantic night movie. There is warmth in it, coincidence, possibility, strangers crossing paths, the kind of atmosphere where a date might genuinely change your life. Then the call comes, and suddenly every mundane part of city life becomes unstable. Cars. helicopters. traffic. police. crowds. misinformation. private selfishness. public terror. The film keeps tightening until it reaches a final movement so bleak and so perfect that it almost feels like a dare. This is not disaster as spectacle. It is disaster as emotional whiplash, the world ending in the middle of what should have been a love story.

‘These Final Hours’ (2013)
Nathan Phillips as James and Angourie Rice as Rose at a party in These Final HoursImage via Roadshow Films
This movie is brutal because it asks one of the ugliest questions any disaster film can ask: if the world is actually ending, what kind of person are you in the hours before meaning disappears? Not in the noble, speech-making way. In the real way. Do you turn toward pleasure? violence? numbness? rescue? obligation? panic? sex? family? self-erasure?These Final Hours is so good in that sense. It knows apocalypse is not only about fire in the sky. It is about moral collapse on the ground long before the blast reaches you just as you rother disaster favorites.
And the film’s emotional hook is viciously effective. James (Nathan Phillips) begins as a man trying to flee into selfish oblivion, then gets dragged toward responsibility through his connection with a child who should not have to navigate any of this. That relationship keeps the movie from becoming mere misery porn. It becomes a measure of whether any human decency can still exist when the clock is too short for future-oriented ethics. The answer is painful and partial and all the more moving because the movie does not sentimentalize it. This is one of the few end-of-the-world films that really feels like the end of the world.

‘Fail Safe’ (1964)
Henry Fonda as The President in FailsafeImage via Columbia Pictures
This is one of the most terrifying disaster films ever made precisely because almost nothing in it looks like disaster in the traditional sense. Rooms. phones. protocols. radar. voices. men in suits speaking with varying degrees of control while the world moves toward annihilation through systems that were supposed to prevent exactly this. That is the horror. The catastrophe is procedural. Human beings built structures to control apocalypse and then placed themselves one malfunction away from having to live inside its consequences.Fail Safe never blinks from that.
And what makes it so devastating is its moral seriousness. The performances are stripped of glamour in exactly the right way. The President (Henry Fonda), Professor Groeteschele (Walter Matthau), Colonel Cascio (Fritz Weaver), and Buck (Larry Hagman) all serve a movie that knows the most frightening thing about nuclear disaster is not only the explosion. It is the calm beforehand. The discussion. The recognition that logic, patriotism, decency, military doctrine, and human tenderness are all about to collide and at least one of them will not survive intact.

‘A Night to Remember’ (1958)

A Night to Remember is beautiful. It is one of the purest examples of disaster cinema understanding that the real scale of catastrophe is human behavior under collapse. Titanic has been retold so many times and so extravagantly that people can forget how shattering A Night to Remember still is. It does not need modern spectacle to devastate you. It has precision, sobriety, and a horrifyingly calm sense of process. You feel the ship’s size, yes, but even more you feel the terrible sequence by which denial becomes recognition, recognition becomes logistics, and logistics become mass death.
What makes it so great is its refusal to reduce the sinking to one sentimental corridor. Officers, crew, passengers, class divisions, stoic mistakes, cowardice, discipline, noise, silence, freezing water, all of it is allowed to coexist. The film understands disaster as systems failure and as human revelation. Some people become admirable. Some become pathetic. Most become frighteningly ordinary under extraordinary pressure, which is exactly right. And because the film never overplays its hand, every lifeboat, every delay, every missed chance lands harder. It is one of the greatest disaster movies ever made, period.

The Academy Has Decided Your Perfect Film Is…
Your answers have pointed to one Oscar Best Picture winner above all others. This is the film that was made for the way your mind works.

Parasite
You are drawn to films that operate on multiple levels simultaneously — that begin in one genre and quietly, brilliantly migrate into another. Bong Joon-ho’s Parasite is a film about class, desire, and the architecture of inequality that manages to be darkly funny, deeply suspenseful, and genuinely shocking across a single extraordinary running time. Your instinct is for cinema that hides its true intentions until the moment it’s ready to reveal them. Parasite is exactly that — a film that rewards close attention and punishes assumptions, right up to its devastating final image.

Everything Everywhere All at Once
You want it all — and this film gives you all of it. The Daniels’ Everything Everywhere All at Once is one of the most maximalist films ever made: action comedy, multiverse sci-fi, family drama, existential crisis, and a genuinely earned emotional core that sneaks up on you amid the chaos. You are someone who responds to ambition, who doesn’t want cinema to choose between being entertaining and being meaningful. This film refuses that choice entirely. It is overwhelming by design, and its overwhelming nature is precisely the point — because the feeling of being crushed by infinite possibility is exactly what it’s about.
Advertisement
Oppenheimer
You are drawn to cinema on a grand scale — films that understand history not as a backdrop but as a force, and that place their characters inside that force and watch what happens. Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer is a film about the terrifying gap between what we can do and what we should do, told with the full weight of one of the most consequential moments in human history behind it. You want your films to feel important without feeling self-important — to earn their ambition through sheer craft and the gravity of their subject. Oppenheimer does exactly that. It is enormous, complicated, and refuses easy comfort.
Advertisement
Birdman
You are drawn to films that foreground their own construction — that make the how of the filmmaking part of the what it’s about. Alejandro González Iñárritu’s Birdman, shot to appear as a single continuous take, is cinema examining itself through the cracked mirror of a fading actor’s ego. You respond to formal daring, to the feeling that a film is doing something that probably shouldn’t be possible. Michael Keaton’s performance and Emmanuel Lubezki’s restless camera create something genuinely unlike anything else — a film that is simultaneously about creativity, relevance, self-destruction, and the impossibility of ever truly knowing if your work means anything at all.
Advertisement
No Country for Old Men
You are drawn to cinema that trusts silence, that refuses to explain itself, and that treats dread as a form of meaning. The Coen Brothers’ No Country for Old Men is a film about the arrival of a new kind of evil — implacable, arbitrary, and utterly indifferent to the moral frameworks we use to make sense of the world. It is one of the most formally controlled films ever made, and its controlled restraint is what makes it so terrifying. You want your films to haunt you, not comfort you. You are not interested in resolution if resolution would be dishonest. No Country for Old Men is honest in a way that most cinema never dares to be.
Gaming fans are on top of the world right now thanks to the recent release of 007 First Light. The new James Bond game stars Patrick Gibson as the iconic spy, and after selling three million copies during its first week, a sequel to the game is all but guaranteed — the closing title card promised that “James Bond will return.” 007 First Light wasn’t the first big AAA game of the year, though; that title belongs to Crimson Desert, the open-world RPG developed by Pearl Abyss. Looking forward, fans have a lot to be excited about this summer, including a pair of big games launching next month. Set to be released on July 9 is the highly anticipated remake of Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag, which is launching on the same day as the next College Football game from EA Sports.
The one game towering over every other release this year, no matter how long the gap is between its release and others, is Grand Theft Auto 6. After multiple delays, Grand Theft Auto 6 is finally set to be released later this year on November 19, barring another shock delay that would push the game to 2027. GTA 6 was originally going to be released in 2025 before being delayed to May of this year and then finally settling on November to launch around the world. The third trailer for GTA 6 is expected to be released any day now — many felt we’re sure it was coming at the recent State of Play event that revealed the new Wolverine and God of War games. The premiere of the next trailer is also likely to confirm pre-order information, along with revealing the game’s official price.

Your Partner Has Been Assigned Your Perfect Partner Is…
Your answers have pointed to one action hero above all others. This is the person built to have your back — for better or considerably, spectacularly worse.
Rambo
Advertisement
Your partner doesn’t talk much, doesn’t need to, and will have assessed every threat in your immediate environment before you’ve finished your first sentence. John Rambo is not a man of plans or politics — he is a force of nature shaped by survival, loyalty, and a capacity for endurance that goes beyond anything training can produce. He will not leave you behind. He has never left anyone behind who deserved to come home. What you get with Rambo is the most capable, most quietly ferocious partner imaginable — one who has been through things that would have broken anyone else, and who chose to keep going anyway. You’ll never need to ask if he has your back. You’ll just know.
James Bond
Your partner will arrive perfectly dressed, perfectly briefed, and with a cover story so convincing it’ll take you a moment to remember what’s actually true. James Bond is the most professionally dangerous person in any room he enters — and the most disarmingly charming, which is the point. He operates in a world of layers, where nothing is what it appears and every advantage is used without apology. You’ll never be bored. You’ll occasionally be furious. But when it matters — when the mission is genuinely on the line and the margin for error has collapsed to nothing — Bond is exactly the partner you want. He has survived things that have no business being survivable. He does it with style. That is not nothing.
Advertisement
Indiana Jones
Your partner will know the history, the language, the cultural context, and exactly why the thing everyone else is ignoring is actually the most important thing in the room. Indiana Jones is brilliant, reckless, and occasionally impossible — but he is also one of the most resourceful, most genuinely knowledgeable partners you could find yourself beside. He approaches every situation with a scholar’s eye and a brawler’s instinct, which is an unusual combination and a remarkably effective one. He hates snakes and gets personally attached to objects of historical significance, both of which will slow you down at least once. It doesn’t matter. What Indy brings is irreplaceable — and the adventures you’ll have together will be the kind people write books about. Assuming you survive them.
Advertisement
John McClane
Your partner was not supposed to be here. He does not have the right equipment, the right information, or anything approaching the right odds. He has a sarcastic remark and an absolute refusal to accept that the situation is as bad as it looks. John McClane is the greatest accidental hero in the history of action cinema — a man whose superpower is stubbornness, whose contingency plan is improvisation, and whose capacity to absorb punishment and keep moving would be alarming if it weren’t so useful. He will complain the entire time. He will make it significantly more chaotic than it needed to be. And he will absolutely, unconditionally, without question come through when it counts. Yippee-ki-yay.
Ethan Hunt
Advertisement
Your partner has already run seventeen scenarios by the time you’ve finished reading the briefing, and the plan he’s settled on involves at least two things that should be physically impossible. Ethan Hunt operates at the absolute edge of human capability — technically, physically, and intellectually — and he brings the same relentless precision to protecting his partners that he brings to dismantling organisations that shouldn’t exist. He is not easy to know and he will never fully tell you everything. But he will carry the weight of the mission so completely, so absolutely, that your job is simply to trust him — and the remarkable thing is that trusting him always turns out to be the right call. The mission will be impossible. He will complete it anyway.

How Much Is ‘GTA 6’ Going to Cost?
At the time of writing, Rockstar Games has not announced an official price point for Grand Theft Auto 6. Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick recently confirmed that marketing for the game will officially begin this summer, which means that the game’s price will surely be released soon. Most fans and experts agree that the price of the base game will likely be $70, but the deluxe editions will surely be closer to $100, if not more. However, the continued delay in announcement is cause for concern that the game could be more than normal. If GTA 6 launches with a base price of higher than $70, it will be the first game in history to bump the price, which will set a dangerous precedent moving forward for other games to do the same.
Stay tuned to Collider for more updates and coverage of GTA 6, which releases on consoles and PC on November 18.
“Stranger Things” star David Harbour and singer Lily Allen were first rumored to have separated in December 2024. The reports were then confirmed in February, and she released her fifth album, “West End Girl,” in October, reportedly about their breakup. Now, months later, Harbour is breaking his silence and also discussing his mental health.
SIB / KCS / MEGA
Harbour interviewed with Variety in June 2026. During the chat, the topic of his breakup with Allen came up, as did “West End Girl.”
Notably, on the album, one song depicts a partner who is jealous of her success and keeps a separate apartment to have sex with other people. Because of their relationship, many assumed the description to be about the “Stranger Things” alum.
Harbour offered his reaction, saying, “It was weird.” He continued, “I do believe that it is the privilege of every artist to use their experience to create art, and so I respect her for doing that.”
After that, he stated, “I can’t really say that much more because it’s my private life. In spite of the fact that a lot of people don’t allow me a private life — I value it. And I also value the lives of the people that I interact with privately. I just won’t speak about that.”

When told he had the license to debunk any of the claims made on “West End Girl,” Harbour tempered his comments. According to him, “Stories are complex, and that’s why I say I respect her creation of art to channel her experience. It wasn’t my experience.”
It’s also important to note that Allen has stated that she used her “artistic license” for the album and that not all the stories are real experiences.
David Says He Had A Break Down
LRNYC / MEGA
Harbour has been open about his struggles with mental health. This includes vulnerably discussing being diagnosed with bipolar disorder in his 20s. In his Variety interview, the reporter noted that his public image suffered in December after he was accused of erratic behavior in public.
In reflecting on this time in his life, Harbour revealed, “I had a breakdown.” He went on, “I do suffer from some confusing stuff — it’s confusing as hell. I think a lot of people have a friend or a brother or a co-worker that deals with mental health stuff, and they’re probably pretty confused when that person gets depressed or gets manic or has an episode.”
He then discussed the oftentimes harsh ways the public reacts to people with mental health conditions. According to him, “There’s a lot of irresponsible nonsense going on out there.” After that, as an example, he mentioned John Davidson, who shouted a racial slur at the BAFTA Awards.

The actor stated, “That poor guy with Tourette’s and that unfortunate situation — we’re either going to acknowledge that mental illness is a thing or we’re not. We can stone everyone to death if you want!”
LRNYC / MEGA
Following the Variety interview, social media is reacting to Harbour’s comments both about Allen’s “West End Girl” and his mental health struggles. Overall, most respect his decision to mostly remain silent about his breakup with the singer.
One person wrote, “It’s probably best for both David and Lily that they just not speak about one another. Why do some famous people feel the need to bash their exes and keep the drama going?”
Someone else wrote, “What happened between them is no one’s business.” Regarding his mental health, one social media user said, “Good on him for being open and honest and what he went through.”
However, a different social media user pointed out the disparity between how people in Hollywood with mental health conditions are treated and the difficulties non-famous people face.

They wrote, “Props to Harbour for owning this, but let’s be real, Hollywood romanticizes ‘gifts linked to illness’ while the rest of us lose jobs and relationships over the same chaos. Therapy’s great, but where’s the accountability line?”
The Actor Previosuly Opened Up About Being Diagnosed With Bipolar Disorder
Fred Duval/MEGA
Harbour appeared on the WTF Podcast in 2018. During the interview, he detailed what led to his bipolar disorder diagnosis, revealing that it came after a manic episode. He shared, “I was sober for like a year and a half, and I was 25, and I actually did have a manic episode, and I was diagnosed as bipolar.”
The “DTF: St Louis” star continued, “I really had, like, a bit of a break where I thought I was in connection to some sort of god that I wasn’t really in connection to… It was like I had all the answers, suddenly.”
He continued the story, recalling, “Yeah, so I actually was, by my parents, taken into a mental asylum for a little bit.” Harbour then began taking medication, noting, “I’ve been medicated bipolar for a long time, and I’ve had problems going on and off. I’ve had a struggle, going on and off the medications.”
David Is Set For A New Movie

Currently, Harbour has several projects in various stages of production. Recently, in June 2026, Deadline reported that he’s been tapped to star alongside Gabby Hoffman in a new dark comedy, “Little One.” Per IMDb, the production is underway.
He is also set to appear in such films as “Avengers: Doomsday” and “Violent Night 2.”
Rich Paul has provided a close look into his private relationship with Grammy-winning superstar Adele.
During a brand-new podcast interview, the entertainment industry executive detailed how their connection naturally blossomed behind closed doors.
The couple, who first sparked romance rumors at an NBA game in 2021, later confirmed their engagement in August 2024.

Paul revealed he met fiancée Adele “through a friend” in rare new remarks about his romance with the = songstress.
The 45-year-old sports agent said on Tuesday’s episode of Craig Melvin’s “Glass Half Full” podcast that he had known her for some time, having crossed paths in the same professional environments.
He explained that when you are in these circles, you are simply in these circles, but emphasized that he never tried to get too familiar with anyone. Instead, he noted that his relationship with Adele happened naturally.
“It was really something that happened very organically, really,” he stated.

Paul admitted that while he had always heard Adele’s radio tracks, he was not deeply familiar with her entire discography before getting to know her.
However, as they continued to bump into each other, their relationship maintained a comfortable, friendly dynamic.
He looked back at how they used to always hang out, laughing and joking, describing the connection as platonic, “until it became not so cordial.”
A Close Look At The Couple’s Romantic History

The organic spark between Adele and Paul paved the way for a highly publicized courtship that has since been closely tracked by fans. Following their initial introduction, the “Easy on Me” singer and her partner officially took their romance public in the summer of 2021.
Since that time, the high-profile duo has made numerous joint appearances at basketball games, and the vocal powerhouse has openly discussed her relationship in several media interviews, as confirmed by People Magazine.

By September 2023, marriage rumors had begun to circulate after she referred to Paul as her husband while speaking to a fan during her Las Vegas residency.
She later hinted at an official engagement when she told a concertgoer that she was already getting married, and was later spotted wearing a massive diamond ring in July 2024.
During her final residency show, she held back tears as she thanked Paul for always supporting her and building her up when she felt “emotionally drained.”

According to The Blast, close sources say that the singer has never been happier now that she is maintaining her peace intact.

MEGA
While her recent decision to fully retreat from public life keeps her at ease, the superstar is simultaneously plotting a major creative comeback in an entirely new industry.
Adele is officially preparing to make her highly anticipated debut as a motion picture actor in an upcoming Hollywood production.
The British native is part of a star-studded cast set to feature in a brand-new adaptation of the Anne Rice novel, “Cry to Heaven.” Acclaimed visionary Tom Ford wrote the screenplay and will also serve as the director and producer for the historical drama through his production company.
While there is no official release date locked in just yet, the upcoming film is reported to hit theaters late fall 2026, per The Blast.
Tyler Maneis turning a frightening health diagnosis into a mission to raise awareness. The actor, best known for portraying Sabretooth in “X-Men” and Michael Myers in Rob Zombie’s “Halloween” films, recently revealed he has been diagnosed with a rare form of breast cancer.
After initially considering keeping the diagnosis private, Mane decided to share his journey publicly, explaining that the disease is often overlooked in men and that early detection could save lives.
Tyler Mane shocked followers on Tuesday when he posted a video on Instagram announcing that he had been diagnosed with breast cancer and was preparing to begin treatment.
The 59-year-old explained that while the disease is commonly associated with women, men can also be affected.
“I have some bad news. I start chemo today,” Mane said in the clip. He went on to reveal, “One in 750 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime, and I’m one of them.”

The actor used the moment not only to share his diagnosis but also to highlight how little awareness exists around male breast cancer.
Mane explained that because the condition is rarely discussed, it is often discovered at later stages, leading to poorer outcomes for patients.
“Because it’s rarely talked about, it’s usually found at later stages and has worse outcomes. I want to change that,” he said.
Determined to stay positive, Mane encouraged followers to join him through the process, adding, “Come along for my journey to kick this thing in the *ss.”

Mane Says Doctors Initially Dismissed His Concerns

While discussing his diagnosis, Tyler Mane revealed that he almost kept the news private because he felt embarrassed by it.
In the caption accompanying his announcement, he admitted, “I’ll be honest, my first reaction was to keep it secret. I mean it’s kind of embarrassing.”
However, learning more about how often male breast cancer goes undetected changed his perspective. Mane also shared that his diagnosis may have been delayed if not for the persistence of his wife, Renae Geerlings.
According to the star, doctors repeatedly dismissed his concerns about a lump. “In fact, my doctors all dismissed it and it was only because my wife pushed me to get the lump removed that I got in early,” he revealed.
That experience ultimately motivated him to speak publicly and encourage others to take symptoms seriously.

He urged followers to help spread awareness, stressing that early detection can make a major difference in treatment outcomes.
Tyler Mane Begins Chemotherapy And Shares Early Health Update
At the end of his initial announcement video, Mane included a brief clip from the hospital as he began chemotherapy treatment.
Despite the difficult circumstances, he maintained a fighting spirit, declaring, “F**k cancer!”
The Hollywood star later returned to Instagram with another update following his second chemotherapy treatment.
In a video shared on June 9, he thanked supporters for the overwhelming response to his announcement and reiterated his determination to beat the disease.

“Day 2 chemo update!” he wrote in the caption. Mane continued, “First of all. Thank you so much for all the love everyone. I greatly appreciate it. I got this. I’m gonna kick cancer‘s -ss. Thank you for coming along for the journey.”
Mane also returned to the message that inspired him to go public in the first place, emphasizing the importance of awareness and early detection.
He wrote, “We need to spread the awareness. Cancer sucks but if you catch it quick enough, you can win this battle.”
Mane Receives An Outpouring Of Support From Fans
Following his announcement, Tyler Mane was flooded with supportive messages from fans who rallied behind him and offered encouragement in his recovery.
Many supporters referenced the tough characters he has portrayed throughout his career, joking that cancer had picked the wrong opponent. One fan wrote, “You got this Tyler!!! Remember you’re Michael Meyers and Michael always comes back!”

Another added, “You’re gonna beat cancer like you beat machete in the Halloween movie. I’m rootin for ya.”
Fans also pointed to his role as Sabretooth in “X-Men,” with one supporter writing, “You’ve got this! Can’t keep Sabertooth down!”
Others combined both iconic roles into their messages of support. “God be with you. Also you will dominate this thing. You played both Sabertooth and Michael Myers. Both have amazing healing factors. Cancer isn’t taking you down,” one comment read.
Additional followers echoed similar sentiments, telling the actor, “If you can beat Wolverine, you can beat cancer .. you got this buddy,” and “If anyone can kick cancer’s a**, it’s you!”

Tyler Mane Built A Career Through Wrestling, Superheroes, And Horror
Long before his cancer diagnosis, Mane built a unique career spanning both professional wrestling and Hollywood.
The Canadian performer wrestled under the name Big Sky in World Championship Wrestling during the late 1980s and early 1990s before transitioning into acting.
His breakthrough role came when he portrayed Sabretooth opposite Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine in “X-Men.”
More than two decades later, he returned to the character in 2024’s “Deadpool & Wolverine,” reconnecting with a role that helped define his career.
Beyond the superhero world, Mane became a horror icon when he played Michael Myers in Rob Zombie’s 2007 remake of “Halloween” and its 2009 sequel. Standing 6-foot-8, he remains the tallest actor ever to portray the legendary slasher villain.

The actor also appeared in films including “Joe Dirt” and “The Scorpion King,” building a diverse résumé that earned him loyal fans across multiple genres.
If you’ve ever wondered where the “disaster film” genre really took flight, look no further than Airport. Streaming now on Netflix, this ’70s classic offers a blend of over-the-top drama, impressive-for-its-time special effects, and a cast more packed than your last overbooked flight. Get ready to buckle up and enjoy some in-flight entertainment that doesn’t involve tiny screens or questionable headphones!
A Multi-Layered Disaster FlickWith A Stacked Cast
Airport gives us a 24-hour peek into the chaotic world of a fictional Chicago airport (which, let’s be honest, sometimes doesn’t feel all that fictional when you’re waiting at an actual airport). Directed by George Seaton, the film is based on Arthur Hailey’s 1968 novel of the same name.
The story revolves around Mel Bakersfeld (played by Burt Lancaster), the weary, duty-driven airport manager. On one snowy night, he’s juggling runway closures, irate passengers, a wife who’s had it with his job, and oh, did I mention a bomb on an airborne plane? Yep, Mel’s got his hands full.
Our lead man Lancaster is ably supported by Dean Martin, who slips into the shoes of playboy pilot, Vernon Demerest. Vernon’s got his own share of problems, mainly an unplanned pregnancy with a flight attendant (the iconic Jacqueline Bisset).
However, the real tension in Airport boils down to a distraught bomber on board the flight. He’s schemed up a plan to blow up the plane, hoping his wife will get the insurance money (talk about going to extremes, right?). Enter Joe Patroni (George Kennedy), a sassy and tough chief mechanic, tasked with getting a stuck plane off the snowy runway and playing an unexpected hero in the climax.

As for our supporting cast, it’s an ensemble to write home about. We’ve got Jean Seberg as Tanya Livingston, Mel’s sidekick and chief customer relations agent. There’s also the Oscar-nominated Helen Hayes playing the cunning little old stowaway, Ada Quonsett. She’s an absolute scene-stealer, weaving in and out of the story, scoring free flights with her wits.
Through gripping narratives, the film, in a rather dramatic manner, showcases the underbelly of 1970s air travel. From technical dilemmas, personal dramas, to the palpable tension of an impending disaster, the movie paints a turbulent (pun intended!) picture of the aviation world. All in all, Airport is a joyride filled with drama, suspense, romance, and a bit of old-school airport glamour. They sure don’t make ’em like this anymore!
Airport Cleaned Up At The Box Office
The ’70s began with a bang for Universal Pictures, as Airport soared high on the box office charts. The movie grossed a whopping $128 million, making it one of the top grossers of 1970. That’s a lot of tickets and probably a ton of popcorn. Considering the film had a budget of around $10 million, Universal must’ve been throwing some pretty swanky office parties that year.
“Brace for impact!”—is probably what the producers thought when the reviews started pouring in, because, let’s face it, critics can be a tricky bunch. The film garnered mixed reviews, but even the harshest critics couldn’t deny its entertainment value.
While some found it a touch melodramatic (it is a disaster flick, after all), others appreciated the film’s meticulous production design and multi-layered narrative. The highlight? Helen Hayes snagged an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her role as the sprightly stowaway, Ada Quonsett. I mean, come on, a cheeky old lady outsmarting airport security? Who wouldn’t give her an award?
Airport also earned nine other Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture. It may not have been the darling of every critic, but the Academy sure showed it some love. The film’s success also spawned a slew of sequels and arguably gave birth to the “disaster film” genre of the ’70s. So, while Airport had its fair share of turbulence with critics, its legacy is undeniably grounded in cinema history.
Alright, let’s land this plane! Airport might be packed with dramatic moments, campy scenes, and iconic performances, but it’s these exact qualities that make it a must-watch. Whether you’re in for the nostalgia trip or just curious about the roots of the disaster genre, hopping aboard this cinematic flight on Netflix is a journey worth taking. Airport is streaming now.
Soulja Boy is heating up the timeline following Kai Cenat’sStreamer University 2 announcement. As applications are officially open, Soulja has made it clear that he wants a spot in the class. As he awaits a response, the rapper has been going off online, reigniting his beef with another fellow rapper and streamer. Now, the silence seemingly has Soulja considering a different route. The rapper is teasing the idea of creating his own content university.
Soulja Boy Threatens To Beef With Kai Cenat If He Doesn’t Get Into ‘Streamer University 2’
On Tuesday, Soulja Boy took to X after Kai Cenat revealed that applications for Streamer University 2 were officially open. The rapper tweeted, “If you don’t let me in Streamer University @KaiCenat we beefin. I let u slide the first time.” However, Soulja didn’t stop there. He later hopped on a livestream with more words for Kai and even brought DDG into the conversation. During the stream, Soulja said:
“If I don’t make it into Streamer University this year, I’m on yo a** for the whole year, Kai Cenat. Imma feel like you linking up with my opps. Imma feel like you don’t like me n****, and if you don’t like me, I don’t like your b**** a** either. So what you wanna do?”
As he continued to sound off, Soulja warned Kai that linking up with DDG again could become an issue. DDG attended Streamer University last year, where he served as a professor and even took home the MVP title. DDG and Soulja Boy have also had some public beefs on net. Soulja went on to call DDG his “enemy,” repeatedly referring to the fellow streamer as “Doo Doo Garbage.” He also claimed Kai previously reached out to him through a DM, but suggested he would not let the situation slide if he doesn’t receive an acceptance into this year’s class.
Soulja Unveils ‘Rappers University’ After Calling Out Kai Cenat
While Kai Cenat and DDG haven’t responded to Soulja Boy’s latest comments, the rapper appears to have changed course and come up with a plan of his own. After spending the day applying pressure online over Streamer University 2, Soulja revealed that he is now launching what he calls ‘Rapper University.’

In a post shared to social media, he wrote, “Never mind we doing Rapper University hit my DM if u wanna come it’s about to be a movie. Comment Rapper University if u wanna be apart of history!”
This isn’t the first time Kai Cenat has run into a similar situation. Last year, rumors circulated that Natalie Nunn was planning her own version of Streamer University through her ‘Baddies University’ concept. At the time, Kai revealed that he had taken legal steps to trademark the name ‘Streamer University.’ He also shared that his team was working to protect similar concepts.
Social Media Reacts
Folks quickly gathered under The Shade Room Teens to react to Soulja Boy’s latest post. Some were laughing and said they really wanted to see Soulja Boy at Streamer University. Others didn’t agree with how he went about calling out Kai Cenat online. Many felt he should focus on creating his own idea instead.

It’s time to brush up on your sleuthing and detective skills, because the greatest black comedy of all time, Clue, is available to stream for free on YouTube. The classic film from 1985 is based on the board game of the same name, an entertaining whodunit that will keep you guessing until the very end, when three alternate endings reveal who the killers are.
The Ultimate Mystery Comedy
In Clue, six guests with dark secrets are invited to a New England mansion for a mysterious purpose. They are welcomed by Wadsworth, the butler, and Yvette, the maid, who give each guest a pseudonym to try and conceal their identities: Colonel Mustard, Mrs. White, Mrs. Peacock, Mr. Green, Professor Plum, and Miss Scarlet. Mr. Boddy, a man who has been blackmailing each of the other guests, arrives at the house as the seventh guest.
The evening really kicks off when Mr. Boddy is found dead, and no one knows who did it. Each guest, armed with a specific weapon (rope, dagger, wrench, pistol, candlestick, and lead pipe), must try and survive. The bodies and lies begin piling up, leading the guests and viewer to try and figure out who the killer is before it’s too late.
A Bona Fide Cult Classic
When Clue first hit theaters back in 1985 it was not very successful, failing to even earn back the $15 million spent on its production. The film offers three alternate endings, and audiences across the country would see different outcomes and killers. While the concept is interesting and unique, it must have made it hard for friends to chat about the movie and compare notes, which is part of the fun of seeing a movie in theaters.
Years later, Clue has become a cult classic that fans can’t get enough of. While some people can’t stand the wacky performances from the eccentric characters, others absolutely love it. Part of what makes the film so great is its ensemble cast that includes Eileen Brennan, Tim Curry, Madeline Kahn, Christopher Lloyd, Michael McKean, and Colleen Camp.
Tim Curry plays Wadsworth, the outlandish butler who is responsible for inviting all the guests to the mansion, and he has a personal vendetta against Mr. Boddy. Eileen Brennan puts on a hilarious and entertaining performance as Mrs. Peacock, the chatty wife of a senator who is accused of bribery. Madeline Kahn portrays Mrs. White (a widow to five different men) who gives a famous “flames” speech that she improvised on set.
The script for Clue was co-written by John Landis and Jonathan Lynn, with the latter going on to direct the movie. Originally, John Landis wrote a fourth alternate ending, but felt that it was not good and that three alternate endings would suffice.

Clue’s Lasting Legacy And Impact
To achieve the 1950s aesthetic of the film, the production used authentic furnishings from the 18th and 19th century and even used the estate of the late President Theodore Roosevelt. Nearly all of the filming took place at Paramount Pictures in Hollywood, except for the ballroom scene and shots of the driveway gate which were filmed at a mansion in South Pasadena, California.
Clue has gone on to create quite a legacy, and has been referenced in TV shows like Psych, Family Guy, CSI: NY, and Vagrant Queen. Fans are so fascinated by the film that Who Done It: The Clue Documentary was released in 2022.
There have been talks of a Clue remake since 2011, though the details of the development have changed quite a bit over the past 15 years. The director of the remake has changed hands several times, from Gore Verbinski to Jason Bateman to, most recently, James Bobin.
Supposedly, Ryan Reynolds is on board to star in the remake while Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick (who wrote Deadpool, Deadpool 2, and Life) were set to write the script. However, in 2022, Oren Uziel, who is best known for writing Escape Room: Tournament of Champions, took over the script. As of 2024, Hasbro Entertainment sought new rights arrangements, but there’s been no new updates on the project since.
Whether it’s your first time or your hundredth time seeing it, you can watch Clue for free on YouTube or Pluto TV. All of the alternate endings play in succession at the end, so you can enjoy all three.
