Sam Raimi isn’t only one of the best horror and superhero directors of the last 40 years, he’s also an incredibly successful producer who kickstarted the 90s syndication boom. Hercules, Xena, Young Hercules, Jack of All Trades, all of them were executive produced by Raimi and filmed in New Zealand. There’s another show in his stable, one that doesn’t get talked about as much as the others, and unlike all of them, it’s sci-fi. Cleopatra 2525 is so campy, it makes She-Spies seem grounded, and it was another Raimi hit that aired for two seasons. Today, you can’t find it streaming anywhere, which has denied generations the chance to see a stripper save the future.
Cleopatra 2525 Is A Sci-Fi Fever Dream
Cleopatra 2525 is as goofy as the title. Cleo (Jennifer Sky), an exotic dancer, was cryogenically frozen after a simple cosmetic procedure went wrong, and wound up waking up 500 years later in a future where humanity lives underground. AI has taken over the surface using drones called Baileys to keep humanity in check. Cleo joins the resistance fighters Hel (pre-FireflyGina Torres) and Sarge (Victoria Pratt) as they are given missions by The Voice (Elizabeth Hawthorne). Three women, missions given by only a voice? It’s sci-fiCharlie’s Angels.
Most of the plots center around Betrayers, which, as the name implies, are humans working for the Baileys. In practice, this turns episodes into games of Among Us where the team has to deduce who the Betrayer is, or go out of their way to capture a Betrayer, and you get the idea. As with Xena and Hercules, the majority of the episodes are self-contained adventures, though as with Raimi’s other shows, there’s a stable of supporting characters that pop in and out of the series.
What you can expect every episode is Cleo impressing the residents of the 25th century with her deep, philosophical musings, such as “The truth is out there” or “Live long and prosper. The Force is with you.” It’s a take on Idiocracy, years before Mike Judge released his documentary. Pop culture of today is to the future what Shakespeare is to us.
The Golden Age Of Campy Sci-Fi
The most surprising fact about Cleopatra 2525 isn’t that this fever dream of a sci-fi show was made in the first place, it’s that it lasted two seasons. As a reminder, Firefly, Almost Human, Flashforward, Terra Nova, 1899, none of those made it to two seasons. Amazingly, Jack of All Trades, which aired back-to-back with Cleopatra 2525 also made it to two seasons, proving that Sam Raimi knows exactly what to do to make a low-budget go as far as possible.
Cleopatra 2525 is available as an out of print DVD box set but other than that, it’s not streaming anywhere. For the longest time, it was on Tubi, which means it’ll likely pop back up at some point and when it does, it’s well worth checking out. The early 2000s were a Golden Age of campy, low-budget sci-fi that holds up remarkably well. It’s insane, the special effects looked dated back then, and yet, Cleopatra 2525 has more heart and joy than the majority of today’s sci-fi.
Everything is better with dinosaurs, that’s a scientific fact. Or even if it isn’t, maybe it should be, because science makes sense that way. You know what? Bill Nye would probably back us up on that one. One of the biggest franchises in the world is heading into much bigger, stompier territory this summer, and the Science Guy is one of the key figures involved in dealing with some dino DNA.
The PAW Patrol gang is heading for a new adventure, crash-landing on an island full of dinosaurs, which feels like a lot for a group of dogs who already have to deal with Mayor Humdinger on a regular basis. Some of them just want a quiet life. This time around, the PAW Patrol pups end up shipwrecked on an uncharted tropical island full of dinosaurs, and it’s there that they meet Rex, a young dog who’s been stranded on the island for years and is essentially Dr. Alan Grant at this stage. Things quickly get worse when Mayor Humdinger begins recklessly mining the island for its natural resources, accidentally triggering a huge dormant volcano. That isn’t good.
The new trailer for PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie will also arrive on Wednesday, June 10, ahead of the film’s theatrical release on August 14, 2026. The movie will also feature a new Backstreet Boys single, “Bottle Up,” presumably because if you’re making a kids movie that might end up driving parents round the bend, you may as well through in a bop full of pop nostalgia for the parents too.

Collider Exclusive · Sci-Fi Survival Quiz Which Sci-Fi World Would You Survive? The Matrix · Mad Max · Blade Runner · Dune · Star Wars
Five universes. Five completely different ways the future went wrong — or sideways, or up in flames. Only one of them is the world your instincts were built for. Eight questions will figure out which dystopia, galaxy, or desert wasteland you’d actually make it out of alive.
💊The Matrix
🔥Mad Max
🌧️Blade Runner

🏜️Dune
🚀Star Wars
Advertisement
01
You sense something is deeply wrong with the world around you. What do you do? The first instinct is often the truest one.
Advertisement
02
In a world of scarcity, what resource do you guard most fiercely? What we protect reveals what we believe survival actually requires.
Advertisement
03
What kind of threat keeps you up at night? Fear is useful data — if you’re honest about what you’re actually afraid of.
Advertisement
04
How do you deal with authority you don’t trust? Every dystopia has a power structure. Your approach to it determines everything.
Advertisement
05
Which environment could you actually endure long-term? Survival isn’t just tactical — it’s physical, psychological, and very much about where you are.
Advertisement
06
Who do you want in your corner when things fall apart? The company you keep is the clearest signal of who you actually are.
Advertisement
07
Where do you draw the line — if you draw one at all? Every survivor eventually faces a moment that tests what they’re actually made of.
Advertisement
08
What would actually make survival worth it? Staying alive is one thing. Having a reason to is another.
Advertisement
Your Fate Has Been Calculated You’d Survive In…
Your answers point to the world your instincts were built for. This is the universe your temperament, your survival instincts, and your particular brand of stubbornness were made for.
Advertisement
The Resistance, Zion
The Matrix
You took the red pill a long time ago — probably before anyone offered it to you. You’re a systems thinker who can’t help but notice the seams in things.
Advertisement
You’re drawn to understanding how the system works before figuring out how to break it.
You’d find the Resistance, or it would find you — your instinct for spotting constructed realities is the machines’ worst nightmare.
You function best when you have access to information and the freedom to act on it.
The Matrix built an airtight prison. You’d be the one probing the walls for the door.
The Wasteland
Mad Max
The wasteland doesn’t reward the clever or the well-connected — it rewards those who are hard to kill and harder to break. That’s you.
Advertisement
You don’t need comfort, community, or a cause larger than the next horizon.
You need a vehicle, a clear threat, and enough fuel to outrun it — and you’re good at all three.
You are unsentimental enough to survive that world, and decent enough — just barely — to be something more than another raider.
In the wasteland, that distinction is everything.
Los Angeles, 2049
Blade Runner
You’d survive here because you know how to exist in moral grey areas without losing yourself completely.
Advertisement
You read people accurately, keep your circle small, and ask the questions others prefer not to answer.
In a city where humanity is a legal designation rather than a feeling, you hold onto something that keeps you functional.
You’re not a hero. But you’re not lost, either.
In Blade Runner’s world, that distinction is everything.
Arrakis
Dune
Arrakis is the most hostile environment in the known universe — and you are precisely the kind of person it rewards.
Advertisement
Patience, discipline, and political awareness are your core strengths — and on Arrakis, they’re survival tools.
You understand that the long game matters more than any single victory.
Others come to Dune and are consumed by it. You’d learn its logic and earn its respect.
In time, you wouldn’t just survive Arrakis — you’d begin to reshape it.
A Galaxy Far, Far Away
Star Wars
The galaxy far, far away is vast, loud, and in a constant state of violent political upheaval — and you wouldn’t have it any other way.
Advertisement
You find meaning in being part of something larger than yourself — a cause, a crew, a rebellion.
You’d gravitate toward the Rebellion, or the fringes, or whatever pocket of the galaxy still believes the Empire’s grip can be broken.
You fight — not because you have to, but because standing aside isn’t something you’re capable of.
In Star Wars, that willingness is what makes all the difference.

WithBackrooms, Obsession, and Masters of the Universe dominating headlines this past week, a major update slipped through the cracks. No, it isn’t the underperformance of The Mandalorian and Grogu, to the point that the movie is now trailing Solo: A Star Wars Story. Nor is it the textbook counter-programming provided by the World War II drama-thriller Pressure, starring Brendan Fraser and Andrew Scott. This past weekend, when all these titles were jostling for space in the upper half of the domestic box-office list, a holdover mega-hit passed a milestone that no other movie has passed this year.
This time in 2025, the Chinese animated hitNe Zha 2 had already cemented itself as the biggest movie in the world with more than $2 billion at the box office. In Hollywood, the live-action Lilo & Stitch remake became the first film of 2025 to hit the $1 billion mark. Would you believe that no 2026 movie — domestic or otherwise — had managed to replicate this achievement until now? What’s more surprising is that 2026 is leading 2025 in year-on-year box-office returns by around $300 million domestically. However, this past weekend saw The Super Mario Galaxy Movie hit the $1 billion milestone, a little more than two months into its run, and after it had been made available on the PVOD market. The movie debuted in theaters on April 1, and has since gone on to make $428.5 million in North America and $571.5 million in other territories for a cumulative global haul of exactly $1 billion.

‘The Super Mario Galaxy Movie’ Doesn’t Need Positive Reviews
The sequel was released three years after The Super Mario Bros. Movie, which shattered expectations to gross $1.3 billion worldwide. These movies have given Universal and Illumination another franchise to rely on, especially with the Despicable Me series in flux. That said, the Despicable Me franchise will return shortly with Minions & Monsters. Produced on a reported budget of $110 million, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie brought back Chris Pratt and Charlie Day in the central roles, along with Anya Taylor-Joy and Jack Black. Brie Larson, Donald Glover, and Glen Powelljoined the franchise as new characters. Like its predecessor, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie wasn’t exactly critically acclaimed. It holds a 42% score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes. However, the film’s “Verified Hot” 88% audience score paints an entirely different picture, and perhaps explains why it’s the year’s first $1 billion blockbuster. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.

“No, I don’t think so,” the former talk show host, 64, told E! News at the 2026 Tony Awards on Sunday, June 7.
O’Donnell said she decided to get a facelift, despite previously being against the procedure, after losing a considerable amount of weight, which caused her to have excess skin on her face.
“I’m on [diabetes and weight loss drug] Mounjaro for the last three years. I have diabetes, and I lost over 50 pounds and then was responsible for a lot of the extra skin that I had around my face,” she explained. “And there were two lines that made me look sad. In Ireland, people would say, ‘Are you upset, darling? What’s the matter, love?’ and I’m like, ‘That’s just my face. I’m not upset. It’s just how I look.’”
While some prefer to fly under the radar when they get plastic surgery, celebrities including Denise Richards, Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ Jessi Ngatikaura and Heidi Montag keep it candid. After getting some of her enhancements reversed in 2013, Montag exclusively told Us Weekly that she struggled with the decision. Thank You! You have successfully subscribed. […]
The former View cohost, who moved to Ireland last year, first shared her transformation in a May 25 Substack post, admitting that she initially felt the procedure “was a betrayal. Of feminism. Of aging. Of our team of women worldwide.”

However, since going under the knife in January, O’Donnell said she wants to be open and honest about the work she’s had done.
“Authenticity is the goal in these days and times, and people are lying about everything all day to the American public. It’s very depressing to me and unsettling, and I think all that matters is truth and love,” she said. “And so, I wanted to be truthful and say all the complicated feelings I had about it.”
“I just felt it was better to be truthful than not, and I didn’t want some tabloid to go, ‘Gotcha!’” the comedian went on. “I just wanted to say, ‘Here’s what I did, here’s the doctor…’ and if you want to, it’s very expensive. It’s more expensive than any car I ever bought, but I can’t drive around in my face.”
Rosie O’Donnell surprised fans in May 2025 by revealing a positive update on her weight loss journey — which she credited to using the medication Mounjaro. The injectable drug (also known as tirzepatide) is similar to Ozempic and Wegovy in that it is used primarily to treat diabetes, but can also be effective in weight […]
In her Substack post, O’Donnell addressed how her appearance changed after losing weight, writing, “It wasn’t wrinkles — it was gravity. I’d look in the mirror and think, ‘This isn’t aging, this is melting with intention.’ I tried to be evolved about it and say things like, ‘This is natural. This is earned.’ And then … ‘Umm, how earned does it have to look?’ There’s a point where acceptance starts to feel like lying.”

O’Donnell said she enlisted a doctor who had worked with some of her friends and is pleased with the results of her procedure.
“I wanted to still be me, just … less haunted. And I do look like me — a slightly more well-rested, emotionally stable version of me,” she wrote.
“I didn’t disappear, I didn’t become someone else — I just stopped arguing with the mirror,” O’Donnell added. “And maybe that’s enough. Or at the very least … it’s what a lower deep plane facelift looks like when it minds its own business.”

The unstoppable Ridley Scott has a new project in the works, and this time he’s brought Hugh Jackman along as his first mate. Together, the two are set to sail the seven seas in a new nautical adventure adapting one of the most beloved seafaring tales of all time. However, the film is looking for a movie studio to be its port of call.

According to reports, Jackman is set to star in a new adaptation of the classic Robert Louis Stevenson novel Treasure Island. Jackman will play iconic pirate Long John Silver in the film, which is looking for a studio home. Scott has traditionally worked with 20th Century, and did present the project to the studio; however, as 20th Century is now an arm of the Disney octopus, the studio did not want to release a pirate project that might compete with its blockbuster Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, which the studio intends to continue or reboot at some point in the future.

“I think Yana Grebenyuk Taylor [Sheridan] is going to let me hang around,” Thornton, 70, exclusively told Us Weekly while attending the Newport Beach TV Fest sponsored by Visit Newport Beach on Saturday, June 6, hinting that his character won’t be killed off just yet.
Thornton’s insight comes after season 1 of the hit Paramount+ series concluded with Monty (Jon Hamm) dying after suffering numerous strokes. The death shocked viewers, considering Hamm’s status as a main cast member. In season 2, Thornton’s character took over Monty’s role at the oil tycoon’s company M-Tex.
Tommy has since branched out from M-Tex, but he is once again at the center of the business, which has made some fans worry that it could cause health issues down the line. While the audience can breathe easy about Tommy’s faith for now, season 2 left a lot of unanswered questions.
Taylor Sheridan‘s hit series Landman was renewed for season 3 — but which stars are and aren’t returning after that shocking firing? Inspired by the “Boomtown” podcast series, Landman is focused on the West Texas oil industry with a specific focus on crisis executive Tommy Norris and his family. The Paramount+ show, which premiered in […]
Both Ali Larter and Andy Garcia revealed to Us that they were in the dark about what is still to come.

“I really can’t even assume or try to guess what Taylor is going to imagine for season 3,” Larter, 50, shared at the event. “One thing I know is that to be able to get this far into our story lines, we all know each other. So the characters really understand what their dynamics are.”
Larter, who plays Angela, teased that Sheridan will “just lean into that,” adding, “And I think what’s nice is that it’s not the first time. So when you’re going back down, it’s not the anxiety and the nervousness. You’ll get a little bit of the jitters, but to be able to go down and just do what we love [is wonderful].”
Emerson Miller/Paramount+
Garcia, 70, had a similar outlook on the experience.
“I’m in Taylor’s hands. I’m in it to win it. So, whatever he wants or has plans for me, I’m ready to execute,” he told Us. “It all starts from the writing. He’s the writer — and he’s the storyteller — and I think he writes all the characters in a very specific way. They are very well rounded and the stories are intertwined in a way that’s very engaging and he has a flair for the dramatic.”
Garcia continued, “He also [has] an understanding of humanity and empathy and he has an insight into relationships that are very keen. Whether it’s husband and wife, or father and daughter, or father and son, or in case maybe a businessman. It’s a privilege. When you have great writing, it’s always a privilege.”
Taylor Sheridan‘s Landman introduced some shocking twists and turns — but where would season 3 go after Demi Moore‘s Cami fired Billy Bob Thornton‘s character Tommy? Landman, which premiered in November 2024, is Sheridan’s newest hit series, joining the ranks of Yellowstone, Mayor of Kingstown, Tulsa King, Lawmen: Bass Reeves and Lioness. Based on the […]
Thornton, for his part, showed his support for Sheridan’s work — and once again took the chance to advocate for the prolific producer’s lack of award show recognition.

“It’s like, ‘If you have a disagreement over someone’s way or vibe or whatever it is, that’s not the point,” he noted. “The point is, is he good? He writes great stuff.”
The actor continued, “He’s created quite an empire — and you have to respect him for that. He has the fame, he has the success, he deserves to be recognized for his work in TV shows, for sure.”
Euphoria‘s Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje is addressing the confusion over Alamo and Maddy’s shocking hookup.
“With regard to the wonderful Alexa Demie — and what a great performance of Maddy — there was a lot of conjecture as to whether she slept with him,” Akinnuoye-Agbaje, 58, exclusively told Us Weekly.
“He laid out the bikini, he put on Etta James, he got the champagne, he’s in the hot tub in a snake skin speedo,” he noted. “I don’t think he’s there to play with the tootsies. So I just thought that was pretty obvious.”
Euphoria has caused a lot of confusion for viewers throughout the seasons — and now they are asking what exactly took place between Maddy and Alamo. Ahead of the season 3 finale, Maddy (Alexa Demie) had to ask Alamo (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje) for money after Cassie (Sydney Sweeney) found out that Nate (Jacob Elordi) only had […]
The actor has enjoyed the offscreen reaction to his character’s development, adding, “What has been amusing is I’ve seen a few memes of what they call M and M — Mo and Mads — with four cocoa colored babies. That’s kind of fun. But I’ve done my part. I leave the rest for you guys to make your own movies.”

Euphoria viewers were initially confused after a May episode of the hit HBO show had Alamo forcing Maddy to put on a bathing suit and get in a hot tub with him. He ultimately agreed to help Maddy get the $1 million needed to save Nate (Jacob Elordi), but the scene cut off before the rest of their interaction was shown.
HBO
In the season 3 finale, which aired earlier this month, Maddy visited Alamo at his strip club, where he made a move on her while proposing they have four kids together. Alamo started to touch Maddy — who got on his lap — before the scene cut out again amid an implied but unseen kiss.
“I think he saw things in Maddie that reminded him of himself,” Akinnuoye-Agbaje shared. “She’s a business woman, she’s bold and she’s well put together. She’s a no-nonsense person.”
Akinnuoye-Agbaje thought Alamo was “turned on by that,” saying, “He was inspired by that. The point that she came into his life, he had achieved everything, he defeated the DEA, he defeated Laurie, he got rid of Rue the rat and he’d gotten all of the drugs and the money. He was on top of the world.”
“He realized he has everything but nothing. He had this wonderful moment of self-reflection — this epiphany that he had been exploiting women all this time — and now he wanted to surrender to them,” he continued. “He mistakenly — or rightly — thought that, ‘OK, Maddy, you’re The One.’ But obviously when push comes to shove — excuse the pun — he threw her out the window and used her as a bulletproof shield.”
Akinnuoye-Agbaje only saw one ending for Alamo. “He was always going to be about himself first,” he told Us. “That is the man. So would they have had a future? I think he would have tried. They would have had their cocoa colored babies, perhaps. But I think anytime he was under threat — his empire or his life — he would have sacrificed her in a minute as we saw in the showdown.”

After playing such a divisive character, Akinnuoye-Agbaje is curious what role will come his way next, adding, “I personally always like to go with things that challenge me to do something different. It could be humor or could be a comedy. The one thing I would say is that I’ve played a character that’s been so rich, complex, and layered that anything I do has to be at least on that level.”
He concluded, “How that manifests, I don’t mind. But I think I always like to keep my audience guessing. I enjoy disappearing from myself and transforming. So it would be probably something different for what I’ve played. It could be something that’s the antithesis to what I’ve just played.”
