This week, I’ve been slowly catching up on Dark Matter; I’m about 20 hours into Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door on the Switch; and I’m still trying to work a trip to the movie theater into my schedule to see Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.

Trailers of the week: Thunderbolts, Rumors, and Disclaimer
I’m behind, in other words! And this week’s trailers shoveled so much more onto my need-to-watch pile, from the next Marvel MCU film, Thunderbolts, to the amusingly bizarre black comedy Rumours, to Disclaimer, Alfonso Cuarón’s new Apple TV Plus series. That’s to say nothing of all the game trailers from Sony’s State of Play event this week.
Check out some of my favorite trailers from this week below.
Thunderbolts
Marvel hasn’t said much about Thunderbolts, which sees David Harbour’s Red Guardian and his daughter, Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh) in a new outing that concludes the MCU’s phase 5 in May next year.
Joining them are Taskmaster (Olga Kurylenko), Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen), Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan), and John Walker (Wyatt Russell), with Valentina Allegra de Fontaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) as their apparent ring leader. There’s also a mystery character named Bob (Lewis Pullman) who, as The Verge’s Charles Pulliam-Moore hinted earlier this week — and Polygon went at head-on — is probably Sentry, a Marvel version of Superm—er, a flying bulletproof guy with superhuman strength, speed, and agility.
Rumours
I’m trying to think of the best thing to compare Rumours to. The big, sans-serif, drop-shadowed fonts scream 1970s-era exploitation films, as do its backlit fog and sometimes pinkish tint, which makes it look a bit like a well-aged film print.
The trailer has notes of Wes Anderson’s deliberate blocking and framing, mixed with the absurdism of Quentin Dupieux’s Rubber. There’s a gigantic brain? And some zombies. And leaders of the G7 nations, trapped in the woods with all of that. Whatever it is, Rumours, a black comedy from co-directors Guy Maddin, Evan Johnson, and Galen Johnson looks like it’ll be a hoot when it hits theaters on October 18th.
Sinners
Sinners sees one of director Ryan Coogler’s mainstay actors, Michael B. Jordan, playing 1930s twin brothers who go back to their hometown to start over, only to be confronted by some unknown horror.
The name and trailer point to a religious theme. (“You keep dancing with the devil, one day he’s gonna follow you home.”) But shadowy figures outside a juke joint and a young boy walking into a church with fresh claw marks on his face hint at more. Maybe it’s a murderous cult, maybe the town is beset by actual demons. What’s really going on is a total mystery, and hopefully, it’ll stay that way until its March 7th theatrical release.
Alfonso Cuarón’s new Apple TV series, Disclaimer, is a seven-part psychological thriller that starts streaming on October 11th. Cate Blanchett stars as a journalist named Catherine Ravenscroft, whose dark secrets are revealed in an anonymously written novel that is sent to her.
The secrets are apparently bad enough to threaten her relationship with her husband, Robert (Sacha Baron Cohen), and her son, Nicholas (Kodi Smit-McPhee). The series also stars Kevin Kline, Lesley Manville, Louis Partridge, Leila George, and Hoyeon, and it’s narrated by Indira Varma.

Google’s Sycamore quantum computer
Peter Kneffel/dpa/Alamy
In 2019, Google claimed that its Sycamore quantum computer could perform calculations that would take even the world’s most powerful classical supercomputer 10,000 years to complete – but now it seems that a non-quantum computer crunches the numbers several times faster than Google’s machine, and uses less energy doing so.
Quantum computers have the potential to carry out some kinds of calculations vastly more quickly than classical computers, but are still in their infancy. Google announced in 2019 that Sycamore had achieved “quantum supremacy” – the point at which a quantum computer can…

Razer comes out with wacky concepts every year — it’s hard to forget about the RGB-ridden Project Hazel face mask — but its recent Project Esther is turning into a real product. It’s called Freyja, and Razer says it’s the world’s first HD haptics gaming cushion. While not exactly a market that’s popping off, if there’s any company to sail into uncharted waters with haptics, it’s Razer.
We’ve seen attempts from Razer in the past to bring haptics to your back and butt, but Freyja looks much more practical than a full chair like the Enki Pro HyperSense. It’s a cushion that fits over most chairs with a tall back, including both Razer and non-Razer options. It needs power, but Razer has built a single-cable solution for Freyja with a quick-release connection so you don’t have to worry about pulling down your setup if you roll over the cable in the wrong way.
The cushion is sliced up into 16 zones, each of which can activate individually depending on what you’re doing. In games, Razer says Freyja will support some native integrations, where the haptics are designed specifically for the game. In other titles, the cushion will still work by simulating haptics based off of game audio, using sound direction and distance to create the effect. And, if you have other devices with Razer Sensa haptics, they’ll work together.
Gaming is the focus, but the haptics will work with just about any audio. You can get haptic feedback in a movie or music, for example, or the sensation of a live concert if you’re watching a stream of one. It’s hard to say how accurate the feedback will be, especially when it’s based solely off of audio. As we saw with Razer’s vibrating Kraken HyperSense headset, the sensation isn’t always consistent. Different forms of media mix audio in different ways, so some forms of media will be more extreme with the haptics while others will be more subtle.
If you’re interested in the Freyja, you can pick it up now, assuming you can stomach its steep price of $300.

The cushion was announced as part of RazerCon, and Razer shared several other announcements at the event. It showcased the recently released Black Widow V4 Pro 75% Wireless, and it also announced the Kraken V4 Pro headset and Razer’s first laptop cooling pad, which promises to reduce temperatures by up to 18%.
Sony‘s super limited and super cool PS5 Pro 30th Anniversary bundle may be gone but you can still pre-order the regular PS5 Pro, so it’s not a total loss. Sure, it’s not going to strike a chord with your nostalgia like the PS1-style colors would, but you still get an upgraded console. Sony officially announced the PS5 Pro earlier this month, noting that it would go up for pre-orders on September 26. Right on time, the console went up for pre-order on PlayStation Direct, alongside the 30th Anniversary bundle.
While the latter sold out in mere minutes or seconds, the standard PS5 Pro without all the goodies is still available. The sad part is that a fair number of the bundles seem to have been scooped up by scalpers. Which is par for the course with these devices. Luckily, scalper attention seems to have been solely focused on the bundle for the markup opportunity. That being said we wouldn’t wait too long for a PS5 Pro pre-order if you want one to keep. As there’s no telling how much stock Sony actually has.
The PS5 Pro is only available to pre-order from PlayStation Direct for now
If you want to secure your PS5 Pro, there’s one place to get it right now. That’s Sony’s official PlayStation Direct online store for all things PlayStation. It’ll be this way for the immediate future as well. For example, Best Buy will eventually have pre-orders available, but not until October 10. So if you want to go through Best Buy, you have another two weeks to wait.
Amazon doesn’t have the PS5 Pro listed for pre-order at all. Not even a banner that we could find that lists a future date. So for now, you have to get it directly through Sony. As mentioned, however, you can still add the pre-orders to your cart. So for the moment, Sony does have stock. You will, however, need to sign in with your PlayStation account to make the purchase.
Units ship out on November 7
Whether you’ve placed your pre-order already or not, there are still several weeks to wait before you get your hands on that shiny new console. Sony confirmed they’ll ship out on November 7.
Best Buy has the same date listed as well, as does Walmart. Sony’s PS5 Pro is really just a mid-gen refresh of the console but it does provide some tangible upgrades. For starters, it comes with 2TB of internal storage. That’s a huge step up for game storage. Especially if you factor in using the expandable SSD slot as well. Another big change is the ability to hit more consistent frame rates without sacrificing the graphics quality.
On the regular PS5, you have to choose between performance mode or quality mode. You can’t really have both. Sony’s PS5 Pro retails for $699.99 and is available for pre-order now.

Richard Powers’ Playground is a novel of contrasts: the vast unknown of Earth’s oceans, a place of constant discovery and marvelous creatures that seem always to be at play, versus technological advancement and the rise of AI; the unlikely friendship between a young poet and a boy whose life revolves around coding; a remote island with a tiny population still feeling the effects of a history of exploitation, and the tech elites who envision it as the stepping stone to their own utopia.
Through the perspectives of four characters who have been brought together on Makatea, an atoll in the South Pacific, Playground explores friendship, play, the wonders of the natural world and humanity in the age of artificial intelligence. Powers’ writing is beautiful, and Playground promises to leave you with a lot to think about.

The Long History of the Future: Why Tomorrow’s Technology Still Isn’t Here is a surprisingly entertaining look at the failed promises of technologies long touted to be on the horizon, and the grand ambitions of the innovators behind them. Tech and science journalist Nicole Kobie takes us on a journey through the decades to trace the roots of some of the biggest ideas that never quite came to fruition in the way it was once projected they would — flying cars, the hyperloop, robots that can actually do all of our chores for us, etc. Kobie offers a witty analysis and a lot of rich anecdotes, making for a really informative deep dive that’s also pretty fun to read.

It’s a big week for anyone who’s been waiting years for an English-language release of Charles Burns’ Dédales — Final Cut, as the English version is called, is here. Final Cut follows a group of friends who, led by aspiring filmmaker Brian, set out to make a sci-fi horror movie in the vein of Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Brian’s favorite movie. But obsession takes hold of Brian in a nightmare blend of romantic longing (for the film’s star, Laurie) and artistic creativity that has gone too far, and things take a turn for the dark and disturbing. As is characteristic for Burns, Final Cut is surreal and unsettling, made all the more impactful by his crisp illustrations. In some ways it feels like a spiritual successor to Black Hole, and I expect this to be one of those works I keep coming back to.
