In 10 games this season, the sixth-overall pick from the 2015 NHL Entry Draft had not registered a point with just 10 shots on goal. While Zacha played well in the Devils’ first two games as the second-line center, he struggled to make an impression. This year’s performance is a far cry from his productivity the past two seasons. Zacha posted 24 points in 70 games during his first full season in 2016-17 and followed it up with 25 points in 69 games last season....
Universal and Blumhouse’s M3GAN, the upcoming killer doll movie from horror-megastar-producer James Wan, is soon set to join a long line of horror luminaries in the form of killer dolls.

The new M3GAN trailer opens with a shot of Violet McGraw’s Cady and the titular M3GAN followed by Allison Williams’ Gemma, narrating about how she designed the soon-to-be robot from hell to make Cady less lonely....

Now, thanks to a new Ms. Marvel poster, that connection to the Marvel audience has reached a new level. Featuring an uncompromisingly colorful display of the show’s cast, the image evokes the pure and addictive energy that everyone feels when they talk about that one thing they truly obsess over. But not only is it a visual feast, but it turns out there may be some cultural inspiration behind its design as well....
Most of that is because I have felt — for a considerably long time — that these hires were inevitable. But, there’s also part of me that wants to avoid beating a dead horse. If the anti-stat people couldn’t feel which way the tropical storm winds were blowing a few years ago, there’s no way they don’t feel the way these Category 5’s are ripping through now. However, Eric Tulsky said something over the weekend on Twitter that I couldn’t agree with more....
Keith Lee vs. Roderick Strong Keith Lee earned himself the title opportunity after winning a Fatal 4-Way match two weeks ago on NXT. Lee defeated Dominik Dijakovic, Damian Priest, and Cameron Grimes to earn the right to challenge Undisputed Era’s North American Champion, Roderick Strong. However, last week on NXT, Strong and the rest of The Undisputed Era attacked Lee by targetting his knee. But, that did not faze The Limitless One as he later took out Strong and the rest of The Undisputed Era in the parking lot area and afterward stated that he would end the prophecy of The Undisputed Era....

Japanese variety show Oha Suta (via Serebii) debuted the first-ever footage for the 20th Pocket Monster film. Now officially known as Pokemon: I Choose You, the film appears to be reintroducing the origin story of Ash and Pikachu through a brand new cinematic experience.

Ed Sheeran is known around the world for his pop music, and is very popular in Japan as well. It is still surprising to see him chosen as the artist behind the latest Pokemon song, though, as typically Japanese pop or rock stars remain the top choices.

Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle are well-known crowd favorites, and the community seems to support this notion by often creating fan art and merchandise that feature the three Pokemon. Even The Pokemon Company knows about the love for the Gen 1 starters, and often include one or all of them in their official partnerships with mainstream consumer brands....
The floodgates are officially open. In fact, the floodgates seem to have been washed away entirely, beaten down by the relentless crush of new releases.

Hoping to capitalize on extra bodies in the stores, publishers have seen fit to throw truckloads of second (and third, and um… fifth) tier titles at the retail racks, hoping against hope that something sticks....
