Oakland 1987 is the setting for four tales that traverse the time period’s sub-cultures and film genres in the wacky sci-fi anothology Freaky Tales.

Opening night of the 2025 Phoenix Film Festival charmed audiences with the premiere of The Ballad of Wallis Island. Based on an award winning short film by director James Griffith and co-written with star James Basden, the melodic tones compliment a relatable tale of love and loss that’s packed with quite a few endearing laughs in what feels like a spiritual successor in tone to the cult favorite Once.

Self-proclaimed “really good lawyer” Matt Murdock returns to the streets of Hell’s Kitchen in the aptly named revival series Daredevil: Born Again. This time, however, the series has made the jump from Netflix to its new owner, Disney+, and had some creative team shifts behind the scenes. Fans of Ol’ Hornhead need not fret though, as the overall mature tone of the series and the quality of storytelling are still intact in this intense re-introduction of the character into the broader MCU.

After nearly 40 years, a first season on YouTube Red (remember that?), and a Netflix revival later the story of Cobra Kai is coming to its endgame in Cobra Kai Season 6: Part 3. This soapy little nostalgic drama wasn’t always great, but it always had heart and this final stretch of episodes is everything fans could ask for in one of the more satisfying series finales in a long while.
