What kind of 'Barbie' movie should Mattel make next?

We all remember the event of Summer 2023 -- Barbenheimer. But the Barbie movie didn't just get the world buzzing -- it had longtime Barbie fans leaping at the very real possibility of seeing more adaptations of the beloved childhood classics. These movies had incomparable plots, unmatched original soundtracks, and character arcs and twists that arguably surpass most films today -- especially in children's media. Mattel is just inches away from a gold mine of content -- its classic Barbie movies. I'm talking Princess and the Pauper, Magic of the Pegasus, 12 Dancing Princesses, etc. Don't be fooled by the 'girly' nature of their titles -- while these movies embrace femininity, their plot points were dark enough to make our parents' jaws drop. More than once, they found themselves sitting down, just as enraptured as we were by the ending.

Do you subscribe to Kindle Unlimited?

Though there are plenty of ways to get out of Amazon's Kindle ecosystem if you want, for those who don't mind the onboard OS, one of the biggest perks is being able to take advantage of a Kindle Unlimited subscription, which offers access to thousands of books for $11.99 monthly. Even if you read just one book a month, this is a really good deal. However, the catch is that this service typically doesn't offer titles from best-selling authors (think Stephen King, Brandon Sanderson and Sarah J. Maas) and instead focuses on up-and-coming or independently published authors. I have had this service infrequently over the past few years and though I've found a few hidden gems, I have always been a little frustrated by the selection. Do you have Kindle Unlimited?

Take-Two boss pinky-swears that GTA 6 is coming this fall

The wait for GTA 6 is finally set to end this year, and though gamers have been nervous about a potential last-minute delay regarding this hotly-anticipated title, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick recently quelled fears about a shifting release window. In an interview with IGN, Zelnick said that while "there's always a risk of slippage," the company "feel[s] really good about" the fall 2025 release date, and he expects to be able to share more soon. Gamers aren't the only ones waiting with baited breath to hear a release date for GTA, as other game makers have been holding off on announcing release dates for any games beyond the summer for fear of going up against this massively-anticipated title. Are you excited for GTA 6? If you had to guess, when do you think the title will finally make its debut? Personally, I like the theory that it will be launched alongside the Switch 2, even if that's a little far-fetched. Make your best guesses below!
