The release of Twisters (2024) this past summer sparked a cultural phenomenon, full of pop-country hits, cowboy hats, and an increase in interest in meteorology. All of these effects, though, pale in comparison to the whirlwind (some may say twister-like) rise of lead actor Glen Powell. Many claim that the rise of Glen Powell, or the Glenassaince, as I prefer to call it, has been a long time coming. To that I say they are 100% correct.
Editors note: Are you a Transformers fan? This is for you. Going from the inception in 1984, to the underrated Transformers One in 2024.
“Create a world without malice, and full of beauty.”
Much has been said about the works of Hayo Miyazaki. In 1985, Miyazaki co-founded Studio Ghibli with Isao Takahata and Toshio Suzuki, establishing one of the most celebrated animation studios in the world. In 2002, Miyazaki won his first Academy Award for Spirited Away and was the first non-English film to win in the best animated feature category. He was nominated in the same category twice thereafter but did not win again till his fourth nomination for The Boy and the Heron in 2024.
