11 Game of Thrones Reunions We Want to See in Season 8
We’re less than a month out from Game of Thrones’ epic eighth season, premiering April 14 on HBO. And while we’ve kept ourselves busy tracking down every clue we can find, digging into possible theories of what’s to come, let’s not forget that these final six episodes are also going to stab us right in the soul. Yes, the epic battles will also come with epic feels – some in the form of long-awaited reunions.
Here’s a brief rundown of all the characters we want to meet up, hook up, and sync up during Game of Thrones’ final bow. Sure, a lot of the list features Jon Snow finally seeing a bunch of folks he hasn’t set eyes on since the freakin’ first few episodes, before his adventures took him far away from the Starks and Lannisters, but it’s not all Jon.
First Dora The Explorer Movie Trailer Delivers Wild Jungle Action (And Boots The Monkey)
The first trailer for the upcoming movie Dora and the Lost City of Gold is here. The live-action film is based on the hugely popular animated Nickelodeon show Dora the Explorer, and stars Transformers: The Last Knight’s Isabela Moner as the intrepid teenage adventurer.
The trailer reveals that it is a jungle-set adventure that takes its influence from properties such as Tomb Raider, Jumanji, and the Indiana Jones series. Dora is a girl from a small village who is sent to a city high school by her adventurer parents. Of course, she soon finds herself on a dangerous expedition to find the mysterious City of Gold, alongside familiar characters such as her cousin Diego and faithful monkey pal Boots. Check it out below.
Dora and the Lost City of Gold also stars Michael Peña (Ant-Man and the Wasp) and Eva Longoria (Desperate Housewives) as Dora’s mom and dad, and Jeff Wahlberg as Diego. Danny Trejo (Machete, From Dusk Till Dawn) provides the voice of Boots, while Moner’s Sicario 2 co-star Benicio Del Toro voices the evil fox Swiper. We’re yet to see Swiper, so expect him to appear in a subsequent trailer. We yet don’t know if Dora’s map and backpack can also talk, as they do in the TV show.
The movie is directed by James Bobin, who is best known for movies such as The Muppets and Alice Through The Looking Glass, plus the musical TV comedy Flight of the Conchords. It releases on August 2. You can also check out the first poster, which was released earlier this week.
Dora the Explorer ran on Nickelodeon from 2000 to 2014 for 14 seasons and 172 episodes, and spawned the spin-off shows Dora and Friends: Into the City and Go, Diego, Go.

Report Says Apple To Reveal New Gaming Service Soon, But It’s Different
One of the big announcements that Apple could make during its reveal event on Monday is a new video game service. According to Bloomberg, Apple is creating a “premium games subscription” service for the App Store. Unlike the recently announced Google Stadia, or PlayStation Now and Microsoft’s xCloud, Apple’s service is not cloud-based.
Instead, it will focus on iPhones and iPads and bundle together paid games from different developers that consumers can access for a monthly fee,” Bloomberg reported.
One source said Apple will pay developers based on how much time users spend playing their title. The report goes on to claim that the service would only feature paid games, not free-to-play titles. The report also says the service may not be announced on Monday, but instead during its developer conference in June. That timing would be intriguing, as it’s just before E3.
According to analyst Serkan Toto, this kind of package offering is already available in Japan. He also points out that, if free-to-play games are indeed excluded, then Nintendo’s upcoming Mario Kart Tour wouldn’t be eligible. As you may recall, Apple partnered with Nintendo in a big way to promote and release the free-to-play Mario game Super Mario Run.
Problem is: if the article is to be believed, F2P content is excluded.
For Mario Kart Tour, both Nintendo and DeNA confirmed (not only one time) it will not be a paid game.
Let’s see.— Dr. Serkan Toto (Kantan Games Inc.) (@serkantoto) March 23, 2019
Go to Bloomberg to get the full story.
An earlier report suggested the March 25 Apple news conference will include the formal reveal of Apple’s plans for its own Netflix-style TV streaming service. All should become clear soon.
