Now Playing: The Gray Man

Streaming on Netflix

Published

The Gray Man

Netflix’s very own spy action flick is upon us. The Gray Man follows Six, played by Ryan Gosling, who is a CIA top agent. One mission sees him uncovering agency secrets which inevitably puts a target on his back. Going above board, the agency hires a private contractor played by Chris Evans to hunt him down.

Luckily, some members of GadgetMatch were able to watch an advance screening. Here you’ll find their quick thoughts on the movie.

“Incredibly self-aware dialogue”

The Gray Man

Rodneil: If I’m being completely honest, I wasn’t really looking forward to watching the movie. Then, I checked the cast and saw Jessica Henwick and Ana de Armas. Sold. After actually watching the film, it makes you want (or want to be) Ryan Gosling’s Six (his character’s name).

Six is just, as Suzanne (Henwick) said towards the end of the movie, freakishly good at what he does. He’s the ultimate spy flick action man. Resourceful, slick, skilled in hand-to-hand combat, and like any main man in an action movie, incredible at using a handgun.

What elevates the movie, for me, is how incredibly self-aware the dialogue is. You will hear the characters quipping and making fun of action movie tropes without taking away from the overall tone of the movie. The humor here functions like a breather and doesn’t distract from the action and drama of the film.

Overall, it’s an enjoyable movie. Watch with your lover.

“Reminded me why I like action films”

The Gray Man

MJ: The Gray Man sort of reminded me why I like action films. The unexpected twists and turns; inescapable moments where you clench your fists in excitement. It’s like the moment in amusement parks where you take those thrilling rides, enjoying all the way up to the top and then you suddenly fall. It was thrilling; adrenaline filled my body.

Aside from adrenaline, I felt intense passion for Ryan Gosling, Chris Evans, and Ana de Armas. They were great in their roles, and they made you feel invested in the story.

The kickass scenes kept me on my toes, bedazzling me in almost every scene. It’s something I’d probably watch over and over again, like Legally Blonde.

“I was literally clenching my fist”

Apple: Unlike Rodneil, I must admit I was really waiting for this film, like I watched all the teasers and trailers of it. Because come on, why wouldn’t I when you have Ryan Gosling and Chris Evans together, right?

I expected ‘hot scenes’ (well there were some but I won’t spoil you) but what I really didn’t expect were literally hot scenes – bloody, explosive, fast and furious scenes that were just heart-stopping. I was literally clenching my fist almost the whole time and I loved every minute of it. Definitely my kind of action film.

Oh and also for Bridgerton fans, which is also on Netflix, you also get a taste of Regé-Jean Page in a suit here. So, I think I’ve said enough to make you see the film. Watch it, you’ll thank me for it.

“Powerhouse cast, Gosling is cool AF, but Evans steals the show”

Andre: To me, it was like John Wick meets Jason Bourne. It’s probably not too unfamiliar plot wise but the action was really intense. Numerous times, I found myself grabbing on the seat cringing with every demonstration of pain on screen but then lots of times I was laughing at their antics. Plus there were just so many creative ways of taking down the baddies.

Powerhouse cast, Gosling is cool AF, but Evans steals the show with that annoying attitude and ‘stache.

They’re really fun to watch and I still haven’t gotten over the action that I’ll likely be watching again on Netflix.

The Gray Man streams on Netflix starting July 22.

KPop Demon Hunters is officially getting a sequel

Maggie Kang and Chris Applehans will return to write and direct.

Published

This feels like a formality at this point. Netflix and Sony have officially confirmed that KPop Demon Hunters is getting a sequel.

If you feel like you’ve read this exact title before, then you’re not alone. Since its massive success last year, the hit animated film constantly spawned talks of a potential franchise. It probably helped that the title quickly became Netflix’s most-watched film of all time. From the last we’ve heard of the rumors, Netflix was reportedly eyeing a 2029 premiere for the sequel.

Now, it’s official. As posted by Netflix itself, KPop Demon Hunters will get a sequel soon. Even better, the follow-up will be written and directed by the same duo, Maggie Kang and Chris Applehans.

Kang, who celebrated the first movie’s ability to tell a Korean story, says that there’s a lot more to explore in the film’s universe. “There’s so much more to this world we have built and I’m excited to show you. This is only the beginning,” she said.

Right now, the plot’s sequel is still unknown, especially since the Saja Boys were defeated in the first film.

Given how big the original movie got, the sequel is no surprise. Besides bagging the top spot on Netflix’s charts, the film also got an eventual release in theaters. KPop Demon Hunters is up for a potential Oscars win after it was nominated for Best Animated Feature. Its hit song, “Golden,” is also nominated for Best Original Song.

The internet is thirsting over the One Piece Season 2 cast

Netflix One Piece Season 2

Clips from One Piece Season 2 are circulating across TikTok, Threads, and X — and the internet has reached a very clear conclusion.

Screenshots of Zoro, Nami, Luffy, and Miss All Sunday have been circulating widely online.

This cast is aggressively attractive.

One Threads post even asked the question outright: “Why is the One Piece cast aggressively attractive?” Judging by the reactions online, plenty of fans seem more than happy to investigate.

And after watching the new season ourselves, we can confirm: yes, the viral moments making the rounds online are very real.

Zoro continues to be the internet’s favorite

A big chunk of the viral clips revolve around Mackenyu as Zoro.

Specifically, a scene where the swordsman appears shirtless — showing off a physique that fans immediately began thirst-posting about across social media.

It’s the kind of moment that practically feels engineered for screenshots. Stoic expression. Scarred swordsman energy. Abs fully visible.

Naturally, the internet noticed.

Luffy gets his Hollywood abs moment

Even Iñaki Godoy gets a similar viral moment.

One circulating clip shows Luffy wearing nothing but a towel, with his abs in full view. Fans quickly clipped the scene and began sharing it across social platforms.

Godoy himself seems aware of the moment. In one interview clip now floating around online, the actor joked that he might as well enjoy the “Hollywood abs” moment now — since his next role might just have him playing a regular guy.

Fair point.

@lyn_ching7 Have you seen shirtless LUFFY yet? Prepare for his “12 pack” ⚔️😁 @Netflix Philippines @Netflix @onepiecenetflix #onepiece #netflix #netflixph ♬ original sound – Ms. Lyn Ching

The internet also noticed Miss All Sunday

Another character generating plenty of reactions online is Miss All Sunday, also known to fans as Nico Robin.

Trailer comments posted by Netflix quickly filled up with reactions from viewers pointing out the character’s striking appearance — including jokes asking why her chest looked so prominent in the preview.

Other fans quickly pushed back, asking the obvious question: why complain?

Nami might be winning the internet

Still, the character that seems to be getting the biggest reaction online is Nami.

Clips and screenshots of Emily Rudd wearing a tiny red bra have been circulating widely, with fans praising both the character’s look and Rudd’s screen presence.

The scene is brief, but it clearly made an impression.

And judging by the number of screenshots floating around online, a lot of viewers had the exact same reaction.

Some people tuned in out of curiosity.

Others may have tuned in after seeing those screenshots.

Honestly, fair.

Either way, the viral clips are real — and they’re all pulled directly from the new season.

One Piece Season 2 is now streaming on Netflix.

Samurai Champloo is getting a live-action adaptation

The adaptation is coming from One Piece’s Tomorrow Studios.

The live-action One Piece, which recently premiered its second season on Netflix, is one of the rare wins for the anime adaptation segment, especially after a string of misfires. Now, after the success of that series, things are getting bolder. Tomorrow Studios, which produced Netflix’s One Piece, will adapt Samurai Champloo into a live-action format.

Still from the brilliant mind of Shinichirō Watanabe, Samurai Champloo is often touted as the samurai version of Watanabe’s more popular Cowboy Bebop but with a more cohesive story and a hipper soundtrack. Since its first airing over two decades ago, the series has enjoyed a cult following, especially for those who enjoyed Cowboy Bebop.

First reported by Variety, Tomorrow Studios will adapt the show into a live-action series. Critically, Watanabe will be involved in the show’s production.

Because the show is still in early development, there’s no news beyond that. In fact, though it’s likely that Netflix will pick the series up, Tomorrow Studios hasn’t shopped the series to platforms yet.

Samurai Champloo is going to be a huge gamble for the studio. Previously, Tomorrow Studios crashed and burned with its Cowboy Bebop adaptation, which ended up getting canned soon after its premiere. Watanabe even criticized the series for changing the plot too much.

This time, however, Watanabe has given his blessing and will likely steer the adaptation to success. The studio has also promised an adaptation more faithful to the original’s story and soundtrack. Both of which were crucial to the original show’s success.
