Static Media Heading into its fifth and final season, the Emmy-nominated “Star Trek: Lower Decks” will go down as one of the all-time great “Star Trek” series. The hit animated series on Paramount+ centers on the support crew of the U.S.S. Cerritos in the year 2380, one of […]

While “The Poseidon Adventure” was not the first splashy, big-budget natural-disaster movie, it is the pinnacle of the form.

“SpongeBob SquarePants” quickly became a worldwide success. In the U.S. it overtook “Pokémon” as the highest-rated Saturday morning cartoon on television within its first month on air, and it eventually took over “Rugrats” as the ratings champion of Nickelodeon.
