Titan: The OceanGate Disaster examines the mindset of OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush and his determination to become a leader in oceanic exploration. Through whistleblower testimony, audio recordings and footage from the company's beginnings, the film offers fresh perspective on the implosion of the Titan submersible that commanded the world's attention in June 2023. Rush was among the five people who died aboard the vessel while it was off the coast of Canada during a voyage to the Titanic wreckage.
'There was no way of knowing when Titan was going to fail,' one individual says in the trailer. 'But it was a mathematical certainty that it would fail.'
Another participant in the project says in the footage, 'I thought Stockton was a borderline psychopath. How do you manage a person like that who owns the company?'
Producers for Titan: The OceanGate Disaster include Monroe, Lily Garrison and Jon Bardin. Liz Garbus, Dan Cogan, Kate Barry, Mala Chapple, Tommy Coriale, Jude Gerard Prest, Hannah Olson and Amy Herdy serve as executive producers.
Monroe is a filmmaker who won a WGA Award for his writing work on the Ron Howard-directed documentary feature Jim Henson: Idea Man.

‘KPop Demon Hunters' Arrives On Netflix With Stellar Critics' Score
Mira (voice by May Hong), Rumi (voice by Arden Cho) and Zoey (voice by Ji-young Yoo) in "KPop Demon ... More Hunters." KPop Demon Hunters premiered on Netflix Friday and it has already won over Rotten Tomatoes critics and users. A musical fantasy comedy movie produced by Sony Pictures Animation, KPop Demon Hunters is being released on the streaming service as a Netflix Original. The official summary for KPop Demon Hunters reads, 'When they aren't selling out stadiums, Kpop superstars Rumi, Mira and Zoey use their secret identities as badass demon hunters to protect their fans from an ever-present supernatural threat. Together, they must face their biggest enemy yet – an irresistible rival boy band of demons in disguise.' KPop Demon Hunters stars the voices of Arden Cho as Rumi, May Hong as Mira and Ji-young Yoo as Zoe. The voice cast also includes Ahn Hyo-seop as Jinu, Kim Yunjin as Celine, Daniel Dae Kim as Healer, Ken Jeong as Bobby and Lee Byung-hun as Gwi-Ma. As of Friday, Rotten Tomatoes critics have given KPop Demon Hunters a stellar 94% 'fresh' rating based on 17 reviews. In addition, the film has received an even higher rating from viewers — a 97% 'fresh' Popcornmeter score based on 50-plus verified user ratings. RT's Critics Consensus and audience summary are still pending. What Are Individual Critics Saying About 'KPop Demon Hunters'? Toussaint Egan of IGN Movies is among the critics on RT who give KPop Demon Hunters a fresh rating, noting that the film is 'a terrific directorial debut for animator Maggie Kang and yet another feather in Sony Pictures Animation's well-plumed cap.' Isaiah Colbert also gives the film a 'fresh' rating on RT, writing, 'With high-energy fight sequences and moments of genuine hilarity, KPop Demon Hunters never loses sight of the magic that makes animation and idol culture so irresistibly fun.' Jeff Ewing of Collider also gives KPop Demon Hunters a 'fresh' review on RT, writing, 'It's a beautifully bonkers fantasy premise that works, thanks to gorgeous animation and choreography, fun lore, a set of talented voice performances, and catchy tunes.' Ryan Guar of Discussing Film also sings high praises of the film on RT, writing,' KPop Demon Hunters delivers on being one of the most visually interesting movies of 2025. Sony Pictures Animation is the best animation studio in the West right now, and even their narratively flawed films like this one are still exhilarating to watch.' As of this publication, only one RT critic — Mark Dujsik of Mark Reviews Movies — gave KPop Demon Hunters a 'rotten' review, writing, '[In] its quest to be about something 'real,' the movie loses its sense of genuine fun.' Directed by Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans, KPop Demon Hunters is new on Netflix.

‘Arcane,' returning from a 3-year hiatus, leads early Best Animated Program Emmy odds
The second and final season of Arcane is poised to shake up the 2025 Emmys. There are 38 submissions this year in the Best Animated Program category, which means there will again be five nominees. Leading the pack, per the Gold Derby odds, is Arcane. More from GoldDerby The 10 most Lynchian items at the David Lynch auction - and how much they sold for Best Drama Writing Emmy predictions: 'The Pitt' takes a risk by submitting 3 episodes 'Jaws' at 50: How Spielberg's movie changes 'horrified' wife of novel writer Peter Benchley Netflix's steampunk action-adventure show came on strong for its first season at the 2022 Emmys, winning Best Animated Program and three trophies for Best Individual Achievement in Animation. Three years later, it's back for Season 2, and there's no reason to think Television Academy members won't be just as enamored this time around. Arcane wrapped up major plot points in the series finale, "The Dirt Under Your Nails," in which destinies clashed in the lead-up to an all-out war. This is the episode that has been submitted for Emmy consideration. READ: The one show best positioned to beat Arcane in our odds is The Simpsons. The longest-running American scripted primetime series ever wrapped up its 36th season in May with its 790th episode. To date, The Simpsons has won 37 Emmys from 102 nominations, including 12 trophies for Best Animated Program. The comedy about the denizens of Springfield most recently prevailed in 2023 for "Treehouse of Horror XXXIII," but was beaten last year by Blue Eye Samurai, which is not currently in the running. This time around, the season premiere, "Bart's Birthday," is being entered for Emmy consideration, which serves a meta take on the show's eventual series finale. Love, Death + Robots has a near-perfect track record at the Emmys, winning 13 of its 15 nominations through the years. It won Best Short Form Animated Program for each of its first three seasons in 2019, 2021, and 2022, but is now competing against the big dogs up in the main Best Animated Program race. (There is no short form animation category this year, possibly due to a dearth of eligible submissions.) Season 4 of the anthology series streamed all 10 episodes on May 15, right at the tail end of the eligibility period. The third episode, "Spider Rose," has been submitted, and focuses on a grieving woman hellbent on revenge at the end of the galaxy. In fourth place is Bob's Burgers, a 13-time nominee in this category and two-time winner (2014 and 2017). Season 15 was split into two parts, with the first part airing at the end of 2024 and the second part airing now and through the summer. The eighth episode, "They Slug Horses, Don't They?," is being put forward for Emmy consideration, in which Tina and Louise get into an argument that escalates across several increasingly graphic "apology" cards. Invincible comes in fifth place for a nomination. Emmy voters will be judging the sixth episode of Season 3, "All I Can Say Is I'm Sorry," where a powerful new figure challenges Markus "Mark" Grayson/Invincible (voiced by Steven Yeun), and helps him to explore the concept of right vs. wrong. The superhero series streams on Prime Video, and received its first Emmy nomination last year for Sterling K. Brown for voicing Angstrom Levy. Gold Derby's Emmy odds are based on the combined forecasts of more than 4,100 people (and counting), including experts we've polled from major media outlets, editors who cover awards year-round for this website, and the mass of users who make up our biggest predictions bloc.

Days of Our Lives Recap: Xander and Sarah Clash Over Victoria
Days of Our Lives Recap: Xander and Sarah Clash Over Victoria originally appeared on Daytime Confidential. On today's Days of Our Lives recap: Titan/DiMera: Stephanie arrives to see Alex. She wants to see if he can head out, but Alex says he has to cover with both Xander and Philip out. He promises they will soon make up for lost time. The couple begin to make out and he leans her over the desk. As they are about to go full press, Kate arrives, and Stephanie makes a quick exit. Kate tells Alex what she walked in on could have been a page out of 'One Stormy Night.' She admits she is loving the book but has misplaced it. He can't imagine what he's going to tell the author. Kate apologizes and says she's been distracted with Philip and John. Alex understands and Kate goes on to say how worried she is someone will take the manuscript and use it as their own. Kate promises to keep looking and Alex says the job offer is still open to her. She says she still has to decline the offer because she couldn't possibly work for Xander. Kiriakis Mansion: Maggie and Sarah are sipping tea and discussing John's funeral. Maggie says dying a hero was fitting for him as it's the way he lived. Maggie remembers Sarah being hit by the car the year before and how John's intuition told him Brady was always innocent (Can we please get Xander's mother back?). Sarah talks a bit about Xander and feels so foolish to have believed he had changed (I don't like the Xander is to blame narrative here). Sarah says she loves Xander but realizes love might not be enough. She can't believe she wasted time feeling so guilty for keeping the secret when Xander did exactly what she thought he would (Again, that doesn't mean you are free and clear Miss Sarah). She talks a bit about their last confrontation and Maggie thinks Xander is trying to blame Sarah for something he has already done. Sarah worries as Xander wants to see Victoria. She knows he would never hurt her nor Victoria but is concerned she'll get sucked back into his orbit. Sarah considers taking Victoria and going on the run. Maggie begs Sarah to be careful. She knows Xander is likely to go to prison, but a judge can rule on a custody battle in all kinds of different ways. Knowing Xander would never hurt Victoria, why in the world would Sarah ever consider going on the run. Horton Square: Xander has bought a dress for Victoria when EJ walks up to give him the business about the hospital vote. Xander tells him to piss off and walks away. Salem PD: Jada and Belle discuss John. Belle says she needs to be distracted and wants to get back to work on Philip and EJ's cases. Jada can't believe Xander was granted bail. Belle says she is deadest on prosecuting him. Shawn Douglas arrives and tells Belle he's there to support her. She has no time and quickly exits. Jada inquires and he says they are just awkward around each other. She says she is sorry for his loss and asks what's up. Shawn D apologizes for lying about being sick the other day. Jada admits she knows the entire story and is thrilled Bo is on the mend. Shawn D is thrilled as well but is devastated by John's passing. He starts to go into the details of the mission, but she stops him, so she has plausible deniability. University Hospital – Philip's Room: Kayla enters, and Kate asks about John's wake. Kayla says it was a perfect celebration of John's life. Kate says she would have been there but needed to be near Philip. Kayla understands and says his labs show much improvement. Kate doesn't want to leave as she fears her son's life is still in danger. She can't wait for him to wake up so he can identify Xander as his attacker. Kate mentions her misplaced manuscript and says she hates she can't read more to him, even though it's somewhat inappropriate. Kate begs her son to wake up so they can catch up. She kisses him on the forehead and exits the room. Brady Pub: Outside, Xander runs into Kayla. She goes off on him and Xander assumes Sarah has poisoned the water. Kayla is furious that his inability to control his anger may have ruined his life for good. With that, she storms off. Xander is sitting on the bench when Sarah calls asking him to meet up. Horton Square: Belle is chatting with Claire about her grandpa John's funeral. She says she is going to wrap up some cases and pay her and Theo a visit. She hangs up but then spots EJ and pretends to still be talking. Just then, EJ walks up and catches her in the midst of pretending. He asks her to be honest if she doesn't want to see him. Belle says she doesn't know if she can deal with their relationship at this point in time. EJ understands but wishes he could be there to support her. With that, he exits. Shawn Douglas walks up and finds Belle alone and asks to talk. He says he just spoke with Claire Bear and learned she is headed soon to South Africa. They agree they could be trusted to visit their daughter at the same time. University Hospital – Lobby: Kayla walks in and doesn't realize the manuscript is on the desk. Jus then, Stephanie arrives to talk to her mother. She asks about her father and closing down Black Patch. Kayla says she is just as concerned but selfishly wants him to lead a safer existence. Stephanie asks if she could host a special dinner to celebrate her father to life his spirits. Kayla thinks it's a great idea and Stephanie makes her exit. Kiriakis Mansion: Xander arrives and wants to talk about Victoria. Sarah says she won't even consider joint custody. He asks what she's considering, and Sarah says he can have supervised visitation at the mansion. She says she will agree to her terms or do nothing and Xander agrees. Xander wants to go upstairs to see his daughter but Sarah gets all kinds of shouty and says she makes the rules now because he tried to kill his brother (Again, this narrative drives me insane). Xander says Sarah is responsible for setting the tone for everything that's happening now. Sarah counters his violent tendencies will be responsible for him missing his daughter's formative years (Ugh). Stephanie's Place: Stephanie arrives home and asks Jada if she's willing to attend a dinner for her father and his retirement. Jada agrees and just then Alex arrives. He begins to undress before he sees Jada behind him. She decides to run an errand and says she will meet up with them at The Bistro later in the evening. University Hospital – Kayla's Office: EJ arrives to see Kayla. He says how much he is looking forward to working together. They go back and forth, and Kayla reluctantly agrees to work with the hospital's new owner. Endings Kayla tells EJ about Bo's miraculous recovery via Versavix. Ej admits to being excited about the money-making potential but also wants to make sure the hospital survives. With that, he presents her with a plan, including changes, that will help the institution move forward. Stephanie tells Alex about the upcoming dinner/celebration for her father, after which they can celebrate. Belle tells Shawn Douglas she is confused about her feelings. He admits he is confused as well. Shawn D says he wants to support Belle in whatever way he can. She gets it and knows she dan count on him. With that, they embrace… just as EJ arrives on the scene. Sarah tells Maggie how much she hates Xander even though she really loves him. Xander arrives in Philip's hospital room… Kate tells Roman she will be home soon. She turns around and starts to look for the manuscript. Xander grabs a pillow and tells Philip everything will be over before he knows it. Keep checking back for the latest Days of Our Lives recaps! This story was originally reported by Daytime Confidential on Jun 14, 2025, where it first appeared.
