Watch Amanda Waller Absolutely Slay the Suicide Squad Anime's Ending Song

Warner Bros. has released the incredible ending credit sequence of its new Suicide Squad anime series, and whatever you feel about the DC team’s morally dubious director,Amanda Waller, you owe it to yourself to give it a watch.

♡7/5 放送開始／Premieres June 27♡ TVアニメ「異世界スーサイド・スクワッド」ノンクレジットED／Suicide Squad ISEKAI Non Credit ED Movie

What’s so striking about this—disregarding its exquisite animation and execution—is that what initially feels like a left-field Task Force X parody is, upon a moment’s consideration, strikingly in-character for Waller. Her attitude constantly vacillates from a righteous fury to a completely not-giving-a-shit attitude—which, somehow, she manages to convey in both measures here. What’s cooler than not trying to be cool, but still managing to be cool, anyway? Nothing short of commanding a clandestine organization of government-funded supervillains on a series of life-or-death missions, that’s what... and she knows it. It doesn’t hurt having Harley Quinn, Clayface, King Shark, Deadshot, Peacemaker, and Rick Flag to provide backup, either.

Suicide Squad Isekai’s stacked voice cast includes Anna Nagase as Dr. Harleen Quinzel, Yūichirō Umehara as the Joker, Reigo Yamaguchi as Floyd Lawton, Takehito Koyasu as Peacemaker, Jun Fukuyama as Basil Karlo, Subaru Kimura as Nanaue, Taku Yashiro as Flag, Chika Anzai as Katana, Reina Ueda as Fione, Mamiko Noto as Aldora, Jun Fukushima as Cecil, Yōji Ueda as Ratcatcher, Hōchū Ōtsuka as the Thinker, Shizuka Itō as Enchantress, Tarō Kiuchi as Killer Croc, and Kujira as Waller. The first three episodes premiere today on both Max and Hulu in the U.S., and on HBO Go in Southeast Asia, Hong Kong, and Taiwan.

The Only Version of Return of the King Worth Watching Missing From Max After Streaming Bug

Screenshot: Warner Bros. Bad news for Max subscribers who’ve made re-watching The Lord of the Rings extended editions an annual New Year tradition: the third film in the trilogy, The Return of the King — which just celebrated its 20th anniversary! —is only available to stream in its theatrical version. No ancient evil is to blame, thankfully; it’s an unspecified “tech issue,” according to a Max spokesperson who responded to a comment request from Vulture after the issue was noted by dismayed fans on Reddit . The fact that The Return of the King extended edition is merely temporarily unavailable is actually good news given Max’s track record for removing content in the past, and the explanation makes sense considering The Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers remain available in both their theatrical and extended editions. The Max spokesperson assured Vulture that The Return of the King extended edition will be, ah, returning soon to the service, though as of this writing i...

You Can Visit Freddy Fazbear's Pizza in Hollywood

Image: Universal Pictures Just in time for Halloween and for the release of Blumhouse and Universal Pictures’ Five Nights at Freddy ’s fans can visit a pop-up location of the fictional franchise from the game and film. That’s right, a Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza has mysteriously appeared in Hollywood. Like in the game and upcoming film, it’s a run-down spot that’s been closed down due to some mysterious activity within. Unfortunately, you can’t actually go in unless you’re hired as a security guard (kidding)—it’s just a facade for photo-ops you can visit. Check out the video captured by deadboifilms on TikTok below at the location on Sunset Blvd in Hollywood (near the Chateau Marmont Hotel). If you want to encounter the animatronic band of fuzzy and totally friendly creatures from the game, you’ll have to visit Universal Studios Hollywood Halloween Horror Nights, there’s a walk-through in the DreamWorks theater lobby that’s been taken over by Blumhouse which features the real Jim ...
