Golden Axe is now out on Paramount Plus! We spoke with co-creators and showrunners Mike McMahan and Joe Chandler about the show. We dove into what it means as storytellers to work in a fantasy setting and more. We also spoke with Danny Pudi and Carl Tart about their respective roles in the show. We discussed what it takes to craft a distinct voice for each character they embody.

The show is another instant classic, which I expected from the former Mike McMahan and Joe Chandler shows. The mix of humor and heart makes this a must-watch for fans of the original Sega series and newcomers alike. Even though I played the games when I was younger, I was unfamiliar with the world's lore, but I had no trouble diving headfirst into the show. Plenty of references and easter eggs cater to longtime fans of the SEGA series, but it never feels inaccessible. The cast is stacked with some of the best voice talent working in the business, with Emmy Award winners like Matthew Rhys or the absolutely hilarious improv god Lisa Gilroy. It makes for an extremely fun watch, with plenty of sword-swinging action and all the emotion you expect from a McMahan show.

We got the chance to sit down and chat with the incredibly talented Dawnn Lewis about her role in the new season of Futurama. Her new character is Coco Charm, a pop star. Dawnn co-composed Episode 5, "The Charm Offensive." She created the original melodies and vocal arrangements for all of Coco Charm's songs in the episode. She also sang all of the harmony parts in one session. We talk about what it was like working on music for a show like this, what music means to her, and more. Check it out!

We talk to one of the biggest writers at Marvel today, Jed MacKay, known for Black Cat, Moon Knight, Avengers, and of course X-Men. Ahead of 2026s big X-Men event DNX, we dive into how Jed crafted his X-Men team and their new antagonists, 3K, how he keeps sneaking Black Cat into books and how it feels to write one of the longest running books in recent Marvel history.

Jed MacKay is a Canadian comics writer best known for his work at Marvel Comics, including notable characters like Doctor Strange, Taskmaster, and the Daughters of the Dragon. He first worked with Marvel in 2011 for a short story in X-Men: To Serve and Protect #4 but had his big breakthrough with Black Cat in 2019.
