There’s only one thing on our minds this week, and it’s likely the same that’s on yours. That’s right, I’m talking about HBO’s flagship, the wacky crew from Westeros, it’s Game of Thrones. We’ll be spending a large portion of the show this week talking about the sixth season, which airs this coming Sunday. That means a breakdown of what we think is coming this season, including an investigation of some of our favorite characters, as well as our theories, rumors about this being the “best season ever,” and even exploring HBO’s fears of what exactly will happen once the show finally wraps in the coming years.

Fittingly, along with our Game of Thrones extravaganza, we’ll also be discussing (spoiler alert) our rules on spoiler alerts this week. We’ve heard about some fears that our show may offer too many of them, so we want to lay out some definitive rules so that all may feel welcome here at Between the Streams, without fear of ruining the new hotness. While we definitely strive to keep you informed, first and foremost is our desire to keep you happy, so we’ll be working on making sure all are welcome. That being said, there is a statute of limitations that we have to lay out — you can only have so much time, otherwise, well, we couldn’t talk about anything. Tune in today to find out our rules, as well as our drinking game that connects to the subject.

Finally, we’ll also be discussing a few other matters outside of Westeros this week, including Matt Damon’s dashing return to the Jason Bourne franchise and more, so tune in, and be sure to follow us on Stitcher, iTunes, and Facebook live.

Why The Last Ronin could be the best TMNT movie ever made

The Last Ronin wields the weapons of his fallen brothers.

Four decades ago, Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird unleashed their independent comic book series, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and took the industry by storm. Eastman and Laird’s Mirage Studios pulled off a feat that few other comic book companies in the 1980s were able to match. The success of the comic allowed the TMNT to cross over into an animated series in 1987, which only made the Turtles more popular. Toy lines, action figures, video games, and all manner of merchandise followed before Turtlemania reached its high point in 1990 with the first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie.

In a way, it’s been all downhill from there. The Turtles’ popularity has waxed and waned over the last 40 years, but they’ve never quite recaptured the frenzy of Turtlemania. Even the most recent animated movie, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, managed to earn only $180.5 million worldwide. Mutant Mayhem received good reviews, but those aren’t the kind of numbers that scream box office hit.

If you have to watch one Disney+ movie this April, stream this one

An imagined underwater alien civilization in Aliens of the Deep.

It would be understandable if Disney+ subscribers feel a little jealous of Hulu in April. That's because the new additions to Hulu include The Big Lebowski, The Fifth Element, Hellboy, Ocean's 11, Jumanji: The Next Level, and even Wonder Woman. The only major Disney+ movie to debut in April was Wish. For families with kids or animation lovers, Wish might be enough. But when picking the one movie to watch on Disney+ in April, we decided to dive a little deeper into the streaming catalog. That's how we settled on our choice for the one Disney+ movie that you have to watch this month: Aliens of the Deep.

Between the premiere of Titanic in 1997 and Avatar in 2009, director James Cameron threw himself into the realm of underwater exploration and directed or co-directed two documentary films. Cameron's first documentary, Ghosts of the Abyss, is not on Disney+. But Aliens of the Deep has a permanent home here. This movie was originally an IMAX release and it was filmed in IMAX 3D. The streaming experience may not be able to replicate that, but Aliens of the Deep is still visually dazzling even in 2D. And now, we'll share the three reasons why you should watch Aliens of the Deep this month.
It's one of James Cameron's passion projects

Everything you need to know about Umbrella Academy season 4

The cast of The Umbrella Academy stands together in the main room of the family mansion.

More than a year ago, Netflix announced that its superhero series The Umbrella Academy would be returning for a fourth and final season. It's one of the best shows on Netflix, and has been consistently inventive throughout its run on the streaming service. The show first premiered in 2019, and is adapted from a comic book series of the same name. Season 3 ended on a pretty suspenseful cliffhanger, so fans of the show were undoubtedly pleased with the news that the show would be back for one more rodeo.

If you're looking forward to the show's fourth and final season, you're not alone. Here's everything we know about the upcoming season, including who will be returning, how many episodes i will have and when it's coming out.
