Little Lucha and The Big Deal is Finally Streaming for that Front Row Experience!

An underdog wrestling tale steps into the spotlight as Little Lucha and The Big Deal begins streaming online. Blending 80s ring theatrics with heartfelt indie storytelling, the short celebrates creative struggle, partnership, and the fight to keep a dream alive.

Filmmakers Scarlet Moreno and Josh Stifter are stepping back into the ring as their short film, Little Lucha and the Big Deal, is finally available online. My review can be read here, and it’s a fun nostalgic romp to acknowledge the years when wrestling was more than an escape. It’s a way to recognize what goes on behind the ring. This short film that has lots of hear is now streaming exclusively on GeekTyrant.com (and Vimeo). We also have it linked to watch from the comfort of this post too.

Co-directed by and starring this duo, the short is a larger-than-life love letter to 80s era professional wrestling. The story follows aspiring superstar Little Lucha and his partner The Big Deal, two underdog performers chasing glory inside the ring while wrestling with the realities of life beyond the ropes. It’s a tale built on body slams, big dreams, and the emotional toll that comes with refusing to quit.

“Little Lucha and The Big Deal is one of the most heartfelt films I’ve been a part of creating,” said Moreno. “It’s got an ‘art mirrors life’ aspect for me as it’s a story of two people, nearly at the end of their ropes, doing everything in their power to make a dream come true. And what artist or creative doesn’t know that feeling?”

Unleashing Colum Eastwood’s The Morrigan. Just Who Is This Phantom Queen?

A slow-burn folk horror with teeth, The Morrigan reframes the goddess as something older and sharper than pop culture’s “wicked sorceress” shortcut. Through a mother and daughter caught in a modern system built to drain women dry, the film turns possession into sovereignty, and rebellion into something sacred and brutal.

The worship of the Morrígan is nearly as old as time, dating back to roughly 3000 BC. In terms of raw elemental power, she rivals a force like Gaia, the very breath and blood of the land itself. Yet, history has been unkind to her. In Irish lore, she was a terrifyingly complex sovereign; in modern literature, her role was flattened to fit the needs of the “wicked sorceress” trope. While pop culture often lazily grafts her onto Arthurian legend, those who hold The Mists of Avalon as the best may need to head back to school to “unlearn” the sanitized version of the goddess they’ve been sold.

Colum Eastwood’s expansion of his short film proves he’s done the homework. He frames the Morrígan not as a simple adversary, but as a goddess of death, regeneration, and rebirth. This is the core belief of Fiona (Saffron Burrows), a woman battling a modern world designed to “steal a lady’s thunder.” The film’s strongest thematic tissue lies in the parallel between the ancient and the modern: Fiona is reeling from a husband who has abandoned her and their daughter, Lily (Emily Flain), while being professionally bled dry by Professor Jonathan Horner (Jonathan Forbes). He is a leech who steals from his TAs while the world turns a blind eye.

The Chaos! The Cosmic Horror! Lovecraftian Videogames That’s Coming in 2026

Cosmic horror and videogames should be natural companions, yet truly unsettling Lovecraftian experiences remain rare. From investigative dread beneath the sea to dream logic, flooded cities, and shared paranoia, these upcoming titles for 2026 show how developers are finally learning how to let the unknown breathe.

Call of Cthulhu Cosmic Horror or Land Line? Every year, it’s safe to say that some videogame developer has an idea to extend the Lovecraftian universe to the electronic realm. A lot has changed since the release of a version of Call of Cthulhu. These days, there’s a different product worth noting, and as for whether Howard would approve of the type of cosmic horror built, he’d balk and say the Mi-go aren’t as like-minded. They’d rather interface an actual mind to technology rather than vice versa. However, for the rest of humanity, they have the pleasure to step into the shoes of imagined characters to take on these dreaded forces of cosmic horror, and with lots of luck, maybe survive! This list chooses to lean on the side of

Although there has not been many virtual reality games made to summon dread, you’d think there’d be more products. Part of the problem is with the nature of each tale, it’s more about existentialism rather than surviving the night. Although Dagon: by H.P. Lovecraft by Bit Golem included a VR mode that let you stand inside the narration of the short story, the player’s role is more like bearing witness to than being part of a game. It nailed atmosphere and scale, but stopped short of interactivity, which kept it firmly in “experience” territory.

But until more products are firmly imagined, players can investigate these upcoming releases:

Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss

(April 16, 2026)

Cthulhu The Cosmic Abyss
This first-person game developed by Big Bad Wolf Studio looks designed for today’s generation of consoles. It’s the most ambitious to date because here, players assume the role of a special agent sent to investigate the many deaths occurring at sea. The reason for the extra computer power is the use of AI in this engine. Here, you’ll explore the sunken city of R’lyeh with the help of machine learning to make sense of it all.

As for whether reality will cause this agent to go mad as well, that’s tough to say. In what makes this one stand out is its fastidious worldbuilding and emotional stakes — it doesn’t just show you monsters, it shows you how much your own choices can twist you. Watchlists are already active on storefronts like Steam and PlayStation, so you can track updates and demos ahead of launch.

Track this game — follow the project’s updates on its Kickstarter or social feeds.

Stranger Things. The Full Series in Review

After a long rewatch of Stranger Things, I look at what worked and what did not when creating the threat that would manifest in the small town of Hawkins. Thankfully, for those in the know, no foothold was made, but is this truly the end?

When Stranger Things first arrived on Netflix, it began with something wonderfully small. It seemed to be simply about a group of kids playing a game of Dungeons and Dragons, and not expecting that world to manifest around them! After the sudden absence of Will (Noah Schnapp), they had to learn how to become heroes for real. Even though the adults didn’t believe what they’ve encountered is real, what they managed to do was the impossible: to show that dangers lurk in every corner. The shadows are alive, and the necrophagous shadows, well….

From that moment, the series evolved naturally from childhood rituals into becoming adults. As for the fantasy characters they wanted to become, all the visual motifs (including a garbage can lid modified to become a shield) came into place. And the monsters they had to face weren’t just creatures. They were metaphors to something greater shaped by the kids’ references to concepts and entities from this role playing world. Some worked, and others did not, but overall, unless the viewer was in the know, the tie-ins were more than surface level references.

Lights, Pencil, The Fable Manga Build Roguelike… in Action! A Playful Mash-Up in Mixed Genres.

The Fable Manga Build Roguelike is a fresh sense of style, turning every encounter into a right-to-left comic page that springs to life. It’s ambitious, clever, and an intriguing experiment for fans of the long-running series.

Mono Entertainment & Kodansha
PC and Nintendo Switch

Instead of traditional turn-based combat or flashy real-time brawls, The Fable Manga Build Roguelike hands you a very different way to stage a fight. You’re not pressing attack buttons; you’re making a comic. Each action is defined by a randomized manga panel you must arrange, and the layout flows right to left like an authentic Japanese graphic novel. When the page goes live, the game animates those panels and decides the outcome.

It’s clever, and best appreciated on a big screen. My only regret during playtesting was requesting the Nintendo Switch code first. This isn’t a small-screen experience; after activation issues, shifting to the Steam version became necessary. Unless the handheld is attached to an adapter for a big screen, enjoying the art is like squinting to appreciate the details.

Ultimate Winter Crossover Transforms Memories of Another Sky in Another Eden

Memories of Another Sky brings Final Fantasy IX into Another Eden for a nostalgic winter crossover filled with new mechanics, classic callbacks, and a generous Chronos Stone celebration.

Another Eden Memories of Another Sky Wright Flyer Studios is crossing the streams and no, that is not a Ghostbuster reference. Instead, this game developer is bringing Final Fantasy IX into its sprawling, time-twisting universe for the new Another Eden Memories of Another Sky event. This crossover will launch on Wednesday, Dec. 3 PST / Thursday, Dec. 4 JST / Thursday, Dec. 4 UTC.

If you love sprawling JRPG epics filled with time-travel and an exciting soundtrack, this latest popular game might just be your next obsession. The similiarities with the other IP isn’t because the themes are similiar, but it instead honours. Here, players become Aldo, whose life shatters when his sister disappears and a mysterious rift drags him across centuries. From ancient kingdoms to distant futures, he has to reclaim fate. This world is created by Masato Kato (of Chrono Trigger and Xenogears fame).

With this world to be soon bridged, players can recruit Zidane, Vivi, Garnet, and Steiner as fully playable characters, and the event is available across Steam on PC, iOS, and Android.

From the Press Release:

Embrace nostalgia with new mechanics paying homage to Final Fantasy IX. Equip new Support Abilities to Zidane, Garnet, Vivi, and Steiner. Equip them with Magic Stones to unleash their various effects. Experiment with Synthesis; combine special equipment with specific items to create more powerful equipment. Search for Synthesists in towns and dungeons.
