Naturally, some fans were wary after Gunn name-dropped a couple of lesser-known favorites during the recent town hall meeting where he and Peter Safran laid out their plans…

Chiliz (CHZ) and Quant (QNT) were two of the most-loved cryptocurrencies in September. Investors who have invested in CHZ this month achieved a 20% gain while a 9.25% increase for QNT – but that’s on top of over 100% gains from the lows. Our analysts point to the fact that CHZ sell action looks like bigger plays are leaving and trying to find the next big investment. Adding to the list of this month’s favorites is The Hideaways (HDWY). The token has outshined many crypto majors’ monthly performance after reporting…

Image via A24 This year has been something of a phoenix moment for cinema; when COVID-19 first swept its way through the world, it wasn’t looking too hot for movies, who not only had to deal with theaters getting gutted but also the inability of large creative teams coming together most efficiently.
