Every Actor Who Has Played Randall Flagg in Stephen King Movies & TV Shows (Including 1 We Never Got To See)

As a huge Stephen King fan, I’ve always been fascinated by Randall Flagg. He pops up in some of King’s biggest stories, most famously in The Stand and The Dark Tower series – where he’s known as the Man in Black or Walter O’Dim. Because those books are so well-loved and important to the horror and fantasy genres, they’ve been made into movies and shows a bunch of times. It’s really interesting to see different actors take on the role of Flagg, and how each team tries to show that mix of incredible power and pure evil that makes him such a compelling villain. It’s a testament to how complex King writes his bad guys!

One of the Best Dystopian Movie Franchises Is Returning to Peacock (& Now’s the Perfect Time To Watch It)

Starting January 14th, all five Hunger Games movies will be available to stream on Peacock. They were previously on HBO Max but were removed at the end of November, so they haven’t been available for streaming until now. This isn’t the first time the films have been on Peacock. The series, based on Suzanne Collins’ novels, takes place in a futuristic, ruined version of the United States called Panem. In this dark world, children are selected from each of Panem’s 12 districts to compete in a televised fight to the death known as the Hunger Games.

Laufey Corrects Photographer Calling Her Megan at Golden Globes

Okay, so, I was losing it when Laufey – Laufey Lín Bing Jónsdóttir, the actual queen – finally appeared on the Golden Globes red carpet this January. She was stunning, seriously, in this incredible orange Balenciaga dress. But honestly? It was driving me crazy that all the photographers kept yelling “Megan!” at her. She had to keep politely correcting them, which, good for her, but UGH, it was just so disrespectful! Like, learn her name, people! It’s Laufey! I was so proud of her for handling it with grace, even though I wanted to yell at them myself.

Derek Hough Makes First Public Appearance Since Welcoming Baby

I was so thrilled to see Derek Hough looking amazing at the Golden Globes just days after he and Hayley Erbert welcomed their little girl, Everley Capri! He always has such great style, and this time he wore a classic black Thom Browne tux, but instead of a bow tie, he had this really cool jeweled button at his throat. It was such a sweet moment seeing him out celebrating, especially so soon after becoming a dad. You can check out photos of all the stars at the Nikki Glaser-hosted event here!

30 Years On, Star Trek’s New Show Reveals An Easter Egg Perfect For Voyager Fans

A funny new clip from the marketing for Star Trek: Starfleet Academy shows Cadets Jay-Den Kraag (Karim Diané) and Caleb Mir (Sandro Rosta) encountering The Doctor (Robert Picardo). The clip is a comedy of errors as The Doctor tries to help the cadets with their unusual issues – one has a parasitic maggot, and the other accidentally swallowed her communication badge. He’s visibly unimpressed with the pair!

Netflix’s Biggest Movie Debuts of 2025 Confirm A Weird Truth About Streaming

It’s easy to assume recent movie successes are simply due to strong marketing or famous actors – and celebrities definitely still draw audiences. However, that doesn’t tell the whole story. Big-budget, highly anticipated films aren’t performing as well as expected, suggesting something else is at play. Looking at the audience data, a clear trend emerges: people aren’t necessarily seeking out new or innovative films. Instead, they’re choosing movies based on familiarity, comfort, and ingrained habits. Let’s explore what this means in more detail.
