I was listening to the “Four Finger Discount” podcast the other day, and they asked a great question about why The Simpsons stopped doing the intro sequence and couch gags this season. Showrunner Matt Selman explained it really clearly – he just wants to make sure every episode has the best possible story! He said they need every minute of the show’s twenty minutes and forty seconds to really do that, and he doesn’t want to sacrifice storytelling for the sake of a quick gag. I totally get that – a great story is always the priority!
I was so excited to see Bruce Willis films doing well on Netflix last week, from April 6th to 12th! Striking Distance actually hit number four worldwide, with a huge 5.9 million views and a total of 10 million hours watched – that’s incredible! And The Fifth Element, a classic sci-fi movie, landed at number nine in the US. What’s really cool is that this was the first week both of these movies made it into Netflix’s top 10. A great week for Bruce Willis fans!

Okay, so the first look at Godzilla Minus Zero is here, and it’s wild! It’s set two years after the last film, and it looks like the Americans are getting involved this time. They’re testing new nukes, which, predictably, causes a whole new level of trouble – things like gravity getting messed up. And get this – Godzilla himself looks a little different, like he’s evolved. But the biggest reveal, and honestly, what got me hyped, was seeing Godzilla heading straight for New York City! Apparently, it’s been decades since he’s been there, and it looks like he’s about to make a huge impact.
Marvel Studios hasn’t released the footage from the event to the public yet, which has disappointed fans, as it was specifically shown to theater owners. While the official trailer isn’t available, descriptions have surfaced detailing the scenes, including a team-up between Thor and Captain America against Doctor Doom, and several first-time interactions between heroes. Interestingly, a quick moment in the Avengers: Doomsday trailer hints at a potential return for Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, five years after her last appearance in Black Widow.
