Created by René Echevarria and Travis Beacham, Carnival Row is a fantasy series that first aired on August 30, 2019. The eight-episode first season tells the story of mythical creatures struggling to survive as refugees in a human world. With a Victorian setting and themes that resonate with current events, the show tackles difficult issues like immigration, prejudice, and social inequality. Its exploration of these topics feels particularly relevant today, making it a worthwhile watch.

Adam Sandler had a unique response when asked about phrases fans shout at him. While Dwayne Johnson often hears “you’re welcome” and Jeremy Allen White gets “yes, chef,” Sandler surprisingly revealed he frequently hears an insult his character, Happy Gilmore, receives in the movie. It’s not a compliment or famous line, but something fans actually yell at him a lot.

A lot of the criticism stemmed from fans wanting to see Zack Snyder’s original ideas for the DC Universe come to life. This led to questions about whether he could be involved in the new DC Universe, especially since it’s planned to include more mature, R-rated films – a style Snyder is known for. While it’s still unclear what will happen, one movie offers a good look at how Snyder’s vision could potentially fit in.

The new book, Superman: The Art and Making of the Film, features an introduction by director James Gunn explaining his vision for the movie. Gunn draws inspiration from classic Superman comics, but also acknowledges the filmmakers who came before him. He specifically credits Zack Snyder’s 2013 film, Man of Steel, as a major influence, stating that he “adored” it. In the book’s introduction, Gunn details the many creators whose work informed his approach to the film.

In an interview with The New York Times, author Clarke stated she’s done writing fantasy novels, jokingly adding that she’ll likely never write about dragons again. She said, “You’re highly unlikely to see me get on a dragon, or even in the same frame as a dragon, ever again.”

Often, even beloved movies gain deeper meaning as we get older, and some actually improve with time. Some filmmakers intentionally create stories that will resonate for generations, while others simply benefit from the fact that life experience helps us appreciate the subtle details and complexities of a film. This means there are plenty of movies we can revisit again and again and still enjoy.

An exciting new project is the upcoming Mister Miracle series, inspired by the popular comic book by Tom King and Mitch Gerads. This animated series will focus on DC’s New Gods, including the powerful villain Darkseid. Often considered DC’s equivalent to Marvel’s Thanos, Darkseid’s appearance in any DC project is significant, as he’s one of their most iconic and formidable foes.

As a huge fan, it’s amazing how relevant WarGames still is today, especially with all the talk about AI and how much we rely on technology. It’s not your typical movie with a bad guy trying to destroy everything. What really gets me is that it’s about systems and protocols working as intended – and that being the problem! It shows how a catastrophe can happen simply because the machines are doing exactly what they were built to do. Even after forty-three years, Hollywood is still trying to capture what this movie did – it was way ahead of its time in realizing that the most terrifying part of war isn’t the weapons themselves, but the systems designed to use them.

During the Golden Globes, Nikki Glaser made a playful joke about Michael B. Jordan’s role in Sinners, where he plays twin brothers. She said seeing him in the film made her “Nikki B. Jerkin’,” a play on his name. A clip of Glaser’s joke—including Jordan’s reaction and a moment of his mother, Donna, taking a drink—was shown when he appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live!. Kimmel then asked Jordan if his mother ever feels awkward when women openly express their attraction to him, and Jordan responded:
