The cast of 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? Season 9 is finally having its tell-all reunion, and TLC put them all together in one house to create more drama. Though the house setting was interesting, the biggest moment came when the tell-all actually began. As the season nears its end, TLC surprisingly announced that Tigerlily and Adnan Abdelfattah wouldn’t be participating. TLC hasn’t explained why, but there’s speculation about the reason for their exclusion.

This story takes place 24 years before the events of The Hunger Games, making it both a prequel to the original four movies and a continuation of the 2023 film, The Hunger Games: A Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. The film will show us younger versions of characters we’ve already met, like Effie Trinket, who was previously played by Elizabeth Banks and will be portrayed by Fanning in this new installment.

The show’s unique appeal comes from its surprising twist on horror tropes. While most scary stories show transformation ruining relationships, Sheila’s condition actually improves hers. Her transformation frees her from feeling stifled, boosts her confidence, and strangely brings her and Joel closer. Although confused, Joel fully commits to supporting her, seeing her condition not as a problem, but as a part of who she is. Together, they handle the challenges – like covering up murders and dealing with unusual cravings – with surprising empathy and teamwork, which is almost heartwarming. The show playfully suggests that a marriage built on cannibalism is the healthiest on television, using the idea of the ‘monster’ to poke fun at the unrealistic expectations of suburban life. Underneath all the blood and gore, Santa Clarita Diet offers a surprisingly modern and positive portrayal of a partnership built on honesty, equality, and shared growth.

George R.R. Martin is often criticized for the delay of The Winds of Winter, but considering the huge cast of characters in his world, it’s not surprising it’s taking so long. In contrast, the Game of Thrones TV series had too few characters, which ultimately led to a simplified ending that lacked the intricate political maneuvering that defines Martin’s books. Each character removed from the story created a ripple effect, and one character in particular is central to a key storyline in the books.

Science fiction frequently examines the forces that unite and separate us. Many great sci-fi TV shows use alien cultures to highlight our commonalities, demonstrating that we often have more in common than we realize. Some shows, like The Twilight Zone, even flip this idea, portraying humans as the outsiders, suggesting that what seems ‘alien’ depends on how you look at things.

Forbes reports that Superman has earned DC Studios over $100 million in profit, and is expected to reach around $150 million worldwide by the end of the year.

Tom Hanks was recently on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert to discuss his new play, This World of Tomorrow. During the interview, the Forrest Gump star reminisced about the beginnings of Toy Story, revealing that the very first version of the movie was initially considered a failure. When Colbert noted the film’s 30th anniversary, Hanks clarified that it had actually been longer than 30 years since they started working on it, as the initial cut was scrapped and they had to begin again.

I was really excited to see the movie Goya’s Ghosts when I learned it starred two incredible actors, Stellan Skarsgard and Javier Bardem, so I watched it right away!

I was thrilled to hear that Season 4 of The Traitors finally has a release date, and that excitement increased when I saw who was cast. Alan Cumming, the show’s wonderful host, is always a highlight, but I’m especially eager to talk about a familiar face from Big Brother and how quickly we’ll get the new episodes.

Chapter 10 of Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo, titled “Majority Vote,” returns the story to Earth and concludes the flashback about Maru and Cross’s childhood.
