I just finished watching this really interesting coming-of-age story about a young woman named Emily, played brilliantly by Zola Grimmer. She’s haunted by a tragic accident – she accidentally hit a little girl with her car, and the movie explores how that’s shaped her feelings about guilt and taking responsibility. The way they reveal this is so unique – it happens during a super awkward and darkly funny game of Truth or Dare. Seriously, imagine dropping ‘I killed a kid once’ into that – it completely changes everything!

I’m so excited to share that Dynamic Duo is going to feature artwork from Jock, who’s been amazing me and comic fans for over 25 years! He actually got his start with Judge Dredd in 2000 AD, but a lot of us Batman fans probably know him best from his work on the DC Black series Batman: One Dark Knight. He also collaborated with Scott Snyder on some incredible runs like Detective Comics, The Batman Who Laughs, and All-Star Batman – I’ll share a more complete list of his work later, but trust me, you’re in for a treat!

Some considered his opinions on horror movies to be snobbish, but he genuinely loved and appreciated the genre. When talking about Tim Burton’s Sleepy Hollow, he found himself thinking about Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Francis Ford Coppola’s Dracula film was visually stunning, and he pointed out that Sleepy Hollow achieved a similar level of visual excellence. The film’s distinctive and atmospheric look is a major reason people enjoy it, showcasing Burton’s talent for creating immersive, Gothic worlds.

Matthew Belloni of Puck reports that the two-hour finale of Stranger Things will likely premiere in AMC and other movie theaters on New Year’s Eve, the same day it’s released on Netflix. While the deal isn’t officially finalized yet, sources say it’s moving forward. If confirmed, this would give the popular show a grand send-off on the big screen, satisfying fans and fulfilling a wish of the show’s creators, Matt and Ross Duffer. They recently told Variety that the final episode should be seen in theaters.

As a critic, I always felt sorry for Chuck Cunningham on ‘Happy Days.’ Initially, he was set up as the dependable older brother to Richie, but that role quickly vanished. You see, a cool, leather-jacketed newcomer, Fonzie, stole the show and became the one Richie turned to for guidance. Frankly, with Fonzie around, Chuck just wasn’t needed. And beyond being a former college basketball player, Chuck didn’t really have much going for him. It’s no surprise they wrote him off the show entirely. It was a bit of a quiet exit, actually – in the 1984 finale, Howard simply mentioned that both his children were now married, as if to say, ‘Oh, and by the way, Chuck’s gone.’

The movie recently did very well with a special sing-along release in theaters, earning $19.2 million and becoming the top film in the US and Canada. Because of this success, Netflix and Sony, the companies behind the film, are planning to continue the story with a possible sequel – potentially titled KPop Demon Hunters – as well as other projects like a TV series and a stage musical.

I was so excited to hear Stéphanie Szostak talk about joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe! She recently told Joe Deckelmeier at ScreenRant what it felt like to be cast in Iron Man 3, the last movie in the original Iron Man series. It clearly meant a lot to her, and it’s awesome to hear her reflect on that experience.

In a recent interview with New Rockstars, James Gunn addressed the possibility of using Darkseid as the main villain for the DC Universe. He explained that while Darkseid is a compelling character, using him right now isn’t the best approach. Gunn noted that Zack Snyder already portrayed Darkseid effectively, and because of the similar role Thanos played in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it feels like a path already taken.

Okay, so about those questions everyone’s been asking? The first one, yeah, that checks out. But after Season 5, Episode 9 – “L.E.S.T.R.” – totally flipped the script on the second one. And honestly, the person who killed Nicky? Seriously, nobody saw that coming. Even knowing who did it, though, the way they found the body… it just doesn’t add up, and leaves you with a ton of questions.

The third season of Shrinking premieres on Apple TV on January 28, 2026, starting with a one-hour-long first episode. The season will consist of eleven episodes, released weekly on Wednesdays, with the final episode airing on April 8. Alongside the show’s main stars, like Jason Segel, Harrison Ford, and Jessica Williams, Jeff Daniels and Michael J. Fox will appear as guests. Brett Goldstein, who also co-created the series and plays Louis Wilson, will be back in a recurring role. Cobie Smulders, known for How I Met Your Mother, will also return after her guest appearance in Season 2.
