Robert Reiner was born on March 6, 1947, in the Bronx, New York, to parents deeply involved in the entertainment industry. His father was a well-known comedian and writer, and his mother was an actor and singer. Given his family background – particularly his father Carl’s successful writing partnership with Mel Brooks on shows like ‘Your Show of Shows’ and ‘The Dick Van Dyke Show,’ as well as their iconic ‘2000 Year Old Man’ recordings – it’s no surprise Robert followed in their footsteps.

Netflix and Warner Bros. are signaling their potential partnership by combining their logos on a dedicated website. The site features images blending iconic characters from both companies – for example, Harry Potter alongside Eleven from Stranger Things – hinting at the exciting possibilities if the deal is finalized.

After the recent conclusion of the IT: Welcome to Derry series, both IT and IT: Chapter Two are now popular on HBO Max globally. In the United States, the 2017 film is currently the most-watched movie on the streaming service, and the 2019 sequel is seventh.

Okay, so The Intouchables was a huge deal – seriously, a massive success with both critics and audiences. I mean, it only cost about $10.8 million to make, but it went on to earn over $426 million worldwide! That’s incredible. Plus, it got a ton of recognition – eight César Award nominations, and Denis Sy actually won Best Actor. They also snagged a BAFTA and Golden Globe nomination, which is pretty amazing.

In Invincible, the word “powerful” has a specific meaning. It refers to a character’s actual strength and abilities, not just their influence or status. For example, Cecil Stedman is very influential, but doesn’t have any superpowers himself. So, when discussing power levels in the series, it’s about how strong someone is, not just how much control they have.

Following the planned separation of Warner Bros. and Discovery Global, Warner Bros. Discovery announced it would be put up for sale. Soon after, a contentious agreement with Netflix for $82.7 billion was revealed. Despite Paramount Skydance’s continued interest, Warner Bros. Discovery is now urging shareholders to reject their offer.

The last season of the original Game of Thrones received a lot of negative feedback from both critics and viewers, leading to continued discussion and requests for more content. In the six years since it ended, the franchise has grown with new shows like House of the Dragon and A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, which explore different parts of the Game of Thrones universe.

Okay, so the Oscar shortlist for 2026 is out, and I’m pretty hyped! Ryan Coogler’s Sinners and Wicked: For Good are leading the pack with nominations in a bunch of categories. Honestly, I was surprised The Fantastic Four: First Steps didn’t even make the cut for Best Visual Effects – everyone was expecting it to be a shoo-in! The VFX shortlist was solid though, with titles like Superman and the newest Wicked movie making the list.

Denis Villeneuve, who later directed Dune, directed Blade Runner 2049 in 2017, a sequel to the original film set three decades later. Harrison Ford reprised his role as Rick Deckard, but the new movie followed a different Blade Runner named K, played by Ryan Gosling. Now, the series continues with another installment, and Ridley Scott is back as an executive producer.

The new series, Welcome to Derry, features a haunting scene before and after the credits that adds a deeper layer of sadness and horror to a moment from It: Chapter Two. Many viewers correctly figured out that the character Ingrid was actually Mrs. Kersh. After witnessing the terrifying Deadlights in Welcome to Derry, she suffers a mental breakdown and is committed to Juniper Hill Asylum for life. The post-credits scene shows events unfolding from her point of view.
