Homer is believed to have written *The Odyssey*, an epic poem that continues the story after the events of *The Iliad*. It follows Odysseus, a Greek king, on his ten-year struggle to return home after the Trojan War. Meanwhile, Odysseus’s wife, Penelope, and their son, Telemachus, are dealing with unwanted suitors who assume Odysseus is dead and want to marry Penelope.
Although the film series is popular with a dedicated fanbase, it’s never been a critical darling, and the latest installment continued that trend, earning mixed reactions from both reviewers and viewers. Despite this, the movie quickly became a success after its release on Netflix on October 17th, according to data from FlixPatrol.
Bette Midler discussed the long, 30-year wait between the original *Hocus Pocus* and its first sequel while on Andy Cohen’s *Watch What Happens Live*. She hinted that fans won’t have to wait nearly as long for another installment. “We were always asking Disney for more *Hocus Pocus*,” Midler shared, playfully referencing the film’s huge popularity. “Billions of views – I’d never even heard of that number before!” she joked.
Wow, things got intense for Lala! Just when she’d managed to talk Lara Macy (Claire Berger) out of pursuing the Pedro Hernandez murder case – a huge win for her – she was involved in a terrifying car accident. A young girl ran into the street, and Lala swerved to avoid her, flipping her Jeep. At the end of Season 1, it really looked like Dominguez might not be coming back. Thankfully, she pulled through, but now the show is tackling a familiar storyline, revisiting old ground. It’s a clever move that throws a new spin on things, and I’m really curious to see where it goes!
Michael J. Fox recently published his memoir, *Future Boy*, and shares detailed stories about making the iconic time travel film. However, his personal memories of the DeLorean car itself aren’t as fondly remembered as the movie portrays. As he writes:
As a total cinema and TV buff, I’ve been hooked on *The Diplomat* since it dropped on Netflix in 2023. It’s one of those shows that consistently delivers, with a new season arriving every year. It’s even gotten Emmy nominations, which is fantastic! And the recently released Season 3, which premiered on October 16th, is seriously good – it launched with a 95% ‘Certified Fresh’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes and immediately shot to the top of Netflix’s most-watched list. I highly recommend it!
At New York Comic Con, Laurence Fishburne said he’d be interested in playing Professor Charles Xavier if the X-Men were rebooted into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

The game’s popularity has even led to some fans landing voice acting roles. For example, Peter Serafinowicz voiced a character in *Dark Souls 2* after enthusiastically praising the first game on Twitter. Similarly, Matthew Perry, known from *Friends*, loved one 2008 RPG so much he played it constantly – eventually developing carpal tunnel syndrome!
Saying goodbye to beloved characters is never easy, but the DC Universe has given us some truly memorable endings. The most impactful ones remind us what we loved about these characters and perfectly capture everything they’ve been through. These endings aren’t always cheerful, but they’ve stayed with fans long after the stories concluded.
