Catherine Zeta-Jones approached the set as a dedicated professional, eager to discuss her scenes and the details of her role. However, for Brad Pitt and the rest of the star-studded cast – including George Clooney, Matt Damon, Julia Roberts, and Don Cheadle – filming felt more like a pleasant trip to Europe. Pitt later shared in an interview with the Daily Echo, shortly after the movie’s release, that this was the case for almost everyone involved.

This project is a departure for Sherman, leaning into unsettling and deliberately shocking humor – a contrast to her typical work on Saturday Night Live. Given that Yang recently left SNL after the Christmas show, this type of comedy was new territory for him, which is why Sherman valued his feedback so much. She shared with People what he thought, and it apparently gave her exactly the confidence boost she needed.

Like many others, I was instantly captivated, but it wasn’t until I really delved back into the story of the characters in Hawkins that I felt motivated to spend more on LEGO than I usually do. (The festive holiday season certainly helped!) This set also includes a special WSQK Radio Station build with a hidden detail that actually foreshadowed a major reveal about the Upside Down. Let’s examine it in more detail below.

Over time, Prime Video’s crime and action series have consistently proven to be its most popular content. Shows like Reacher have earned both critical acclaim and strong viewership, helping Prime Video stand out from competitors with their high-quality production and captivating storylines.

Originally airing from 2005 to 2012, The Closer centers around Deputy Police Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson as she leads a special unit of the LAPD, first called Priority Homicide and later the Major Crimes Division. The show is known for its compelling stories and helped establish Kyra Sedgwick as a leading actress in crime dramas, and it’s now available to stream on Netflix.

Ryan Condal, a co-creator of the show, recently shared on the podcast The Stuff Dreams Are Made Of that production on the fourth season of House of the Dragon is moving forward well. He said they began working on the new season a couple of months ago and are making significant progress. While working on season four, the team has also started submitting episodes of season three to the network.

Recently, the Russo brothers and Taika Waititi have had the biggest impact on how the hero is portrayed. Waititi especially brought a welcome sense of humor to Thor: Ragnarok. He tried to amplify that humor in Thor: Love and Thunder, but it didn’t quite land, and even Chris Hemsworth felt the character needed a different approach again.

The end of Altered Carbon highlights a growing issue with streaming services like Netflix. Netflix prioritizes how many people watch a show and keeping costs down, even if it means cutting a show before its story is fully told. Despite having plenty of source material and a dedicated fanbase eager for more, Netflix based its decision on data analysis. As a result, Altered Carbon didn’t get a proper conclusion and its potential remained untapped.

You’d think all three Lord of the Rings movies—The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King—would be among the top ten most-watched films on HBO Max, but it’s not quite that straightforward.

Andy Serkis stole every scene he appeared in, thanks to his captivating performance as Klaue, though his role was unfortunately cut short when his character was killed by Killmonger. Interestingly, director Ryan Coogler revealed on the Happy Sad and Confused podcast that he originally intended to include the Marvel character Kraven the Hunter in Black Panther.
