Minority Mindset

Apple TV+ announced a new series starring Wyatt Russell, who played a younger version of Lee Shaw in the original show. This spinoff will take place in 1984 and follow Shaw on a secret mission to stop the Soviet Union from deploying a devastating new weapon that could change the course of the Cold War and destroy the United States. Joby Harold, an executive producer on Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, will lead the show as showrunner.

Given that The Rescue follows a typical Western formula and comes from the same creators as Yellowstone, Paramount seems to be exploring other Western stories without Taylor Sheridan. With Sheridan now working with NBCUniversal, it will be interesting to see how audiences who enjoy Yellowstone respond to The Rescue, and whether Paramount will continue making Westerns even without Sheridan involved.

It’s important to remember that these reports are just rumors, but while one source, Richtman, said the movie was well-received, another insider, @Cryptic4KQual – who is usually accurate with trailer and runtime leaks – heard a much more negative reaction. They shared that:

The 1990s were a fantastic time for movies that mixed science fiction and horror, building on the success of classics like Aliens and The Thing. Fans enjoyed creative entries like Hellraiser: Bloodlines, which sent a popular character into space, and John Carpenter’s conclusion to his “Apocalypse Trilogy,” In the Mouth of Madness. Many filmmakers tried to recreate the unsettling, cosmic fear that Carpenter perfected. In 1997, a film starring Sam Neill truly captured that feeling, and includes a single line that perfectly embodies the terror of facing the unknown.

Season 5 Part 1 of Stranger Things is full of great moments, but Will Byers’ story (played by Noah Schnapp) was the most compelling part of the first three episodes.
