In his new memoir, *Future Boy*, details the making of the 1985 sci-fi film, and its star frequently stops to express his appreciation for the movie’s dedicated fans. However, the actor explains that intense scrutiny – with people watching the film repeatedly – inevitably leads to the discovery and overanalysis of even minor errors.
Fans hoping for a more satisfying resolution for Barb, the beloved character from Season 1 played by Shannon Purser, will likely be disappointed. During a visit to the set of *Stranger Things* Season 5, Time Magazine saw a realistic recreation of Barb’s body – a dummy covered in black vines (made partly from pool noodles), with purple lips and a large wound on her neck, partially buried in the ground. Surprisingly, the Duffer brothers, the show’s creators, revealed they never fully understood the audience’s strong connection to Barb. As Ross Duffer explained, they often received feedback asking about her fate, but felt the show’s central focus was always on Will Byers.
Kate quickly finds that her new role as Second Lady and Ambassador isn’t much different from her previous life – it’s just a new version of the same demanding situation. Her brief period of enjoyment ends abruptly upon her return from Washington D.C. Trowbridge immediately takes control of her schedule, disrupting important meetings about North Sea oil drilling and Eidra’s potential promotion. He pulls her away right before she was supposed to accompany Eidra to a crucial meeting with Dennison, and all Kate can do is quickly call and advise Eidra to make a good impression on the foreign secretary. Sounds easy enough, right?
Look, I don’t *dislike* Mel, okay? He’s perfectly…fine. He’s the ultimate regular guy – the kind of dude you’d invite to your Super Bowl party without a second thought. He’d probably even sweet-talk the caterer into throwing in an extra sub. But when it comes to really *acting*, to showing some depth and complexity, he just doesn’t quite deliver. Honestly, at this point, if he started openly complaining about the actresses not being the right age, *that* would at least be interesting! I’d be rooting for the women to form a seriously intense, *Yellowjacketsstyle posse and, well, let’s just say Mel might end up on the menu after a good roasting. I just need *something* to grab onto!
CBS said they canceled The Late Show because it wasn’t profitable for the network. While some reports suggested the show was losing around $40 million each year, Jimmy Kimmel recently stated that figure is likely inaccurate. He explained his perspective at the Bloomberg Screentime Conference.

Disney’s *Fantasia* was a bold experiment, combining animation with famous classical music. It first premiered as a special event in thirteen cities across the United States. However, due to a very expensive production and the disruption caused by World War II, the film didn’t earn much money initially. Despite this, *Fantasia* eventually became a huge success, ranking among the top 25 highest-grossing films of all time – even outperforming more recent blockbusters like *Spider-Man: No Way Home* and *Jurassic World* when accounting for inflation.
Getting divorced would finally put an end to the painful and awkward conversations they constantly have, like the ones with Billie about pretending their marriage is tied to their jobs and how often Kate will travel to Washington D.C. It would also prevent unwanted and personal questions about starting a family, like the one Kate endured with a senator eager to connect her with his husband, who supposedly knows all the best schools in London. Eventually, they need to find a way to separate their personal lives from their public duties and stop subjecting themselves to these kinds of intrusive interactions.
This fall, instead of focusing on classic monsters and demons, many TV shows are using supernatural themes to explore real-life horrors. Both Netflix and Peacock released eight-episode series this October that are loosely based on the lives of notorious American serial killers. These shows aim to portray the victims as fully realized people, not just nameless bodies. One example of this is the series *Monster*.
I understand Hal’s sense of obligation and how his years of experience have shaped his thinking. Those things matter. But I’m struggling with why he won’t simply acknowledge the pain this is causing and decline the vice presidency. He claims he won’t accept the position unless she wants him to, and that he’ll follow her wishes, but he must realize Kate won’t ask him to give up such a significant opportunity. It’s a crucial role, especially given the current challenging and risky political climate. He knows it’s hurting her, and yet he seems unable to act.
