According to Nolan, modern comic book stories, from Marvel to DC and beyond, are heavily influenced by the ancient Greek epics traditionally attributed to Homer. He points out that we don’t even know if Homer was a real person, suggesting he was essentially the George Lucas – a foundational creator – of his era.
Apple TV is known for hits like the sci-fi thriller Severance and the comedies Ted Lasso and The Studio. But the platform now offers a much wider range of shows, with something for everyone.

The new film Tony only offers a glimpse into the life of Anthony Bourdain, and that makes sense given how complex and influential he was. Directed by Matt Johnson and starring Dominic Sessa as the young Bourdain, the movie focuses on a summer he spent in Provincetown when he was 19. It portrays him as a bit of a troublemaker working in a kitchen with Leo Woodall and Stavros Halkias, while Emilia Jones plays a voice of reason urging him to behave. The film shows how, under the guidance of a seasoned chef (played by Antonio Banderas), Bourdain begins to find his footing. Expect plenty of seafood and youthful energy! While biopics can sometimes be predictable, director Matt Johnson’s previous film, Blackberry, was surprisingly engaging, suggesting Tony might be a worthwhile look at the chef’s early life.

Okay, so season 3 of Euphoria is really dividing people – a lot of fans aren’t loving it, and honestly, it’s making me wonder if Zendaya will win her third Emmy. I mean, her performance as Rue has been incredible, earning her two Emmys already. Everyone was predicting she’d easily win again this year, but now? It’s not so clear anymore. It’s a shame, because she deserves all the accolades, but the reaction to this season is definitely throwing a wrench into things.
Maksim Chmerkovskiy, a three-time champion, has been a part of the show since its second season, partnering with celebrities like Gabby Windey, Phaedra Parks, and Alix Earle. Last season, he and Earle finished as runners-up to Carson and Robert Irwin. Carson’s win in 2026 was her first in over ten years, following her 2014 victory with current Dancing with the Stars host Alfonso Ribeiro. Val Sosa quickly made an impact as a newer professional, forming a close connection with his partner, Anna Delvey, even outside the competition – she even let him decorate her ankle monitor before they appeared in a New York Fashion Week show! Sosa, who placed third last season, considered his reality TV breakthrough moment to be their elimination, which unexpectedly led to him becoming the top trending topic on Twitter, turning what could have been a disappointing day into one of the best of his life.
You know, people always ask me when I felt like I’d ‘made it’ in the industry. Honestly, I don’t think I have yet! It’s a constant journey, and I’m still pushing forward, working hard to reach my goals. I believe we’ll get there eventually, though.
“Wow, you really want this, Michael,” said O’Clery.
People often ask when I felt successful. I see myself as a chef first, even though I also appear on TV. But I don’t believe you should ever feel like you’ve ‘made it.’ Just like with my cooking, I’m always learning and improving. Each TV opportunity simply opens doors to new ones, and I’m enjoying the journey.
