Choosing the right actors for a show is a skill, but it’s hard to predict how long a show will last. Sometimes actors leave early on, and other times they leave later in the series. This can cause problems for the remaining cast and create plot holes the writers have to fix. Occasionally, a show never recovers when a cast member leaves.
I’m so excited to share that XO, Kitty is absolutely crushing it on Netflix! According to FlixPatrol, it’s officially the most-watched show globally right now. It’s number one in so many places – Argentina, Brazil, Canada, France, the UK, and even here in the United States! It’s amazing to see how quickly it’s become a hit, taking the top spot just one day after its return. I knew everyone would love it!
At just over two and a half hours, the movie Project Hail Mary has a typical length for today’s films. However, directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller recently shared on the Happy Sad Confused podcast that their first version was nearly four hours long! They showed it to audiences several times, hoping to keep the longer runtime, but were repeatedly told to cut it down – and it was likely a good decision. Still, given how much footage ended up being removed, I’m surprised a specific scene wasn’t also cut.
With the Super Mario movie universe growing, fans are wondering who should play Wario. Charlie Day, who plays Luigi, thinks Danny DeVito would be perfect for the role. He told Screenrant that DeVito’s voice acting experience – including voicing The Lorax in five different languages – makes him a great fit. Day even imagines a … Read more
Much of The Expanse‘s popularity comes from the books it’s based on. The series, written by James S.A. Corey (a pen name for Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck), is a captivating read, and the authors were also closely involved in making the TV show. Now that The Expanse has finished its six seasons on Prime Video, Abraham and Franck are working on another adaptation with Amazon. This time, it’s a TV series based on their Captive’s War books, which Amazon acquired on November 21, 2024. Though The Expanse was nearly perfect, this new Prime Video series has a chance to fix one significant problem from the start.
Although the expiring content encourages subscribers to binge-watch, it also means fresh titles are added regularly. Netflix offers both classic movies and brand-new releases, plus a growing library of award-winning original films.
Seinfeld revolutionized the sitcom format. Before shows like The Sopranos popularized complex, flawed characters, Seinfeld made audiences adore a group of hilariously awful New Yorkers. The show followed these four selfish characters as they constantly misled, sabotaged, and mistreated others, and their humor made us strangely fond of them.
The final chapter of Chainsaw Man was a surprise to everyone, and left many fans disappointed. After Chapter 231 was released, it was announced that the very next chapter would be the last for the popular manga. This sudden ending is unusual for manga these days, especially considering how the Attack on Titan manga concluded.
As a horror fan, I have to say Child’s Play really set the stage for killer doll movies. Seeing young Andy Barclay (Alex Vincent) tormented by Chucky (voiced brilliantly by Brad Dourif), a doll possessed by the spirit of a serial killer, was truly terrifying. It launched a whole franchise – though honestly, let’s just pretend the 2019 remake never happened. But what really surprised me was the Chucky TV series that premiered in October 2021. It somehow managed to be even more unsettling and frightening than the original films, and that’s saying something!
Some of the most popular shows on Prime Video include The Expanse, Fleabag, The Boys, and Reacher. However, many other excellent shows haven’t gotten the attention they deserve, including Modern Love. While Modern Love has expanded into an international series, it remains one of Prime Video’s most overlooked gems.
