With six main stories, and an additional one woven in between, V/H/S Halloween fills its almost 2-hour length with tales firmly rooted in the Halloween season, ranging from the supernatural to the bizarre. However, aiming for more scope carries some risk, and as one of the longest films in the series, it still grapples with a recent and annoying trend within the franchise – one that could lessen the impact of some of its strongest and scariest segments.

I was listening to the latest episode of Avatar: Braving the Elements, and it was really interesting. Hosts Janet Varney (who voices Korra) and Dante Basco (Zuko) were talking with John Michael Higgins, the voice actor behind the memorable Iknik Blackstone Varrick from The Legend of Korra. They got into how much creative control the production team had over the writing and voice acting. Higgins explained that everything was very carefully scripted, and he said it *had* to be that way. He pointed out that there was a lot of visual detail in the show, and they needed to maintain control over all of it.

As a bit of a social media sleuth and movie buff – I love a good plot twist – I’ve been following this whole Cracker Barrel thing. It’s fascinating, and a little scary. PeakMetrics reported that almost half of the posts related to the boycott seemed to be coming from bots or automated accounts. But here’s where it gets interesting: another firm, Cyabra, put that number much lower, estimating only around 21% of the profiles involved in the logo debate were fake. Apparently, these supposed bots were pushing hashtags like #BoycottCrackerBarrel and #CrackerBarrelHasFallen, and a lot of them were just repeating the same phrases over and over, even directly tagging CEO Julie Felss Masino. It really makes you wonder what’s really going on, doesn’t it? It’s like a real-life thriller!

In a conversation with esportsbets.com, The Godfather shared details about he and his former coworkers visiting strip clubs after finishing performances at house shows, Monday Night Raw, or SmackDown. Most wrestling fans probably wouldn’t be shocked to hear that, considering the character he developed after his time as Papa Shango, but they might be surprised to learn which WWE legend frequently joined him:

I’m not sure why, but I often end up being killed off in roles. I’ve played a good number of villains, though. Naturally, villains usually have to die, unless you’re someone like Dracula. It doesn’t bother me, honestly. I’ve even told them, ‘I’m free for a few weeks, [but then] I have other commitments. Could you write my character’s death in now?’ They always tell me afterwards, ‘Oh, we should have kept you around!’ But, well, it’s too late now.

In a recent interview with MovieWeb, Moss discussed what motivated her to overcome challenges and achieve success repeatedly. While societal expectations have become more flexible, and there’s generally more acceptance of aging actors (Norma Desmond was only 50 in Billy Wilder’s classic film, Sunset Boulevard), the pressure from social media and constant public attention have made this issue very real for many people, not just celebrities. This is why Shell, featuring Kate Hudson as a wellness expert obsessed with staying young, resonates with audiences today.

The plot of Peacemaker Season 2 revolves around a place called the Quantum Unfolding Chamber (QUC). Initially, Auggie Smith used it as a kind of storage room and workspace that could reach into other dimensions. But his son, Christopher, later realized that the doorways inside the QUC could actually transport people to different versions of Earth.

According to a report from Forbes in April 2025, the production of Bridgerton Season 4 experienced some setbacks, which caused a delay in its release. Thankfully, filming for Season 4 finished in June 2025, so an announcement about Bridgerton‘s return to Netflix should be coming soon. Adding to the anticipation, a novel connected to Bridgerton Season 4 is scheduled to be released on January 6, 2026, leading fans to speculate that the new season might also debut in January.

When Amazon Prime Video released The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, Amazon hoped it would be as successful as Game of Thrones. However, the show has become incredibly expensive-a financial burden that keeps taking money away from other projects and restricting what else Amazon can create.

The trailer for Season 2 continues the story after the first season’s finale, where Georgie (Montana Jordan) and Ruben (Jessie Prez) bought the tire shop from Jim McAllister (Will Sasso). It seems Georgie and Ruben will clash on a lot of decisions, starting with the shop’s new name – Ruben quickly dismissed Georgie’s idea of calling it “Dr. Tire.” Fans of The Big Bang Theory will remember that by 2018, that’s the name of Sheldon’s brother’s chain of tire shops, and Georgie is also known as “The Tire King of Texas.” Watch the new trailer for Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage below.
