Film experts would include Rob Reiner’s 1984 film, This Is Spinal Tap, in his impressive body of work. Largely created through improvisation with stars Michael McKean, Christopher Guest, and Harry Shearer, it helped launch Guest’s career in mockumentaries and indirectly inspired sitcoms like The Office, Parks and Recreation, Modern Family, and Abbott Elementary. Reiner didn’t just direct; he helped build careers. As a co-founder of Castle Rock Pictures—named after the town in Stand by Me, famous from Stephen King stories—he co-produced films like Whit Stillman’s Barcelona and The Last Days of Disco; Richard Linklater’s Before trilogy; Christopher Guest’s Waiting for Guffman, Best in Show, and A Mighty Wind; and Kenneth Branagh’s four-hour version of Hamlet. He also co-produced further Stephen King adaptations, including The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile. Reiner’s own films, written by renowned screenwriters like Nora Ephron, William Goldman, and Aaron Sorkin, are filled with memorable lines that have become part of popular culture: “I’ll have what she’s having,” “I’m your No. 1 fan,” “You can’t handle the truth!” “As you wish,” and the iconic “These go to 11.”

Ever since “Wake Up Dead Man” premiered on Netflix, people online have been praising Glenn Close’s acting and suggesting she should be nominated for an Oscar. Here’s a look at some of the comments.

I was happy to see Heated Rivalry offer LGBTQ+ representation with its steamy content, and it’s definitely been getting attention for its intimate scenes. While Sean Avery, a former hockey player, hoped the show would encourage closeted athletes to come out, actor Luc McGillis doesn’t share that view. He recently explained his perspective in an interview with Pink News, stating:

Since the original The Twilight Zone aired, there have been three attempts to remake it, with mixed results. While each new series has its fans, none have quite lived up to the impact of the first one. Perhaps we’re searching for something different than a direct continuation of The Twilight Zone.

In a recent conversation with CBR, showrunner Safran shared that the team pushed back the release of “Lanterns” to ensure it premieres and is marketed when the time is right.

Following ‘Avengers: Doomsday,’ which is scheduled for release in December 2026, Marvel will release ‘Avengers: Secret Wars’ in 2027. Both films are directed by Joe and Anthony Russo, known collectively as the Russo Brothers. ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ is currently undergoing post-production.

The themes explored in the first season of Fallout return in the second, which maintains the same distinctive retro-futuristic style but features a more complex and expanding storyline. This season will be released one episode per week, a change Prime Video also made with The Boys after its successful first season – a promising sign for continued discussion around Fallout. This means we’ll have almost two months to follow the show’s take on New Vegas, grapple with our complicated feelings about the Ghoul, and wonder if Lucy will return to her vault or if Maximus will escape his power armor. While I’ve seen the first six of the eight episodes and have a sense of the season’s main goals, it’s still unclear how they fit into the bigger picture. We’ll have to wait until the finale on February 4th to get all the answers, but here are three key questions that the new season raises.

Katherine LaNasa returns as Dana Evans alongside Emmy winners Wyle and Hatosy, and her character is facing even more challenges this season. Tracy Ifeachor, who played Dr. Heather Collins, won’t be back, and neither the show nor Ifeachor have explained why. Season two of The Pitt begins January 8, nearly a year after the first season’s premiere on January 9, 2025. Fans are already wondering who Dr. Robby will focus on now!

Marvel Studios had its lowest-grossing year at the box office in recent years, according to data from The Numbers. As of now, their worldwide earnings for 2025 total $1.32 billion.
