The conclusion of Breaking Bad, with Walt’s purposeful and fitting death, and Jesse’s hopeful escape, felt both satisfying and complete. Walt managed to outsmart his rivals until the very end, culminating in a thrilling final confrontation with Jack’s gang. What truly set the ending apart, though, was how it was expanded upon by the subsequent films El Camino and Better Call Saul, which added even more depth and resonance to the original story.

The history of the Grammy Awards is surprisingly incomplete. Despite current nominees receiving a lot of attention, many incredibly influential musicians – artists who truly defined their time – have never won a competitive Grammy. These artists have sold out stadiums, pioneered musical genres, and continue to inspire today’s biggest stars, but they’ve never been recognized with the industry’s top award.

I have to say, Ratchapoom Boonbunchachoke’s first feature is a fascinating piece of work. It disguises a surprisingly complex political message within a really quirky, over-the-top melodrama. On the surface, it’s about everyday objects suddenly coming to life, but dig a little deeper and you’ll find a sharp critique of modern capitalism. It’s also a moving story about the importance of embracing queer identity, remembering the past, and challenging outdated traditions that prevent progress. It’s a film that really asks us to consider what it means to move forward.

I absolutely loved Henry’s novel when it came out in 2021 – it was such a clever mix of romance, humor, and really thoughtful writing. When Netflix announced they were making a movie, I knew things would have to shift a bit. It’s just that what makes a romantic comedy work in a book isn’t always the same as what works on screen, and getting it right for film takes a different approach.

Matt Duffer, speaking about the making of Stranger Things 5, revealed they started filming before the final episode was fully written. He described it as a nerve-wracking situation, explaining that he and his brother, Ross, along with the entire team, were determined to get the finale right, as it was the most crucial script of the season.

Bill Skarsgård first became internationally known for playing the terrifying villain in the successful 2017 film and its 2019 sequel, both directed by Andy Muschietti. The new prequel series, also co-created by Muschietti, delves into the creature’s history in the 1960s and reveals how it originally came to be. Despite the intriguing concept, Skarsgård was initially unsure about joining the project.

HBO hasn’t released a full trailer for Lanterns yet, but a short clip was shown in their preview of upcoming 2026 shows. Even though the footage was brief, Lanterns is already making history as a DC television series – and it hasn’t even premiered!

Paul Thomas Anderson’s film There Will Be Blood is a stunning Western set in early 1900s California, focusing on a ruthless oilman. Released in 2007, it’s considered one of the best American films of the last quarter-century and features a truly unforgettable closing line.

Mike Flanagan made a name for himself with a string of horror series on Netflix that really redefined the genre. His first show, The Haunting of Hill House, is widely considered one of the greatest adaptations of a horror novel ever, and it still holds up incredibly well on repeat viewings. Despite a couple of less successful shows like The Midnight Club, Flanagan has built a large and dedicated fanbase thanks to his consistently strong work.
