The TV series Mayor of Kingstown has finished airing for 2025. While the third season ended on a cliffhanger, the fourth season concluded with a somewhat hopeful scene. True to the show’s tone, the ending was still intense and disturbing, but it ended with a touching moment between Mike (Jeremy Renner) and Kyle (Taylor Handley). Interestingly, Renner actually made up that scene on the spot, which the cast revealed during a discussion about the finale.

Marvel Studios explained the story behind Johnny Storm’s signature move of creating a “4” in the sky with his flames in the official art book for The Fantastic Four: First Steps. According to the studio, Joseph Quinn’s version of the hero does it to get the attention of the other Fantastic Four members, likely as a signal for help.

It’s no surprise that Chevy Chase had conflicts with his co-stars – it’s a well-known pattern. Steve Martin, his former co-star from Amigo, also didn’t participate in a recent documentary about Chase. However, the tension Chase had with the cast of Community has become a central part of his story, especially since he left the show in 2012 after reportedly walking off the set multiple times. Reports indicate clashes arose from racially insensitive jokes and comments directed at and about Donald Glover. Ultimately, his character, Pierce Hawthorne, was written off the show in season 5. When asked about his reputation for difficult behavior in 2022, Chase responded, “I don’t care. I am who I am, and I like who I am.” He added that he’s thought about it a lot and simply doesn’t regret his actions.

Born in Paris in 1934, Brigitte Bardot started her career as a model in 1949 and soon transitioned into acting. She first met director Roger Vadim while auditioning for his film, Les Lauriers sont coupés. Though she didn’t get the part, Vadim personally called to deliver the news, and a romantic relationship blossomed. Bardot was just 15 years old, while Vadim was 22, and they later married when she turned 18.

I’m really excited for January 9th! Netflix is dropping two new movies that day – I’ve been hearing buzz about Stone Cold Fox, which is especially cool because it’s Sophie Tabet’s first time directing a feature film. They’re also releasing a new adaptation of People We Meet On Vacation, so it’s going to be a good start to the year for movie lovers like me!

Despite competition from new releases like Anaconda and the wider release of Marty Supreme, the sci-fi hit continued to perform incredibly well in its second weekend in theaters, experiencing only a small drop in ticket sales compared to its opening. See the complete top ten films below, and check back for a more detailed breakdown.

This is presumably a replica of the famous bike from Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure, which TopMob noted sold for auction back in 2014 for $36,600 on eBay. Kourtney Kardashian posted a photo of the bike to her Instagram Stories and was obviously thrilled to have it in her possession. Check out the post, which includes a thank you message:

While Nicholas Cage’s role in Into the Spider-Verse has generated buzz, he isn’t the only familiar face joining the live-action Spider-Noir series. A total of four actors who have previously appeared in Marvel projects – including those both inside and outside the main Marvel Cinematic Universe – have been cast.

Timothée Chalamet, known for his role in Call Me by Your Name, shared a birthday post on Instagram Sunday. He included several photos, including childhood snapshots – some even showed him playing soccer! In a humorous caption, he thanked fans for their birthday wishes and playfully referred to himself as “Uncle TimmyTim.” You can see the post below.

I have to be honest, despite Neil Diamond having written some fantastic songs, I really dislike “Sweet Caroline.” It genuinely bothers me – I can’t stand it when it comes on. Everyone else seems to love singing along, but I immediately want to escape the situation. It’s not just the song itself, but the whole experience, and honestly, it doesn’t help that it’s so closely associated with the Red Sox.
