Max Minghella Had to Mask His Insecurities to Play Industry’s Tom Ripley

Last Sunday’s episode, the second-to-last of the season, showed Whitney desperately trying – and failing – to find a way out of his situation. He attempted to escape, but his colleagues threatened him. His plan to buy another company to mislead investigators also fell through, even though he gave a passionate speech trying to convince everyone it would work. Meanwhile, his business partner, Henry Muck (played by Kit Harrington), despises him, and Henry’s wife, Yasmin (Marissa Abela), is secretly working to destroy the company from within. Actor Max Minghella, known for his roles in The Handmaid’s Tale and The Social Network, portrays Whitney as completely stunned – he can’t accept that his good fortune has ended, because he’d never considered it luck in the first place. Minghella enjoyed playing Whitney at his lowest point, finding it surprisingly relatable. “I’m much closer to that vulnerable side of Whitney as a person,” he explains, “and it was easy for me to tap into those feelings.”

A Dark Scream Theory Rewrites the Only Movie to Break the 2-Killer Rule

Unlike the other Scream movies, which typically feature two or three killers, Scream 3 initially appears to have only one: Roman Bridger. However, a fan theory called the “Hidden Killer Theory” suggests Roman may have had an unrevealed accomplice, another Ghostface who was never caught and remains at large.

‘Heated Rivalry’ Season 2 Release Window Teased by Creator

The second season of Heated Rivalry is scheduled to premiere in April 2027, coinciding with the release of Rachel Reid’s third book featuring Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov, titled Unrivaled. While Unrivaled was originally planned for a September 2026 release, it has been pushed back to June 2027. Reid announced the delay on Instagram on February 24, 2026, explaining it was due to worsening symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, which she was diagnosed with in 2023—around the same time Tierney contacted her about turning Heated Rivalry into a TV series. Reid stated:

Bridgerton Recap: Life Is Short

Let’s give a big hand to Hannah Dodd – she was fantastic in this episode! The episode opens with the staff preparing the house for mourning, putting up black curtains, removing personal items, and covering mirrors, including a portrait of John and Francesca. We then see Francesca dressed in mourning clothes, clearly heartbroken and looking pale. It’s so sad to watch her! And Michaela is suffering too. Seeing Francesca on the floor, crying and clutching a pillow before the funeral was incredibly emotional, and that was just the beginning of a very intense episode!

Protesters at Scream 7 Premiere Call for ‘Free Palestine’

Some Letterboxd users were annoyed that reviews for Scream 7 were temporarily blocked before the official review release date, but this isn’t a new feature on the platform. Reviews for Project Hail Mary are currently locked as well, and it might be a good idea for Letterboxd to continue this practice to prevent films from being flooded with reviews – both positive and negative – before anyone is officially supposed to see them. Unfortunately, even this measure couldn’t help Scream 7 avoid generally lukewarm reviews, which largely criticize the film’s disjointed story following the departure of its original director and a key star.

Jack Lowden, Why Are You Darcy?

If you’re not familiar with Pride & Prejudice, Mr. Darcy is the story’s proud and brooding hero. He’s incredibly wealthy, earning 10,000 pounds a year, and is initially perceived as arrogant by the novel’s clever heroine, Elizabeth Bennet. Though Jane Austen doesn’t offer detailed physical descriptions, Darcy is known for his impressive height, good looks, and dignified presence. However, Elizabeth isn’t impressed! They immediately clash, but through a series of events and miscommunications, they eventually fall in love. Meanwhile, Elizabeth’s kind but less intellectual older sister, Jane, and Darcy’s amiable friend, Mr. Bingley, have a smoother path to romance, except when Darcy interferes, wrongly believing Jane and her sisters are only interested in Bingley’s money.

Well, That Sucks

Kyle’s elimination was a shock to both those playing the game with him and viewers at home. As a previous winner returning for Survivor 50, he seemed to be in a very strong position, with solid alliances formed with Genevieve, Colby, and Stephenie – all of whom are now vulnerable without his support. It’s disappointing to see a promising player, who was clearly a threat, voted out so early, and it’s likely his departure will cast a shadow over the rest of the season.

‘He Is Basically the Goop That’s Inside a Lava Lamp’

I’ve been hearing so many wild things about Nate Fleming – people online call him everything from a Muppet to a prophet! It’s honestly fascinating. I was really curious how someone who knows his work would put it into words, so I asked Conan O’Brien, who produced Fleming’s new special, Live at the Palace. His first attempt? A six-foot dandelion on cocaine bursting out of the ground! Seriously. And he kept trying to explain it! Eventually, he settled on comparing Fleming to the gloopy stuff inside a lava lamp. It’s a weirdly perfect description, honestly. It captures that unpredictable, slightly chaotic energy he has.
