Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, along with the rest of the cast of Wicked: For Good, are about to record some incredibly famous songs from the second act of the Broadway show, and these recordings will likely become the definitive versions for fans. It’s a big deal because there’s a wealth of existing interpretations to draw from – over two decades of different actors playing Elphaba and Glinda, all documented online. There’s even a dedicated fanbase that can identify each Elphaba by voice alone! Knowing the cast are Wicked fans themselves, they’re aware their choices will be intensely scrutinized and debated. So, what should we pay attention to when we finally hear these new recordings? Let’s break it down.

I’m so excited about the Streamer Awards! It’s awesome to see how streamers are building communities, whether they’re mastering new games, having real-life adventures, or just making really unique content. The awards are a great way to celebrate all the amazing creators, and it’s cool that fans get to vote! Honestly, though, it feels like we already know who’s going to win in a few categories – some people are just that popular!

The upcoming film, Project Hail Mary, is based on Andy Weir’s 2021 science fiction novel. It follows astronaut Ryland Grace, who wakes up with no memory while on a critical mission to prevent the extinction of humanity. Ryan Gosling will star, and the film will be directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, who previously worked together on movies like The Lego Movie and 21 Jump Street.

Despite everything, I firmly believe that in the years to come, filmmakers will recognize Frankenstein as Guillermo del Toro’s greatest achievement. It might seem surprising, considering it was mainly made for streaming and he’s directed many critically acclaimed films, but let me explain my reasoning.

In the world of Harry Potter, Harry, Ron, and Hermione perfectly embody the meaning of friendship and represent the series’ central theme of chosen family. The story emphasizes that it’s not about where you come from, but the connections you make with others. This idea was established early in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone with a single, powerful line that has come to define the entire series, and continues to resonate with audiences even today as a valuable life lesson.

The sequel to Now You See Me brings back Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Dave Franco, Isla Fisher, Lizzy Caplan, and Morgan Freeman. Joining them are new cast members Justice Smith, Dominic Sessa, Ariana Greenblatt, and Rosamund Pike. In this installment, the “Four Horsemen” use their magic and illusions to reveal the dishonest practices of a diamond dealer.

Though Ryan Coogler hasn’t revealed much about the story, he recently confirmed to Deadline that he’s already started working on the next Black Panther movie, following the success of his film Sinners. It will be his next project.

Here’s what happened: ABC released a Halloween episode of Shifting Gears on October 29th, but I was playing tennis and didn’t get to watch it. The next day, ABC and YouTube TV had a disagreement that blocked access to the episode. Luckily, with the dispute now resolved, the episode reappeared in my YouTube TV library this week.

Several popular TV shows are getting reboots in 2026, like Scrubs and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, which highlights which stories are worth revisiting. It feels natural to see a new generation of doctors at Sacred Heart, and there’s always potential for a fresh, strong, and interesting Slayer.

I’m really excited about the cast of For Good! Alongside Cynthia Erivo and Jeff Goldblum, Ariana Grande is playing Glinda, and their dynamic with Elphaba is going to be fascinating. It’s heartbreaking knowing that, in Wicked, Glinda and Elphaba have this incredible connection, but ultimately end up on opposite sides due to their differing beliefs. It’s sad to see how Glinda gets manipulated by the Wizard in the end, becoming a tool in his plans.
