If you’re interested in seeing Jimmy Kimmel’s response to his suspension, clips will be available on YouTube and full episodes on Hulu. If you’re watching TV on Tuesday and hoping for news other than Guillermo offering celebrities tequila shots, you’ll likely have to wait for the YouTube clip – or you might just find it while scrolling through TikTok.
After a screening of his film in New York, Wes Anderson explained to moderator Doreen St. Félix that audiences need something relatable to focus on. He believes that while politics are always present, they shouldn’t overwhelm a story, or viewers – including himself – will tune out. Anderson intentionally focused on creating believable relationships between his characters, even those who disagree, rather than emphasizing political divides.
The teaser mainly features puppets, computer-generated imagery, and characters in masks. The only real human face we see is Sigourney Weaver, who’s shown using a tablet in a diner-like setting while Grogu (Baby Yoda) attempts to use the Force to grab her food. Even the Mandalorian, Din Djarin, played by Pedro Pascal, keeps his helmet on throughout the entire 94-second clip.
On September 17th, ABC stopped production of Jimmy Kimmel’s show, right before taping was scheduled to begin. This decision followed attacks from far-right activists associated with the MAGA movement. They were upset by a statement Kimmel made on September 15th about people trying to distance themselves from a person who allegedly attacked Charlie Kirk, and using the situation for political gain. Following this, Brendan Carr, who leads the Federal Communications Commission and is a supporter of Donald Trump, hinted on a MAGA-aligned podcast that ABC’s local stations could face consequences from the government if they continued to air Kimmel’s show.
The Mandalorian, the first Star Wars television series, debuted in 2019 and quickly became popular, running for three seasons until April 2023. While creators Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni had finished writing a fourth season, Lucasfilm decided to shift direction. Instead of continuing the series, they opted to create a new Star Wars movie based on The Mandalorian’s story. This movie, titled The Mandalorian and Grogu, was announced in January 2024 and wrapped up filming in December 2024.
At a recent Edmonton Expo panel, Mike Colter shared his opinion that Luke Cage is better suited as a grounded, street-level hero rather than joining the Avengers to fight massive threats like Thanos or Doctor Doom. He pointed to the treatment of Hulk in *Avengers: Infinity War* – specifically, how easily Thanos defeated him – as a reason. Colter questioned why Luke Cage would fare any better, suggesting Thanos would similarly overpower him.
I’ve noticed this pattern before – when you look at the actual data, it often doesn’t match the narrative being pushed by celebrities and the media that covers them. It’s like there’s a disconnect between what’s being said and what’s really happening, and the numbers usually reveal the truth.
Okay, so let’s talk about the Eyeball. Seriously, this thing feels like something I sketched in my notebook back in seventh grade when I was obsessed with horror, but now it’s all brought to life with CGI! It’s currently chilling on Boy Kavalier’s island with all the other creepy stuff Weyland-Yutani’s collected from across the galaxy. The ship, the *Maginot*, brought a ton of new creatures down to Earth – it was a biological research vessel, you see. But honestly, while there’s a lot of new monsters, the Eyeball is the one that really stands out. It just *has* that main character energy – the kind that makes you think it’ll be giving us nightmares for years, even longer than the original Xenomorph! No offense to the weird, hanging plant with a tongue, those acid-spitting flies, or the super-ticks, but the Eyeball is on another level.
Universal Pictures will release the movie *Wicked: For Good* in US theaters this November. The film is based on the popular 2003 stage musical by Stephen Schwartz and Winnie Holzman, and continues the story begun in the 2024 film *Wicked*. Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande will return as Elphaba and Glinda, respectively.
Dark Horse Comics started in the late 1980s and quickly became known for publishing popular licensed properties like *Star Wars*. It also gained a reputation as a publisher that gave creators a lot of freedom. This made it a great home for *Alien*, a franchise that has always benefited from allowing its storytellers creative control. *Aliens: Salvation*, which follows a religious crew member and his captain as they struggle to survive on a strange planet after their ship is overrun by Xenomorphs, perfectly showcases the exciting stories that resulted from this combination.
