Just in time for the Super Bowl and the upcoming Winter Olympics, Netflix has released several new shows. With a lot of exciting sporting events happening soon, these shows – including a fast-paced, 8-episode action thriller – are perfect for a quick watch.
The conflict between Roger Ebert and Rob Schneider began three years prior when Ebert gave Schneider’s film, The Hot Chick, a very poor review—half a star out of four. This sparked a public argument, with Schneider repeatedly criticizing Ebert’s opinions. Ebert, in turn, delivered a particularly strong response, making it one of the most memorable clashes between an actor and a film critic. After two decades, it’s worth looking back at this famous feud.

The Baldur’s Gate video game series, based on the popular Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game, is getting a new television adaptation. Interest in Dungeons & Dragons has surged recently, partly due to its prominent use in the Netflix hit Stranger Things. According to Deadline, Neil Mazin will lead the project as creator, writer, showrunner, and executive producer. Unlike The Last of Us, which adapted its source material directly, this series will continue the story of Baldur’s Gate beyond what’s already been established in the games.
As a huge Doctor Who fan, I’ve always loved Mark Gatiss’ writing – some of his episodes are genuinely brilliant. But what’s often overlooked is that he’s also been in Doctor Who! He played Professor Lazarus back in Season 3’s “The Lazarus Experiment,” and then Captain Lethbridge Stewart in the 2017 Christmas special, “Twice Upon a Time.” So, he really understands the show from both sides of the camera. That’s why, when he was at the Radio Times Covers Party recently, I was really interested to hear his thoughts on where Doctor Who is headed, especially when he started comparing it to other classic sci-fi franchises.
