Shirley discovered over $110 million in fraudulent activity in a single day, and believes this is only a small part of a much larger problem. He has video evidence of what appear to be falsified billing records. However, when he visited the daycare centers in question, he found empty buildings with no staff or children present.
While CGI can realistically create things like animal fur, a truly iconic wig still holds a special power on screen. It’s not about high-tech effects; the wig’s simple, analog nature is what makes it so effective. In 2025, the best wigs weren’t trying to look real – they embraced their artificiality. In fact, the more obviously fake a wig was, the more entertaining it became. The key to a great wig? Let that hairline show! Here are some of the most memorable pop-culture wigs of the year.
The acclaimed 1997 legal drama became available on a streaming service on January 1, 2026. Written and directed by Francis Ford Coppola, the film stars Matt Damon as Rudy S.

The character of Manny will be played by a new actor in season 3 of The Last of Us, meaning Alexander Ramirez will no longer be with the show. This change is due to scheduling issues, as filming for the next season is expected to start next spring. Although it hasn’t been officially stated, these conflicts are likely related to Ramirez’s work in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
It’s curious that The Last Broadcast, released only a year earlier, used similar filmmaking styles and explored comparable themes, but didn’t achieve nearly the same level of popularity. Poor timing, limited distribution, and a quickly evolving media environment meant it was largely forgotten when people began discussing the emergence of found footage horror films.
This show is important because it brings the Green Lantern Corps back to live-action after a long hiatus – it’s been since the 2011 Green Lantern movie. It also explores an idea that was previously considered for the DC Universe under Zack Snyder. Before James Gunn’s recent reboot, Snyder had planned to introduce a Green Lantern character who ultimately didn’t appear in any films.
The marketing campaign for Avengers: Doomsday has been quite different from typical movie promotions. Marvel has been slowly revealing details, starting with a set photo of the cast and then releasing trailers in stages. This unusual approach seems to be because Doomsday will involve a massive team-up of Marvel heroes across different universes. However, the latest trailers suggest the film might be using a similar marketing tactic as a previous Avengers movie.
Rosario Dawson, who plays the title role in Ahsoka, posted a New Year’s Eve selfie on Instagram. The photo shows her wearing a black jacket featuring the show’s logo, offering a glimpse behind the scenes of the upcoming second season.
As a huge Batman fan, I’m really excited about what James Gunn is doing with the DC Universe! It sounds like the Batman we’ll see in The Brave and the Bold is going to be totally different. James Gunn and Peter Safran have said this movie is intentionally going in a new direction, and they’re promising three things we’ve never seen in a live-action Batman film before. Seriously, this could be the most unique take on the character yet!
