Billy Bob Thornton made a guest appearance on 1883 as a personal favor to Taylor Sheridan, who initially intended to cast an unknown actor in the role of Marshal Courtright. They worked together so well that Sheridan then wrote the series Landman specifically for Thornton to star in. Considering how many Yellowstone spin-offs there are now, it would be great to see a story that further explored Thornton’s character, Courtright.

I was so fascinated to hear about a panel from the IMART festival in Japan! Kodansha representatives were talking about how risky adapting Attack on Titan actually was. Apparently, internally, they genuinely thought the anime might fail! They were worried it was too dark and lacked those typical ‘moe’ elements – you know, the really cute, endearing qualities – that a lot of anime rely on to become popular. It’s amazing how wrong they were, honestly!

Then, O’Brien did a bit where Michael B. Jordan filled in for all the seat fillers in one area. While it’s good to hold people responsible, we’d rather just daydream about a world overflowing with Michael B. Jordans.

O’Brien kept the audience roaring with jokes, particularly about a hypothetical Oscars hosted by Kid Rock at a Dave & Busters, the limited number of British nominees, and Netflix’s Ted Sarandos. He playfully suggested the Oscars was Sarandos’s first time seeing a movie in a theater, then imagined Sarandos thinking, “Why are they all having fun together? They should be watching at home so I can make money off of it!” Despite all the playful jabs, O’Brien ended on a genuinely optimistic note, celebrating the Oscars’ international spirit as a source of hope in a difficult world.

Star Trek was groundbreaking in many ways, notably by featuring a Black woman, Uhura, in a role of power. Seeing a Black woman as a regular character on television was unprecedented at the time. Nichelle Nichols, the actress who played Uhura, even received praise from Martin Luther King Jr. for her portrayal.

The 1980s were a great decade for family-friendly movies, especially with directors like Steven Spielberg becoming known for appealing to all ages. Fantasy films for kids were also popular, and despite some struggles for Disney animation, several well-made animated movies from that era are still enjoyed today.

Both Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels contain surprisingly intense and often shocking moments, ranging from characters losing their heads – even young Ahsoka – to the complete annihilation of entire worlds. Both series don’t shy away from depicting death and widespread destruction.

Glenn Howerton, known for his role in It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, stars as Jimmy Pierce, a dog walker struggling with manic depression and a past suicide attempt. The story begins with Jimmy waking up in his bathtub with self-inflicted wrist wounds, and everyone assuming it was another attempt on his life. However, Jimmy claims he didn’t try to harm himself and believes someone staged the scene to look like a suicide, launching him into a risky investigation.
