“It’s been an ongoing debate, so it’s a really good one. I would have said initially, as a purist, that black-and-white would be the version to go for first. Then, delve into color.

With so much focus on quick results, it’s getting harder for truly original shows to stand out, especially when they’re canceled early. The Abandons, despite its short run, was remarkably creative and bold, and has already become a standout modern Western. It proves that a show doesn’t need to last a long time to be considered a classic – quality and impact matter more than longevity. The show benefited from a talented cast, a strong initial story, and a focused, uncluttered approach.
As a huge Star Wars fan, I was really excited to hear that Dave Filoni stepped up as president of Lucasfilm in January 2026, taking over from Kathleen Kennedy as she retired. They also brought in Lynwen Brennan as co-president, which feels like a great move. And with The Mandalorian and Grogu being the first Star Wars film in seven years, things are definitely changing! I’ve heard Jon Favreau already knows which characters the studio is planning to focus on going forward, and that’s a really promising sign for the future of the franchise.
The surprising combination of Lestat and Jesus happens in the fifth book of The Vampire Chronicles, called Memnoch the Devil. The story involves Lestat being shown both heaven and hell by the Devil, and a pivotal moment where Jesus offers Lestat his blood.

Now, he’s a really famous face in Hollywood, and it’s amazing to see how many people are analyzing his work – from film students to writers and everyone in between. People are constantly talking about how versatile he is as an actor, and it’s easy to see why!

From the beginning of his papacy, the Pope has consistently spoken about the potential downsides of unchecked technological advancement. He immediately highlighted the human element of filmmaking, acknowledging the contributions of everyone involved, from camera operators to catering staff, emphasizing that creative work is a collaborative effort. Interestingly, his chosen name echoes history; the previous Pope Leo presided during the Industrial Revolution and famously cautioned against the excesses of capitalism.
I’m so excited! Netflix just announced that The Last Ship is coming to the service on June 22, 2026! For those who don’t know, it originally aired on TNT from 2014 to 2018, and it ran for five seasons with a total of 56 episodes.

I think a lot of us fans have been waiting for this!
