The classic TV show The Rockford Files was created by Roy Huggins and Stephen J. Cannell, and starred James Garner as private eye Jim Rockford. It’s a bit unexpected to see NBC using the traditional pilot season process to reboot the show, as most networks now develop programs throughout the year instead.
According to FlixPatrol, Spartacus: House of Ashur is currently a top ten hit on several streaming services. In the United States, it’s the second most popular series on Starz, where it streams. It’s even more popular elsewhere, topping the charts on MGM+ in the UK, ranking second on Stan in Australia, and landing at number three on Canal+ in France.
It’s unusual for a fourth installment in a series to be so strong, but The Bone Temple truly delivers. This is especially remarkable considering how good last year’s reboot, 28 Years Later, already was. Writer Alex Garland and director Danny Boyle, who started this series in 2003, brought fresh energy to their world of a devastating “rage virus” in Britain – and it didn’t just repeat old ideas. Now, with The Bone Temple, Garland teams up with director Nia DaCosta (while Danny Boyle stays on as a producer) to push the boundaries even further, allowing the world of 28 Days Later to evolve in exciting and welcome new directions.
If you’re not familiar with the Spider-Man comics “One More Day” and “Brand New Day,” the movie Spider-Man: No Way Home draws inspiration from “One More Day,” and a future film, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, will be based on the comic of the same name. “One More Day” is a famously debated storyline where Peter Parker makes a deal with the devil, Mephisto, to save Aunt May’s life. The cost? Everyone forgets Peter is Spider-Man, and he loses all memories of his marriage to Mary Jane Watson-Parker.
I’m so excited for the next Avengers movie! It’s currently being finished up – they’re in post-production now. The Russo brothers, Joe and Anthony, are directing, and it’s set to come out in the US later this year. And if that wasn’t enough, we already have another one planned – Avengers: Secret Wars – which will be here in 2027! I can hardly wait.
When it comes to live-action Batman films, the Dark Knight trilogy and Matt Reeves’ The Batman are considered among the very best. In animation, The Dark Knight Returns stands out as a top pick. However, not all Batman movies are winners, and the generally agreed-upon worst is the animated The Killing Joke, which will be ten years old in 2026.
Inspired by the beloved 1980s film of the same name, People We Meet on Vacation quickly became popular on Netflix. According to Tudum, it garnered 17.2 million views and a total of 33.8 million hours of watch time.
The episode titled “Corrosive” featured a judge, Busfield, recovering after someone tried to harm him. It was initially supposed to air on January 15th, but instead, the episode originally planned for January 22nd will now be shown first.
The event was promoted as being especially for lesbians – the announcement playfully said “Lesbians love a slow burn” – but a few gay men also attended. One man even had a custom T-shirt printed with the full translation of a famous monologue on the back. After the event, people approached him to read the text on his shirt, even though most had likely heard the monologue before. Throughout December, viewers had watched the show when it first aired, and many rewatched it during the quiet days between Christmas and New Year’s. Most attendees seemed to have watched it around three times, but one woman admitted she’d seen even more, counting all the clips and fan videos she’d watched on TikTok.
The directors recently explained in an Instagram post celebrating the fourth preview that the four videos released so far aren’t traditional teasers or trailers. Instead, they described them as short stories and hints about what’s to come, showcasing characters like the people of Wakanda, Namor, and Ben Grimm from The Fantastic Four.
