Certain episodes of Black Mirror, such as “Shut Up and Dance,” “The Waldo Moment,” and “Loch Henry,” become even more impactful with each rewatch. Over time, their critiques of technology and the increasing prevalence of crime and unethical behavior feel less like fiction and more like reflections of reality. Because of this, it’s difficult to single out just one episode as being particularly relevant to the current moment.
Sitcoms usually focus on lighthearted moments, so it feels odd when a character is easily forgiven for a serious wrongdoing, particularly if they don’t seem sorry. Many funny sitcom characters have hurt others, but it’s often in a minor or comical way, and everyone gets over it quickly. Sometimes, though, the betrayal is bigger and harder to accept.
So, who is this person everyone is talking about? Fans of Bravo reality TV think it might be country singer Morgan Wade, as she was romantically linked to Richards last year. While they initially claimed they were just friends, things got complicated when they shared a kiss in Wade’s music video. Then, Wade removed all photos of Richards from her Instagram account. Just how close did they become, and are we overstepping by trying to figure it all out now? Let’s take a closer look.
Both Knives Out and Glass Onion featured a single murderer motivated by greed. However, Wake Up Dead Man is different – it reveals multiple killers. Plus, the central murder is just one piece of a much bigger, more complex plot than Benoit Blanc has faced before.
The unusual way these trailers were released gained more attention when Heat Vision at The Hollywood Reporter suggested that a new trailer would be shown each week for the first month that Avatar 3 is in theaters. This means fans who want to see all four trailers in cinemas will need to go to at least four showings of Fire and Ash.
The newest film in the Knives Out series, Wake Up Dead Man, now available on Netflix, is visually stunning and explores interesting ideas while still following a familiar pattern. Like the previous films, it centers on a close-knit group of people – in past installments, they were wealthy families or those beholden to powerful figures. Their comfortable world is disrupted by an outsider who doesn’t understand their values, similar to characters in earlier films. This disruption coincides with a murder, and the outsider immediately becomes the prime suspect. Luckily, detective Benoit Blanc arrives to help those who are overlooked and underestimated. Throughout the Knives Out series, Blanc has consistently championed working-class protagonists – nurses, teachers, and others with union protections – because these films are ultimately about the importance of community and how welcoming or isolating it can be.
According to Levinson, the story picks up with Rue in Mexico, where she owes money to a person named Laurie and is desperately trying to find creative ways to repay her. It seems her journey has led to a personal crisis or a moment of realization – something she likely needs.
As a huge Batman fan, I’m really excited about the rumors swirling around Brad Pitt potentially joining the universe! Apparently, he might be playing Dr. Jeremiah Arkham, a somewhat obscure villain from the comics. This guy is basically the director of Arkham Asylum, but things take a dark turn and he loses his mind. The history of Arkham in the comics is already pretty messed up, and it’s given writers a great foundation to build out the stories of all those iconic villains. We’ve already seen hints of that darkness in The Batman and The Penguin series, and this casting rumor makes me think a sequel could really dive into that side of things – and it’s a really intriguing possibility!
Taylor Swift’s concert film, Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour, was a huge success in 2023. Now, this new docuseries offers a behind-the-scenes look at the tour. She’s also released a complete recording of the final Eras Tour show, available on Disney+. This version includes performances of songs from her Tortured Poets Department album, which weren’t part of the original 2023 film.
Okay, so the show’s visuals are great, but honestly, I’m here for Dr. Robby’s midlife crisis! He’s got a motorcycle now, and he’s riding it without a helmet – seriously?! Aside from that, it’s hard to tell what’s going to happen this Fourth of July. The music feels like something my dad would listen to after a divorce, and it really paints a picture of Michael still dealing with a lot of trauma from everything that happened last season. Season two of The Pitt starts January 8th on HBO Max, and I’m really hoping things will finally calm down for him and we’ll get a more relaxed day!
