At CinemaCon, Ben Stiller jokingly compared himself to Robert De Niro within the film series. De Niro, in turn, praised Ariana Grande as the funniest co-star he’s ever worked with. While meant as playful teasing towards Stiller, some found De Niro’s comment a bit dismissive of his other past collaborators, like Aubrey Plaza and Christopher Walken. Though De Niro wasn’t known for comedy in films like The Deer Hunter, many are enjoying his recent performance in The Continental. The new movie, Focker-in-Law, will be released in theaters this Thanksgiving.

The fifth season of The X-Files featured “Kill Switch,” widely considered its most cyberpunk episode. It stood out from the rest of the series with its intense focus on themes like rebellious artificial intelligence and a dark, technologically-driven sense of paranoia.

The first trailer has arrived for Focker-in-Law, the newest movie in the popular comedy series after more than ten years. Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro return as Greg Focker and Jack Byrnes, and Owen Wilson, Blythe Danner, and Teri Polo are also back as Kevin Rawley, Dina Byrnes, and Pam Byrnes Focker, reprising their roles from the previous films.

Instead of a story set on Earth, The Captive’s War follows a group of humans originally from another planet who are captured by the brutal Carryx Empire. With the right investment from Prime Video – similar to what they gave The Expanse – this show could be truly amazing.

Sony’s animated Spider-Verse films have become incredibly popular, and the Marvel Cinematic Universe seems to be moving closer to adapting those stories into live-action. The upcoming series Daredevil: Born Again, which shares a similar setting with Spider-Man, suggests that the kind of world we saw in the Spider-Verse movies might be happening soon.

Neil Flynn was known for his hilarious role as the Janitor throughout the original nine seasons of Scrubs, though he only made a quick appearance in the Season 9 premiere. When Scrubs briefly continued with Med School, Flynn chose to star in The Middle instead. Now that Season 9 is considered separate from the main Scrubs storyline, the last time we officially saw the Janitor was in the 2009 series finale, which provided a satisfying conclusion. Fans have long hoped for his return, and the revival finally delivered with “My Celebration.” Thankfully, it feels like no time has passed at all for his character.

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie significantly expanded the range of Nintendo characters available for future films. It successfully introduced popular figures like Yoshi, Rosalina, and Bowser Jr. from the Super Mario universe. Plus, the movie’s end-credits scene revealed Princess Daisy, a character fans were eager to see.

The timing is interesting, considering so many people are just learning about Carl Radke (formerly Gulbranson) due to the current drama involving Ciara Miller, Austen Wilson, and Amanda Batula. Miller came onto Summer House as someone Radke previously dated, which upset Hannah Berner, who had a casual relationship with him the summer before while he was also talking to Miller. Now, with the online fallout from Wilson and Batula’s relationship, Radke’s name is trending on Google. It’s safe to say it’s not because of his views on financial responsibility.

Khloé Kardashian expressed frustration that, after she believed she’d moved past helping her ex-husband Lamar Odom, he was now publicly disputing her version of events. She explained that she had resolved never to be in a similar situation again, but Odom was doing interviews suggesting she was dishonest and didn’t support him. According to Kardashian, Odom’s father, Joe, initially wanted his son taken off life support and asked doctors to disconnect the machines. She recalled arriving at the hospital around that time and asserting her role as his wife, offering to help. Kardashian claims Joe left the hospital after receiving a pair of Nike shoes, $100, and a hotel room for the night. However, Odom denies this happened, stating he was unconscious at the time and doesn’t believe his father would ever say such a thing.
