With Halloween here, Marvel Studios shared a list on Twitter (now X) of its best movies and shows to enjoy while waiting for trick-or-treaters. Here are three perfect MCU picks to add some spooky fun to your Halloween marathon, and why they’re great choices.
Linda Hamilton starred in a film based on a Stephen King story early in her career, but she remembers it very negatively – she’s even called it the worst movie she’s ever been in. Interestingly, despite her dislike, the film has gained a dedicated following and become a cult classic, suggesting her initial assessment might have been off base.
Sometimes, though, standing ovations can go on for so long at festivals that they become a bit silly. It’s gotten to the point where people now compare the length of these ovations to those at award shows. Two filmmakers spotted this trend and made a hilarious short film about it.
I was surprised to read in Variety that Gayle King might be leaving CBS! It’s all a bit unclear right now – we don’t know if she’s looking for a different job within CBS, or if she’s moving on completely. CBS hasn’t officially said anything about her leaving, but they did release a statement saying they haven’t even had any conversations with her about her contract, which runs until May 2026. Basically, they said she’s incredibly valuable to them and they plan to talk to her about the future when the time comes.
It’s surprising Hello Kitty hasn’t starred in a full-length movie before, considering her love for film and a brief appearance in Ready Player One. She’s already a popular character at Universal Studios, and her first TV show, Hello Kitty’s Furry Tale Theater, was all about her and her friends playfully recreating famous 80s movies. In fact, Hello Kitty even played iconic roles like Princess Leia and E.T.! She’s clearly versatile and ready for the big screen.
The conversation started while he was on TODAY to talk about his new movie, Now You See Me, Now You Don’t, where he plays Danny Atlas, the leader of the Four Horsemen. The movie is coming out next month. When host Craig Melvin asked if it was true he had turned down a role in The Social Reckoning, the actor, known for playing Mark Zuckerberg, replied:
With the season of The Witcher nearing its end, this episode feels more like a setup for the finale than a truly satisfying story. It focuses more on positioning characters for the ending than on compelling events. However, the episode is saved by its central story – a classic Witcher tale of a dark, fairytale-like monster hunt with a clever surprise at the end, which is exactly the kind of story this show does best.
Recently, The Bachelor franchise has started casting leads who aren’t from the usual Bachelor or Bachelorette contestants, like Mel Owens and the upcoming Bachelorette Taylor Frankie Paul. However, the current group of women competing on the show are the most likely candidates to become the next Golden Bachelorette, if the show gets picked up for another season.
As a movie fan, I’m always blown away by the Joker. He’s just such a captivating villain, and the role seems to really push any actor who takes it on. Think about it – Heath Ledger’s Joker in The Dark Knight was absolutely terrifying and really captured the spirit of that film, and then Joaquin Phoenix completely redefined the character with his own, more complex take in the recent solo movie. It’s amazing how much impact this one character has had, even outside of the Batman universe!
The 2026 Transformers: Age of the Primes collection will feature the original Primes – the ancestors of Optimus Prime. It will also include characters inspired by Beast Wars. These toys were revealed at MCM Comic-Con London 2025 and are now available for pre-order, appealing to fans both old and new.
