Producer Bobby Cohen has confirmed they’ve been talking about creating a TV series. However, the project will only happen if they can develop a strong and compelling idea. Cohen explained that they don’t want to simply stretch the movie’s plot into a longer format. Instead, they’re aiming for something completely new and different.
Do you remember when Stephen Colbert’s team suggested a segment about Gaza to Zohran Mamdani? To be fair, those pushing Mamdani on the issue weren’t acting in good faith, so responding in kind makes some sense. What really stood out to me during Mamdani’s conversation with Jon Stewart on The Daily Show was that he had enough time at the beginning to discuss important topics seriously, which allowed him to relax and do some lighter segments towards the end. That’s thanks to the length of the interview, but also to Stewart’s skill as an interviewer. He truly connects with his guests, understanding their perspective and asking questions that get to the heart of the matter. Like his recent talk with Bernie Sanders, it was a genuine exchange of ideas.
Years ago, Hollywood generally believed that shared universes – where characters from different shows and movies crossed over – wouldn’t work. However, Warner Bros. Television proved them wrong with the TV show Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman. When ABC canceled that series in 1997, CBS took a chance on a similar concept with Justice League of America, featuring updated versions of heroes like Flash, Green Lantern, and Martian Manhunter. Unfortunately, it didn’t catch on. The attempt at a pilot aired as a movie, and thankfully, CBS didn’t order a full series. Looking back, it was probably a good thing, considering the mixed reception of live-action DC adaptations over the last thirty years. Despite this, dedicated DC fans recorded Justice League of America when it aired on CBS around Christmas and shared those recordings at comic book stores and conventions. Without those unofficial copies, the movie would have been largely forgotten. While Guy Gardner appeared in the film, Nathan Fillion is still the actor most fans associate with that character, as he accurately portrays him from the comic books.
Nielsen recently looked at what people were streaming at home in the lead-up to Halloween, and some horror titles are performing surprisingly well. For the week of October 1st to 7th, the data shows that M3GAN 2.0 was the most-streamed horror movie, racking up 115 million minutes on Peacock, closely followed by Scream. In fact, three other 2025 horror releases landed in the top 10 that week: Bring Her Back at number 3, 28 Years Later at number 4, and Sinners at number 8.
Before this week’s episode, Olympia and Matty only knew that Deborah had a brief romance with Senior 15 years ago during a work trip to Australia. This happened while Julian was being forced to hide a company study showing their opioid drugs were addictive. Olympia and Matty hoped Deborah could name other people who were at the retreat and potentially identify who pressured Julian – and ultimately, who was keeping the father of her children from going to jail.
It’s common for Batman movies to include multiple villains, but usually they focus on just a few from the DC universe – even the comic books rarely feature a huge roster of enemies at the same time. That’s what makes the upcoming Batman sequel so remarkable and stands out from previous installments.
As hinted at in the trailers for the new movie Wicked: For Good, familiar characters from The Wizard of Oz – including Dorothy Gale, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Cowardly Lion – will appear, with an Oscar-nominated actor providing their voice. Director Chu has now confirmed that Dorothy will be visible in the film, but her face will remain hidden, putting an end to speculation about who would play her. He told People that he didn’t want to interfere with viewers’ existing ideas of Dorothy, and stressed that the story will still focus on Elphaba and Glinda, with Dorothy playing a smaller role in their journey.
Netflix released a final trailer for the upcoming release on November 7th. The trailer offers a clearer look at the Creature, showing both its human and monstrous sides, after months of keeping details under wraps.
James Gunn’s recent projects, like the upcoming season of Peacemaker and his new take on Superman, seem remarkably prescient, reflecting current anxieties about political extremism and powerful figures. However, Gunn isn’t simply predicting the future; he’s a skilled storyteller with a clear understanding of human nature and history. He delivers impactful messages – often critical of authoritarianism – while still providing the action, twists, and spectacle that superhero fans demand. Interestingly, the superhero genre itself has always flirted with both democratic and authoritarian themes since its beginnings in 1938. Gunn’s work leans strongly into hopeful, progressive ideals, making it notably more outspoken and utopian than other big-budget superhero films.
As a big fan of Ghosts, I always expect the Halloween episodes to be extra chaotic, and this year’s didn’t disappoint! They woke up the mummy, Amunhotep, and he was not happy with the Woodstone family. The whole thing led to Hetty desperately trying to cover up the fact that she’d bought his sarcophagus way back in 1890 – she even did a fantastic Marge Gunderson impression from Fargo to try and deflect! It was surprisingly sweet to see things end on a good note for Hetty and Trevor, and Rebecca Wisocky talked about how much fun it was playing Hetty’s crazy adventure.
