Below Deck Mediterranean Recap: Your Own Worst Enemy

Professional boxer David is on charter thanks to an invitation from his friend, Cameron. Aside from a bit of seasickness after a morning sailing lesson – understandable, considering it followed French toast! – the charter is going well. Cameron, a former football player, brought along some football buddies, along with David, a rapper, and a sommelier. Everyone is friendly and looking forward to relaxing and watching the America’s Cup, the most important sailing race, from the yacht. It’s lucky their trip coincides with the event; Sandy even compared it to the soccer World Cup. Aesha knows the importance of the America’s Cup, as New Zealand is a major sailing nation – they actually won the title in 2024, the year this season was filmed.

Almost 40 Years Ago, We Got A Perfectly Timely (And Timeless) Christmas Carol Riff

Starring Karen Allen, Alfre Woodard, John Glover, John Forsythe, and Carol Kane, the film Scrooged initially received mixed reactions from critics. Over time, however, it’s become a beloved holiday tradition with a loyal following. Its lasting appeal lies in its clever, sometimes biting, 1980s humor combined with a classic retelling of the familiar story.

‘Influencers’ Review: The Slick Sequel Continues to Take Down Social Media

Harder’s latest film feels more assured than his previous work, featuring even more visually appealing settings and a more intricate storyline. While his confidence sometimes leads to unbelievable scenarios, particularly regarding the character CW’s online skills, it mostly adds to the film’s lighthearted entertainment. Like his earlier film Influencer, this one doesn’t offer a deeply critical look at internet culture, though it does include some sharp observations and political commentary. Ultimately, the film’s success rests on Naud’s performance, as she clearly relishes her role, and the audience does too. It’s so enjoyable that a third film, set in another exotic location, would be entirely welcome.

The ‘Star Wars’ Sequel Trilogy Retcon Isn’t The Genius Solution Disney Thinks It Is

Shows like The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett, and Ahsoka, along with the new movie The Mandalorian & Grogu, are all part of a larger, connected story. This story is expected to lead to a team-up movie directed by Dave Filoni, which will largely adapt the popular Thrawn trilogy from the old Star Wars Expanded Universe – stories that originally followed Return of the Jedi before Disney bought Lucasfilm. Now, some fans are wondering if Disney is using this adaptation to address or revise aspects of the more recent sequel trilogy. But is focusing on this specific, older part of Star Wars lore a smart move, or is it too narrow a focus?

Jimmy Kimmel Live Got Renewed

It’s been a challenging year for Jimmy Kimmel’s show. In September, Disney and ABC temporarily paused JKL after criticism of Kimmel’s comments about the murder of conservative podcaster Charlie Kirk. After a week and a viewer boycott, the show returned, though some local stations owned by Nexstar and Sinclair initially refused to air it – they eventually added it back to their lineups after just four days. Now, Disney has renewed Kimmel’s show for another year. Here’s to that!

Game Of Thrones’ Spiritual Successor Is In Development With Disney+

Lots of shows have attempted to copy the look and popularity of Game of Thrones, but most haven’t done well. While a few have been okay, the fantasy shows that have succeeded usually stand out on their own, instead of simply trying to be the next Game of Thrones. Despite this, many shows still try to follow that formula.
