Minority Mindset

During his appearance on Saturday Night Live, Finn Wolfhard presented a funny sketch with several ideas for Stranger Things spinoff shows. These included a series where Steve Harrington becomes a teacher in an urban setting, similar to the movie Dangerous Minds, and another following Nancy Wheeler as a determined investigative journalist. The sketch also imagined Mike Wheeler moving to 1990s New York to pursue a career as a writer in a show called Mike in Manhattan. The sketch also featured some surprise guest appearances.

As a huge fan, I always think of Star Trek having two main periods. It all started back in 1966 with The Original Series, and that first run really continued until Enterprise finished in 2001. Those 35 years gave us six amazing TV shows and ten movies, all linked together in one big story! While it’s harder to pinpoint exactly when the ‘modern’ era began, it’s clear Star Trek has come roaring back with tons of new shows and movies – it’s fantastic to see!

The video mixes clips from Stranger Things with promotional material for upcoming shows. It includes a moment featuring Jeremy Culhane impersonating Noah Schnapp’s character, Will Byers, and making a joke about his coming-out story. While this 5-second clip is meant as lighthearted humor alongside other jokes about the show’s controversial final season, some viewers feel that such a personal topic shouldn’t be the subject of jokes, even in shows geared towards adults.

The Golden Globes often throw some unexpected winners into the mix, which shakes up the Oscars race. After the Golden Globes, frontrunners for major awards aren’t always so clear-cut, because the Globes sometimes highlight less predictable choices. This makes the entire awards season more exciting to watch.

In season 8 of The Rookie, one of the show’s main characters is facing a tough situation with the Mid-Wilshire Division. The series has returned to ABC after a break, kicking off with a big international storyline. The second episode begins to establish the show’s new direction, but is complicated by a visit from the President to Los Angeles.

Released in 2020 on Netflix, The Queen’s Gambit is based on Walter Tevis’s 1983 novel of the same name and quickly became a huge cultural hit. While a show about chess tournaments might not seem like a guaranteed success, the series’ compelling story and beautiful visuals drew viewers in from around the world.
