Right from the start, The Sopranos shows us that Tony’s therapy sessions will be his biggest challenge. Dr. Melfi listens patiently as Tony deflects with jokes and lies, unaware that her questions are slowly chipping away at the tough image he presents. Unlike his associates, Melfi can’t be intimidated or bought off; her power comes from understanding others, something Tony doesn’t comprehend. This creates a constant tension – he’s a man who uses violence to keep secrets, and she’s a professional trained to reveal them – and sets the stage for the entire show. The therapy room becomes both a haven and a risk: a place where Tony can finally be honest, but also one where he could lose everything he’s worked to conceal. Even in the first episode, it’s clear that his relationship with Dr. Melfi will be more impactful on his life than any conflict with other mobsters.

As of November 10, 2025, the movie Never Let Go has reached the Top 10 on Starz, landing at number 10, according to FlixPatrol. The film features Berry and Will Catlett (known from The Mentalist) as parents trying to protect their children in a remote cabin as a sinister force takes over the world. Alexandre Aja (director of Crawl) directed the film, and it shares executive producers with popular shows like Stranger Things and the movie Arrival.

The reality competition show Celebrity Traitors was a huge hit in the U.K., averaging 11.1 million viewers for its finale – that’s about 16% of the country watching live! Streaming numbers are still coming in, suggesting even more people tuned in. What made the U.K. version unique was its cast of well-known actors, comedians, and personalities – people you’d see in dramas and on talk shows, not just typical reality TV stars – and they all played the game with genuine seriousness, revealing unexpected sides of themselves. Think Sir Stephen Fry alongside the lively Celia Imrie, and the surprising game play of Sherlock actor Joe Marler and comedian Alan Carr, who was visibly stressed as a ‘Traitor.’ For American audiences, imagine Morgan Freeman, Meryl Streep, Ken Jennings, Rob Gronkowski, and Nikki Glaser competing in a real-life version of Mafia – Andy Cohen, please make it happen!

During her performance, comedian Hannah Glaser received laughter when she playfully called New York City the “original island” linked to Jeffrey Epstein. Later in the same routine, available on YouTube, she addressed the issue of sex trafficking, referencing a conversation about going to the nail salon with a friend. She joked that it’s difficult to connect with the nail technician, suggesting, “Maybe it’s slavery? I don’t know! She just seems trapped and unhappy.” Glaser also mentioned being “fixated on slavery lately.”

The boxing movie Christy, starring Kate Sweeney as Christy Martin, had a disappointing opening weekend, earning only $1.3 million. Despite being shown in 2,011 theaters across the U.S., the film averaged just $649 per theater. This puts Christy among the lowest-grossing wide releases of all time, landing at No. 12 on Box Office Mojo’s list. Considering its $30-40 million budget, the opening weekend was a significant underperformance. The film also features Emmy-winner Merritt Wever, along with Ben Foster and Ethan Embry.
