Minority Mindset

Prepare yourself for a visually intense and often disturbing experience. The new series is upfront about its fascination with sex, featuring explicit imagery. However, the true shock comes from the transformation people undergo after being infected with “The Beauty” – they emerge with dramatically altered bodies, becoming tan, muscular, or with exaggerated features, all from unsettling, pulsating sacs. The show heavily relies on body horror, with slimy and squelching effects clearly inspired by films like Alien, Suspiria, and The Substance, pushing the boundaries of gross-out visuals. It’s hard to tell if the series genuinely cares about its characters or simply enjoys subjecting them to extreme situations – a trademark characteristic of its creators’ work.

In an interview on the Inside of You with Michael Rosenbaum podcast, Wilson shared that he believes George McFly was actually more central to the first Back to the Future film than Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox). He also expressed understanding of Danny Glover’s decision not to return for the sequels, and felt the later films weren’t as strong without him.

Three films – All About Eve, Titanic, and La La Land – share the record for the most Oscar nominations in a single year, with 14 each. This year, Sinners has a strong chance of equaling or breaking that record, especially with the addition of a new Casting category. Ryan Coogler’s film is a strong contender in many areas, from acting to technical categories like sound and makeup. It’s almost certain to be nominated for Best Picture, Director, and Original Screenplay, and has multiple potential acting nominees: Michael B. Jordan is a likely Best Actor contender, while Wunmi Mosaku and Miles Caton were nominated for Screen Actors Guild Awards, and Delroy Lindo received an award from AARP Movies for Grownups.

The argument between two players escalated to a heated exchange at the roundtable, where Rapaport went too far. He yelled at Underwood, referencing his past on The Bachelor and implying Underwood was hiding something about his personal life. The other contestants immediately criticized Rapaport, who had previously made offensive comments, for what they saw as a homophobic remark. Although Rapaport claimed he didn’t mean it that way, the group quickly voted him out of the game. He later said he regretted the incident, stating he didn’t want to cause Underwood any stress or bring negativity to The Traitors.

According to Deadline, a new horror-comedy called Kenan & Kel Meet Frankenstein is about two delivery drivers whose ordinary delivery takes a terrifying turn when they accidentally bring Frankenstein’s monster to life at a haunted castle.

The surprise reveal of Grogu—affectionately known as “baby Yoda”—at the end of the first episode of The Mandalorian completely took everyone by surprise. Remarkably, there were no prior leaks or spoilers, and it instantly transformed the Star Wars universe. That kind of powerful storytelling is rare and memorable. If Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni could achieve such a massive impact with just one TV episode, it’s exciting to consider what they could accomplish with a full-length movie.
