I always find it amusing when legal jargon I’ve learned over the years appears in TV shows. Words like “collateral estoppel” – it’s a beautiful-sounding phrase, even if it’s confusing to most people. But for those in the know, it’s a powerful tool. It’s phrases like these that help me understand why lawyers are so passionate about their profession; they essentially get to use language as a kind of magic.
Julia is standing next to her, wearing a dress that matches in both color and fabric. It’s an odd thought – can a dress *have* a consistency? – but this one definitely did. A small scarf around her neck adds a touch of flair, making her look like an opera singer – which she isn’t, though she plays one on television. Larsa is definitely being Larsa, in a tight-fitting, pastel dress. It feels a bit young for her, and perhaps a little cheap, and it oddly makes her face look fuller than usual. She’s beautiful, but this outfit doesn’t quite work for me. Alexia, on the other hand, looks amazing in yellow – a great color, a flattering fit, and a perfect dress. Meanwhile, Todd is probably at home feeling jealous and reaching for lotion and tissues.
During a recent interview about her upcoming film, *Queens of the Dead* (releasing later this month), actress O’Brian – who is hoping to work with Dave Bautista – revealed she wasn’t involved in *The Mandalorian & Grogu*. When asked by Polygon if she’d been contacted about returning as Elia Kane, she responded:
After the first season of *Matlock* revealed that Julian had concealed the Wellbrexa document Matty was seeking, the storyline became even more complex. Now, in the fall of 2025, Olympia’s choice to protect the father of her children has shifted the focus of the investigation to Senior. Only two episodes into Season 2, Matty and Olympia have already repeatedly changed their minds about whether they’ll cooperate with each other.
Often overlooked, the 1997 film *The Night Flier* is based on a Stephen King short story originally published in 1988 and later included in his 1993 collection, *Nightmares and Dreamscapes*. It was one of only two films directed by Mark Pavia, and starred Miguel Ferrer, known for *Twin Peaks*. While it only received a 33% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, many consider it a more faithful adaptation of the story than any other.
At their heart, slasher films are all about shocking visuals and the fight to survive. They feel like scary stories told around a campfire, especially those from the age of VHS tapes, where even simple beginnings quickly turn incredibly violent. While the first movies in these series are often the most celebrated, it’s the sequels where things really get creative. The 1980s were a fantastic period for horror franchises, and slasher sequels became incredibly popular. Studios built on successful formulas, increased the gore, and weren’t afraid to get really over-the-top. Characters like Freddy became more comedic, Jason kept returning, and killers started using bizarre weapons. It was a time of pushing boundaries, and that led to some surprisingly good, yet often overlooked, movies.
It looks like this season will wrap up while the cast is on their trip, just like past seasons of both *The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills* and *The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City*. This means the women need to resolve their personal issues while they’re still in Orange County. While Josh Flagg and Josh Altman haven’t sold Heather Dubrow’s house yet on the show, it actually sold in August for $16.5 million. Emily’s son Luke finally has a diagnosis, giving her a treatment plan and easing her worries as a parent. Tamra’s daughter has a new boyfriend, which has been her main personal storyline this season. Meanwhile, Gina has a conversation with Cowboy Travis about his parenting and his ex’s behavior. They seem like the most genuine people on Bravo, and I think they (along with Archie Beador) deserve to be shielded from the drama.
Season 2 of *Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage* is back, starting where the last season left off: with Georgie and Ruben now owners of Jim’s tire shop. They’re quickly discovering they have very different ideas about how to run the business, and a nod to *The Big Bang Theory* suggests this could create problems for their relationship in the future.
Policymakers and crypto firms, in a shocking display of coordination (or sheer panic), are scrambling to slap rules on stablecoins-those digital chameleons that might one day pay your rent. Ripple’s latest manifesto, penned by Rahul Advani and Caren Tso (because every corporate duo needs a rhyming pair), breathlessly declares: “Let’s make stablecoins boring again!”
Berserk: The Golden Age is the second anime adaptation of the popular manga’s Golden Age arc, following a previous series from 1997. This version aims to be a more accurate retelling of the story. It was originally released as a trilogy of films, then later compiled into a 13-episode anime series – and that’s what you’ll find on the Memorial Edition Blu-ray. While the story is closer to the manga, opinions varied on the animation style, which combines classic 2D with 3D computer graphics. Despite this, both the films and the original series were generally well-received, and this Blu-ray is a great way to enjoy one of the best story arcs in the fantasy genre.
