Cboe, the derivatives exchange under the very serious-sounding Chicago Board Options Exchange, announced on a Tuesday-which clearly means it’s official-that these contracts are slated for launch on November 10. Of course, provided that regulatory overlords give the green light, because apparently, even the Wild West of crypto needs a chaperone.
Despite the television series, “Alien: Earth,” Noah Hawley delves deeper into concepts that were subtly suggested in the original “Alien.” While it’s arguable that his approach can sometimes feel heavy-handed, as he brings the underlying themes of the original more to the forefront. In this week’s episode titled “The Fly,” there are instances where the dialogues may seem overly direct and awkwardly inserted, as if Hawley was hurriedly trying to elucidate some key themes before the season’s conclusion.
Marvel Studios recently unveiled a fresh trailer and artwork for their upcoming R-rated Disney+ series titled Marvel Zombies. The poster showcases an undead army, with well-known heroes from the MCU like Okoye in the foreground. The trailer hints at a storyline where either all Avengers are deceased or transformed into zombies, causing pandemonium.
Michelle Nader, the creative head of the sitcom, chatted with US Weekly about the direction of Season 2 for Matt and Kat Dennings’ character Riley, as well as their connections with other characters. Since Eve, played by Jenna Elfman, developed a strong bond with Riley by the finale, it was natural that their relationship would be discussed.

Now, some people with far too much time on their hands (shoutout to Lookonchain and other “on-chain analytic tools” – seriously, a hobby!?) are tracking BlackRock’s every move. Apparently, they’ve noticed BlackRock dumping a significant amount of crypto onto Coinbase in the last couple of days. It’s like watching someone slowly realize they bought Beanie Babies in 1998.
Just like Love Island, the new version of the show focuses on the ex-contestants as they navigate relationships and avoid elimination in real life. Viewers can participate by voting through an app. Our reality TV pros might find this easy, but the reward is certainly worth it – the winning pair divides $100,000.

According to the crypto gossip columns (aka media outlets), Solana’s generated $1.25 billion in revenue this year. That’s 2.5 times Ethereum’s haul. BNB Smart Chain and Bitcoin? Cute, but they’re at $148 million and $135 million respectively. Layer-2s like Base, Arbitrum, and Polygon? Sweeties, they’re still figuring out their highlighters. 🖍️

In an impressive feat for a 2025 film, Andrew DeYoung’s “Friendship” manages to use Tim Robinson’s unique comic talent in an unexpected manner. Instead of his renowned work in cringe-comedy like “I Think You Should Leave,” he delves into a full-length movie reminiscent of “Fatal Attraction.” Remarkably, Robinson maintains his style without veering off course. His unusual portrayal is so compelling that it leaves me questioning whether I truly grasped the challenging film or found it too uncomfortable to watch.
If you share my enthusiasm for Outlander, you’ll likely acknowledge that while we appreciate the romance, battles, and other delightful aspects of the series, it’s hard to ignore the intense and distressing experiences the characters have endured over time. The 2025 TV lineup is set to offer more of these elements with the prequel, Outlander: Blood of My Blood, and just learning about the ordeal Hermione Corfield faced during the birthing scene has already left me quite anxious.
