A new behind-the-scenes video, posted on X, gives fans a first look at the famous Hogwarts Express train. The upcoming Harry Potter show is expected to feature the train often during its planned ten-season run. This offers a sneak peek at a key element of the series.

Many of today’s most famous horror movies were initially ignored, not understood, or even laughed at when they first came out. Over time, however, people began to see them differently, recognizing them as groundbreaking or cult classics. It’s common for these films to be re-evaluated years later and gain the appreciation they deserve. This phenomenon highlights how tastes can change!

A recent report by insider Daniel Richtman uncovered an unexpected link to Wolverine in the forthcoming Vision Quest series. The Marvel insider claims the 2026 streaming show will feature Madripoor, a well-known location from the comics frequently connected to Marvel’s clawed mutant.

Featuring Meg Donnelly and Drake Rodger as Mary Campbell and John Winchester, The Winchesters is set in the 1970s. Told from the perspective of Jensen Ackles – who famously played Dean in Supernatural – this prequel explains how Mary and John first met, fell in love, and began their lives hunting monsters. While the basic idea is straightforward, the show became unnecessarily complex because it takes place in an alternate universe within a larger multiverse, which confused many viewers.

The $55 billion agreement, initially revealed earlier this week, will result in EA becoming a private company. This will be led by the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia, working with Silver Lake and Affinity Partners. It’s reported that EA will also take on $20 billion in debt to complete the deal. Experts have differing opinions – some believe this could lead to growth, while others consider the move to be a gamble that primarily benefits those involved.

As you’ll recall from last week’s episode, Sofia and Rainey seem to be plotting something, giving the trio two potential subjects they’re free to discuss on their podcast, thanks to their Wondify contract. On a brighter note, Sofia gave Charles back his phone with no problems, and he’s moved on – now he’s back on dating apps, looking for a new relationship. It seems he’s eager to find someone!

As a longtime fan, I’m thrilled to hear that the original UPN/CW series – you know, the one made entirely by Warner Bros. Television – is coming to Plex! It’s a bit of a bummer though, because if you recently canceled your Hulu subscription, you won’t be able to watch *everything*. This deal doesn’t include the revival season that was made specifically for Hulu, or even the fan-funded film from 2013 that came before it. So, if you’re a completist like me, you’ll still need another subscription to see it all. But let’s be honest, don’t we all usually prefer the original run anyway?

Shane Black’s screenwriting work on films like Lethal Weapon, The Last Boy Scout, and The Long Kiss Goodnight brought him significant financial success and also made him known for the over-the-top violence common in 1980s and 90s action movies. Now, Play Dirty feels like a return to the witty dialogue and over-the-top action that first made him famous. However, it almost feels like it’s trying to outdo a style of filmmaking that isn’t really made anymore-it’s as if it comes from a different reality where American action movies became increasingly violent, eventually reaching the extreme level seen in Play Dirty.
