OpenAI released Sora 2 on October 1st, a tool that lets people create short videos. Almost immediately, social media filled with videos inspired by popular Japanese characters and animation styles, referencing franchises like Pokemon, Mario, One Piece, Dragon Ball, and Demon Slayer. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman noted in a blog post how strongly users connected with Japanese content after the launch.
The most recent episode of Matlock was deeply moving, showing Matty remembering a happy time with her daughter before her struggles with addiction worsened and she tragically passed away. The episode featured a delightful performance by Kathy Bates singing Janis Joplin’s “Another Piece of My Heart” during two karaoke scenes, and some great reactions to Matty’s new look. However, the biggest surprise was the unexpected appearance of Melanie Lynskey, which was made even better by the fact that her cameo was kept secret. Despite the strong episode, there are a couple of things that left me feeling disappointed.

Do you remember when Stephen Colbert’s team suggested a segment about Gaza to Zohran Mamdani? To be fair, those pushing Mamdani on the issue weren’t acting in good faith, so responding in kind makes some sense. What really stood out to me during Mamdani’s conversation with Jon Stewart on The Daily Show was that he had enough time at the beginning to discuss important topics seriously, which allowed him to relax and do some lighter segments towards the end. That’s thanks to the length of the interview, but also to Stewart’s skill as an interviewer. He truly connects with his guests, understanding their perspective and asking questions that get to the heart of the matter. Like his recent talk with Bernie Sanders, it was a genuine exchange of ideas.
The series is delving deeper into the origins and story of Pennywise, and the latest episode suggested a possible connection to another well-known Stephen King film.

Years ago, Hollywood generally believed that shared universes – where characters from different shows and movies crossed over – wouldn’t work. However, Warner Bros. Television proved them wrong with the TV show Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman. When ABC canceled that series in 1997, CBS took a chance on a similar concept with Justice League of America, featuring updated versions of heroes like Flash, Green Lantern, and Martian Manhunter. Unfortunately, it didn’t catch on. The attempt at a pilot aired as a movie, and thankfully, CBS didn’t order a full series. Looking back, it was probably a good thing, considering the mixed reception of live-action DC adaptations over the last thirty years. Despite this, dedicated DC fans recorded Justice League of America when it aired on CBS around Christmas and shared those recordings at comic book stores and conventions. Without those unofficial copies, the movie would have been largely forgotten. While Guy Gardner appeared in the film, Nathan Fillion is still the actor most fans associate with that character, as he accurately portrays him from the comic books.
