Minority Mindset

As a huge movie fan, October was a fantastic month! We finally got to see films I’d been waiting for, like Tron: Ares, the sequel to The Black Phone, and the documentary Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere. There were also some really interesting picks like the romantic drama Regretting You and Yorgos Lanthimos’ new film, Bugonia. Plus, I was thrilled to hear Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein was getting a limited theatrical run. And November is shaping up to be just as exciting, with Edgar Wright’s latest and the second part of Wicked both heading to cinemas – I can’t wait!

The Knockout round is happening now on The Voice, and it’s clear how much Snoop Dogg values the connection he has with his team. He often calls them his “family,” and refers to team members as his “niece” and “nephew.” Snoop Dogg explained to NBC that building those relationships is the most rewarding part of being a coach.

Regretting You is the newest in a series of over-the-top romantic dramas where love stories play out against a backdrop of tragedy. Thankfully, it avoids the heavy emotional weight and real-life drama of last year’s It Ends With Us, and doesn’t depict abusive relationships. The story centers on two couples: Morgan and Chris, and Morgan’s sister Jenny and Jonah. They have a teenage daughter, Clara, who’s involved in school theater. When Chris and Jenny unexpectedly die in a car accident, Morgan and Jonah discover they were secretly having an affair with each other. The film blends humor, sadness, and, of course, features some prominent product placements.

While a cast featuring many social media stars, individuals known from the polygamist reality show ‘Sister Wives,’ and a charming late-night personality has attracted younger viewers, the real reason for Dancing with the Stars‘ success this fall goes back to a decision made by Disney in early 2023. Dana Walden, recently appointed co-chair of Disney Entertainment to oversee both streaming and traditional TV, unexpectedly changed course. Her predecessors had planned to move DWTS exclusively to the Disney+ streaming service, but Walden brought it back to ABC.
