Horror movies dealing with the supernatural are tough to make work because they rely on things that aren’t possible, aiming to frighten viewers with the impossible. While ghost stories are consistently popular, a particularly good one from the 1980s has been largely forgotten. Unfortunately, it currently has a surprisingly low rating on Rotten Tomatoes, which doesn’t reflect its quality.
As you’ll remember, the last season of Mayor of Kingstown was marked by significant loss. Several major characters died, including Warden Kareem, mob bosses Konstantin and Milo, and Iris, who Mike McLusky had been trying to help. The season also ended with Mike’s brother, Kyle, being arrested after shooting a fellow officer, Robert Sawyer, known for his violent behavior. It was a deadly season, and many important players are now gone.
I’m a huge Bruce Springsteen fan, particularly of his raw and intimate 1982 album, Nebraska, so I was incredibly excited to hear about Scott Cooper’s new film, Deliver Me From Nowhere. This highly anticipated biopic, recently added to the 2025 release schedule, stars Jeremy Allen White as Springsteen, portraying his struggles with past experiences and self-discovery right before he achieves widespread fame.
Following the explosive end to season 3 – which saw key figures in the Russian mafia killed, the former prison warden murdered, and Kyle shooting Robert – this season focuses on the aftermath. Picking up a few weeks later, things are quickly spiraling out of control.
Intelligence, gleaned from the oracles at Arkham, reveals this resourceful fellow – known only as “0xc2a” – did lay his wagers just before the market decided to recall its senses. And lo, Bitcoin and Ethereum did, in fact, ascend, gaining a modest 4% and 2% respectively. A stroke of luck? Perhaps. Or, as I suspect, a delightful case of knowing which way the wind blows.💨

Harrison Ford has been a major Hollywood star since the 1970s, appearing in many critically acclaimed films. He started with smaller parts in movies like Apocalypse Now and The Conversation, and later took on leading roles in films such as Patriot Games. Few actors can match his impressive career. In the 1980s, he found success in the thriller genre with two now-classic movies – one a surprisingly overlooked mystery, and the other worthy of an Academy Award. More recently, he’s shown his comedic side in shows like Shrinking, but it’s always worth remembering his earlier, more dramatic work to understand why he’s such a beloved actor.
Even though many Stephen King stories have been adapted for film and television, Carrie remains a truly iconic and influential work. The story and the movie are packed with memorable scenes that still appear in modern media. What makes Carrie so effective is its ability to balance genuine horror with the relatable struggles of being a teenager – something many viewers connect with. Almost 50 years after its release, Brian De Palma’s Carrie is still considered one of the scariest and most successful adaptations of King’s writing. Its enduring popularity is why it’s still talked about today and admired by filmmakers like Quentin Tarantino. The movie essentially paved the way for future adaptations, demonstrating the power and potential of bringing Stephen King’s stories to life on screen.
The fact that Aang needed to learn waterbending, earthbending, and firebending naturally divided Avatar: The Last Airbender into three clear sections, making for a well-structured story. Because of this, the show is often praised for having a particularly strong and cohesive plot, and even episodes that seemed like detours contributed to the overall narrative.
