Superman and Loishas told an incredible story, but the final season of theDC Universeseries has seemingly been impacted by some cast departures, one of which has left me very confused.After the events ofSuperman & Loisseason 4,episode 7, it seems like one glaring story omission won’t be addressed in the series. With all that has happened to Clark and Lois’ family, including fundamental changes to Superman’s story and several major character deaths, it remains to be seen if a key family member has been entirely forgotten....

Summary An announcement about a significant change ahead ofGhostsseason 4 worries me that the series will break itself in the fall. The American version of the BritishGhostsseries on the BBC premiered on CBS in 2021. It followed many elements of the original sitcom, including its central premise. In the American series, Sam, played by Rose McIver, can see ghosts due to a near-death accident, while her husband can’t. That said, if the American series commits to the twist teased ahead ofGhostsseason 4, it will diverge from its original inspiration in an elemental way....

ThoughThe Golden Bachelorwas must-watch television and a huge hit with audiences, I’m convinced that Gerry Turner regrets agreeing to be the show’s lead. The retired restaurateur, who recently turned 73 years old, lived a life of relative obscurity before being cast as the first lead of theBachelorspin-off. He lived in an Indiana lake house that he built with his late wife, Toni Turner, before she passed away in 2017. Gerry, a father and grandfather, threw himself into philanthropic work, and I bet he wishes he’d focused on that instead of agreeing to beThe Golden Bachelor....

After being skeptical aboutGeorgie & Mandy’s First Marriagesince it was announced, an unexpectedYoung Sheldonupdate has convinced me to give it a fair shot. Having spearheadedThe Big Bang Theoryuniverse’s coverage forScreen Rant, I have closely followed any updates leading toYoung Sheldon’s cancelationand its aftermath. While I think that Chuck Lorre and his team mainly did agreat job wrapping up Sheldon’s childhood in Texas, I can confidently say that the series could have continued after seven seasons....

Summary The horrifying climax ofImmaculateis punctuated by a single shot with a long, guttural scream so raw it lingers long after the credits roll. This visceral vocal performance by Sydney Sweeney is atestament to the raw emotion in the movie, which she also produced. But it’s not just the acting that elevates the movie – the film’s sound design definesImmaculate’s gory and unhinged horror. Often overlooked,sound effects are the unsung heroes of cinema, capable of creating heart-pounding suspense or absolute dread....

Nearly 30 years since its premiere,Neon Genesis Evangelionremains one of the most popular and successful franchises in anime. Its iconic characters are as recognizable as the giant mechs they pilot, and have been kept relevant bya series of theatrical filmsthat finally wrapped up in 2021. Each teenage pilot helped to popularize their own character archetype, from the dejected protagonist, to the aloof blue-haired girl and the tsundere. However, for as influential and popular asEvangelion’s characters have been for the better part of three decades,the most important cast member is also the most divisive....

This review was originally published during the 2024 Venice Film Festival. WhenJokerpremiered here in Venice in 2019, one of the prevailing narratives was that the movie could be dangerous. The film’s embrace of Arthur Fleck’s perspective, the thinking went, might inspire disgruntled young men to commit acts of real-life violence. In reality, what toxicity it generated emerged as memes instead of movements, but this seems to have impacted the filmmakers enough to makeJoker: Folie à Deuxabout that very idea....

Kit Harington’sGame of Thronesreplacement show is proving an impressive follow-up for the actor, butthat realization only makes hisshelved Jon Snow spinoffeven sadder. Harington is one of the most recognizable stars from HBO’s hit fantasy series, as his performance as Jon Snow made him a household name. Perhaps it’s no surprise that HBO considered making a spinoff based on his character, but in April 2024, Harington revealed that theJon Snow sequel is no longer in development....

Warning! Spoilers ahead for the NCIS: Origins premiere.TheNCIS: Originspremiere proves that the marketing for the film lied about what it’s really about and how it connects to Mark Harmon’s Leroy Jethro Gibbs. For 19 years, the no-nonsense leader of the Major Case Response Team in Washington DC was the face of the CBS police procedural. Even as theNCISuniverseevolved,Harmon’s Gibbs remained central to its storytelling, so losing him in 2021 was a big turning point....
