In today’s entertainment climate, TV shows don’t last for long. The culture brought about by Netflix means that shows are churned out and are often cancelled prematurely. Our culture has become more consumerist, and it’s rare for shows to achieve longevity, usually only running for a few seasons before audiences move onto something else or streaming services are looking for the next big hit. Alternatively, the miniseries has become the most popular TV show format, adapting successfully to viewers’ screening habits and desires....

Films about love and romance are ever-abundant, but movies that truly depict the lives of married people realistically are few and far between. These films don’t come too often, but they manage to capture the essence of what it’s like to be in a committed relationship and the hardships that come with that in a way that is relatable to everyone. Movies like these don’t try to force an opinion, but rather just exist as an exhibition of reality without judgment....

Knocked Up director Judd Apatow has announced that he will soon be making a sequel to the sort-of-sequel-spinoff, This is 40, with stars Leslie Mann and Paul Rudd both due to return. Released back in 2012, Apatow revealed while speaking with The Wrap that the follow-up would pick up in real-time, some ten years after the events of the first outing. And, the This is 40 sequel will be given an unsurprising, yet pretty perfect, title....

The Good This is legitimately one of the best shows on television. The Bad No commentary tracks from any of the actors or creators. Charlie Harper (Charlie Sheen) lives on the beach, doesn’t work much, and sleeps around with many beautiful women. His brother Alan (Jon Cryer) is bounced out of his home by his wife and only gets to see his son Jake (Angus T. Jones) on the weekends. In the “Pilot” episode we come to understand how he takes up residence in Charlie’s house....

The Walking Dead is easily one of the biggest shows on TV, both cable and broadcast, with tens of millions of fans tuning in. As the show has grown in popularity, the hit zombie series has branched out into video games, theme park attractions such as Halloween Horror Nights and even a spinoff series Fear the Walking Dead, set on the West Coast. While fans wait for Season 7 to debut this fall, Robert Kirkman, who created the comic books the show is based on, has found himself trying to shut down a restaurant in New Jersey that’s trying to infringe on his trademark....

Actor Walton Goggins is best known to audiences for brilliantly portraying Detective Vic Mackey’s tragically doomed partner, Detective Shane Vendrell, for seven seasons on FX’s critically acclaimed series, The Shield. Fans of the series will never forget the shocking way his character’s arc ended last year when Vendrell, rather than going to jail and facing the consequences of his actions, committed a murder-suicide with his wife and young child. In fact, the actor received a Television Critics Award nomination this year for Best Individual Achievement in Drama for his work on the show....

It is one year since WandaVision kicked off Phase 4 of the MCU with a unique and intriguing introduction to the classic sitcom-based world of Wanda Maximoff and her husband Vision. Over the following weeks, Marvel Studios worked its magic to turn the strange setup into a full-blown MCU action blockbuster that delivered a brilliantly written character study of Elizabeth Olsen’s Wanda as she handled the grief of losing Vision and discovered her true potential as Scarlet Witch, as well as also setting up the arrival of a number of future characters and returning faces to the MCU, including the instant fan favorite of Agatha Harkness....

It’s not a hot take to say that the COVID-19 pandemic has been a net negative for humanity as a whole. However, it would be a lie to pretend that no positives have emerged out of a mostly awful situation. Whether it’s forging deeper bonds with the (few) people around you or taking advantage of remote work, some coronavirus adaptations have been surprisingly welcome. Take, for example, film festivals. After the super-spreader event that was the 2020 edition of Sundance, it was immediately clear that a traditional event would not work in the new normal....

The new trailer for Spider-Man: No Way Home certainly came with some big reveals and official confirmations, but one big question remains: are Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield in the movie? At this point, it feels like it’s a given that both actors will appear in the movie when it hits theaters next month, even if nobody involved wants to admit it before then. Fans are still convinced the actors will be back after the new trailer didn’t show either one of them....

Indian horror films have long followed a tradition that, although essential in entertaining the audience, fails to provide them with jump scares. Masking the horror with humor caused these films to lose their originality, and some examples are Bhul Bhulaiya, Bhoot Police, and Roohi. Sure, some Indian horror films focus solely on scary elements and deliver the desired content to fans. However, as we become acclimated to modern horror comedies, most of them are being forgotten....
