It’s hard to live in the shadow of a masterpiece like ‘Dune: Part Two.’ PLUS: The ‘live’-action Stitch stomps through a teaser, ‘Skeleton Crew’ premieres early, and Seth Meyers and family celebrate Thanksgiving.
The social contract has been shredded. PLUS: No ‘Star Wars’ in December 2026, Conan O’Brien to host the Oscars, and trailers for ‘Elio’ and the live-action ‘How to Train Your Dragon’ remake.
A new trailer for ‘Mufasa’ makes me wonder who Disney’s live-action remakes are for. PLUS: Trailers for ‘Thunderbolts*,’ ‘Captain America’ and ‘Mission: Impossible, and maybe that new ‘Star Wars’ trilogy is about Rey?
Fox’s X-Men guru will reportedly take a swing at ‘Star Wars.’ PLUS: ‘Stranger Things’ teases final season, ‘Moana 2’ sails toward massive box office, and we’re getting a ‘Godzilla Minus One’ sequel.
The Disney+ series wrapped up in spectacular fashion. PLUS: Jon Stewart sticks around, Marvel’s 2025 preview, and Dave Chappelle isn’t hosting the post-election ‘SNL.’
Does anyone drop an f-bomb better than Matt Berry? PLUS: ‘Blade’ gets pulled from the calendar, Holland joins Nolan’s latest, and Iger will leave in 2026. Seriously this time.
Thanks to the unrated horror film, the animated classic is getting some bonus bucks. PLUS: A new trailer for ‘Dune: Prophecy,’ Gunn introduces Krypto, and The Rock teases a JJ Abrams project.
We dodged a bullet on one of these, ‘SNL’ fans. PLUS: Mulaney gets a Netflix show, ‘Lanterns’ locks down its leads, and what caused the ‘Joker’ fiasco?
‘The Rings of Power’ Season 2 wrapped up with its best episode. PLUS: A trailer for final ‘What We Do in the Shadows’ season, they’re making a ‘live-action’ ‘Rugrats’ movie, and Bane and Deathstroke team up?
I love this film. PLUS: All the movie trailers! ‘Thunderbolts*’! ‘Sinners’! ‘The Last of Us’! ‘Ballerina’! ‘Gladiator II’! ‘Red One’!
Is ‘SNL’ abandoning James Austin Johnson as Trump? PLUS: Disney Animation gets a new COO, a bunch of Robert Pattinson clones head to theaters, and do people want to watch ‘Hot Ones’ live?
It’s unprecedented — and ridiculous — for Disney to have an animated and live-action version of a franchise at the same time. PLUS: The final trailer for ‘The Wild Robot,’ and the ‘Shang-Chi’ director swings over to Spider-Man.
