Now they’re turning their attention to Hawkins, Indiana.Varietyreports that the studio is working on aStranger Thingsvideo game for consoles and PC. For those unfamiliar with the Telltale games, they’re basically interactive stories where you choose various dialogue options to steer the path of the narrative and the characters. Sometimes it works incredibly well, like inThe Walking Deadgame, and other times it feels like they’re aping the tone but not the positives of the source material, as was the case with the largely miserableGame of Thronesadaptation....

2023 has been a complicated year for television already, to say the least.

Sci-fiis a massive and vastly flexible genre that even includes its own sub-genres, likespace exploration,alien horror, speculativetechnology, and robotics. But at the core of the wide range of topics that fall under this umbrella is a genuine exploration of the human condition. When diving into the fears, aspirations, and folly of man, it’s always best when a film gets to do it without the constraints of ratings censorship, and streamers like Netflix don’t hold back, making sure audiences can have the most visceral experience of the social commentary....

If you’re looking for something fun and uplifting to take your mind off of how terrible 2020 has been, may I suggest watchingRyan Murphy’sstar-studded adaptation of the hit Broadway musicalThe Prom.

Vin Diesel, a man of the people, and a man of sequels. On his social media accounts this weekend, Diesel started getting fans revved up for two sequels — one expected, one unexpected — that he will be starting in coming up.

One thing we will gladly take as well?Denise Richardshaving her own reality show again.Denise Richards & Her Wild Thingshad its series premiere a couple of weeks ago, but if anything,it feels more like a reboot of all of our favorite shows from the 2000s.
