It centers around Matt (Tim Allen), a car restoration shop owner and recent widower, whose life changes when his long-lost daughter, Riley (Kat Dennings), and her kids move in with him – much to his initial reluctance.
I recently spotted a fun post from Ben Jordan, the actor who brings Peter Parker to life in Insomniac’s Marvel’s Spider-Man games. He shared a picture on Instagram of himself in a motion-capture suit, actually doing Spider-Man’s iconic web-slinging hand gestures! He captioned it with a playful “IYKYK” and a spider emoji – a little wink to the fans who understand the behind-the-scenes work that goes into bringing the character to life. It’s a cool peek behind the curtain, and definitely made me smile.
Recently, Peanuts and Apple have teamed up to produce fresh content featuring the classic Peanuts characters, such as the shows Snoopy in Space and The Snoopy Show.
In 2013, the film Homefront offered a realistic and intense take on action movies, telling a story that is both violent and deeply personal. Jason Statham plays Phil Broker, a former DEA agent who finds himself in a dangerous situation that pushes him to his breaking point. Though it didn’t get much recognition initially, Homefront has since become a well-regarded film and is considered one of Statham’s best performances.

The season 2 finale of High Potential brought several major plotlines to a head, even though the central case wasn’t as captivating as those from season 1. Karadec’s attempt to reconnect with his ex, Lucia, ended badly, and Roman’s storyline saw a new twist, but remains unfinished. However, the most impactful moment of the episode, “Family Tree,” was the shocking death of Nick Wagner, especially considering the news that Steve Howey is leaving the show. Fans will have to wait until the next season to find out what happens next.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, writer Chris Butler explained that the team behind Masters of the Universe aimed to create a positive male role model, much like Barbie has been for girls, stating:
Antoine Fuqua, the director of Michael, is well-known for his work on action movies like Training Day and the Equalizer series, as well as documentaries about Muhammad Ali and the L.A. Lakers. He’s also directed music videos for artists such as Toni Braxton, Prince, and Stevie Wonder. This background in music will be particularly useful in Michael, which features a soundtrack full of iconic songs like “I’ll Be There,” “I Want You Back,” “Beat It,” and “Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough.”
Before becoming a movie star, Chris Pratt appeared in a popular, though not mainstream, TV show called Everwood.

Fans have been waiting a long time for an adaptation of William Gibson’s classic cyberpunk novel, Neuromancer, and it’s finally coming to Apple TV. But surprisingly, Amazon’s Blade Runner: 2099 is shaping up to be an even more ambitious cyberpunk series, and that’s not the biggest surprise surrounding the show.
