While I used to love it, looking back, Friends hasn’t held up as well as I remember, and my views have changed over time. I, like many fans, now have mixed feelings about Ross Geller. He’s a funny character and David Schwimmer did a fantastic job playing him, but there are also aspects of the character that don’t sit as well with me now.
I’m really excited about this new show, Rooster! It’s about Greg Russo, a super successful but overbearing author played by Steve Carell, who basically drops his life to help his daughter, Charly (Charly Clive), get through a tough breakup and some work drama. It’s funny to watch him try to fix things for her, especially because he ends up dealing with his own issues while navigating a college campus and trying to manage his larger-than-life personality. The show also stars Danielle Deadwyler, Phil Dunster, John C. McGinley, and Lauren Tsai, and it’s a really great mix of heartwarming family moments and funny workplace situations, all set against the backdrop of college life with all its quirky characters and politics. It seems like a really charming and relatable story about a complicated father-daughter relationship.

Fans can expect to hear more about The Hunt for Gollum soon, as the movie is currently scheduled to come out in 2027. While the cast hasn’t been revealed yet, rumors suggest we’ll see familiar faces like Gandalf, Aragorn, and Legolas.

Star Wars recently released a new trailer for The Mandalorian & Grogu, and a quick scene showed Pedro Pascal’s Din Djarin without his helmet, facing off against a dangerous, snake-like creature in the water.

Everywhere you look online – from review sites like Rotten Tomatoes to platforms like X and Instagram – people are calling Pixar’s Hoppers their best film since Coco. There’s a big push to convince everyone it’s amazing. It has a high score on Rotten Tomatoes, and its early box office numbers look good compared to other original Pixar films (though it had a longer preview period). Plus, there’s a lot of enthusiastic promotion online, and even characters most people don’t recognize are being hyped as incredibly popular.
