The iconic sci-fi show *Doctor Who* recently turned 60, making it one of the longest-running in television history. While the show went off the air for twenty years – with only one TV movie during that time – it returned in 2005 and has remained a popular part of culture ever since. However, recent seasons haven’t been as successful with audiences, and have faced criticism for being overly focused on social issues. The news that Ncuti Gatwa will leave his role as the Doctor after only two seasons has also worried fans about the show’s future.

Kim Kardashian embraced the spooky season with a striking Halloween look!

Oni Press has announced its comic book plans for January 2026, and the details for the second issue of *Rick and Morty: The End* suggest things are looking grim for Rick and Morty.

Hulu has announced that the film *Sovereign*, starring and Jacob Tremblay, will be available to stream starting November 7th. This release is expected to bring the film the attention it has earned.

Okay, let me tell you about “Andy and April’s Fancy Party,” the ninth episode of *Parks and Recreation*’s third season. By this point, the show had really hit its stride – after a bit of a shaky start, they’d found their voice and added Ben and Chris, which was brilliant. But this episode? This one *escalated* things. It gave us a wedding nobody predicted, and honestly, it’s easily one of the best and most unforgettable episodes of the entire series, ranking right up there with classics like “Flu Season” and “The Fight.” Everyone remembers it for cementing Andy and April as a power couple, but what really sticks with me is the cold open. It’s genuinely one of the funniest, most shocking, and… well, slightly disturbing cold opens I’ve *ever* seen on a sitcom, not just *Parks and Rec*. Seriously, it’s iconic.

For some Halloween fans, movies are all about fun and lightheartedness. They might enjoy a thrilling film, but not one that’s truly terrifying. While horror is often linked to Halloween, there are many non-horror movies that still feel perfectly spooky for October.

The 1990s saw a surge of groundbreaking science fiction films, including classics like *Total Recall*, *Jurassic Park*, and *The Matrix*, which all stretched the boundaries of what audiences expected. Among these stood *Contact*, a film Roger Ebert hailed as one of the smartest ever made. Directed by Robert Zemeckis, an Academy Award winner, and starring Jodie Foster, *Contact* went even further, uniquely blending science, faith, and the human quest for purpose.

Despite initially receiving poor reviews and failing to make a profit at the box office—earning only a 57% critics’ score on Rotten Tomatoes and less than double its $15 million budget—*The Craft* has become a beloved classic. Over the past two decades, especially with the growth of social media, it’s found a dedicated following among millennials and now offers younger viewers a nostalgic look at 1990s pop culture, fashion, and feminist themes.

Keanu Reeves is getting a lot of attention right now for his role in the comedy film, *Good Fortune*. He actually injured himself during filming – something unusual for him, especially considering the demanding physical stunts he does for the *John Wick* movies. Reeves explained to Stephen Colbert that he fractured his kneecap – he described it snapping “like a potato chip” – while quickly exiting a cold plunge pool. While the injury itself wasn’t amusing, the films mentioned certainly are.

Back to the Future, a beloved film celebrating its 40th anniversary with a limited re-release next month, is considered a classic by many, and one scene in particular is incredibly famous. The Gibson ES-345 guitar Marty McFly plays in that scene has been lost since filming. Even Michael J. Fox has talked about his unsuccessful search for it.
