As a total movie and TV buff, let me tell you, there’s something amazing happening over on Apple TV right now. They’ve got a bunch of shows that everyone’s talking about – whether you’re in the mood for a real edge-of-your-seat thriller, something to make you laugh out loud, or just a comforting, well-made drama, they’ve got you covered. Seriously, these shows are totally binge-worthy. And the best part? The number one show is a critical darling – it’s ‘Certified Fresh’ on Rotten Tomatoes and a lot of people are calling it a modern masterpiece.

Brandon Sklenar, who’s mentioned he’d love to play Batman in the DC Universe, was asked on the TODAY show about rumors he might be the next actor to take on the role. He admitted it would be a dream come true, sharing that while working in Spain, someone actually called him ‘Batman!’ from the street.

Despite the characters facing their own difficulties, the biggest issues lie with the movie For Good itself – which is disappointing considering it was adapted into two films to ensure the story of Wicked was told completely. You’d expect director Chu to have had ample time to resolve all plot points and answer lingering questions, especially after establishing such a detailed and impressive world in Part One.

For the first time, the film The Whole Bloody Affair is being shown in theaters. It hasn’t been seen publicly since Quentin Tarantino showed it at the Cannes Film Festival around 2006. The film has already earned a perfect 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with both critics and audiences loving it.

Schwarzenegger playfully tricked Ventura, knowing his competitive nature. He convinced Ventura for a short time that his arms were larger than Schwarzenegger’s, a prank that ended with Ventura owing him a bottle of champagne – and perhaps a bruised ego.

Spanning 62 episodes, The Expanse cleverly adapted several novels into a concise and engaging story, while still staying true to its hard science fiction roots. It could have been risky to maintain such a high level of intelligence in a TV show, but fans praised the series’ scientific accuracy, especially at a time when many shows tend to simplify things. The show’s impressive science fiction elements are best appreciated by watching each episode individually.

As a movie critic, I’m keeping a close eye on the proposed Netflix-Warner Bros. deal, and the Writers Guild of America is sounding the alarm. They’ve come out strongly against it, essentially saying it needs to be blocked. Their concern? This $83 billion merger could lead to job losses, lower pay for writers, and ultimately, higher prices for those of us who love to watch movies. It’s a potentially worrying situation for the future of the industry, and the WGA is making its voice heard.

I’m so thrilled to see Wicked: For Good doing so well! It just crossed the $280.2 million mark domestically, and that means it’s officially earned more than Sinners did during its entire run in North America. Sinners made $279.6 million, so Wicked just barely edged it out – what a fantastic achievement!

According to Liam Crowley, Letitia Wright will be in Avengers: Secret Wars. When asked about when filming for Black Panther 3 would begin, Wright initially stated they had just finished Secret Wars, calling it a great experience. She quickly corrected herself, saying it was actually Doomsday they had finished, and that Secret Wars is the next project she’ll be working on. She admitted she mixed the two titles up.

The critically acclaimed series, which received a perfect score from Rotten Tomatoes for its second season, has been renewed for a third season on Apple TV. Starring Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne, the show follows two platonic best friends as they navigate life and reconnect after years of separation.
