The President recently criticized Seth Meyers, calling him a very untalented performer and possibly the worst in television history. He said he watched Meyers’ show for the first time in years and was bothered by a lengthy segment about electric catapults on aircraft carriers – a topic the President has previously criticized, preferring the older, cheaper steam catapults. He described the segment as rambling and suggested NBC is wasting resources on someone with ‘no talent, no ratings’ who is strongly opposed to him, implying this opposition might be unlawful.

During a conversation with ScreenRant’s Ash Crossan, director Dan Trachtenberg shared that an initial idea for Predator: Badlands involved the Predator hunting Nazis. This concept came about as Trachtenberg explored ways to position the Predator as the hero of the story. To make the Predator victorious, he needed to find a group of villains that audiences wouldn’t want to see succeed.

Cowboy Bebop was widely praised and helped introduce many Western viewers to anime in the late 1990s. Though often described as a space western, the show successfully mixes science fiction, action, and drama, all within a stylish, dark atmosphere. Its success naturally led to a live-action adaptation on Netflix, but unfortunately, it didn’t live up to the original. The 2021 series failed to capture what made Cowboy Bebop so special, likely because trying to perfectly copy something unique is a recipe for disaster.

Variety reports that David Ellison’s leadership at Paramount is aiming to create a fresh Star Trek film. This won’t be a continuation of the previous movies starring Chris Pine, Zoe Saldaña, and the original reboot cast, but rather a brand new story.

The popular Disney+ series The Mandalorian—which will be the foundation for the 2026 film The Mandalorian and Grogu—was a huge hit. Its success opened the door for Star Wars to explore television storytelling in a brand new way.

BT Meza’s film, “Affection,” starts strong with a visually appealing and intriguing opening scene. Jessica Rothe, a gifted actress often overlooked, delivers a compelling performance, showcasing the skills she’s demonstrated in films like “La La Land” and “Happy Death Day.” While the film begins promisingly, it gradually loses its momentum. The problem isn’t the story idea or the acting, but rather a needlessly complex plot that ultimately raises more questions than it answers.

Typically, network TV saves its best comedies for later in the year, but 2025 is different. This fall, the new show St. Denis Medical is leading the charge, and it’s all about the lives of the doctors and nurses who work there. TopMob recently chatted with the show’s stars – Alison Tolman, Mekki Lepper, Kaliko Kauahi, Wendi McLendon-Covey, and Kahyun Kim – to mark the beginning of Season 2.

I was watching Stephen Colbert interview Tom Hanks about his new play, and it hit me – it’s been three decades since Toy Story first came out! Colbert pointed out how long it’s been since we all met Woody, Buzz, and the gang. But Hanks quickly turned it around and started talking about how much longer it’s been for everyone who actually made the movie – the cast and crew. It’s easy to forget that for them, it’s been thirty years of memories and a whole life chapter tied to that film.

Even the most beloved TV comedies have a few weak episodes, and sometimes even a whole season that isn’t very good. It’s common for shows to have ups and downs over many seasons, but often they bounce back and regain their quality.
