The 1970s paved the way for low-budget films to become popular, and the 1980s continued this trend with a wealth of movies that didn’t receive much attention at the time. While the decade gave us many classic hits like *Back to the Future*, *The Empire Strikes Back*, and *Die Hard*, there were also numerous excellent films that deserve a second look.
Although Laura Linney has received numerous awards throughout her career, the 1996 legal thriller *The Juror* was not well-received. In fact, she won a Golden Raspberry Award (a Razzie) for her performance in it. Despite earning only $22 million in theaters, *The Juror* will be available to stream on Hulu starting November 1st.
Jessica Ritter, who will appear in the 2025 film *Stone Cold Fox*, recently spoke with *Phase Hero* and Marvel Studios’ Brad Winderbaum about her time playing Jessica Jones. When host Brandon Davis asked if she believed the series was truly finished at the time, she answered:
The fourth episode of *NCIS: Sydney* Season 3, called “The Truth is Outback,” will premiere on CBS sometime before the end of 2025, but the exact date is still to come. When asked about filming in the Outback, actress Swann shared the following:
As a huge TV fan, I know Ryan Murphy’s basically everywhere with his scripted shows – everything from spooky series like *Monster* and *American Horror Story* to dramas like *9-1-1*. He’s not usually the guy you think of with reality TV, but apparently he tried to get a reality show off the ground with the Kardashians! He was talking about it at the premiere of *All’s Fair* (according to *The Hollywood Reporter*), and let’s just say the pitch didn’t exactly go as planned. He went on to explain what happened…
If you’re a Spider-Man fan who enjoys scary stories – think zombies, body horror, or sci-fi thrillers – you’ll find some truly great Spider-Man comics that are perfect for getting you in the Halloween spirit.
Watching *Dragon Ball* become such a massive hit, I realized there’s a lot going on behind the scenes, and it’s not always simple to wrap things up. I’ve heard that Toriyama actually thought about ending *Dragon Ball Z* a few times, but he kept going. While there’s still plenty to enjoy in the later parts of *Dragon Ball Z*, it seems pretty clear he wasn’t as invested as he once was.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has been divided into two large story arcs: the Infinity Saga and the Multiverse Saga. James Gunn’s new DC Universe (DCU) is organizing its stories into Chapters, starting with “Chapter 1: Gods and Monsters.” However, this doesn’t mean DCU will abandon the idea of larger sagas altogether; in fact, they’re still planned.
While *Game of Thrones* is famous for killing off a huge number of characters, another show actually features even more brutal deaths. *Spartacus*, a historical drama on the Starz network (known for shows like *Outlander* and *Black Sails*), stands out because almost every named character who dies meets a particularly gruesome end – often involving dismemberment, beheading, crucifixion, flaying, disembowelment, or death in gladiatorial combat.
Samara Weaving, who starred in movies like Scream VI and Ready or Not, is a fan favorite to play Harley Quinn in the new DC Universe. Many people have noted the resemblance between Weaving and Margot Robbie, who previously played the character. When asked about potentially taking over the role, Weaving expressed surprise at being the fans’ choice, acknowledging that Robbie left “big shoes to fill.” Weaving praised Robbie’s performance as Harley Quinn, saying she “really knocked it out of the park,” and admitted she wasn’t sure she could do as well.
