Many adults still enjoy dressing up in costumes for Halloween, and Zooey Deschanel and Jonathan Scott are definitely among them. The actress known for 500 Days of Summer and her HGTV star fiancé (who got engaged in 2023) seem to make it an annual tradition. Jonathan, one half of the famous Canadian home renovation twins, recently went to Instagram to ask his followers for costume ideas.
I’m seeing AI pop up in all sorts of fields, but honestly, I don’t think it has a place in anime. As a fan, I believe most people will ultimately turn away from AI-generated anime – it just can’t capture the same quality and artistry as work done by human artists, and I don’t see that changing. Right now, those trying to push AI into anime seem a bit misguided, and I suspect that’s how history will remember them in a few years.
Though Lucasfilm leaders Kathleen Kennedy, Carrie Beck, and Dave Filoni were enthusiastic about the project, Disney CEO Bob Iger and co-chairman Alan Bergman ultimately rejected it. Their main concern was the storyline’s depiction of Ben Solo’s survival – they didn’t believe it was plausible.
Despite a rocky start, strong reviews and positive buzz quickly showed there was an audience for a show that offered genuine humor and realistic drama. Nobody Wants This received three Emmy nominations – for its lead actors and for outstanding comedy – and has been renewed for a second season, debuting October 23, 2025. This fast renewal is rare for streaming shows, but viewers might want to refresh their memories of Joanne and Noah’s backstory before the new season begins.
James McCracken and Joel Courtney star in Soul on Fire, alongside John Corbett (known from And Just Like That), Stéphanie Szostak (A Million Little Things), and William H. Macy.

Early 2000s horror films were often more silly than scary, but still received attention from major studios. However, 2003 stood out as a particularly good year for action-packed, gothic horror. Kate Beckinsale’s film arrived at just the right moment, capitalizing on the popularity of stylish action and strong female leads. While it did change how young audiences saw vampires and werewolves, looking back after twenty years, it’s hard to see a clear reason why it became the basis for an entire franchise.
Even today, many popular movies and TV shows are heavily influenced by classic Westerns. In fact, everything from Taylor Sheridan’s series can be seen as a modern take on the Western. These new Westerns, often called Neo-Westerns, take the familiar themes and storylines of the genre and set them in the present day.
Fans are excited about the possibility of Elizabeth Olsen returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Wanda Maximoff, also known as the Scarlet Witch. Director Matt Shakman has hinted at her potential return, fueling online speculation – particularly about her appearing in a future ‘Avengers’ film called ‘Doomsday’.
Let me tell you, heading into the 2025 TV season, there’s one show poised to genuinely unsettle and hilariously discomfort viewers – and it’s not what you’d expect. Forget something predictable like Celebrity Wheel of Fortune; the real standout is HBO’s The Chair Company. This show is different, and that’s thanks to Tim Robinson, a master of awkward comedy. He and Zach Kanin have created something truly unique, and critics loved it. It seems audiences were ready for a change of pace, and I think they’ll find this show… unforgettable.
Actually, Deadpool 3 isn’t the only time we’ll see Deadpool in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Ryan Reynolds’ character is planned to appear in at least two other upcoming Marvel Studios projects, with one potentially releasing as early as next year.
