The Stones just keep on rolling. After a few weeks of cryptic teases, the legendary rock group officially announced Foreign Tongues, their 25th studio album — their first since 2023’s Hackney Diamonds — along with the first single, “In the Stars.” And if you’re thinking that new music from the Rolling Stones is literally old news, you may want to take a closer look at their Grammys history. For being rock royalty, the Rolling Stones are woefully under-awarded at the Grammys. Since forming in 1962, the group has netted a shocking 13 nominations. Somehow, even worse, they’ve only won four times.…

Ready or Not 2: Here I Come (now streaming on VOD platforms like Amazon Prime Video) should make us grateful that director duo Tyler Gillett and Matt Bettinelli-Olpin are done futzing around in the Scream franchise. Cut out the take-or-leave-it-but-mostly-leave-it Scream (2022) and Scream VI from their directorial filmographies, and you’ve got Abigail and two Ready or Nots making a solid case for these guys – once known by the moniker Radio Silence – being the new kings of not-so-elevated horror movies what make us guffaw. The first Ready or Not precluded the wave of eat-the-rich stories that have been…

20th Century Studios is returning to Planet of the Apes. Matt Shakman, who directed Marvel Studios’ The Fantastic Four: First Steps, has been tapped to helm a new installment of the long-running sci-fi property, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed. Josh Friedman, who co-wrote First Steps as well as Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, will write the new script. In a twist worthy of an astronaut seeing the Statue of Liberty on a seashore, the new feature project will not be a sequel to Kingdom, which made $397.3 million worldwide and is generally considered a success. Kingdom was a…

Luigi Mangione is getting a ton of financial support amid his legal battles. The alleged killer of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, who is awaiting murder trials in federal prison, turned 28 on Wednesday (May 6), and a donor gifted him with a $28,000 donation in his honor. The user, named Carl on GoFundMe, added the following memo to the $28,038 donation: “Funding was also directed toward victims in comparable situations. Though, it is unfortunate that private support is needed here because of jurisdictional piling and otherwise abnormal mishandling.” Luigi‘s legal fund has now reached over $1.5 million. He is accused…

Netflix has been dropping a steady stream of new originals throughout 2026. On paper, the lineup looked promising. You have bestselling novels adapted into prestige thrillers, star-studded casts, and ambitious reimaginings of familiar stories. But as the dust settles on the first wave of releases, not everything has landed the way Netflix likely hoped.Some shows struggled with pacing, others with tone, and a few simply couldn’t live up to the expectations built around them. While none of these series are outright disasters, they all share one thing in common. They’ve all sparked more disappointment than excitement in our opinion at…

Although popular with audiences, Landman hasn’t exactly struck oil at the Emmys. But things might change this year, based on one highly predictive harbinger. In its first season, Taylor Sheridan’s primetime soap didn’t receive a single nomination from the Television Academy, despite scoring a Golden Globe bid for Billy Bob Thornton’s performance as Texas oilman Tommy Norris. However, Season 2 landed a Best Drama Ensemble bid from the Screen Actors Guild’s Actor Awards, which has been a positive omen when it comes to the best series categories at the Emmys. Over the past three decades, a nomination from the Actor…

Wes Anderson is one of the most consistent directors of his generation — you know what to expect from each of his pictures, and they are all more or less pretty good. But he knocked it out of the park with Asteroid City, a loopy, Looney Tunes-inspired comedy that sneakily transforms into a moving meditation on art and the universal human need to tell stories.  At a young astronomers’ convention in the titular desert city, a UFO suddenly appears and takes a meteorite from a crater in the town’s center. This amazing extraterrestrial first contact makes national news, resulting in…

We are so back, witches. It’s been a tumultuous three years since Hocus Pocus 3 was first announced to be in development at Disney, with numerous updates from Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and other members of the cast about another return for the Sanderson Sisters. A trilogy capper to send off the series felt inevitable after Hocus Pocus 2 became a Disney+ smash hit and left room for more mayhem to come with the reveal of a second Black Flame candle and the presence of The Witch Mother (Hannah Waddingham), but the process hasn’t been that simple. Although things…
