The untold truth of Superstore
The Untold Truth Of Superstore In late March 2021, NBC's endearing, sharply written, and unashamedly weird series Superstore came to a close after six seasons. Created by Justin Spitzer, who spent the first three seasons as showrunner, Superstore explores what it's like to work at a big-box store, from the experiences of the store managers to the floor supervisors to the lowest-level employees. Together, they keep Cloud 9 running.
You Can See Everything Has A Secret Actor That Will Break Your Brain
Absolutely stop reading right now if you have not seen "You Can See Everything." Full spoilers ahead! About an hour ago, I walked out of an afternoon screening of Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim's reality-breaking documentary "You Can See Everything." I live very close to the theater, but I needed to walk in circles to digest what I just witnessed, so I arrived home a bit later than I anticipated.

5 Best New Movies And Shows To Stream This Weekend On Netflix, Prime Video, Hulu, And More (Oct. 16-18)
We're hitting the halfway point of October, and despite some unseasonably warm temperatures on the East Coast of the United States (where I happen to generally reside), we're all looking forward to this perfectly crisp season. We're baking sourdough. We're pulling our sweaters out of storage. We're picking apples and making pies. We're thinking about our Halloween costumes (what do you mean, you're going as "the $15,000 animatronic bird Kelly Clarkson wasn't allowed to buy in Brooklyn"?!).
All 41 Hunger Games: Sunrise On The Reaping Characters Explained
One of the many, many, many excellent things about the Hunger Games franchise, which began its life as a series of novels by Suzanne Collins and subsequently got adapted into a film franchise, is that there's so much story yet to tell.
Matthew Morrison's Glee Role Left Him With A Painful Medical Condition
Matthew Morrison may have experienced his fair share of success after "Glee," but the popular show also left the actor with a painful medical condition. Will Schuester had some genuinely weird behavior on "Glee," whether he was planting illicit substances in a student's locker or grinding onstage with the teenage members of the glee club. Apparently, actor Matthew Morrison experienced a lot of stress just playing the character.
Harry Potter: Did A Real-Life Affair Between Stars Make It Into The Books?
The "Harry Potter" books are full of Easter eggs, but some fans think one book contains a reference to a real-life British celebrity divorce — and not just any celebrity divorce, but a high-profile divorce that happened between two actors who appeared in the film adaptations.

Would Steve Carell Ever Play Michael Scott Again?
Would Steve Carell ever return to a fictional version of Scranton and play Michael Scott on "The Office" again? Honestly, it seems unlikely. "The Office," a remake of the British series of the same name led by Ricky Gervais, appeared on NBC as a humble mid-season replacement in March 2005 and somehow became one of the most beloved and iconic sitcoms of its time.
The Social Reckoning's Failure Can Be Traced Back To One Moment Original
The second that Jesse Eisenberg declined to join "The Social Reckoning," the standalone sequel to "The Social Network" that brings screenwriter Aaron Sorkin back but also tasks him with pulling double duty as director, the project should have been abandoned. Sadly, it went ahead as planned, and we got ... "The Social Reckoning," which replaces Eisenberg as Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg with "Succession" veteran Jeremy Strong and which, incidentally, is a bad movie.

The temperatures are finally cooler, every single store near you is putting out Halloween decorations, and fall is finally, officially here. If you don't feel like going apple-picking or out on a hay ride, though, how can you commemorate the second weekend of October? You can watch some movies and TV shows on major streaming services.

Why you rarely hear about the Olsen twins anymore
Why You Rarely Hear About The Olsen Twins Anymore If you came of age in the 1990s and early 2000s , you were likely familiar with the work of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, who were two of the biggest stars of their era thanks to their huge movie career, their shared sitcom roots, and their media empire catering to teenage girls.
The Social Reckoning Is An Unworthy Sequel To The Social Network — Here's Why
"The Social Network" is a tightly-edited, stunningly performed, pitch-perfect movie — and once you see "The Social Reckoning," you'll come to the unfortunate understanding that its success was in spite of screenwriter Aaron Sorkin, not because of him. I don't say this lightly.
The Social Reckoning Is An Unworthy Sequel To The Social Network — Here's Why
The Social Reckoning makes for an unsatisfying spiritual sequel to The Social Network, and we know exactly who's to blame. "The Social Network" is a tightly-edited, stunningly performed, pitch-perfect movie — and once you see "The Social Reckoning," you'll come to the unfortunate understanding that its success was in spite of screenwriter Aaron Sorkin, not because of him. I don't say this lightly.
The Social Reckoning's Most Controversial Scene Might Be The Worst Of 2026 Original
Log off if you haven't seen "The Social Reckoning." Spoilers to follow. In general, "The Social Reckoning," Aaron Sorkin's wholly unnecessary follow-up to an actually good movie, "The Social Network," is sweaty, desperate, and heavy-handed. Its final scene, though, takes those adjectives to a whole new level, and its treatment of a very real and extraordinarily staggering moment in American history is probably the worst thing you'll see in any movie in 2026.

The Social Reckoning Reactions Are In - And It's Just As Bad As It Looked Original
If you want to watch a beautifully edited, stunningly scored, and amazingly executed film, you should watch "The Social Network," David Fincher and Aaron Sorkin's Facebook origin story that released in 2011. If you want to watch a sweaty, pale imitation of that film made almost two decades afterwards that attempts and fails to chronicle the worst moments of Facebook's modern era, "The Social Reckoning" is here to fulfill that dubious need.
The Social Reckoning Review: Aaron Sorkin's Social Network Sequel Is Entirely Unnecessary
RATING : 1 / 10 Pros Bill Burr somehow delivers the film's most convincing performance Cons Every performance is dreadful, even Oscar winner Mikey Madison Script is unbearably smug and repetitve Aaron Sorkin's skills as a director leave a lot to be desired The Social Network didn't need a sequel, and this film has nothing to say "The Social Reckoning" very well might be the worst movie of 2026 — and it's definitely the one with the biggest identity crisis.

All 5 Anne Hathaway Movie Performances From 2026, Ranked Original
In 2014, we hit the zenith of the so-called "McConnaissance," a re-evaluation and return to form for Matthew McConaughey that won him an Oscar and rave reviews for his work on the first season of "True Detective." In 2024, Josh Hartnett got a well-deserved critical reappraisal thanks to his work the previous year in "Oppenheimer" and then his deliciously deranged M. Night Shyamalan thriller "Trap." Now, we're in the thick of 2026, and it is, without contest, the year of Anne Hathaway.

Verity Review: Anne Hathaway's Colleen Hoover Movie Is Dead On Arrival
Is Michael Showalter ... okay? The versatile comedian and director of films like "The Big Sick," "The Idea of You," and "The Eyes of Tammy Faye" — and director and even co-creator on shows like "The Dropout" and "Search Party" — is better than you'd believe if you only see his new film, "Verity," a Colleen Hoover adaptation that stars Anne Hathaway, Dakota Johnson, and Josh Hartnett as two writers and just some guy locked in a deadly love triangle.
5 Best Crime Shows Of The 21st Century, Ranked
This article contains discussions of addiction, domestic violence, and sexual assault. Who doesn't love a good crime drama? Dark as this genre might be, it endures for a reason; getting engaged with mysteries, watching cops and detectives take down bad guys, and seeing some of the most heinous acts that can be committed against another person from the safety of your own living room lets you dabble in darkness but ultimately remain completely unharmed is weirdly satisfying.
Barbie Cast Reveals How They Played With Their Barbies, And It Gets Odd
Throughout "Barbie," we're reminded, every so often, that despite the chasm between Barbie Land and the real world, people in the real world can influence what happens in Barbie Land. Considering that this is exactly what leads to Stereotypical Barbie (Margot Robbie) experiencing a very unexpected existential crisis, it makes sense that some of its stars opened up about how they played with their own real Barbies.
You Didn't Watch One Of The Funniest Shows Ever On Peacock, So Watch It On Netflix Now Original
One time, I was watching the third season of "Girls5Eva," the sadly short-lived comedy created by Meredith Scardino that began its life on Peacock before moving to Netflix, and suddenly, I had a problem. One specific cutaway gag involving Thomas Doherty's Harry Styles-style pop star Grey Holland made me laugh so hard that I peed my pants. I'm not kidding. I literally laughed so hard that I peed my pants.

Why A Few Succession Stars Found Brian Cox's On-Set Behavior 'Incredibly Scary'

Who Plays The Queen In The Crown?
In the series finale of Netflix's original series "The Crown" — "Sleep, Dearie Sleep," which closes out the show's sixth and final season — three queens grace our screen as the show says farewell. Peter Morgan's decades-spanning show, which covers multiple generations of the real-life British family, makes the understandable choice to cast multiple people in the same roles as the series continues rather than slapping old-age makeup onto younger performers or digitally de-aging older ones.
