Showrunner Noelle Stevenson Gave Us the Rundown on Everything She-Ra

she-ra netflix
In the year of reboots, She-Ra and the Princesses of Power is one of our most anticipated remakes. Sure, I might be biased because I grew up on the original 1980s series, but the new Netflix and Dreamworks She-Ra reboot gives us a refreshing spin on the classic story of Adora (Aimee Carrero) and the Evil Horde.

Johnny Depp, Jude Law, Dan Fogler, Alison Sudol, Eddie Redmayne, Katherine Waterston, Claudia Kim, Zoë Kravitz, Ezra Miller, and Callum Turner in Fantastic Beasts- The Crimes of Grindelwald (2018)
The film functioned as a reverse Mirror of Erised, showing me only things I desperately did not want.

Things We Saw Today: Key & Peele Reunite for Delightful Toy Story 4 Teaser

TOY STORY 4 key and peele
Yesterday, we got to see the first teaser trailer for Toy Story 4. The short trailer introduced us to a new character, Forky, and also sent us spiraling into existential Pixar despair, questioning the very nature of life itself and who has control over sentience in this world. Was Forky always aware of their own existence, or do children have the ability to bring an object to life simply by sticking some googly eyes on it? These are the questions that live inside us now.

Monica Lewinsky Explains Why She Chose to Participate in The Clinton Affair Docuseries

Monica Lewinsky, clinton, apoligy, interview
Monica Lewinsky doesn't often talk publicly about her decades-old affair with Bill Clinton. She recently walked out of an interview when the interviewer went off-script and asked about the events of 20 years ago, despite having previously agreed not to. Because when Lewinsky does talk about those events, she does so on her own terms. In a new essay for Vanity Fair, she explains why she's agreed to participate in a docuseries exploring "The Clinton Affair."
