‘Snow White’ review: Rachel Zegler did the impossible and made me care about my least favorite Disney princess

‘Sherwood’ season 3 release window, cast, plot, and more

Based on true events, Sherwood has been a massive hit for the BBC and BritBox, and with good reason. Yes, it’s a sweeping, high-stakes crime drama, and the tension and violence is even more pronounced in Sherwood season 2. Amidst the darkness, though, there are moments of real humanity, and the series never loses sight of its politically charged narrative or the history of Nottinghamshire.

Thankfully, we already know the BBC has renewed Sherwood for season 3 (it was renewed before season 2 even aired in the U.S.). Here’s everything we know about the upcoming season.

‘Solo Leveling: Ragnarok’ chapter 46 release date, confirmed

The sequel to the original Solo Leveling manhwa, Solo Leveling: Ragnarok, has captivated fans with the epic journey of Sung Suho and its steady stream of weekly chapters. However, the release of Chapter 46 has hit a minor snag.

Readers have been riding high on a wave of thrilling action and tantalizing mysteries as they follow Sung Suho’s quest to retain his father’s legacy, the legendary Sung Jin-woo, years after the events of Solo Leveling. The epic sequel to the beloved saga was first teased in 2023 and quickly swept fans into its world with the release of 105 chapters on KakaoPage starting April 10, 2023. As if that wasn’t enough, Redice Studio brought the story to vivid life with a webtoon adaptation that premiered on August 1, 2024.

‘Doctor Who’s new episode titles may have revealed a reality-bending twist

Doctor Who season 15—or season 2, if that’s what you want to call it—is almost upon us. We’re just a few short weeks away from reuniting with Ncuti Gatwa’s Fifteenth Doctor and meeting his new companion, Varada Sethu’s Belinda Chandra. As promotion for the upcoming season ramps up, the official Doctor Who X account has teased more of what’s to come by releasing the titles for all eight season 15/season 2 episodes.

They are as follows:

‘I have used poor judgement’: Impractical Jokers star Joe Gatto addresses sexual assault allegations

Joe Gatto was part of the four-person reality prank show Impractical Jokers. The four friends would trick each other and put themselves in uncomfortable situations. Gatto suddenly left, and now he’s addressing sexual assault allegations against him.

Allegations surfaced on social media when a young woman alleged that she met Gatto at a restaurant with her family and was then invited to his comedy show. She alleged she drunkenly messaged with Gatto on Instagram DMs and he turned on “vanish mode” and sent her the address to his hotel.

Will there be ‘The Artful Dodger’ season 2?

One of the most exciting series on Disney+ and Hulu is The Artful Dodger. Fans of the titular pickpocket/surgeon are probably curious about whether the action drama will return for a second season, and we have some good news.

The show, which functions as a sequel to Charles Dickens’s Oliver Twist, is set in 1850s Australia and centers around a famous surgeon and reformed criminal by the name of Jack Dawkins, played by Thomas Brodie-Sangster. Dawkins, who led a respectable career in the Navy as a doctor, eventually meets the ghosts of his past. His old friend Fagin (David Thewlis) gets into contact with him, steering him back into a life of crime, and Jack must once again assume the role of the infamous pickpocket known as “Dodger.”

‘Off-Campus’ TV show release window, plot, and more

The exponential explosion of the romance genre in publishing over the last few years is finally making its way to Hollywood, as yet another best-selling romance series is set to be adapted for the small screen. Elle Kennedy’s Off-Campus hockey romance novels will be adapted into a TV series for Prime Video.

Though Prime Video’s competitor Netflix is certainly cashing in on the romance novel trend, too—they’re currently producing a series based on Emily Henry’s mega-selling Happy Place—Prime is a logical home for Kennedy’s Off-Campus books, as the new adult series will follow in the footsteps of other romance book adaptations like My Lady Jane (which was tragically canceled after one season), The Summer I Turned Pretty, Maxton Hall, and the My Fault movies (both the Spanish and the English versions).

10 best sci-fi fantasy books, ranked

Much like gender, the space between fantasy and sci-fi is a spectrum. While books like The Lord of the Rings and The Three-Body Problem sit at opposite ends of said spectrum, plenty of books sit somewhere in the middle. If you’re looking for stories that blur the lines between these two beloved genres entirely, then here they are: the 10 best sci-fi fantasy books, ranked.

10. The God Engines by John Scalzi

Looking for a powerful sci-fi fantasy story but don’t have the time to dive into a tome? John Scalzi’s The God Engines is fantasy horror in a bite-sized package! In this universe, gods exist, but rather than being worshipped and adored, they are captured and enslaved by humanity, their power harnessed to serve as the engines of starships. Ean Tephe is a captain of one such vessel and is sent out on a quest across the stars by The Bishopry, the sprawling religious organization that rules the galaxy. Tephe discovers that his ship’s usually ambivalent engine god has a curious interest in completing the mission, threatening to change Tephe’s perspective of the deity enslaving status quo.

Fox News’ Jesse Watters finds drinking from straws to be ‘effeminate’

In another tragic display of fragile masculinity, Fox News host Jesse Watters has shared his rules for how to be a Man™, and yes, they’re as ridiculous as you think they are.

Telling men they cannot wave with both hands wasn’t enough. Watters also genuinely seems to believe that men should never drink from straws, enjoy milkshakes, eat soup in public, or cross their legs. During a broadcast of the Fox News segment The Five earlier this week, in which the hosts discussed former vice presidential candidate Tim Walz at length—including the time Walz, to Watters’ horror, drank a milkshake through a straw—Watters explained that drinking from straws is “effeminate” because of the “way your lips purse,” and “milkshakes are for children,” despite milkshakes just being ice cream in liquefied form. Does he not eat ice cream, either? No milkshakes, no soup … does this man ever enjoy life’s simple pleasures without worrying that he looks manly enough? What a terrible way to live.

Bernie Sanders slams ‘authoritarian president’ Trump amid shameless power grab

“Right now, we have an authoritarian president.”

In no uncertain terms, Senator Bernie Sanders has officially labeled Donald Trump a dictatorial ruler. In a post on X, Sanders wrote, “Right now, we have an authoritarian president. He called CNN ‘illegal.’ He is trying to encroach on the spending powers of Congress. He is going after the courts. Trump does not respect our Constitution. He just wants more and more power for himself.”

‘People are going to be really torn’: Dichen Lachlan understands the draw between the ‘Severance’ love triangle

Severance season 2 has come to an end and sadly, we’re left on a cliffhanger. Meaning we want some answers and we want them now! But we have to be patient and wait for season 3.

Luckily, I got to speak with Dichen Lachlan, who plays Gemma and Ms. Casey, about her role and getting to bring Gemma to life in season 2. In season 1, we saw Lachlan as Ms. Casey and knew that that was Mark Scout’s (Adam Scott) wife. But his innie, Mark S., did not know that fact. In season 2, we got to see the back story of Mark and Gemma and how they met and fell in love with each other.

Justin Baldoni sues former publicist as legal battle with Blake Lively intensifies

The Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni legal drama has continued to heat up. This time, with Baldoni and Jennifer Abel filing lawsuits against Stephanie Jones.

Jones and Abel worked together on Baldoni’s case after fans began to recognize something was array with the cast. Many noticed that Baldoni did not do press with Lively and that the rest of the cast had unfollowed Baldoni. He was not pictured with them at the premiere and it began to have many online questioning what was going on.

The ‘Severance’ finale hurt my heart

Good finales don’t have to tie everything up in a nice little bow. Sometimes, they can hurt. Which is what happened with Severance.

The season 2 finale was setting us up for pain and I could tell right from the start. But I didn’t expect to feel as upset as I was by the end of it. Mark S. (Adam Scott) went back to work on Cold Harbor, finishing the program and knowing (thanks to Ms. Cobel) that once the program is done, Lumon will kill Gemma (Dichen Lachman).

‘Ludwig’ interview: David Mitchell on comedy, standalone murder mysteries, and the quiet brilliance of Inspector Morse

After becoming one of the U.K.’s biggest scripted shows of 2024, the new detective series Ludwig has finally premiered on BritBox in North America. Ludwig is a genuine comedic, thrilling delight; if you’re anything like me and you love British murder mystery favorites like Midsomer Murders or anything by Agatha Christie, I promise, Ludwig is right up your street.

A large part of the show’s appeal is down to its star, David Mitchell, a British comic legend known for roles in comedy hits such as Peep Show and That Mitchell and Webb Look, as well as hundreds of appearances on Britain’s comedic panel shows like Mock the Week, QI, and, of course, Would I Lie to You? Mitchell brings his unique brand of slightly awkward and incredibly clever humor to the series, resulting in a fantastic new amateur detective who is brilliantly easy to root for.

Glen Powell is about to make me face my fears if this potential remake works out

We all have those things that make a chill go down our spines. It can be seeing a snake on screen, a spider crawling, a shark swimming, or more frightening things like clowns and chainsaws. Okay, I hate all those things but you get my point.

So I have seen movies like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre because it is considered one of the greatest horror films of all time. I did like it and appreciate it but I also had nightmares because of the sound of chainsaws. I have not watched the subsequent sequels and remakes of the film. Again, I don’t like the sound of chainsaws so why would I willingly throw myself into a film with a bunch of them!? It’s in the title!

The Magical Appeal of Trading Cards and Where to Find Them

This article was written in partnership with eBay Australia.

Trading card games have gone from a schoolyard hobby to a massive industry, from schoolyard tournaments with cards costing a couple dollars from the local newsagent to Pokémon Neo Genesis boxes selling for upwards of $40,000* on online marketplaces like eBay Australia, proving that trading cards are the ultimate collectables.

Trump touting prison sentences for Tesla vandals doubles down on his frail ego

According to Donald Trump, vandalism is now an act of terrorism.

In response to a slew of recent vandalizations of Tesla vehicles in done out of protest against Elon Musk, Trump announced that he would consider prison sentences for the perpetrators. Trump took to Truth Social to speak on the attacks on electric vehicles, denouncing the vandals as “sick terrorist thugs” and saying that he would enjoy sentencing them 20 years in an El Salvadorian prison.

Trump doesn’t know what “non woke” musicals are

I am not a fan of Andrew Lloyd Webber. In the war between the March 22 birthdays, I am more of a Stephen Sondheim kind of girl. But even I have an issue when Donald Trump considers Webber’s musicals “non-woke.” My guy, they’re musicals.

The President is now the “king” of the Kennedy Center. Meaning he’s the one who makes a lot of decisions about the Kennedy Center Honors. An audio leak details Trump’s plans for his version of the ceremony and none of it is good! He wants those being honored to be more “conservative” and even claimed that men like Steve Wynn the hotel mogul could be honored. That’s not really what the Kennedy Center is for.
