Despite being a horror parody, the 2002 film *Scary Movie* is surprisingly popular on Peacock, currently ranking as the ninth most-watched movie on the platform. Many consider it the best of the early 2000s spoof films, which also included titles like *Superhero Movie* and *Epic Movie*. While several *Scary Movie* sequels followed, the original stood out for its clever and over-the-top humor, playfully mocking horror tropes and early 2000s pop culture. In fact, the plot is so secondary to the gags that even the official synopsis doesn’t bother to explain what the movie is about!

The animated series *Diabolical*, a spin-off of the Prime Video hit *The Boys*, featured standalone stories, some of which connected to the main storyline. Despite receiving overwhelmingly positive reviews – a 97% score on Rotten Tomatoes – it doesn’t appear to be continuing after *The Boys* ends. Showrunner Eric Kripe recently told *The Wrap* about the show’s future:

Featuring Andrea Riseborough and Jason Watkins, the film *Dragonfly* centers on Coleen (Riseborough), who is disturbed by the poor care given to her elderly neighbor, Elsie (Blethyn), and volunteers to provide care herself without charge.

He’s completely transformed into a villain, now actively enjoying the role of choosing who suffers and enthusiastically issuing deadly commands. It’s a shocking change from how hesitant and troubled he seemed at the beginning!

The BBC Breakfast presenter felt uncomfortable when a group of teenage boys, around 15 or 16 years old, stood close to the train door as she was trying to get off.

I visited the Atlanta set of the show in July 2024, right in the middle of filming – around day 135. There were between 400 and 500 people working on set that day. Outside the library, nearly 100 extras in camouflage were relaxing and enjoying shawarma from the craft services table, near props made to look like bloodied bodies. Stunt performers were preparing to be launched into the air by crew members wearing gray suits and orange markers on their heads – these would later become the terrifying monsters known as Demogorgons thanks to computer-generated imagery. And this wasn’t even the most elaborate scene they were filming all year! According to executive producer and director Shawn Levy, the sets were just as massive and detailed as those he’s worked with on Marvel films. He explained that even though it’s a television series, the storytelling is truly epic in scope. Levy had just finished directing his latest episodes of *Stranger Things* after wrapping up *Deadpool & Wolverine* and before starting work on a *Star Wars* movie.

Many loyal customers of the lingerie brand might be surprised to discover where its name actually comes from, considering it’s always been so popular in the United States.

Many successful singer-songwriters, including Fiona Apple and Lorde, are known for taking several years off between releasing albums. These periods of inactivity are a common pattern in their careers.

“Check out the new album!” said Boose, who is tall and has striking cheekbones, addressing a large group of young, stylish influencers and people in business attire. “I really need to earn back the money I was given in advance.”
