It’s been forty years since Wil Wheaton played Gordie Lachance in the movie Stand By Me, and now he’s revisiting Stephen King’s work by narrating the audiobook of The Body to mark the anniversary.
Look, a lot of fantastic horror shows have come out since it first aired, but I still think The Haunting of Hill House is the best TV horror has offered in the 21st century. It’s a true classic, a miniseries that really raised the bar and launched its creator into the spotlight as a major force in the genre.
This season of Bridgerton draws inspiration from classic fairytales, specifically resembling a Cinderella story with the budding romance between Benedict and Sophie. Beyond their charming first encounter, the show explores how social status and wealth affect their intense attraction. As with previous seasons, this adaptation of Julia Quinn’s novels takes some creative liberties.
Besides Prime Video, Ebaster has handpicked top shows to watch this week on Netflix, Paramount+, HBO Max, Apple TV, and Peacock. You’ll find a great mix of classic TV favorites and the latest popular series, all available through Prime Video.
Most science fiction disaster movies offer a hopeful ending, with heroes saving the day at the last minute. Don’t Look Up is different. It ends not with a miraculous rescue, but with a stark and unsettling conclusion. The film doesn’t provide heroes; instead, it forces viewers to confront the idea that we possessed the means to prevent disaster, but ultimately failed to act.
The upcoming Supergirl movie is generating a lot of discussion. As the first DC Universe project released that wasn’t directly overseen by James Gunn, initial reactions are varied. A major point of contention is that the film’s visual style doesn’t quite live up to the artistry of the Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow comic book it’s based on. This is especially concerning since the movie will be many viewers’ first look at Jason Momoa as Lobo, and it could end up being a less-than-ideal introduction to his character within the new DCU.
A new villain called Torment will debut in February’s Amazing Spider-Man/Venom: Death Spiral #1. The story will then continue in the regular monthly Amazing Spider-Man and Venom comics throughout March and April. Fans will learn the full story behind Torment in a special one-shot issue coming out on May 13, 2026.
Stephen King announced on X that filming has started for season 2 of The Institute, the MGM+ series. He shared a photo of the script for the first episode, which will be directed by Jack Bender. You can see the announcement here:
Following the huge success of No Way Home, director Watts wanted to return to his earlier, more personal style of filmmaking. He wrote a new story about two competing cleanup crews for crime scenes who are unexpectedly forced to collaborate on a strange case. The project quickly gained the attention of major stars Brad Pitt and George Clooney, and looked poised for another box office hit. However, just six weeks before release, Apple TV+ made a decision that upset Watts, Pitt, and Clooney, leading to the complete cancellation of a previously announced sequel.
