While she was previously teased in an another clip, the latest Deadpool & Wolverine TV spot gives a fuller look at Lady Deadpool, leading to rampant speculation online. You can see her at around the 11-second mark in the teaser below:

All of which is to say: Not nearly enough people are watching—and talking about—Interview With the Vampire. AMC’s adaptation of the Anne Rice novel, and the first title in its Immortal Universe (a collection of series based on Rice’s vampire and witch novels), is in the midst of airing its second season. And yet, week to week, I hear next to nothing about what is arguably the best show currently airing on TV. It’s definitely the hottest, best looking, goth-iest, and gayest show on TV—four quadrants I didn’t know could be hit this hard simultaneously.

Fans aren’t tuning in to House of the Dragon for the cuddly dragons or cutesy nepo babies. We know what we’re getting when we come to Westeros: senseless violence, centuries-long feuds and even longer grudges, and the occasional inappropriate smooch between family relations. You might even say that these are all reasons to watch House of the Dragon and its predecessor, Game of Thrones. Set in a sprawling fictional realm inspired by medieval fantasy, the franchise and its source material often revel in the sort of violence and creative torture (usually involving rats, no?) typically associated with the pre-enlightenment era.

I know where I am—I can’t name-drop something like “Human Centipede sauna scene” without explaining it, so for the blessedly unaware but still morbidly curious: In episode 2, the eponymous Boys are investigating new season 4 antagonist Firecracker (sort of a knock-off Stormfront) and tailing a Supe named Splinter to get more info. Splinter (Rob Benedict, who will probably be answering questions about this scene for the rest of his life) can produce clones of himself, and those of you wondering how this might influence his masturbation habits are on the right track. Our guys follow Splinter to a sauna, where several clones are arranged in an elaborate ass-to-mouth chain, each masturbating while eating another clone’s butt. It’s the sort of shocking, edgelordian sexual imagery that’s become synonymous with The Boys, made all the more jarring by the sheer amount of saliva on screen.

The truth is much simpler: Now that Disney+ has absorbed the Hulu library, all the movies and shows you can watch on Hulu are also available through the Disney+ app—for users who subscribe to the Disney+ bundle with Hulu, anyway. And since the first seven Saw movies are streaming on Hulu right now, that means you can stream the first seven Saw movies on Disney+.

With just three days to go until House of the Dragon returns, HBO has officially given the Game of Thrones prequel a third season. “George [R.R. Martin], Ryan [Condal, showrunner], and the rest of our incredible executive producers, cast, and crew, have reached new heights with the phenomenal second season of House of the Dragon,” said Francesca Orsi, Executive Vice President, HBO Programming, and Head of HBO Drama Series and Films. “We are in awe of the dragon-sized effort the entire team has put into the creation of a spectacular season two, with a scope and scale that is only rivaled by its heart. We could not be more thrilled to continue the story of House Targaryen and watch this team burn bright again for season 3.”

I saw Strange Darling at last year’s Fantastic Fest and walked away feeling like I had just received a big secret I could only share with other people in the audience. JT Mollner’s directorial debut stars Willa Fitzgerald and Kyle Gallner as two people hooking up for a one-night stand—and that’s the only plot description anyone can give without tipping the film’s hand. You probably shouldn’t watch the trailer for Strange Darling—heed the endorsement from Mike Flanagan, who’s quoted in the trailer—but I will say that Miramax did a pretty solid job with this one, which doesn’t show too much:

You may have heard of Le Creuset, the French-Belgian company that specializes in colorful, high-end ceramic and cast iron cookware, bakeware, and accessories. You’ve almost definitely seen one of Le Creuset’s iconic cast iron pots in a department store or your mom’s kitchen. Other brands may offer affordable, high-quality dupes, but those brands also don’t have Pokémon-themed cookware.

At the beginning of June, Peacock debuted a curated assortment of movies and shows for Pride month. The Amplifying LGBTQIA+ Voices collection predictably includes classics (The Birdcage, The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert) along with camp offerings (Burlesque, The Traitors) and—Child’s Play? Some people were a little surprised to see Chucky, the red-headed doll and prolific serial killer, included in the collection.

Which is exactly what Warner Bros. did on June 4, 2010, when the studio dropped Splice in theaters nationwide during a movie season typically dominated by blockbusters—not exactly prime real estate for a mid-budget genre film with splashy creature effects. Splice emerged from its opening weekend in eighth place, obliterated by the fourth Shrek movie (in its third week, no less) and fellow new releases The Killers (that’s the one with Ashton Kutcher and Katherine Heigl) and Get Him to the Greek (an absolutely cursed film). Splice deserved so much better.

In April 2020, the IRS and the U.S. Treasury sent the first round of stimulus checks intended to ease financial burdens associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. Individuals received up to $1200 and an additional check for up to $500 for each child. At the end of December, another round of checks went out, with individuals receiving up to $600. A third and final round of stimmies went out in March 2021, with individuals receiving up to $1400. These relatively small payments were intended to make it easier to deal with rising costs due to inflation, as corporations capitalized on the pandemic to drive up prices. Several corporations, including Amazon, Microsoft, and delivery providers like UPS and FedEx, have continued to post massive profits while laying off scores of employees and refusing to increase wages.

Showrunner Eric Kripke made the announcement on X, where he revealed that The Boys is ending with season 5. “Season 4 Premiere Week is a good time to announce: Season 5 will be the Final Season!” Kripke wrote, adding, “Always my plan, I just had to be cagey till I got the final OK from Vought. Thrilled to bring the story to a gory, epic, moist climax. Watch Season 4 in 2 DAYS, cause the end has begun!”

It’s been a long year, and even longer if you count the months from last year (we do), but we have one nice thing to look forward to this week—two, if you count the return of House of the Dragon (we do). Season 4 of The Boys is finally hitting Prime Video, and as an added treat for our patience, we’re getting not one, not two, but THREE whole episodes to kick things off.

Powell effortlessly performs his duties as Hollywood’s new favorite leading man in Linklater’s latest, which Powell also co-wrote, loosely based on the true story of Gary Johnson, a college professor who helps local cops catch would-be murderers by posing as a hit man. Like some of Linklater’s best films, Hit Man is both entertaining and thought-provoking, and Linklater remains one of the few filmmakers capable of earnestly spelling out his film’s themes and ideas through otherwise tired tropes. There’s a near-metatextual utility to scenes in which Gary waxes philosophically about identity and the human capacity for change, occasionally while standing in front of a chalkboard and encouraging students to engage with what are ultimately the thematic underpinnings of the entire film.

According to local news affiliate WKRG, Sara Milliken answered the National American Miss pageant’s open call for contestants eight years ago. The 23-year-old mental health advocate and plus-size model didn’t make it into the pageant the first two times she competed, but during her third outing, in the 2024 pageant, Milliken made it to the top five before ultimately taking home the crown as NAM’s Miss Alabama.

The new prequel, Sunrise on the Reaping, is set during the 50th Hunger Games, a.k.a. the Second Quarter Quell, when twice as many tributes were reaped from each district. As we learned in the previous books and movies, Haymitch Abernathy was 40 years old during the 74th Hunger Games, the first game to produce two victors: Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark. We actually know a surprising amount about Haymitch’s past: He was 16 when he was reaped from District 12 to compete in the Second Quarter Quell, leaving behind a mother, a brother, and a girlfriend. After slaughtering most of his competition at the cornucopia in an infamous bloodbath, Haymitch formed an alliance with fellow District 12 tribute Maysilee Donner, who ultimately died, leaving Haymitch to duke it out with the only other survivor, a female career tribute from District 1.

According to Deadline, Rovio Entertainment is developing a third Angry Birds movie. You’ve probably memory-holed this information, but there were two animated movies based on the hit mobile games, in which players fling birds of varying size and skill at an assortment of militaristic pigs in an effort to topple their elaborate fortress structures.
