In today’s TV landscape, few characters have made the kind of comedic and cultural impact as Carroll O’Connor’s Archie Bunker from Norman Lear’s groundbreaking sitcom All in the Family.

The 1970s are often considered a Golden Age of TV comedy, thanks largely to two production powerhouses: Mtm, which gave us The Mary Tyler Moore Show and The Bob Newhart Show, and Tandem Productions, the company co‑founded by Norman Lear. Tandem delivered a string of groundbreaking hits — All in the Family, Maude, The Jeffersons, Good Times, and Sanford & Son. Among these, perhaps none resonated more deeply than All in the Family, a...

FandomWire’s We Were Liars review positions the show as a mediocre watch in the psychological thriller genre, but there’s no denying the fact that the show stuffed trauma like packing peanuts. The haunting tale of secrecy, privilege, and guilt takes us on a journey with the protagonist, Cadence or Cady Sinclair, as she orchestrates the burning of the Clairmont house.

When Cady and the other Liars decide to burn their grandfather’s house down as a sign of rebellion against the privilege it symbolizes, not many survive the fire. As the Prime Video adaptation of E. Lockhart’s novel reveals, all the other Liars, including the family dogs, perish in the inferno (via Time Magazine).

Through fractured memories and ghostly hauntings, the series reveals how one act of rebellion led to destruction. Let’s dissect how every character succumbed to their death in the fateful fire.

Transforming Grown Ups and King of Queens star Kevin James into the next John Wick was never going to be easy. While the sight of James taking down baddies with expertly placed fists and bullets is something to behold, the comedic actor’s foray into the world of action has now resulted in a distinct divide among critics on Rotten Tomatoes.

Written and directed by Edward Drake and starring Christina Ricci, Luis Guzman, Joey Diaz, Melissa Leo, and Timothy V. Murphy alongside James, the first reviews for the action outing Guns Up have now started to emerge, and while not enough have materialized to give Guns Up an overall score, there is now an even split between “rotten” and “fresh” reactions on the popular aggregator site.

We begin with the good, as Nicholas Bell of Fish Jelly Films found much to enjoy, heaping praise on Kevin James and Christina Ricci...

Scarlett Johansson will always be known for her role as Black Widow in the MCU, but four years after she debuted in Iron Man 2, she starred in a hit sci-fi thriller that just got a devastating streaming update. Johansson stars alongside Morgan Freeman and Choi Min-sik in Lucy, the 2014 AI cyberpunk thriller following a woman who gets caught in a dark deal, only to turn the tables on her captors and transform into a deadly warrior. Lucy is currently streaming on Netflix. Unfortunately, the streamer has confirmed that the last day to watch the film will be July 31. Lucy earned scores of 67% from critics and 47% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes, and it also grossed a whopping $469 million at the box office against a $40 million budget.

Lucy came from the mind of Luc Benson, and it’s still widely viewed among the most famous works in his career. Lucy came...

Amid the shocking revelation that frequent Adam Sandler collaborator and real-life buddy Kevin James is all set to become the next big action hero, the Pixels star has now offered an update regarding a certain Sandler sequel that is sure to have fans excited. Adam Sandler is currently teeing up the long-awaited sequel to one of his most beloved comedy outings, Happy Gilmore, with James now adding that more follow-ups to some Sandler favorites could be on the horizon.

Speaking recently with The Direct, Kevin James was asked whether we will ever see the likes of himself, Sandler, Chris Rock, and David Spade reunite for Grown Ups 3. Eager to keep the hope alive, James was quick to respond, revealing that, yes, those feelings of hope are more than justified as “something’s happening.”

"I think there have been. And I think, yeah, I think you can keep hope alive. I can say that.

Fans of NBC drama "Grosse Pointe Garden Society" were dismayed to learn that the series had been cancelled in 2025 after just one season — especially since the season finale ended on a cliffhanger that will seemingly never be resolved. The history of TV is littered with shows that didn't last beyond their debut season, and not all of them are bad. Some great sci-fi series were axed after just one season, and some of the best TV shows you'll ever see were similarly cancelled after one season. Fans of "Grosse Pointe Garden Society" would certainly argue the show belongs in that latter category, and the critical response to the NBC drama certainly suggested it was one of the better series to end so quickly. So, why did the network bury this seemingly successful murder mystery show?

Back in July 2024, "Grosse Pointe Garden Society" received a series order from NBC, and things were looking promising.

Back in April, Blumhouse Productions spent some time in the spotlight during the Universal panel at the CinemaCon event in Las Vegas, and JoBlo’s own Chris Bumbray was there to witness an early preview of SOULM8TE, which is “a new movie in the M3GAN universe” that is set to reach theatres on January 2, 2026. Bumbray reported, “Seems similar to Companion. Centers on a sexbot that becomes so obsessed with her “owner” that she kills anyone close to him and goes on a murder spree. Looks more violent (and kinkier) than M3GAN but has the same humor. When a woman she’s about to kill says ‘Women aren’t supposed to be pitted against each other,’ she answers, ‘Don’t start that girl power shit with me.’” Now that M3GAN 2.0 is about to make its way out into the world, Entertainment Weekly was able to dig up some more information on SOULM8TE,...

The legendary Robert De Niro has starred in one of the greatest crime dramas of all time, The Godfather: Part II. But he has also headlined Luc Besson's forgotten gangster comedy The Family. De Niro has starred in one of the greatest heist films ever made, Michael Mann's Heat. But he has also appeared in the little-seen direct-to-video film Heist. As it turns out, there are few offers that he can refuse. However, despite a non-existent theatrical run in 2015, Heistis now gaining attention on the Paramount+ streaming service.

According to FlixPatrol, Heistfinished eighth on the Paramount+ streaming charts on June 20, ahead of Here After (not the Clint Eastwood weepy) and Flight 7500 (not the Joseph Gordon-Levitt thriller). The Paramount+ charts were led by longtime champion Gladiator II, followed by Top Gun: Maverick, which made nearly $1.5 billion worldwide a few years ago. By comparison, Heist made under $5 million at the box office,...

During the second season of Deal or No Deal Island, the reality TV series that Joe Manganiello perfectly hosts became a must-see show. One of the main reasons why Dondi is one of Peacock's best shows is because of the second season's dominant alliance, The Family. The alliance included the Survivor Hall of Famer. Parvati Shallow, David Genat, who was confronted by Dr. Will Kirby, and Dickson Wong.

Since The Family enjoyed so much success together, it was fantastic to see David and Dickson reunite for an exclusive TheThings interview. During that discussion, Dickson revealed whether he wanted David or Parvati to win Australian Survivor: Australia V The World while talking in front of David.

Dickson Wong Explained Why He Wants Parvati Shallow To Win Australian Survivor: Australia V The World In Front Of Her Competitor, David Genat

In May 2025, TheThings journalist Matthew Thomas interviewed Dickson Wong and David Genat together.

No matter what one’s opinion on the film – and in hindsight I do feel it is overrated—there are no two opinions on the actors specially Divya Prabha whose portrayal of an emotionally sexually adventurous left us enchanted. All We Imagine As Light is an experience that leaves us with mixed feelings. Its original fertile language of expression is incontestably exciting. But it can also be exasperating at times for the very same reason that it is exciting. The actors are all so oblivious of the camera, the film seems not to be aspiring to anything principally cinematic.

A lot of movie watchers in North India know Divya Prabha only after Payal Kapadia’s film All We Imagine As Light although Divya has been a part of the Malayalam film industry since 2013. “Just over ten years now. Looking back on my journey, I feel truly fulfilled and satisfied. These...

The Big Bang Theory spin-off, Young Sheldon, has brought several talented actors into the spotlight, from lead star Iain Armitage to Zoe Perry, who portrayed Mary Cooper, Sheldon’s mother, throughout the CBS series. Perry has since reprised the role in the new spin-off, Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage.

However, while she has become well-known for her role as Mary Cooper, her journey in acting began long before Young Sheldon. One key milestone in her early career was a brief role in the long-running CBS procedural NCIS.

Zoe Perry played a dirty cop in NCIS Season 13

Season 13 of NCIS features Zoe Perry in a brief but memorable role as Kristen Fields, a police officer in Harpers Ferry who harbors some hidden secrets that unravel as the episode progresses.

When you think of Robert De Niro, you probably picture him staring someone down with that iconic glare, saying something unforgettable, and maybe breaking a few bones in the process. He’s the guy from Goodfellas, Raging Bull, Casino, a walking masterclass in intensity, grit, and straight-up legendary acting.

But here’s the thing, De Niro’s career is so much more than mob bosses and crime sagas. The man has been in over a hundred films, and hidden between those Oscar-drenched roles are movies that barely made a blip on the awards radar but absolutely deserve your attention. Some are soft, some are strange, and some are surprisingly wholesome.

These aren’t just forgotten roles. They are hidden gems that remind us why De Niro is more than just his “you talkin’ to me?” bravado. So, if you think you’ve seen every shade of De Niro… think again.

Last night, Blumhouse Productions spent some time in the spotlight during the Universal panel at the CinemaCon event in Las Vegas. A major focus of their time on stage was the sequels they have coming out this year – M3GAN 2.0, which is set to reach theatres on June 27th; The Black Phone 2 follows on October 17th; then Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 will help wrap up 2025 with its December 5th release. But they also shared a preview of SOULM8TE, which is “a new movie in the M3GAN universe” that is set to reach theatres on January 2, 2026.

The M3GAN movies and SOULM8TE come from the recently merged companies Atomic Monster (headed up by James Wan) and Blumhouse Productions (headed up by Jason Blum).

James Wan, his wife Ingrid Bisu, and Rafael Jordan (Salvage Marines) crafted the story for this one, with Jordan writing the first draft of the screenplay. Kate Dolan...

It’s been a bittersweet week for fans of The Conners, as last week audiences welcomed the favorite TV family back for their seventh season. But, on the other hand, the return marks the beginning of the end, as this set of episodes will be the last, with the sitcom slated to come to an end after its six-episode run. Ahead of the second chapter in the final season, Collider has an exclusive sneak peek of the comedic hijinks that are set to ensue when the titular family allows cameras into their restaurant for a reality TV show.

In the first look, Jackie (Laurie Metcalf) is sitting on the iconic family couch alongside her nieces, Darlene (Sara Gilbert) and Becky (Lecy Goranson). The trio is tuning in to see how their episode turned out, but Jackie is less than pleased with the production’s final cut. Watching alongside the women...

The Italian director Ettore Scola is renowned for his ability to explore themes that might initially seem simple or mundane, yet he transforms them into deeply human and emotionally resonant narratives. His unique talent lies in portraying the emotions of his characters with such authenticity that audiences can easily relate to them and see reflections of their own lives. Scola achieves this by choosing to tell straightforward yet profoundly real and tangible stories.

Examples of this storytelling approach can be seen throughout his filmography, such as “The Family”(1987), where he chronicles the life of a family over three generations, or “We All Loved Each Other So Much” (1974), which follows the friendship of three friends over thirty years. These films share a common trait: they are simple in premise but rich in emotional depth. “Che ora è” (translated as “What Time Is It?”) is perhaps the clearest embodiment of this concept.

Tim Malcolm is one of those people who keeps coming back to the 90 Day Fiance franchise, and over the years, he found plenty of people who mocked him. And, the man who is often accused of being gay gave TLC viewers plenty of opportunity to talk about him. This week, it was about his gray hair.

Jeniffer Tarazona’s Ex Gets Hectic Mockery

When Tim shared a post on social media that showed his neatly trimmed beard, all he said in his caption was, “Got the grays out.” Well, the photo made its way to Reddit, and there, lots of people had fun mocking the photo on Monday. In fact, some TLC fans think he’s a bit eccentric.

I’m one of those people — there are a lot of us — who is always up for a Charles Manson movie. There have been so many! All the documentaries and dramatizations. Not to mention the TV specials, both prestige and tabloid, the broadcast interviews with Manson acolytes like Tex Watson and Patricia Krenwinkel, and the epic-event television interviews with Charlie himself, like the famous one conducted by Tom Snyder in 1981 or the one that Charlie Rose did with Manson in 1986. Then there are the books, from Ed Sanders’ “The Family” to Jeff Guinn’s “Manson” to the one that remains the granddaddy of all Manson studies, Vincent Bugliosi’s “Helter Skelter,” the best-selling crime book in history (seven million copies).

The Manson saga has been excavated from every angle. Yet I’m always open to any new ray of light that can be shed on its darkness. So I sat...

Plenty of the issues between Chantel Everett and Pedro arose because of his family. Additionally, her family seemed over-the-top. Even though they bought a home together, too much interference from both sides caused a heavy strain on their relationship. With their divorce finalized, they sold the home and went their separate ways.

interestingly, Pedro Jimeno’s mom, Lidia Morel later featured in Love In Paradise: The Caribbean in Season 3, with Scott Wern. While Pedro didn’t return to the TLC franchise Chantel Everett did, and she returned for 90 Day: The Single Life. However, too many fans...

“The Family” has lost its first member on Deal or No Deal Island. On Tuesday’s (February 4) latest episode, “Trust Fall,” host Joe Manganiello pulled a fast one on the contestants when he revealed after they paired up that they’d be playing against each other instead of in lockstep during the daily challenge. Unfortunately for Maria-Grace Cook, that meant that she had to contend with her show-dad, David Genat, and when he won the daily, she was in contention for elimination. Once Dr. Will Kirby sabotaged his own game, though, Mg seemed to be pretty safe. After all, he’d already been pushing for Courtney Kim a.k.a. Ck to be ousted when Dickson Wong won against the banker, so it stood to reason he’d go after her himself when given the chance. Only, secret deals were made for Will to oust Mg instead. And when his...

On Tuesday night, history was made during NBC’s reality TV show when Dickson Wong added a massive $5 million to the prize pot. He turned down increasingly lucrative deals of $421,000, $1.45 million, and $3.2 million, believing he had the highest amount, $5 million, in his own case. He was right. “Big Dickson Energy!” shouted his fellow cast members.

“That is a Deal or No Deal Island record,” confirmed host and game master Joe Manganiello, “$5 million will be added to the final case. You have made a good deal.” Remember, the “final case” is a cumulative total that includes every banked amount from the entire season. It will be available for a contestant to potentially win in the finale’s face-off with the Banker. After Dickson’s turn, the final case is currently up to $5,531,001.

Breaking through to the other side and witnessing things from a ghostly plane isn't new for the horror genre. Films like "Haunter," "The Others," and "The Sixth Sense," to name a few, have all provided viewers a glimpse into the afterlife. Director Steven Soderbergh's new horror film "Presence" (check out our review here) offers a different kind of supernatural experience, as we view the entire story from a first-person paranormal perspective, featuring a ghost that only reveals itself after a death in the final act.

Early in "Presence," a medium visiting the house explains that the afterlife doesn't follow the same rules of time as ours, and the spirit is unaware of who they are or when they exist. This sets up the twist that the ghost is, in fact, Tyler Payne (Eddy Maday...

Pedro Jimeno from The Family Chantel has re-entered the dating scene over two years after divorcing Chantel Everett, but he is currently facing challenges with finding a partner. He originally moved to the United States to marry Chantel, and despite family drama, the couple tied the knot in 2016. However, their marriage wasn't a happy one, as they continued to deal with conflicts with their families. Pedro later became a real estate agent and decided to separate from his American wife. In May 2022, he filed for divorce from Chantel. Since then, he has been focusing on his career and recently adopted two black cats.

While Pedro's professional life is thriving, he has decided to dip his toes into the dating world. However, he is struggling to find a partner he likes.

Pedro recently reposted an Instagram post from @warrior.lifehacking on his Instagram Story, discussing the challenges he is currently facing in the dating pool.

Making Manson, a three-part docuseries on Peacock, examines Charles Manson’s life and legacy as America’s symbol of cultic control and countercultural disorder.

Director Billie Mintz and Paramount Films present audio recordings spanning 20 years of Manson’s phone calls with autograph collector John Michael Jones. These tapes reveal Manson’s mindset through his own voice, while talks with ex-“Family” members and others show different views of his story.

The series spans three episodes showing different periods of Manson’s path. Each part moves from his early years through his control of “The Family” to the 1969 Tate-labianca murders and what followed. Old footage mixed with new interviews creates a less simplified view of someone often seen as a one-dimensional monster.

He first moved to the United States in 2016 to marry Chantel Everett. Despite the conflicts between their families, the couple got married. However, their marriage didn't last long. Pedro filed for divorce in May 2022 due to constant drama and cheating accusations from his wife. Since then, he has been working on self-improvement and making strides in his career as a real estate agent. Most recently, Pedro welcomed two black cats into his home in Georgia.

After six years with Chantel, Pedro unexpectedly ended their relationship, causing many The Family Chantel viewers to accuse him of scamming her to gain entry to the United States. However, he has now revealed that he no longer dreams of living the American dream and desires to move back to his home country.

As he continues to fill out his administration, Donald Trump has appointed Jon Voight, Mel Gibson, and Sylvester Stallone to serve as “Special Ambassadors” to a “great but very troubled place,” Hollywood, California.

In a statement to Truth Social on Thursday, Trump announced that the trio of longtime supporters and veteran actors/filmmakers will serve as “Special Envoys to me for the purpose of bringing Hollywood, which has lost much business over the last four years to Foreign Countries, Back—Bigger, Better, And Stronger Than Ever Before!”

“These three very talented people will be my eyes and ears, and I will get done what they suggest,” Trump added. “It will again be, like The United States of America itself, The Golden Age of Hollywood!”

All three celebrities have buddied up to Trump in recent years. Voight has been a longtime supporter, calling the president-elect “the greatest president since Lincoln” and...

Pedro Jimeno has redeemed himself with many The Family Chantel fans, ultimately repairing his previously villainous Although. I was never a fan of Pedro due to his lack of loyalty to Chantel Everett and his self-centered nature. While I enjoyed watching his journey with Chantel, I didn't appreciate how he seldom made an effort to ensure his family accepted his wife as their own. Pedro's behavior caused many issues in his relationship with Chantel. While her family members contributed to a lot of drama, Pedro, his mother, Lidia Morel, and his sister, Nicole Jimeno, were also instigators.

Like many other viewers, I began to dislike Pedro in the last three seasons of The Family Chantel. I didn't appreciate how he mistreated Chantel, disregarding her past sacrifices and intentions. Pedro ridiculed Chantel's love and prioritized his new job as a real estate agent over resolving their marital issues. He abruptly abandoned their marriage without any warnings,...

Pedro Jimeno from The Family Chantel opens up about his challenges as a real estate agent in Atlanta, Georgia. He immigrated to the United States from the Dominican Republic in pursuit of a future with his now ex-wife, Chantel Everett. Pedro had hoped for a peaceful life with his wife but was caught off guard by family conflicts and drama. In 2021, he obtained his real estate agent license and began to prioritize his career. As he focused on his work, he stopped communicating with Chantel, leading to rumors that he was having affairs with his female co-workers and boss.

When Pedro broke up with Chantel, he told her that he no longer loved her and wanted to focus on his career. However, his recent career update suggests that he's not enjoying his job as a real estate agent.

Recently, Pedro posted two Instagram Stories regarding the challenges he faces at work.

Pedro Jimeno from The Family Chantel has shared a video explaining why he feels like a parent of two misbehaving children these days. He was previously married to his American wife, Chantel Everett, who is from Atlanta, Georgia. Initially, Pedro loved Chantel but eventually began to despise her lifestyle and toxic family. He rejected the idea of having a baby with her and stopped being intimate. In 2022, Pedro moved out of the home he shared with Chantel and started living a single life. Eventually, he asked Chantel for a divorce, stating he no longer loved her.

Pedro's reputation took a hit after his difficult breakup with Chantel, with accusations of being a scammer and a cheater. However, over the past two years, he has been able to rebuild his reputation with some of The Family Chantel viewers by sharing positive and inspiring content.

Recently, Pedro posted an Instagram Story about feeling like a parent lately.

Sometimes, it’s not the actual 90 Day Fiancé couples who stir the pot on the franchise, but it’s their families who manage to raise chaos in the series. Over the years, the families and supporting cast members have become an integral part of the 90 Day Fiancé franchise. In fact, some families were so entertaining and interesting that they went on to have their own spin-off. This was the case with Season 4 star Chantel Everett, who later appeared in her own spin-off The Family Chantel with her then-husband Pedro Jimeno.

Pedro was charmed by Chantel's personality and soon entered a relationship with her. Within a few months of dating, Pedro made the decision to marry Chantel and move to the United States. He invited Chantel to the Dominican Republic, and she applied for his K-1 visa upon returning to the United States. Pedro and Chantel appeared in 90 Day Fiancé season 4 to televise their romantic journey.

Pedro and Chantel initially faced many challenges. Chantel didn't inform her family that she had invited Pedro to the United States on a K-1 visa, leading to drama later.

The Family Chantel concluded in 2023, but there are still ways the network can bring it back and make it more interesting. The spin-off show first premiered in 2019, but its main premise dates back to 2015 when Chantel Everett and Pedro Jimeno debuted in 90 Day Fiancé season 4. The American woman and the Dominican man met through a mutual friend with the intention of teaching each other their respective native languages, but ended up falling in love instead. Chantel and Pedro spent some time together in the Dominican Republic, and they felt complete and decided to marry.

Chantel filed for Pedro's K-1 visa before filming 90 Day Fiancé season 4. She didn't inform her family about her intentions and misled them about the reason for Pedro's arrival in the United States. Eventually, Chantel had a discussion with her parents, Karen and Thomas Everett, about her plans to marry Pedro. Eventually, her parents gave their blessing.
