I was a hop, skip, and jump away from breaking out into song during this week's episode, mainly because of the historical cameos that popped up. Hamilton crossed paths with Outlander this week, with both General George Washington and Marquis de Lafayette making an appearance. If you're anything like me, you want to start singing your favorite songs fro the musical Hamilton.

In any case, this week's episode had a lot going on, with the Frasers finally on the precipice of the American Revolutionary War. It feels like this moment has been teased for a very long time, but it is finally here, and things look pretty frightening.

We also catch up with William (Charles Vandevaart), who is on his own journey after learning the truth of his father's identity: it's Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan). And we check in on Lord John Grey (David Berry), who has been on an...

Starz’s Outlander season seven episode 14 finally brings Lord John Grey back into the main story. Episode 14, written by author Diana Gabaldon, also finds Bree in danger and Claire meeting a key figure in American history.

“Ye Dinna Get Used to It” opens with a flashback to London 1775. Lord John Grey (David Berry) learns his brother, Harold “Hal” Grey (Sam Hoare), has gout and can’t travel to New York. John can but doesn’t want to, and he’s able to stop Hal from writing a commission. They have a bit of an argument over William, and John assures his brother that when the time comes, he’ll see to his commission. John believes it’s still possible for there to be a peaceful end to the American Revolution – if America apologizes.

Although Hal initially disagrees, he finally admits it...

After months of delays and reports of extraordinarily expensive reshoots, we finally have the first trailer for Captain America: Brave New World. Despite the extensive changes made to the film since it was first announced (including its title), it looks like the fourth Cap movie will deliver on the action-packed, Hulk-busting political thrills as promised. Check out the trailer below.

Production on Captain America: Brave New World initially wrapped in June 2023, but as Marvel retooled their more-is-more approach to content, the studio also made the call to rework the movie. Reportedly, an entire subplot involving supervillain team the Serpent Society was removed, while a new antagonist played by Giancarlo Esposito (reportedly the X-Men-adjacent S.H.I.E.L.D. agent G.W. Bridge) was added in over the course of months of reshoots.

Whatever changes were made, the Brave New World trailer makes clear that the Captain America...

With just four duos left, Season 36 of The Amazing Race is anyone’s for the taking. But who’s got what it takes to leave the other teams in the dirt and snatch that big prize?

The penultimate leg kicks off with a deep dive at Sosua Beach in the Dominican Republic. The first Detour gives them a choice between assembling diving rigs and crafting some tasty cocktails. All four teams choose the cocktails. (Who can blame them? Though I doubt any sampling is allowed on the race. Their loss is the pirates’ gain!). After Ricky and Cesar whip through their drinks,...

Many romantic comedies utilize deception as a key plot point. However, for every film that incorporates an inciting fib with smarts and heart (from “While You Were Sleeping” to “You’ve Got Mail”), there are others that lack a similar savvy finesse (like “How To Lose A Guy in 10 Days” and “The Wedding Date”). “Players” competes in the latter league. Acting as a dumbed-down, gender-swapped kissing cousin to “Hitch,” it centers on a gal and her pals who know all the right moves to land hookups. Director Trish Sie’s middling and at times mawkish film not only makes us hate the game, but also its players.

Sports reporter Mack (Gina Rodriguez) has been playing the field for a long time and she likes it that way. She and her conniving friends Adam (Damon Wayans Jr.), Sam (Augustus Prew) and his younger brother Little (Joel Courtney) routinely scheme and lie...
