The series of short films, produced by Tim Miller, Jennifer Miller, and Joshua Donen first debuted in 2019 with an 18-episode first season followed by an eight-episode second season.

Some fans like to watch Star Wars in a “machete order,” and now they take that same approach to play the new LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga game.
“As a Star Wars fan, beginning LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga feels like a huge responsibility. You’re about to play through all nine films in the Skywalker Saga in a single game for the first time—and right off the bat, you’re forced to make the decision of all decisions: which movie do you start with?”
In some sad news, the Mina Harker Dracula movie being developed by the creator of Jennifer’s Body appears to be dead before it could ever get started.
“In extremely disappointing news, it looks like Karyn Kusama’s Mina Harker just got dusted. The Jennifer’s Body director was set to direct a woman-centered take on Dracula which would focus on the novel’s heroine Mina Harker. The film would have seen Jasmine Cephas Jones (Hamilton, Blindspotting) in the title role, as Harker encounters Dracula in present-day Los Angeles. It’s a surprising turn for the Blumhouse and Miramax project, which was apparently only 3 weeks away from shooting. Miramax was said to have left the project over creative differences with Kusama. Phil Hay, one of the film’s co-writers, tweeted about the film’s cancellation.”
Basketball legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar heavily criticized the HBO dramatization of the Lakers dynasty Winning Time.
“Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has stated his piece on the HBO series Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty, and boy does he have some critiques. The legendary basketball player’s issues do not lie with any inaccuracies or dramatization of the events covered in the series, but come from a storytelling perspective. For Abdul-Jabbar, if you’re going to be historically inaccurate, at least make it interesting.”

“On July 13, 1985, London’s Wembley Stadium hosted the legendary Live Aid charity concert, which provided the setting for what would become Freddie Mercury’s most iconic performance—a dazzling display of showmanship in which Queen’s mustachioed frontman had the entire crowd in the palm of his hand. Sadly, just seven years after the famous “Ay-Ohs” of that day, that same stage became the setting for Mercury’s musical eulogy.”
