While the animated series "The Spectacular Spider-Man" has one of the best takes on Mary Jane Watson, the show made a rare choice among Spidey adaptations and didn't use Mj (Vanessa Marshall) as Peter Parker's (Josh Keaton) primary love interest. Instead, the show focused on Peter's romance with Gwen Stacy (Lacey Chabert). In the process, it modernized and revitalized Gwen Stacy's character, who was most famous for her dramatic but abrupt death in "The Amazing Spider-Man" #121 back in 1973.

In the season 1 finale of "The Spectacular Spider-Man," "Nature vs. Nurture," Eddie Brock/Venom (Ben Diskin) tells Peter he's going to hurt the person who he loves the most. Peter thinks he's talking about Mj, and so does the audience if they knew the Sam Raimi "Spider-Man" movies. But Venom is actually after Gwen. The symbiote, having previously bonded with Peter in body and mind,...

Michelle Vicary is returning to Hallmark, this time as head of programming. In her new role, the longtime exec will oversee all production and original programming across Hallmark’s content platforms.

Vicary was part of Hallmark’s media business since its inception. After serving multiple positions, she exited the company as executive VP of programming in 2021 after 22 years at the company.

During her tenure, she spearheaded some of the most successful series and films for the company, including “When Calls the Heart,” “Good Witch,” and “Chesapeake Shores.”

Vicary expanded the company’s commitment to diverse storytelling, hiring multiple LGBTQ+ actors and greenlighting movies like “Wedding Every Weekend” and “The Christmas House,” the latter of which earned the network its first GLAAD Media Award nomination. One of her main focuses while at the company was to hire actors of all ages and from all beliefs and backgrounds, including Holly Robinson Peete.

The network is well-known for releasing holiday-themed productions over the years, and this year will be no different. Two Hallmark Channel favorites are set to reunite for a heartwarming Christmas movie to be released as part of the network’s annual “Countdown to Christmas” event later this year. These iconic stars are Lacey Chabert and Andrew Walker, who were last seen together in 2018’s My Secret Valentine.

The Movie Will Premiere Later This Fall

The film is set to debut later this autumn and will center around two Halloween-loving neighbors on Evergreen Lane: Brown, (Luna), and her actual husband, Daniel Kountz as Marvin. “These new neighbors must be huge Halloween fans!”

She’s Making a List stars Chabert as Naughty or Nice inspector Isabel Haynes, who doesn’t anticipate anything out of the ordinary when she’s assigned to evaluate an 11-year-old boy named Charlie Duncan. But no holiday movie would be complete without a romantic twist, so of course Isabel falls in love with Charlie’s widowed father Jason (Walker), which makes her “question the rigid rules of her job,...

“Lost in Space” is back from the darkest recesses of the cosmos.

Arrow Video, one of the great boutique home video labels, is bringing Stephen Hopkins’ 1998 space opera, based on Irwin Allen’s 1965 television series, back with a deluxe 4K Uhd package stuffed with special features this September. And as part of the release, Arrow has created a modern-style trailer, which you can watch below.

If you never saw “Lost in Space” when it was originally released, it smartly repurposed many elements from the original series – the robot, the villainous Doctor Smith (played here by a mustache-twirling Gary Oldman) and the Robinson family – while adding more twists and turns. If the original series was “Swiss Family Robinson” in space, this was considerably more complex. And much of that should be given to Hopkins, who was one of the more underrated auteurs of the decade, consistently bringing audiences thrilling, visually inventive popcorn movies.

Spider-Man is the most famous "nerd" superhero, so it's extra funny that Peter Parker has also had so many girlfriends. But there's one woman who always comes back: Mary Jane Watson. Mj's been part of Spider-Man's world since her first on-panel appearance in "The Amazing Spider-Man" #42, by Stan Lee and John Romita Sr. It took a while for her and Peter to truly get together, but Mj's the girl Peter Parker eventually married, no matter what Marvel Comics editorial has been saying since the controversial arc "One More Day."

Mary Jane is so famous as the Spider-Man love interest that a lot of adaptations skip right to her, like the 1994 "Spider-Man" cartoon produced by John Semper, Brian Michael Bendis and Mark Bagley's "Ultimate Spider-Man" comic reboot, and the Sam Raimi "Spider-Man" films, for instance. But to use...

"Family Guy" has amassed countless comparisons to its Fox brethren "The Simpsons," but with over 20 seasons under its belt, it's safe to say the animated sitcom has forged its own path at this point. Sure, "Family Guy" has had its share of duds over the years, but it's also responsible for some truly great comedy. From giant chicken fights to Peter Griffin (Seth MacFarlane) declaring that "The Godfather" insists upon itself, we all remember where we were when we saw these jokes for the first time.

But what are the absolute funniest "Family Guy" episodes of all time? We're talking about the storylines that are pound for pound crammed with the best jokes in the series' history. It's one thing for a random cutaway to inspire a chuckle, but so many episodes are consistently entertaining throughout. These are the funniest "Family Guy" episodes with the greatest premises and best gags.

It’s been more than two decades since Lindsay Lohan and Rachel McAdams’ classic Mean Girls hit the theatre. But the movie’s grip on pop culture hasn’t loosened one bit. It’s a 2004 teen comedy that grew into a generational favorite. Now, its legacy is still alive and well on streaming. The movie, which earned $130 million at the box office, is currently sitting in the Top 10 movies list of Paramount+.

While much of its success has been credited to Tina Fey’s sharp writing, the movie’s success might never have happened if it weren’t for the perfect cast. It might have turned out differently if not for Rachel McAdams and the casting twist.

The third installment of Haul Out The Holly features a Halloweentown twist—what do fans of the feel-good network need to be aware of regarding this upcoming double holiday film?

Christmas Queen Lacey Chabert Becomes The Queen Of Halloween

Are Hallmark enthusiasts excited to watch Christmas Queen Lacey Chabert transform into the Queen of Halloween? On Friday, Lacey Chabert took to Instagram to reveal the third installment of Haul Out The Holly, now featuring a Halloween theme.

“Our new neighbors on Evergreen Lane are really into Halloween—Haul Out the Halloween is coming to Hallmark this fall!-it’s a dream to return to Evergreen Lane.”

This festive film stars Lacey Chabert alongside Wes Brown, and additionally, Melissa Peterman returns, along with Stephen Tobolowsky and General Hospital’s Gloria Cerullo, Ellen Travolta.

Two Halloweentown stars are poised to reunite for a new movie about Halloween. The first Halloweentown movie premiered on Disney Channel in 1998 and focused on Kimberly J. Brown's Marnie Piper, as she learned that her family, the Cromwells, were secretly magical. After discovering her nature, she visits Halloweentown, where she encounters ghosts, witches, and more supernatural creatures. In the second movie, she encounters Kal (Daniel Kountz), the son of the evil warlock Kalabar. Though they played enemies in the four-film franchise, Brown and Kountz fell in love and eventually married.

Now, Kimberly J. Brown and Daniel Kountz will be reuniting onscreen decades after the Halloweentown franchise concluded. On her official TikTok account, Brown released a video that details their next major acting project with a fun skit. Check out the post below:

@officialkjbThe new neighbors moving into Evergreen Lane really love Halloween.

According to TVLine, the newest sequel, Haul Out the Halloween, will feature Kimberly J. Brown and Daniel Kountz. The pair, who actually married in real life, starred in Halloweentown 2: Kalabar's Revenge.

Megan Fox has taken on plenty of iconic roles over the years, but one film she came close to starring in has returned to streaming charts over 20 years later. Fox was one of the many names considered for the role of Karen in Mean Girls, the 2004 cult classic led by Lindsay Lohan and Rachel McAdams. The part of Karen ultimately went to Amanda Seyfried, who almost played McAdams’ iconic Regina George. Mean Girls was released in 2004, and the film has since returned to streaming charts on Paramount+, sitting at #4 at the time of writing. Mean Girls earned a “certified fresh” 84% from critics on Rotten Tomatoes and a 66% on the audience-driven Popcornmeter. It also grossed $130 million at the box office against a modest budget of only $17 million.

Corus Entertainment is leaning heavily into its long-standing content agreement for Peacock programming in its 2025/26 slate, while picking up Dmv starring Harriet Dyer and Tim Meadows, Dick Wolf’s New Procedural Drama CIA and Sheriff Country.

The Canadian broadcaster and streamer’s networks W and Showcase are getting several shows from Peacock and Sky, both of which sit in the NBCUniversal stable. Streaming service Stacktv will have all the titles, whose launch dates are currently not known. The programs were unveiled at Corus’s Specialty Upfront today in Canada.

Showcase will get The Office spinoff comedy series The Paper, which is from Greg Daniels and Michael Koman, and stars Domhnall Gleeson and Sabrina Impacciatore (The White Lotus), and The Copenhagen Test, the Simu Liu-starring espionage thriller series that follows first generation-American intelligence analyst who realizes his brain has been hacked, giving the perpetrators access to everything he sees and hears.

Few things bring people together like movies do — especially family films. And there are a whole lot to choose from at any given time, especially on Netflix.

Maybe you need an easy afternoon watch for the kids, or you’re looking for a meatier movie night for the whole family. Maybe you’re even watching alone and just want to see a good found family trope. There are countless options.

So, we’re going to try and make it easier for you. Below, you’ll find seven of the best kids and family movies streaming specifically on Netflix right now.

Universal Pictures Sing (2016)

Sometimes you just need a fun jukebox musical brought to life by A-list celebs voicing insane animals. And so, we suggest “Sing.” It’s got Matthew McConaughey, Reese Witherspoon, Jennifer Hudson, Tori Kelly, and so many more, singing your favorite songs in a talent show to save a local theater.

Hollywood seems to have run out of fresh ideas, and we’re living in an era when every classic show is rebooted or revived.

I loved the 1980s and 1990s television shows, but did not want to see everyone rebooted. Some were classics for a reason, and others ran long enough in their prime.

On Monday, Variety announced that a 7th Heaven reboot is in early development. Why? While I loved the first several seasons, it’s a prime example of a series that ran too long and does not need to return.

(The WB/Screenshot)

7th Heaven ran for 11 seasons on The WB and The CW and followed the Camden family.

It was a family favorite back then as it explored how Rev. Eric Camden and his wife dealt with their many children.

While it leaned Christian, it wasn’t overly preachy, and featured some of the best sibling relationships on television.

Mean Girls remains one of the most iconic teen movies, and that’s partly down to the all-around perfect casting choices that were made behind the scenes. Can you even imagine what it would have been like if the lineup of talent had been different!?

Lindsay Lohan, Rachel McAdams, Amanda Seyfied and Lacey Chabert grounded the movie as members of The Plastics – teen royalty of North Shore High School.

They were joined by other talented young actors such as Jonathan Bennett, Daniel Franzese and Lizzy Caplan alongside comedy legends Tina Fey and Amy Poehler.

However, Mean Girls almost looked very different. For starters, all three members of The Plastics auditioned for other parts in the movie before they were finally cast. Several other actresses were also in the running for parts, and an A-list actor was considered for Jonathan‘s character Aaron Samuels.

Afterward, The Voice coach took to her Instagram Story to share a meme from Mean Girls that addressed her reaction to the situation.

Her boyfriend, Chase Stokes, also reacted to the losses by posting a video of Ballerini’s performance from the show with the caption, “Entertainer of the Year. Goodnight.” Ballerini was nominated in the coveted category for the first time but lost to Wilson, who took home the honor for the second year in a row. Ballerini...

The annual event honors new and returning award-aspiring shows within the entire NBCU family. Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson served as the DJ.

"People are kind," Zellweger told Gold Derby about the positive fan reaction to her Peacock film Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy. "I have wonderful conversations with folks about the things that they related to and how they felt in watching it. They really, like me, love spending time in her universe, so it's a cool thing when you walk around and have something in common with folks that you've never met before."

In her free time, the two-time Oscar-winning actress for Cold Mountain (2003) and Judy (2019) is "finally catching up on Yellowstone.

Lindsay Lohan was recently a guest on Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live.

The actress reunited at one point with Mean Girls co-star Lacey Chabert and confirmed that she may one day star in an Ann-Margaret biopic.

The response to Lohan’s appearance, however, focused a lot less on what she said with her mouth … and a lot more with how she looked.

Especially when it came to her face.

Lindsay Lohan appears here on Watch What Happens Live. (Bravo)

Lohan has been largely out of the spotlight for a number of years.

She has appeared in the occasional music video or narrated the occasional television series over the past few years, but it’s easy to forget at this point that Lohan was a celebrity gossip mainstay for years back in the early and mid-2000s.

Not always for the most positive of reasons, either.

Alright folks, buckle up because I’m about to take you on a wild, bloody, and absurdly hilarious ride through Novocaine. A movie that’s equal parts action flick, rom-com, and Looney Tunes cartoon with a body count. This is the kind of film where you laugh until you wince, wince until you laugh, and then realize you’re probably a little messed up for enjoying it so much. Directed by Dan Berk and Robert Olsen, and starring the perpetually charming Jack Quaid, Novocaine is what happens when you give a guy who can’t feel pain a reason to care and a kitchen full of sharp objects. Let’s dive in.

Mean Girls was a major success when it came out in 2004, but its popularity has only grown over the years. The movie further grew into a franchise that includes a made-for-tv sequel, a Broadway stage musical, and a film adaptation of the stage play.

However, even with all the additions, the 2004 teen comedy movie has become a cult classic. Starring Lindsay Lohan, Rachel McAdams, Lizzy Caplan, Lacey Chabert, and Amanda Seyfried, the actors are often recognized for their roles in the hit comedy. In a new appearance on Happy Sad Confused, Seyfried showed her appreciation for Mean Girls and reacted to people always quoting the movie back to her.

Amanda Seyfried is forever indebted to Mean Girls.

In an interview on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Seyfried reflected on the 2004 teen comedy and the “unadulterated fun” she had while making the film when she was 17.

Host Josh Horowitz reminded Seyfried how loved the film is to this day. “Until the day you die, a 14-year-old girl will come up to you every day and quote you as if it just came out the day before.” Horowitz said.

“I hope they quote it on my grave,” said Seyfried, who played Karen Smith in the movie. “That’s an organic moment. It was, in many ways, a perfect movie, and people relate to it, still. It connected us, and it continues to. I will always be excited to talk about it,” adding “Any day, I’ll honor that movie for what it did for me as a person.”

Amanda Seyfried will always remember Mean Girls, even in the afterlife.

During her recent appearance on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, host Josh Horowitz brought up how the 2004 teen comedy is still so beloved today and potentially “bigger in the zeitgeist than maybe it was 20 years ago.” Seyfried played Karen Smith in the film.

“Until the day you die, a 14-year-old girl will come up to you every day and quote you as if [Mean Girls] just came out the day before,” he said.

The Mamma Mia! actress noted that the film became a “forever moment,” before adding, “I hope they quote it on my grave…. In many ways, it was just a perfect movie.
