‘Halloweentown High’

While it often feels like the "forgotten" Halloweentown movie, Halloweentown High—the third installment in the beloved Disney franchise—is certainly not one to skip over. With Marnie (Kimberly J. Brown) continuing her efforts to bridge the gap between the mortal world and Halloweentown, she sets up an exchange student program that allows...

‘Elsbeth’ Season 3

I know there are a lot of shows on broadcast television these days that are asking, nay, begging for your attention, but as far as I am concerned, one of the few worthy of your time is Elsbeth. A hilarious, silly, and always smart drama that brings in A-List guest stars week after week, there are few shows that I look forward to on a weekly basis...

‘A House of Dynamite’

A House of Dynamite on Netflix is the scariest movie I’ve watched in years, and it’s not even a horror film. This new political thriller from Oscar-winning director Kathryn Bigelow is a bone-chilling look at what might happen if—or when, as the movie’s tagline suggests—one of the U.S.’s many enemies decides to launch a nuclear war head ...

‘IT: Welcome to Derry’

HBO's IT: Welcome to Derry is a twisted new addition to the larger Stephen King cinematic universe. Simultaneously a prequel series to Andy Muschietti's 2017 and 2019 IT films and an origin story for The Shining's Dick Hallorann (Chris Chalk), IT: Welcome to Derry follows what went down in the creepy Maine town 27 years before the Loser's Club met ...

‘9-1-1’ Season 9

A tech billionaire played by Mark Consuelos gets eaten by a whale. A geomagnetic storm rains down fire on Los Angeles. Angela Bassett goes to space. These are but three of the deeply, yet delightfully unhinged events 9-1-1 fans can expect to see in Season 9 of ABC hit drama, which kicked off its supersized four-part opening emergency on October...
