The entire comedic bit centered around Finn Wolfhard growing up on the show, starting with a joke about being watched by 400 million people during his awkward teenage years. He was only 12 years old when the first season came out, and for a long time, that’s how everyone knew him – as “the kid from Stranger Things,” and likely still does. The monologue playfully touched on milestones he experienced on screen, like his first kiss and voice changing, and now being old enough to drink. They even showed a clip from the first season, altered to make his voice sound deeper. Wolfhard ended his time on stage by being joined by former castmates Caleb McLaughlin and Gaten Matarazzo to begin the show.

I’m so excited! Jorge Gutierrez, the director behind gorgeous films like The Book of Life and awesome shows like Maya and the Three, is working on something new! He just announced it on Instagram with a fun “Ándale, ándale! Arriba, arriba!” – that’s Speedy Gonzales’ famous line, by the way. We don’t know anything about the story or who’s writing it yet, but knowing Gutierrez, it’s going to be visually stunning and full of heart. Can’t wait to learn more!

Let’s talk about The Great Beyond, originally called Ghostwriter. The film follows a fantasy author, played by Glen Powell (known from The Running Man), who writes incredibly popular novels about a fantastical world. He soon discovers that this world he created isn’t fiction – it’s actually real! The story then focuses on his journey to find a way back home. It seems the filmmakers drew some inspiration from the ’80s sci-fi film The Last Starfighter, which isn’t surprising considering J.J. Abrams’ fondness for that era.

Galaxy’s Edge is visually stunning and incredibly detailed, making it feel like you’ve stepped right into the world of Star Wars. However, it’s missing a crucial element: a sense of life and movement. Unlike areas like Fantasyland, with its spinning carousel, or New Orleans Square, with the moving riverboat, Galaxy’s Edge feels static – almost like a beautiful, frozen picture. To truly bring the land to life, Disney needs to add something that’s constantly in motion. Reviving the originally planned Bantha ride could be a solution, or they could create something completely new. The key is to introduce kinetic energy and make the land feel vibrant and alive.

Julia Cooperman expressed her excitement about collaborating with Prime Video, The Jim Henson Company, and WEBTOON to create a series based on Rachel Smythe’s popular webcomic, Lore Olympus. She shared that she’s always been captivated by Greek mythology, from childhood books to university studies, and that Lore Olympus reminded her of the lasting appeal of these stories in contemporary media. She and the team are eager to bring this fresh, heartfelt, and relevant take on the Persephone and Hades myth to both new and existing fans.

The sketch also features Mike in Manhattan, showing Mike hanging out in New York City with Dustin and Lucas, enjoying cocktails. Dustin jokes about his consistently unlucky love life, and Lucas mentions he’s still dating Max, but things aren’t very fulfilling physically. This line received a lot of negative feedback, and understandably so. Many viewers also found the casual conversation about such personal topics to be a bit awkward, even within the context of a Stranger Things SNL sketch, though it’s worth remembering that the actors are all adults in real life.

The cover art is stunning, though the skull-shaped mountain is a bit unsettling. Still, we’re really looking forward to this new Star Trek story! We’re thrilled to exclusively reveal the official synopsis for Star Trek: Starfleet Academy – Lost Contact. Here’s a description of this exciting new 32nd-century adventure following Academy cadets aboard the U.S.S. Athena:

The film introduces us to Mickey (Zelda Adams), who has been battling a long-term illness. Despite undergoing chemotherapy and radiation, doctors have given her only a few months to live. But she finds a glimmer of hope in a dream, a call for healing from Solveig (Toby Poser), an enigmatic woman with a striking style – she always wears flowing black clothing. Solveig is a captivating character and perfectly embodies this haunting, all-black aesthetic.

Most knights in Westeros are loyal to a specific lord or castle, but “hedge knights” are different. They don’t serve anyone permanently and travel around Westeros taking on short-term jobs. Unlike other knights who own land, hedge knights don’t have a home base and choose their own assignments. They’re called “hedge knights” because they often sleep outdoors, under hedges and bushes, rather than in castles.

In Westeros, people—mostly men, but occasionally women—become “Sers” through a knighting ceremony performed by another knight, a powerful lord, or the King. As part of this, they all take the same vow to the Seven Gods. Knighthood was brought to Westeros thousands of years ago by the Andals, who also introduced the Faith of the Seven. This explains why knighthood isn’t common in the North, as they still follow the old gods.
