When HBO Max announced a Big Bang Theory spin-off built around Stuart, the comic shop guy, I rolled my eyes so hard I nearly pulled something. Stuart was the guy you felt bad for between punchlines. Making him the lead of a multiverse sci-fi comedy sounded like a franchise squeezing the last drops out of…
I’ll be honest: when I first heard that the guy who runs the comic book shop was getting his own show, I rolled my eyes so hard I nearly pulled something. Stuart? Stuart Bloom? The human embodiment of a sad trombone? Leading a multiverse adventure? Then I watched the first episode. Then I watched three…
I’ve watched The Big Bang Theory universe grow for almost two decades, and I never expected the guy who couldn’t keep his comic shop afloat to carry a sci-fi series. Then HBO Max handed Stuart Bloom the keys to the multiverse, and the season one finale of Stuart Fails to Save the Universe did something…
Spring, 1959. A small hotel on an islet off Mallorca. A storm cuts the place off from the mainland. Thirteen people are stuck inside, and one of them, a quiet English tourist named Elisa Mander, turns up dead. The police shrug it off as suicide. Then someone looks closer, and the “suicide” starts smelling like…
Still with me? Good, because we need to talk. I’ve watched a lot of locked-room mysteries, and most of them end the same way: the detective gathers everyone in a drawing room, points a finger, and the culprit crumbles. The Final Problem does none of that. It gives you the puzzle, solves it, and then…
I went into The Final Problem expecting a tidy locked-room puzzle with a nice period hat on it. Four episodes later I was staring at the credits, mildly annoyed and completely hooked. Netflix dropped this Spanish thriller on September 25, 2026, and it has been rattling around my head ever since. Here’s what happens, who…
Let’s get the elevator pitch out of the way, because it’s ridiculous in the best and worst ways: a neurotic dad sneaks his 13-year-old into Rolling Loud Miami, loses him within minutes, and spends one long night tearing through the crowd to get him back. Owen Wilson is the dad. Matt Rife is the walking…
I did not have “Owen Wilson gets trapped inside a Travis Scott crowd surge” on my 2026 bingo card. Nobody did. And yet here we are, three days out from Rolling Loud: The Movie, and my group chats are split into two camps: people who cannot wait, and people who keep saying “this is going…
I’ve watched enough movies to know when a premise sounds like a bad joke and when it sounds like a good bad joke. Rolling Loud: The Movie is the second kind. An uptight dad takes his 13-year-old to the biggest hip-hop festival on the planet, loses him during a Travis Scott set, and has to…
I need to talk about this because I have been staring at trailers, red carpet clips, and Reddit threads for days now and I cannot stop thinking about it. Alejandro G. Iñárritu — the guy who gave us Birdman and The Revenant — just teamed up with Tom Cruise for something called Digger, and it…
