James Gunn Reassures Fans ‘Peacemaker’ Season Two Is Safe at HBO Max
James Gunn eased the worries of Peacemaker fans by reassuring them that the show’s upcoming season will continue on HBO Max. The director responded to a fan on Twitter who wrote that they have “[b]een a little worried that the alleged shake-up at [Warner Bros],” replying with a photo of John Cena as at the titular character and writing, “No need to be worried on behalf of #Peacemaker.

This adds to Warner Bros.’ recent shelving of the already-finished Batgirl film, which was estimated to cost at around $70 million USD to $90 million USD. Leslie Grace, who was poised to play the t...

‘UNTOLD: Operation Flagrant Foul’ Follows the NBA’s Biggest Scandal Involving Tim Donaghy
Netflix has shared the trailer of its upcoming UNTOLD film, Operation Flagrant Foul. Directed by David Terry Fine, Operation Flagrant Foul follows the story of the former referee and Tim Donaghy — the NBA‘s biggest scandal that scratched the surface of sports gambling and organized crime: “In the summer of 2007, news broke that an NBA referee was being investigated for gambling on his own games, igniting a media storm and sending the NBA, FBI and sports fans into crisis. That referee was Tim Donaghy and the story didn’t just start and end with him, but wound its way from the small town bookies of the Philadelphia suburbs to lining the pockets of the notorious New York crime families and worldwide sports gambling underworld. For the first time, all three co-conspirators discuss their involv...

So, let’s all make it happen collectively, guys.” While the announcement gained a lot of traction online and ...
Forever 1: Breaking Down the Legacy of Girls’ Generation, Fifteen Years in the Making
Last week, on August 5th, eight-member K-pop group Girls’ Generation landed a comeback with their latest album, FOREVER 1. While the term “comeback” has a different meaning within the world of K-pop — it’s typically used to refer to any new music from an artist or group, no matter how long the gap has been between releases — the term really fits here in the more traditional sense. So go ahead — call it a comeback. Girls’ Generation, which consists of members Taeyeon, Sunny, Tiffany, Hyoyeon, Yuri, Sooyoung, Yoona, and Seohyun, debuted in 2007, and this new album has arrived to coincide with their fifteenth anniversary.

Makin’ Tracks: Miranda Lambert Navigates a Pandemic-Era House of Mirrors in ‘Strange’
It’s a little early to be thinking about trick-or-treaters, but Miranda Lambert’s “Strange” is perhaps a good soundtrack for ultra-organized planners considering this year’s Halloween costume. “It does sound like this creepy carnival in a cool way,” she says with a laugh.
