Stranger Things Season 4 Gets Spoiled by Monopoly Tie-In Game
A Monopoly-themed tie-in to the hit Netflix show Stranger Things has spoiled major plot points of the upcoming Season 4. Don’t worry, we would never spoil them here, but for the time being, be particularly careful when going down the rabbit hole that is Reddit from now until the season’s May 27th premiere. (The second and final batch of Season 4 episodes — billed as “Volume 2” — will hit the streamer later this summer on July 1st.) According to The Hollywood Reporter, creators Matt and Ross Duffer had a “total meltdown” over the leak, though a user on Reddit claims they found the updated version of the long-running game at “a nationally recognized retailer” and that it was “purchased fair and square by a consumer. Nobody stole it; nobody leaked a sample.” However, the outlet also notes tha...
Shit Gets Real in Trailer for Peacock’s Queer as Folk Reboot: Watch
Peacock is rebooting Queer as Folk for the modern age, and this time around, the drama is more about real-life messes than fantastical escapades. Watch the trailer for the series, which drops June 9th, below. Creator, executive producer, writer, and director Stephen Dunn took the reins from original series creator Russell T. Davies for this iteration of Queer as Folk, which is set not in 1999 Manchester, but 2022 New Orleans — “one of the most unique queer communities in North America,” the writer said in a statement. Subsequently, the updated series is much more diverse and much more willing to tackle the nuances of LGBTQ life. To that end, the series’ trailer depicts a group of friends — Brodie (Devin Way), Mingus (Fin Argus), Ruthie (Jesse James Keitel), Shar (CG), N...

Music Supervisor Juliet Martin on Creating the Soundtrack of Conversations With Friends: “It’s a Team Effort”
In Episode 5 of Conversations With Friends, there’s a moment of quiet reconciliation between two of the central characters, Frances (Alison Oliver) and Bobbi (Sasha Lane): As two friends who seem stuck in a loop of hurting one another and acting selfishly, its a gentle, dialogue-free visual of the two women hooking their pinkies together that speaks to forgiveness. Then, “Nod” by Julianna Barwick and Nosaj Thing kicks in, and the whole moment takes flight. Juliet Martin is the mastermind behind this moment and many others on Conversations With Friends, although she’d probably dispute that description. Speaking with Consequence over the phone, she paints a portrait of how many of those needledrop moments come together. “People sometimes have a misconception that the Music Supervisor’s ...
Spider-Man Director Jon Watts to Helm Star Wars Series Inspired by 1980s Steven Spielberg
Have you ever wondered what the Goonies would make of a Gungan, or wanted to see how E.T. and Elliot would handle the Hutts? We may find out, because Jon Watts, who directed the latest Spider-Man trilogy, has been tapped to helm a new Star Wars series for Disney+, and according to Lucasfilm it’s inspired by Steven Spielberg’s “classic Amblin coming-of-age adventure films of the ’80s.” As Vanity Fair reports, Watts’ series is currently known by the code name Grammar Rodeo, which is a reference to an episode of The Simpsons in which Bart and his friends lie to their parents about attending a scholarly competition and instead go joyriding in a car. Watts co-created the project with writer Chris Ford; the pair previously worked together on the screenplay...

Helen Mirren and Harrison Ford are joining the ever-expanding Yellowstone universe. Paramount+ has announced that the highly decorated actors will star in the latest prequel of the neo-Western’s origin story. Currently titled 1932, it debuts on the streamer in December. Coming from Yellowstone co-creator Taylor Sheridan, 1932 will follow the Dutton family during a time of western expansion at the intersection of the Prohibition and Great Depression, where pandemics and a historic drought also made life difficult.

Meanwhile, the Kevin Costner-led Yellowstone debuted in 2018 and just wrapped...
