The White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting was the topic of the “Closer Look” segment on Monday night’s episode of NBC’s Late Night with Seth Meyers. Host Seth Meyers began the segment by thanking law enforcement and emphasizing he was glad that everyone was safe. He also thanked CNN’s Wolf Blitzer for his reporting from the Washington Hilton bathroom, even though the veteran news anchor was stuck there with 15 other men, a scenario Meyers described as his “actual nightmare.” “[If] Wolf is in the room, there must be a situation,” Meyers said, imagining the scene. “Also, what happens if you…

Evil Dead Franchise Ranked (Photo Credit: Prime Video) The Evil Dead franchise is an outlier even in horror, a genre associated with deranged killers and nightmarish monsters. The original, released in 1981, turned the typical remote-cabin-in-the-woods premise into one of cinema’s most beloved bloodlines. The sequel, released in 1987, turned up the insanity and manic energy to 11. Since then, the Sam Raimi-created franchise has become only bigger and weirder. It has moved beyond just Deadites and even beyond the great Bruce Campbell. And with Evil Dead Burn on the horizon, now feels like the perfect time to revisit and…
Netflix is doubling down on Korea’s appetite for political period thrillers. The streamer revealed Monday that it has begun production on The Generals (working title), a new film from acclaimed director Yoon Jong-bin chronicling the rise of South Korean dictator-turned-president Roh Tae-woo, the longtime second-in-command to military strongman Chun Doo-hwan.

The film centers on Roh Tae-woo (Son Suk-ku), a…
George Clooney was honored with Film at Lincoln Center’s prestigious Chaplin Award in recognition of his Oscar-winning career as an actor, writer, director and producer. But in recent years, Clooney has become as well known for his political views as he has been for his work behind and in front of the camera. So it’s not surprising that in accepting the Chaplin Award in New York Monday, just days after the White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting, Clooney felt the need to address recent political events. “I can’t be here on a night like tonight and just ignore everything that’s going…
Matthew Lillard is crediting his recent resurgence in Hollywood to nostalgia. The 56-year-old actor, best known for his 90s and early 2000s roles in the live-action Scooby-Doo films and the Scream franchise, opened up on the Phase Hero podcast about why he feels he’s been booking more roles recently. “Scooby-Doo one and two are more popular now than they ever were when they came out. So I do think there’s a weird nostalgia thing happening in our industry and in the zeitgeist because I think that people are longing for ye olde times,” Lillard explained. “I think that’s one of the…
It seems Donald Trump is OK with his 60 Minutes interview getting edited, just not anyone else’s. The president sat down with Norah O’Donnell for an interview that aired Sunday night on 60 Minutes, one day after shots were fired at the White House Correspondents’ dinner. During their conversation, he shared his perspective on what went down, but also got defensive when O’Donnell read from the gunman’s — 31-year-old Cole Tomas Allen — alleged manifesto about his motivations. The interview comes roughly a year and a half after Trump sued CBS in October 2024 over a 60 Minutes interview with then-Vice President…
