In 1998, singer-songwriter Cher once asked us all if we believed in life after love, and we were all supposed to nod our heads in unison, as if to say, “Yes.” What Cher didn’t consider, however, is the kind of love depicted in 2014’s Life After Beth, because that’s an entirely different thing. First of all, young love never lasts. Don’t believe me? Go ahead and call your high school sweetheart and let me know how thrilled she is to hear from you.

More importantly, I’m pretty sure the 90s electropop anthem about overcoming heartbreak wasn’t meant to apply to the kind of zombie romance you see in Life After Beth. A horror comedy loosely inspired by the story of Orpheus and Eurydice, the film follows a guy whose girlfriend dies tragically, only to come back from the dead and pick up right where she left off.

I like to think of it as a twisted, far more slapstick version of the 2004 French film They Came Back (Les Revenants). The same concept is being explored, just without nearly as much emotional weight. Both films deal with how loss and grief are a natural part of life, and how catastrophic it could be if we’re not allowed to process these emotions in real time. In They Came Back, there are concerns about housing, food, water, and basic necessities. In Life After Beth, we get Aubrey Plaza spazzing out like Linda Blair while sucking face.

At face value, there’s really not much going on in Life After Beth, and there doesn’t need to be. Zach Orfman (Dane DeHaan) loses his girlfriend Beth Slocum (Aubrey Plaza) after a snake bite kills her, and everybody shows up for the funeral. Devastated after losing his first love, Zach confides in her parents, Maury (John C. Reilly) and Geenie (Molly Shannon). There’s an unspoken bond here because both Zach and Maury want to hold onto the good memories, not the low points.

Zach’s parents, Judy (Cheryl Hines) and Noah (Paul Reiser), along with his brother Kyle (Matthew Gray Gubler), grow concerned about his mental state as he spends more and more time with the Slocums. When they suddenly cut off contact, Zach spirals into a deeper depression.

As it turns out, shortly after Beth was buried, she dug herself out of her grave and made her way home, completely unaware of her own death. Maury and Geenie eventually allow Zach back into the picture once the truth is out, but there are rules. He can’t take Beth out in public during the day, and he can’t tell her she’s dead. What could possibly go wrong?

What Goes Wrong 

Being that they’re horny teenagers and Beth doesn’t know she’s dead, Zach immediately breaks the rules, and that’s when everything starts to fall apart. Beth begins to decompose and act erratically after spending too much time in the sunlight, leading Zach to suspect that she’s a zombie. She’s also intensely jealous of Erica Wexler (Anna Kendrick), one of Zach’s closest childhood friends.

As time passes and Beth loses control of her faculties, it becomes clear she’s not the only one who’s come back. The entire community starts filling up with reanimated corpses, and they’re all hungry. Something that could have been avoided if the Slocums were less secretive.

While Aubrey Plaza deserves plenty of credit for fully committing to her zombie freakouts, everybody brings their A game to Life After Beth. John C. Reilly and Molly Shannon play this situation exactly how you’d expect real parents to handle it. They’re grateful to have their daughter back, but equally horrified. They’ve barely begun the grieving process, and now it’s been completely disrupted. There’s a gravesite, a funeral, and a reality they’re trying to ignore while pretending everything is fine.

Zach’s behavior pushes things even further. On some level, he’s totally fine with necrophilia if you really think about it, but I don’t think that’s how he sees it. He’s grieving in his own warped way. When Beth and Maury give their approval, there’s plenty of making out that becomes increasingly uncomfortable the more you bear witness to it.

The real magic happens when Zach and Beth are alone, because they’re exactly as dysfunctional as you’d expect. As Beth transitions further into her final zombie form, her mood swings become more violent, and Zach rolls with it until he can’t anymore. Every couple fights from time to time, and that’s the lens he uses to justify what’s happening.

Surprisingly Poignant Story About Grief

Absurd, slapstick comedy aside, Life After Beth is more than just a horror comedy because it shows how far people will go to avoid confronting their grief. Zach, Maury, and Geenie are all traumatized by Beth’s death, and even more so by her return. Instead of working through it, they lie to themselves until the lie spills over and starts affecting everything around them.

It’s a solid analogy for how destructive unprocessed grief can be. It doesn’t just sit quietly in the background. It spreads, it escalates, and eventually it forces itself into the open whether you’re ready for it or not.

Life After Beth is streaming on Netflix.

HBO Max has plenty of hot new movies and shows debuting in April 2026, but there’s only one series that’s dominating the conversation — Euphoria.

Zendaya always knew what type of wedding she wanted long before finding her perfect half, Tom Holland.

The sensational entertainer has been keeping fans guessing about the status of her relationship with her “Spider-Man” co-star. The pair is rumored to be married, but has yet to confirm or deny the speculations.

Now, a resurfaced clip has confirmed Zendaya never wanted a fanfare for her union, and the reason is quite touching.

Zendaya Once Declared Her Love For An ‘Intimate’ Union

The resurfaced video captured Zendaya on the red carpet at the Los Angeles premiere of the hit movie “Blended” in 2014. She looked stunning in an all-black ensemble, radiating her ever-consistent youthful glow as she flashed her toned midriff in a crop top.

While speaking to Entertainment Tonight, Zendaya was asked what kind of wedding she wanted when she eventually decided to walk down the aisle. The model wasted no time answering the question, revealing that she had always known what type of ceremony she wanted.

“I want, like, a small and intimate. More like just me and like my close family and friends. Relatives,” Zendaya declared, before explaining why she did not want a large wedding ceremony. “You know, I don’t want to go to my own wedding and be like, ‘Who are they?’” she said.

The Disney Alum Addressed Her Refusal To Confirm Or Deny The Marriage Rumors

Zendaya’s past comments matched her recent reaction to speculation about her marriage to Holland. The rumors intensified after her stylist, Law Roach, claimed the couple had secretly tied the knot during a red carpet appearance at the 2026 Actor Awards on March 1.

During an April 1 appearance on The New York Times’ “Modern Love” podcast, Zendaya explained why she and Holland have failed to confirm or deny the rumors. She noted that it felt like there was “this level of a parasocial investment” in her personal relationship, and she wasn’t a fan of it.

Zendaya acknowledged that she and Holland are public figures whose love life played out in the public eye, and she did not want to dismiss fans’ interest in them. Nonetheless, she and Holland needed their privacy and wanted certain aspects of their lives to themselves.

The Couple Isn’t Hiding But Preserving Their Privacy

Zendaya continued that she wasn’t oblivious to fans’ interest in her relationship status, saying, “I hear it, but also my own little boundaries of what I like to bring up and talk about, but then also what I’m willing to share.”

Zendaya stressed that she and Holland weren’t trying to “hide from the world. Instead, their actions stemmed from their decision to “preserve things for ourselves so that we can maintain that joy just within ourselves and our loved ones and our family.”

“In a lot of ways, I’m also a very private person, and I try my best to be able to have things for myself and for him as well,” Zendaya explained. Her words came days after she addressed the viral AI-generated images of her alleged wedding to Holland.

The ‘Dune’ Actress Said People Were Deceived By The AI Wedding

Last month, The Blast reported that Zendaya appeared on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” to address the marriage speculation. When the host brought up the AI-generated images of her secret wedding to Holland, she revealed the pictures had deceived people in her circle.

When asked whether people got upset that they weren’t invited to the wedding, Zendaya confirmed that “many people” were mad. She also poked fun at the claims of a secret wedding, using the moment to promote her new movie, “The Drama.”

Zendaya claimed she was sharing footage from her actual wedding ceremony, but it was a badly photoshopped image of Holland’s head on her co-star, Robert Pattinson’s body. She joked about the clip’s authenticity, claiming it was real rather than AI-generated.

Zendaya Fueled The Marriage Rumors In Paris

Although Zendaya and Holland have not publicly confirmed or denied the marriage speculations, it did not stop fans from drawing their own conclusions. The Blast shared in March that Zendaya’s actions had further ignited the wedding rumors.

The Golden Globe Award honoree gave fans plenty to talk about during the Paris premiere of her new movie. She stepped out in a bridal-themed ensemble, rocking a white dress and a curly side bob haircut.

Naturally, eyes were drawn to the three diamond rings on her fingers, particularly the one on her left ring finger. Zendaya’s new movie with Pattinson is set to hit theatres on April 3. The Blast reported that she declared she would take a break after undertaking multiple projects scheduled for 2026 releases.

She penned a  writing, “Don’t be sad guys, just come watch me on YouTube. I don’t know why everyone is so sad, y’all getting a better version of me! Now I have more time to build my farm and make my day-in-life videos, and I have so much more coming. The journey does not stop here. It only gets better, I PROMISE.”

Scotlyn “Scotty” Ryan is also enjoying her new era as she counts down the weeks until she welcomes her baby with Zeus CEO Lemuel Plummer. The couple recently cleared up misconceptions, revealing that they are not in an open relationship. They shared that they are very much in love and are even talking about having another baby in the future, teasing the idea of a “Lil Baby Lemmy.”

Baddies X Love Island? Here’s What’s In Store For The Season 8 Cast

As new chapters begin and relationships continue to grow, one thing is clear love is in the air, and it looks like we might be seeing another baddie step into a new journey real soon.

A source tells us that if you loved Season 6 and Season 7, this season is set to be even more intense, with a mix of drama and kick-your-feet moments as a new group of strangers searches for love. That means hotter bombshells, more romantic dates, crazier challenges, and even more unexpected twists.

Before we reveal the full cast, we’ll give y’all a few hints about the “baddie” who will be entering the villa. Hint: She’s talented and can spit a few bars, always serves in every confessional look, and never backs down from getting her get-back.

Netflix has grown quite a sci-fi division over the last 10 years, but no shows have exploded to the same level as Stranger Things. The series arrived 10 years ago, starting as nothing more than a simple supernatural kidnapping thriller, but by the time its final season arrived last year, the show had evolved into something much more complex. Like any show with a big audience, the ending of Stranger Things was quite controversial among fans, but most would agree it avoided the same disaster-level conclusion as Game of Thrones. Many fans were surprised to see such little death from the finale, though. Season 5 may have come and gone, but there are still plenty of stories from Hawkins left to tell.

The Duffer brothers, Matt and Ross, have already confirmed that another Stranger Things series is in the works, but it will focus on the mysterious rock that a young Henry Creel found inside the suitcase while he was exploring the cave. It’s unconnected to the original show. It’s still up in the air as to when this new offshoot will arrive, but fans don’t have to wait that long to return to Hawkins. Netflix has already announced a new animated spin-off, Stranger Things: Tales From ‘85, which will officially be released later this month, on April 23. The animated series is set between the events of Seasons 2 and 3, and Netflix has also released an official synopsis, which reads as follows:

“Return to Hawkins with Stranger Things: Tales From ’85, an exciting new animated series from showrunner Eric Robles and executive producers the Duffer Brothers. In the winter of 1985, snow blankets the town and the horrors of the Upside Down are finally fading. Our heroes Eleven, Mike, Will, Dustin, Lucas, and Max have settled back into a normal life of D&D, snowball fights, and quiet days. But beneath the ice, something terrifying has awakened. Could it be from the Upside Down? From the depths of Hawkins Lab? Or from somewhere else entirely? Our heroes must race to solve this mystery and save Hawkins in this new story set in the Stranger Things universe.”

Social media users stepped into TSR’s comment section with reactions to Ari Fletcher’s new look and big chop.

Before Ari Fletcher Showed Off New Look After Doing The Big Chop, She Spoke On Her “Internal Bra”

Before Ari Fletcher showed off her new look after doing the big chop, she stunned social media users by speaking on her “internal bra.” As The Shade Room previously reported, last month, Ari Fletcher was doing a livestream with Jordyn Lucas when she opened up about her procedures and the “surgery that hurt the most.” Ultimately, Fletcher explained that she had a “bra procedure,” which was “excruciating,” adding that a “metal bra” was “drilled” into her chest.

Roseanne Barr is opening up about some alarming news she recently received from her doctor.

“This doctor says I have to go get my heart checked out because it’s damaged,” the former sitcom star said on the Thursday, March 26, episode of her “Roseanne Barr Podcast.”

She continued, “So, now I’m so pissed because I’m like, ‘I need a new doctor.’ He’s always sending me to other doctors to check me out, and I’m like, ‘Why do I have to go find something wrong when nothing’s wrong?’ And then get in shape so I can have surgery and die on the surgery table. I mean, well, it doesn’t make any sense.”

Barr, 73, said that she doesn’t want to undergo surgery and would rather live out her final days in hospice care.

Roseanne Barr is no stranger to controversy. Long before ABC chose to cancel the reboot of Roseanne in 2018, the actress made headlines for a variety of reasons including a controversial National Anthem performance and a run for president. Years after Barr’s Roseanne character was killed off The Conners, Us Weekly learned exclusive details about […]

“I would rather not get ready for any sort of surgery ever again in my life and just get a heart attack or a stroke and just be put into a home,” she said. “That is the life. Living in the hospice. … That’s all I want. They know you’re dying and they give you morphine.”

In June 2025, Barr opened up about moving to Texas, where she experienced a tractor injury while mowing her property.

“I’m doing a lot of mowing. I’ve got a really fantastic tractor out here and I’m mowing. The only problem is I don’t clear the trees quite as good as I should and I’m always hitting a tree and knocking it over, and it always hits me in the head,” she told Fox News Digital.

“So, I’ve had several injuries recently. I had this one tree … I knocked it and a great big old branch fell right on my head and trapped me in my tractor,” she continued. “So, I knew I had to get out of there, and it weighed about a hundred pounds.”

Barr told Fox News Digital in June 2025 that she is no longer in touch with her former costars.

“No, I’m not friends with none of them,” she said. “They’re all in the past. I have pleasant memories of what fun we had — wish them all the best. And no, we don’t talk. I’ve moved on from that horrendous ending and chapter of my life, but you know, I don’t hold any bitterness or nothing to them, but my God, what fun we had on that show.

“And I was sorry they f***ed it all up with their greed and ridiculous stupidity to f*** all that up. F*** them, but I wish them well,” she said at the time.
