CBS’s Classic 2-Part Sitcom Is Officially Climbing Another Streamer’s Charts

Published

on

Valerie Mahaffey in Young Sheldon

Spin-offs of sitcoms are a risky proposition, at best, and most fail spectacularly. Take Joey and The Tortellis, for example: both failed to live up to their parent series — Friends and Cheers, respectively — and, even if we put their lineage aside, they failed to succeed as sitcoms in general. Cheers, however, tempted the fates with a second spin-off and succeeded, scoring a win with Frasier. The Big Bang Theory is set to test those same waters, but with a third spin-off, Stuart Fails to Save the Universe, set to debut on HBO Max on July 23. Only time will tell if it leans closer to The Tortellis than to Frasier, but given the success of the first two spin-offs, Young Sheldon and Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage, it’s difficult to write off the ambitious series. In fact, the latter has found success not only on its original streaming home, Paramount+, but also on another streamer: Amazon. And it’s not hard to understand why.

Despite centering the series around The Big Bang Theory‘s breakout character, Young Sheldon kept itself relatively separated from its parent series. The look was different, being shot with single-cam as opposed to multi-cam, and was populated with characters that were rarely seen or even referenced before. And characters seen or referenced more often, like Mary and Meemaw, seemed new, given the setting during Sheldon’s childhood. The biggest difference, though, was in the series’ tone.

Advertisement


A Galaxy Far, Far Away

Star Wars

You believe in the cause — in the idea that freedom is worth fighting for even when the odds are impossible and the empire is vast.

Advertisement
  • You are drawn to the moral clarity of a universe where hope itself is a form of resistance.
  • You’d find your people in the Rebellion — a ragtag coalition of true believers held together by conviction more than resources.
  • Star Wars is fundamentally a story about ordinary people choosing to matter in an extraordinary conflict — and that is exactly your kind of story.
  • The Force may or may not be with you. But the will to use it for something larger than yourself certainly is.


Middle-earth

Lord of the Rings

You understand, in the deepest part of yourself, that the journey matters as much as the destination — and that the world’s beauty is worth protecting even at great cost.

Advertisement
  • Middle-earth is a world of ancient wonder, deep friendship, and a darkness that only retreats when enough small acts of courage accumulate.
  • You would thrive here because you value the fellowship more than the glory — the road more than the arrival.
  • Tolkien’s universe rewards patience, loyalty, and the willingness to carry something heavy across a very long distance.
  • Those are not burdens to you. They are simply how you move through the world.


The Wizarding World

Harry Potter

You believe that love, loyalty, and doing what’s right are not naive sentiments — they are the most powerful forces in any world, magical or otherwise.

Advertisement
  • The Wizarding World is a place of wonder hidden in plain sight, where learning is transformative and the bonds you form at school follow you into every battle.
  • You would flourish here because you take both the magic and the friendships seriously — and you understand that one without the other is incomplete.
  • Harry Potter’s universe ultimately rewards those who choose to stand for something even when standing is terrifying.
  • That choice — made quietly, without guarantee — is something you understand completely.


Westeros · The Known World

Game of Thrones

You see the world clearly — its power structures, its hypocrisies, its brutal arithmetic — and you are not paralysed by that clarity. You use it.

Advertisement
  • Westeros is a world that rewards intelligence, adaptability, and the willingness to understand that every alliance is also a negotiation.
  • You would survive here — possibly thrive here — because you don’t confuse the world as it is with the world as you’d like it to be.
  • Game of Thrones is a story about what happens when the idealists and the realists collide. You are sharp enough to know which one lasts longer.
  • Winter always comes. You are already prepared.


The United Federation of Planets

Star Trek

You believe the future is worth building — that curiosity, cooperation, and the expansion of understanding are not just ideals but the most practical path forward for any civilisation.

Advertisement
  • Star Trek is a universe where the questions matter as much as the answers, and where encountering something utterly alien is cause for wonder rather than fear.
  • You would belong here because you are fundamentally optimistic about what intelligence and decency can achieve — while being honest about how hard that achievement is.
  • The Federation is the universe’s most ambitious thought experiment: what if we actually got better?
  • You don’t just hope that’s possible. You think it’s the only thing worth working toward.

Young Sheldon wasn’t a sitcom in the traditional sense like its predecessor, finding laughs in wacky situations rather than building its humor on relatability. The serialized story allowed viewers to get to know the characters more deeply, with the humor arising from how the differing personalities acted during situations. That depth, in turn, made the dramatic elements — and Young Sheldon had no problem addressing more mature themes — that much more impactful.

Arguably, the one character that benefited the most from that depth is Montana Jordan‘s Georgie, Sheldon’s (Iain Armitage) older brother. He came in as a typical Texas high school kid who cared more about girls and football than about academics, which he, unlike his prodigious brother, struggled with. Georgie was almost impossible not to like, a responsible young man filled with optimism and moxie, with smarts in practical ways. Over the course of the series, he grew exponentially, making difficult decisions and showing a knack for thinking outside the box.

Then, in Season 5’s “A Lock-In, a Weather Girl and a Disgusting Habit,” he meets Mandy (Emily Osment) and inadvertently gets her pregnant. But he steps up, and their relationship is allowed to foster over the duration of the series; not romanticized but grounded and real, and the onscreen chemistry between Osment and Jordan was tactile. In essence, the heavy lifting of building the relationship and moving it forward was already being done before Georgie & Mandy’s First Wedding even aired.

‘Georgie & Mandy’s First Wedding’ Is the Best of Both Worlds

Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage took the best of both worlds: the funny situations and multi-cam filming of The Big Bang Theory, with the depth and honesty of Young Sheldon, separating itself from both. It’s paid off in spades, with the series confirmed for a third season. The dynamic between Georgie and Mandy is still as engaging as it was in its parent series, and the ups and downs of the early days of their marriage are relatable. Jordan alone has great charisma that charms viewers into investing in him, hoping the best for the character.

There’s a strength in its secondary characters that draws viewers. Will Sasso‘s Jim McAllister is a good man, often caught in the crossfire between his wife and Mandy, with a quiet, profoundness beneath the prototypical, rational sitcom husband and father. Furthermore, he has stepped up as a father figure for Georgie in the absence of his own, earning a lot of goodwill from the series’ audience. Connor (Dougie Baldwin), Mandy’s brother, was introduced as a quirky, one-note character but has quickly evolved into an endearing fan-favorite. Audrey McAllister (Rachel Bay Jones) starts the series off on the wrong foot, but has become less caustic and more engaging as the series has progressed.


Georgie and Ruben stand together in Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage Season 2

‘Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage’ Overtakes ‘Young Sheldon’ and ‘The Big Bang Theory’ on an Unexpected Streamer

What do you call a spin-off of a spin-off?

The other newbie introduced in the series is Ruben (Jessie Prez), a worker at Jim’s tire shop who has been given an increased role as the current co-owner of the same tire shop with Georgie, thanks to the events of the Season 1 finale. Like Connor, Ruben began life as a one-note character, but the increased role has made him far more interesting and well-rounded, with him and Georgie finding a way to work with each other as partners. As far as the “legacy” characters are concerned, like Mary (Zoe Perry) and Meemaw (Annie Potts), they appear often enough to keep the connection with Young Sheldon, but not so often that they trump the journey of the series’ headliners.

So far, those things that appeared to speed up the inevitable divorce between the two leads haven’t presented themselves too clearly, proving that the showrunners are playing the long game. And as long as Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage remains popular — on CBS, Paramount+, or on Amazon — that game could play on for many more seasons to come.

Star Trek Fans Divided Over Legal Ruling That Could Save Or Destroy The Franchise

Published

on

Star Trek Fans Divided Over Legal Ruling That Could Save Or Destroy The Franchise

By Chris Snellgrove
| Published

These days, the Star Trek fandom is on the verge of a warp core breach. The sudden cancellation of Starfleet Academy means that there are no new shows on the horizon. Meanwhile, Paramount has pivoted and wants to focus exclusively on making Trek movies, the first of which will likely reboot the entire universe for the second time. That would potentially wipe out 60 years of continuity in favor of yet another creative gamble that may or may not actually gain the franchise any new fans, but will almost certainly drive many older fans away.

Now, with the Justice Department approving Paramount’s purchase of Warner Bros., the Star Trek fandom is divided. Some believe that this is exactly what the franchise needs; that taking a break from nonstop content so that new creators can try new approaches could lead to a new golden age of Star Trek. Others are distrustful of Paramount’s leadership and believe it would be better for the franchise to die altogether than slowly become right-wing sci-fi. However, both the extreme optimism and the extreme pessimism miss the mark, and the truth about Star Trek’s future is somewhere in the middle. 

When Fans Get Sick Of Star Trek

This may come as a great shock to you, but I, uh, spend a lot of time online. Lately, I’ve spent a fair amount of time in the r/startrek subreddit and various fandom Facebook groups as everyone discusses a singular topic: the future of Star Trek. The future of the franchise already seemed dire when Starfleet Academy was canceled. Regardless of that show’s quality (or lack thereof), its cancellation meant that (thanks to Strange New Worlds having already wrapped) we had no new Trek shows in production for the first time in over a decade. That obviously put something of a damper on celebrating the franchise’s 60th anniversary!

This, combined with changes at Paramount, has soured some fans on Star Trek even having a future. After the previous merger with Skydance, David Ellison (son of billionaire Oracle founder Larry Ellison) now runs Paramount. The new boss is a very prominent conservative who is cozy with Donald Trump, and under Ellison’s leadership, conservative mouthpiece Bari Weiss has been hired to run CBS News into the ground. Because of these factors, many blackpilled Star Trek fans have become convinced of two things: 1) Ellison will leverage his influence to make Trek more conservative and less progressive, and 2) they’d rather see Trek die than become a franchise people like Trump would enjoy.

Trek, When The Walls Fell

star trek picard

Obviously, there are some optimists in the fandom that see all this disruption as an opportunity for their favorite franchise. Starfleet Academy wasn’t canceled because people hated its super-woke characters; it was canceled because not very many people were watching it. That’s a product of bad writing and bad leadership, but Alex Kurtzman was just certain that Star Trek fans would love a show about hormonal teen drama. He was wrong about this and many other things (more on that in a minute), so the optimists think that any change in leadership will lead to new writers, new ideas, and a bold new vision for this 60-year-old franchise.

Ironically enough, both the optimists and the pessimists are half-right and half-wrong. Pessimists need to realize that, regarding the politics of the man in charge, Star Trek has still managed to thrive under some people who wouldn’t pass a political purity test. Franchise creator Gene Roddenberry was a progressive visionary, but he was also a womanizer who feared putting gay characters in Trek and greenlit stuff like “Code of Honor,” the most racist Trek episode ever created. Later, the entire Golden Age of Star Trek was overseen by Rick Berman, a progressive who nonetheless killed gay storylines and was allegedly misogynistic to female cast members like Terry Farrell and Jeri Ryan.

Neither Side Is Fully Right 

ai rat

Where am I going with this? Basically, Star Trek became a cultural institution under progressive leaders who, nonetheless, had some very regressive attitudes towards certain things. With that in mind, it’s entirely possible that future directors and showrunners will be more progressive, even if they work for conservative leadership. It helps that Ellison is apparently a big fan of Star Trek, previously calling it one of Paramount’s most “beloved franchises.” As I have written about before, conservatives love the same Trek that progressives do, just for different reasons. So we are far likelier to get an Original Series-style reboot than, say, MAGA: The Final Frontier.

So, the pessimists are wrong, but does that mean the optimists are right? Not necessarily. It’s true that Alex Kurtzman has driven NuTrek into the ground (literally all but one show was canceled early!), and almost any change in leadership is admittedly going to be a good thing. But focusing almost entirely on Star Trek movies is probably a bad idea, especially because there are nearly one thousand episodes and only 14 films, over half of which are pretty mid. The movie focus, combined with the rumored franchise reboot, may be the nail in the coffin for old-school fans.   

It Could Always Be Worse

star trek wars

In short, the Star Trek fandom is divided, but one thing unites us all: our love for the greatest sci-fi franchise ever made. We all want the best possible future for Trek, and there’s no reason to think the cash-strapped Paramount won’t do its best to generate money with its biggest franchise. That means nobody is actively sabotaging Trek with a political agenda, but they may yet release enough crappy movies and shows to finish a dying franchise off. All fans can do, then, is hope. After all, Rebellions are built on hope.

Wait, that’s the wrong franchise! But that’s a reminder to every Star Trek fan worried about their franchise: just go look at The Mandalorian and Grogu choking at the box office and realize things could always be worse.

Teresa Giudice’s Daughter Shares Cryptic Message After Arrest

Published

Teresa Giudice’s daughter, Milania Giudice, appears to be speaking out in her own way after news of her reported assault arrest made headlines this week. The daughter of “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” star Teresa Giudice and ex-husband Joe Giudice shared a pair of cryptic Instagram posts, days after reports surfaced alleging she had been arrested in New Jersey following an incident in May.

Amid growing attention surrounding the case, 20-year-old Milania Giudice took to Instagram Stories to post a photo of a roadside sign that read, “None of us sit high enough to look down on anybody. Be humble.”

She later followed it up with a meme that appeared to reference her close relationship with her mother, writing, “Me and my mama so close sometimes I be forgetting I’m talking to my mama.”

The social media activity marks Milania’s first apparent public response since news of the alleged incident surfaced. However, the 20-year-old has not directly addressed the arrest or publicly commented on the allegations.

According to reports, Milania was accused of “causing bodily injury” and “simple assault” following an alleged incident that reportedly occurred in New Jersey on May 14 at approximately 6:12 p.m. Montville Township Police reportedly made the arrest, with the matter filed under “domestic violence/confidential.”

The 20-year-old was scheduled to appear in court on May 19, though the outcome of the case remains unclear at this time. The reported incident came shortly after the end of Milania’s sophomore year at the University of Tampa.

Teresa And Joe Giudice’s Family Has Long Been In The Public Eye

Milania is one of four daughters Teresa shares with ex-husband Joe Giudice. The former couple is also parents to Gia, Gabriella, and Audriana.

Teresa and Joe famously documented much of their family life on “The Real Housewives of New Jersey,” including the legal troubles that ultimately reshaped their family dynamic. In 2009, the pair filed for bankruptcy, setting off a series of legal issues that eventually resulted in both being convicted on fraud-related charges.

Years later, both Teresa and Joe served prison sentences, while Joe’s immigration status came under scrutiny after it was revealed he had never obtained U.S. citizenship despite living in the country since childhood.

Following his release from prison, Joe relocated to Italy while awaiting the outcome of his deportation proceedings. The couple separated in December 2019 and finalized their divorce months later. Joe now lives in the Bahamas, where he is frequently visited by his daughters.

Teresa also served nearly a year behind bars, beginning in January 2015 and being released in December of the same year. Following her release, Teresa spoke candidly about how difficult the situation had been on her daughters and revealed she tried to make life feel as normal as possible for them during such a turbulent time.

“It breaks my heart. It’s hard. I try to compensate. Whatever they say. I jump over hoops for them, for whatever they’re going through. Whatever they say to me, I try to do for them, just for the situation. They’re amazing kids,” Teresa said during BravoCon in 2019, per PEOPLE.

Teresa Giudice Previously Said Joe Was ‘Never The One’

In recent years, Teresa has spoken candidly about her relationship with Joe, revealing during an appearance on the “Undressed with Pol and Patrik” podcast that he was “never the one.” “We made beautiful babies together, but that’s about it,” Teresa said at the time.

The reality star, who is now married to Luis Ruelas, praised her husband for being “attentive,” something she suggested had been missing in her previous marriage.

Joe later told TMZ that he agreed with Teresa’s comments, making it clear there was no lingering tension between the former couple. “It’s water under the bridge at this point. We still get along. We still coparent. We do what we gotta do, and that’s the most important thing,” he said, adding that he was happy Teresa Giudice had found love again with Ruelas.

Rosie O’Donnell is sharing the details of her latest visit with her incarcerated daughter, Chelsea O’Donnell, by turning to poetry.

“I arrive early. It’s very hot. I’m wearing shorts. Waiting for her,” O’Donnell, 64, wrote via Instagram on Saturday, June 13, sharing what appears to be a recent photo of the former TV host visiting her daughter in jail.

“In what looks like a children’s nursery room, Disney murals on cement walls. Vending machines. Table 8 — I’m told to sit,” she continued in the caption. “In one of the red chairs. Beige is for the inmate. The guard explained the rules.”

Rosie added, “A hug hello and goodbye only. No money exchanged. Hands above the table. No loud voices. The visit is 4 hours long There r worn out games to play. Scrabble — cards — chutes & ladders. Other families walk in.”

Rosie O’Donnell’s daughter Chelsea O’Donnell checked into prison after violating her probation in a drug case, Us Weekly can exclusively report. Us obtained the mugshot that Chelsea, 28, took on November 18 after entering the Taycheedah Correctional Institution (TCI). In the photo, Chelsea appears stoic with her blue eyes staring directly into the camera. TCI […]

In October 2025, Chelsea was sentenced to serve prison time after allegedly violating the terms of her six-year probation stemming from three back-to-back drug-related arrests. She was first arrested in September 025, on charges of drug possession and child neglect. She was arrested again on October 11, for drugs, and a third time on November 18, also for drugs.

“I have compassion for those struggling with addiction,” Rosie exclusively told Us Weekly at the time, reacting to her daughter’s incarceration. “Chelsea was born into addiction and it has been a painful journey for her and her children. We continue to love and support her through these horrible times. Prayers welcomed.”

As part of her plea deal, Chelsea pleaded guilty to some charges while others were dropped. She was sentenced to 18 months in prison but the sentence was “stayed,” meaning she would only have to serve probation as long as she did not get into any legal trouble for six years. Her probation was revoked after she allegedly failed to adequately attend and complete a drug rehab program and was accused of sexual assault.

She is currently serving her time at the Taycheedah Correctional Institution, a women’s maximum-security prison located in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin.

On Saturday, Rosie told her many fans and followers that her daughter was “the first thru the door” when she visited her.

“My heart skips a beat. She looks good,” she continued in her poem. “Healthy calm. Rested blue eyes. Clear skin. In her green uniform. We embrace. She smells familiar. Holds on tight. I stare into his eyes. Shy smiles all around. We have been thru so much. We sit — other young women enter. A 4 yr old yells ‘mama.’”

She added, “Running into the open arms of a woman in green who she looks exactly like. This tiny child has been here before. I watch the toddler navigate the candy machine. Reaching into her bag of quarters, grabbing her goodies.”

According to Rosie, all four of Chelsea’s children — three girls and a boy — “have not visited,” which the grandmother says she knows “pains” her daughter.

“I try to stay present as the sky outside blackens, looking ominous,” her poem continued. “I realize I’m sweating. I go splash gold water on my face as tears drop from my eyes. I try to shake the sadness. It’s hard enough for her. She turns 29 this summer, and all I see when I look at her is a blonde baby in diapers.”

Elizabeth Olsen is stepping into an exciting new chapter. The Marvel actress is expecting her first child with husband Robbie Arnett, marking a major milestone for the famously private couple.

The 37-year-old actress was spotted during a lunch date at All Time restaurant in Los Angeles, where she appeared to gently cradle her stomach while leaving the venue. Though Elizabeth Olsen has yet to publicly comment on the pregnancy, the outing seemingly offered fans a first glimpse at her growing bump.

The pregnancy news was confirmed by PEOPLE on Friday. The actress, best known for portraying Wanda Maximoff, aka Scarlet Witch, in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, has largely kept her personal life out of the public eye, including her relationship with musician Robbie Arnett.

Olsen and Arnett reportedly met through mutual friends while vacationing in Mexico in 2017 and made their first public appearance together later that same year.

The couple moved in together in 2018, with engagement rumors beginning to swirl in 2019.

Fans began speculating that the pair had secretly tied the knot in 2021 after Olsen casually referred to the Milo Greene musician as her “husband” during an interview.

She later confirmed the marriage in 2022, revealing the two quietly wed before the COVID-19 pandemic. “We eloped and then we had a wedding at another time,” Olsen shared on “The Jess Cagle Show.” “It was before COVID.”

Olsen Previously Reflected On Balancing Motherhood And Career

Long before pregnancy reports surfaced, Olsen openly discussed her hopes for motherhood and the realities of balancing family life with a demanding acting career.

During a 2021 SiriusXM interview, the actress candidly admitted she often thought about the timing of starting a family while navigating Hollywood. “At what point do I get pregnant? At what point do I have my first baby?” she asked at the time. “Is that five years from now? Because then I only have this kind of a window.”

Before finding love with Arnett, Olsen was engaged to her “Very Good Girls” co-star Boyd Holbrook. The former couple ended their relationship in 2014 after dating for three years.

Part of what has made Olsen and Arnett’s relationship so intriguing to fans is just how private the pair have remained over the years. Despite being married to one of Hollywood’s biggest stars, Arnett maintains a relatively low public profile and rarely shares updates on social media, even though he has an active Instagram account.

Olsen, meanwhile, stepped away from social media entirely in 2020 and has made it clear she has no plans to return. Speaking to Glamour UK in April 2021, the actress admitted the pressure of curating an online presence never sat right with her.

“[I thought] Wait, why am I even trying to create a character version of myself and put it out in the world?” Olsen shared, explaining that the experience made her feel “uncomfortable.” “And so during the pandemic I was like, ‘Oh this is just not for me.’ And I just got rid of it.”

The baby news comes months after Olsen opened up about growing up alongside her famous older sisters, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. The twins famously rose to fame as Michelle Tanner on “Full House” before building an entertainment empire and later transitioning into fashion moguls.

While speaking with The Times earlier this year, Olsen described her upbringing as a “chaotic childhood” but emphasized the supportive dynamic within her family. “They were forced to watch all my plays my whole life and go to my dance performances,” she said.

When asked whether her sisters ever offered advice about navigating fame, Olsen admitted, “No. We’re just a supportive family. It feels irrelevant to talk about it after 15 years of working.” “I was the youngest of four. We were all born within five years,” she added.

11 Years Later, Taylor Sheridan’s Brutal Crime Thriller Is Officially Taking Over the World

Published

on

01346993_poster_w780-1.jpg

As Taylor Sheridan continues to oversee the largest and most impressive empire on television, he has already released some of the most popular projects of the year over on Paramount Plus. Sheridan has further expanded the Yellowstone universe with a pair of offshoots, Marshals and Dutton Ranch, but the latter has been met with a much more welcoming reception than the former. Still, both shows return long-time Yellowstone stars like Luke Grimes as Kayce Dutton and Cole Hauser as Rip Wheeler, and both have been picked up for new seasons. Sheridan fans were also treated to some good news last week when it was announced that his black ops spy thriller, Lioness, will officially return to streaming this August. The same can’t be said for Landman, which likely won’t air until sometime in 2027.

While Sheridan has become known by most fans these days for his work with the Yellowstone universe and other shows like Tulsa King and Mayor of Kingstown, he began his career with some of the greatest neo-Western thrillers to ever hit the big screen. His debut screenplay came all the way back in 2015 with Sicario, which is still hailed as some of his finest work even to this day. The film stars Josh Brolin and Emily Blunt, and it made quick work of a $30 million budget, grossing nearly $85 million at the global box office. 11 years after Sicario first hit theaters, the film is now available to stream on Hulu for all subscribers, where it has had several stints in the top 10. It’s also a VOD smash on platforms such as Prime Video and Apple TV, where it can be rented for as low as $2.99.

Four worlds. All of them brutal, complicated, and built on power, loyalty, and the price of survival. Taylor Sheridan doesn’t write heroes — he writes people who do what they have to do and live with the cost. Ten questions will reveal which one of his worlds you were made for.

04

Where do you feel most in your element?
Sheridan’s worlds are as much about place as they are about people.




05

How do you feel about operating in the grey?
Nobody in a Sheridan show has clean hands. The question is how they carry the dirt.




06

What are you actually fighting to hold onto?
Every Sheridan character is fighting a war. The real question is what they’re defending.

You Belong In…

The show that claimed the most of your answers is the world you were built for. If two tied, both are shown — you’re complicated enough to straddle two Sheridan universes.

Yellowstone

Landman

Tulsa King

⚖️
Mayor of Kingstown

You are a Dutton — or you might as well be. You understand that some things are worth protecting at any cost, and that the modern world’s indifference to history, to land, to legacy, is not something you’re willing to accept quietly. You lead from the front, you carry your family’s weight without complaint, and when someone threatens what’s yours, you don’t escalate — you finish it. You’re not cruel. But you are absolute. In Yellowstone’s world, that combination of ferocity and loyalty doesn’t make you a villain. It makes you the only thing standing between everything that matters and everyone who wants to take it.

You thrive in the chaos of high-stakes negotiation, where the money is enormous, the margins are thin, and the wrong word in the wrong room can cost everyone everything. You’re a fixer — the person called when a situation is already on fire and needs someone with the nerve to walk into it. West Texas oil country rewards exactly what you are: sharp, adaptable, unsentimental, and absolutely clear-eyed about what people want and what they’ll do to get it. You’re not naive enough to think this world is fair. You’re smart enough to be the one deciding who it’s fair to.

You are a Dwight Manfredi — someone who has served their time, paid their dues, and arrived somewhere unexpected with nothing but their reputation and their wits. You adapt without losing yourself. You build loyalty through respect rather than fear, though you’re not above reminding people that the two aren’t mutually exclusive. Tulsa King is for people who are still standing when everyone assumed they’d be finished — who find, in an unfamiliar place, that they’re more capable than the world gave them credit for. You don’t need a throne. You build one, wherever you happen to land.

You carry the weight of a system that is broken by design, and you do it anyway — because someone has to, and because you’re the only one positioned to do it without the whole thing collapsing. Mike McLusky’s world is for people who are comfortable operating where there are no good options, only less catastrophic ones. You speak every language: law enforcement, criminal, political, human. That fluency makes you invaluable and it makes you a target. You’ve made your peace with both. Mayor of Kingstown belongs to people who understand that keeping the peace is not the same as being at peace — and who do the job regardless.

What Is ‘Sicario’ About?

The official synopsis for Sicario, which holds scores of 91% from critics and 85% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes, reads as follows:

“When idealistic FBI agent Kate Macer uncovers a cartel massacre in Arizona, she’s recruited into a shadowy government task force. Thrust into the lawless borderlands between the U.S. and Mexico, she must navigate a world of moral compromise — where the line between justice and vengeance no longer exists.”

When it comes time to analyze Sicario’s success, it’s hard not to credit Denis Villeneuve, who was the perfect choice to direct Sheridan’s neo-Western script. Villeneuve has also gone on to direct near-perfect sci-fi epics like Arrival and Dune: Part Two, and he’s been tasked with directing the next James Bond movie.

Check out Sicario on Hulu in America, and stay tuned to Collider for more streaming updates and coverage of Taylor Sheridan’s future projects.

Anya Taylor-Joy’s Sci-Fi Sequel Just Became 2026’s First Billion-Dollar Movie

Published

on

the-super-mario-galaxy-movie-poster.jpg

The current box office landscape might be obsessed with horror — quite literally, in the case of Curry Barker‘s record-breaking new hit — but that doesn’t mean there isn’t room for other genres to reach success. The cozy Sheep Detectives continues to prove a popular hit for families, Masters of the Universe is a wonderfully nostalgic option for those seeking a summer blockbuster, and Antoine Fuqua’s musical biopic, Michael, edges closer to the $900 million mark.

However, the success of some genres seems not to be rubbing off on sci-fi, with the latest entry in the grandest sci-fi franchise of them all, Pedro Pascal‘s The Mandalorian and Grogu, in box office freefall, having dropped to sixth place in the domestic charts on just its third weekend, earning less than 1/8 of its opening haul. Thankfully, as one sci-fi effort fails to impress, another has just reached its biggest milestone yet.

At the time of writing, the video game adaptation sequel The Super Mario Galaxy Movie has officially crossed the billion-dollar mark at the box office. Ten weekends into its theatrical run and about to bow out for good, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie has finally become the first billion-dollar movie of 2026. This couldn’t come at a better time for the movie, with a selection of blockbuster names on their way this summer, including Christopher Nolan‘s ambitious epic The Odyssey, Tom Holland‘s Spider-Man: Brand New Day, the fifth installment in the beloved Toy Story franchise, the high-flying Supergirl, and much more.

Your Hero Has Been Identified
Your Sci-Fi Hero Is…

Your answers point to the iconic sci-fi hero who shares your instincts, your values, and your particular way of facing the impossible.

Advertisement


Arrakis · Dune

Paul Atreides

You carry a weight most people would crumble under — the knowledge of what you’re capable of, and the burden of what you might have to become.

Advertisement
  • You see further ahead than others and you plan accordingly, even when the vision frightens you.
  • You are driven by loyalty to your people and a sense of destiny you didn’t ask for but can’t escape.
  • Paul Atreides is not simply a hero — he is someone who understands the cost of power and chooses to bear it anyway.
  • That gravity, that willingness to carry what others won’t, is exactly you.


USS Enterprise · Star Trek

Captain Kirk

You lead with instinct, warmth, and an absolute refusal to accept a no-win scenario — because you’ve always believed there’s a third option nobody else has thought of yet.

Advertisement
  • You take the mission seriously without ever taking yourself too seriously.
  • Your crew would follow you anywhere, not because you demand it, but because you’ve earned it.
  • Kirk’s genius isn’t tactical — it’s human. He reads people, bends rules with purpose, and wills outcomes into existence through sheer conviction.
  • That combination of warmth, audacity, and relentless optimism is unmistakably yours.


The Rebellion · Star Wars

Princess Leia

You are the kind of person who holds the line when everyone else is losing faith — not because you’re fearless, but because giving up simply isn’t something you’re capable of.

Advertisement
  • You lead through conviction. Your voice carries because your belief is unshakeable.
  • You gave up everything ordinary the moment you chose the cause, and you’ve never looked back.
  • Leia is not a supporting character in her own story — she is the moral centre of the entire rebellion.
  • That same fierce, principled, unbreakable core is what defines you.


The Nostromo · Alien

Ellen Ripley

You are not reckless, not grandiose, and not particularly interested in being anyone’s hero — you just refuse to stop when it matters.

Advertisement
  • You see threats clearly, you document the truth even when no one listens, and when the time comes you handle it yourself.
  • Ripley’s heroism is earned, not performed. She doesn’t have a speech — she has a flamethrower and a plan.
  • You share her composure under the worst possible pressure, and her refusal to pretend the monster isn’t there.
  • When it counts, you don’t flinch. That’s everything.


The Wasteland · Mad Max

Max Rockatansky

You have been through fire that would break most people — and what came out the other side is something the world underestimates at its peril.

Advertisement
  • You don’t ask for help, don’t need validation, and don’t wait for anyone to tell you the rules no longer apply.
  • Your loyalty, when it finally arrives, is absolute — but it’s earned in silence and tested in action, not in words.
  • Max is not a nihilist. He is someone who lost everything and found, against his will, that he still has something worth protecting.
  • That bruised, stubborn, ultimately human core is exactly yours.

‘The Super Mario Galaxy Movie’ Is Now a Hit at Home

Tyra Banks Files Lawsuit Against Netflix After ‘ANTM’ Documentary

Published

Tyra Banks Reportedly Files Lawsuit Against Netflix Following Release Of America's Next Top Model Documentary

Tyra Banks just took serving to a whole NEW level. The model and producer has reportedly filed a lawsuit against Netflix following her participation in their ‘Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model’ docuseries.

Tyra Banks Comes For Netflix After ‘ANTM’ Docuseries Release

According to TMZ, Tyra Banks is suing Netflix for defamation. She filed the documents on Saturday, June 13, and alleges that Netflix used only 16 minutes of her over three-hour interview and manipulated the footage to push a false, defamatory narrative. PEOPLE reports that she is now seeking a jury trial to determine the amount of damages she should receive.

“Tyra Banks participated in the Netflix documentary series America’s Next Top Model (‘ANTM’) because she believed viewers deserved a candid conversation about the show’s legacy—its successes and its shortcomings,” the lawsuit reportedly states. “There are aspects of the show for which Ms. Banks takes accountability and she wanted ANTM viewers to hear that from her directly.”

In the suit, Banks also reportedly calls out two partially true statements from Mar Loushy, one of the directors and executive producers of the series. She says Loushy claimed she would have the “opportunity to go really deep into the debates” about ‘ANTM’ and “to share her side of the story.” In another interview, Loushy added, “Ms. Banks was ready to speak, and I think that a lot of her answers were very honest. And it’s all in the show, really.” However, ‘Reality Check’ director Kay Wicker told TheGrio that the documentary was going to happen whether Tyra participated or not.

The Roomies Weigh In On Tyra’s Legal Move Against Netflix

Once The Shade Room spilled the tea about Tyra’s lawsuit, the Roommates didn’t hesitate to weigh in over in the comment section. Plenty of folks said they can’t believe she’s actually suing the network after she made an appearance in it. Peep some of the reactions below.

Finally, Instagram user @unpopular.dee wrote, Girl if anything you should be the one that’s being sued 😂😂” 

More About The ‘America’s Next Top Model’ Documentary

The ‘America’s Next Top Model’ documentary took over Netflix when it dropped in February, giving viewers the opportunity to revisit the early days of the show. The series also unpacked topics like cycle 2 contestant Shandi Sullivan’s sexual assault. Sullivan recalled the moment when the models were in Italy and male models came over their house. She consumed alcohol before getting in bed with one of the men, despite having a boyfriend back at home at the time. Sullivan said she blacked out during the incident and later accused the production team of framing it as a cheating scandal instead of assault. When asked about the situation in ‘Reality Check,’ Tyra said she had no involvement in production or the editing of storylines.

Emily Ratajkowski Makes Shocking Sex Confession Amid Split

Published

on

Emily Ratajkowski at 13th Annual LACMA Art + Film Gala 2024

Emily Ratajkowski is opening up like never before about the emotional fallout of her divorce, her fears surrounding single motherhood, and the dating phase that followed, which she now describes as an intentional reinvention of herself.

In a candid new essay, the model and actress reflected on the collapse of her marriage to ex-husband Sebastian Bear-McClard and the whirlwind romantic chapter that followed, during which she was linked to everyone from Harry Styles and Pete Davidson to DJ Orazio Rispo and Eric Andre.

Emily Ratajkowski also made a shocking confession about her sex life following the split, admitting she set out to transform herself after years of trying to fit into what she believed men wanted.

Ratajkowski and Bear-McClard tied the knot during a courthouse wedding in 2018 and welcomed son Sylvester Apollo Bear in March 2021. But according to the 35-year-old, cracks in the relationship began appearing shortly after becoming parents.

In the essay for The Cut, she wrote that “in a time period that felt both instant and excruciatingly slow, my marriage collapsed. Six months after my son was born, my husband and I stopped having sex. Less than a year later, we separated.”

The pair officially split in 2022 amid rumors surrounding Bear-McClard’s alleged infidelity. Ratajkowski appeared to fuel speculation herself after reportedly liking a tweet that read, “can’t believe that little b-tch cheated on emrata.”

Bear-McClard, a film producer known for collaborating with the Safdie brothers and producing projects including “Uncut Gems,” later found himself facing controversy of his own. In March 2023, reports surfaced that he had faced “grooming” allegations and was fired from the Safdie brothers’ production company, Elara Pictures.

At the same time, he was reportedly navigating mediation with the Safdies, in addition to divorce proceedings and a custody battle with Ratajkowski.

Ratajkowski Says She Hated Being Pitied After Her Divorce

While navigating the public unraveling of her marriage, Ratajkowski admitted one of the hardest parts was how people viewed her after the breakup.

“I hated the condescending way people looked at me in the wake of my breakup. Their furrowed brows, the pity in their faces as they delivered an ‘I’m so sorry, Emily,’” she confessed. “I couldn’t stand my pathetic reflection in their eyes. They saw me as someone who was unwanted, who had been left. A reject with the burden of a needy, hungry, two-foot-tall sidekick.”

The actress revealed she had long feared becoming a “single mom,” writing that the idea had terrified her since childhood because she associated it with having “no freedom, no choices, no emergency exit.” But when she unexpectedly found herself living the reality she once feared, Ratajkowski said she reinvented herself into someone entirely different.

Emily Ratajkowski Admits She Wanted To Replace The ‘Madonna’ With A ‘Wh-re’

Following her split, Ratajkowski entered what she described as a period of “compulsively dating,” adopting what she framed as a villain-like persona in an effort to regain control.

“The character I’d learned to embody after my divorce, in my period of compulsively dating, was a villain: Poison Ivy. Catwoman. Sexual but scary. And she drank gin martinis. Many, many gin martinis,” she wrote. “She was not tragic. Nothing close to a victim. No one needed to feel sorry for her. In fact, they should all be jealous.”

The “I Feel Pretty” actress admitted her post-divorce phase marked a dramatic departure from how she previously approached relationships. Before her marriage ended, she said she had only slept with “eight people,” all of whom she was “pretty sure would fall in love with me, because I wanted to feel precious.”

Advertisement

She reflected on long-held beliefs surrounding relationships and intimacy, explaining she once believed men “didn’t fall in love with, want forever with, raise babies with, or take care of sl-ts.”

Eventually, however, she said she decided to embrace an entirely different version of herself. “I decided to f-ck my way into a new kind of woman. I wanted to destroy the Madonna, the special girl I’d worked so hard to be before an eight-pound baby had torn my v-gina in two, and replace her with the wh-re,” Ratajkowski wrote.

Ratajkowski Shares Explicit Details About Her Dating Life

The model also offered readers an unfiltered look into her dating experiences following the divorce, including one particularly explicit encounter with a man she described as having a “nasally stoner voice” and wearing “bright hoodies” with “obnoxious gold jewelry” that made him resemble a “walking, talking Myspace page.”

After returning to his apartment, Ratajkowski admitted she “found myself on my knees in front of him” and felt “especially satisfied by his expression when he looked down at me.” “He couldn’t believe I was putting his d-ck in my mouth. He told me I looked like Cleopatra when I gave head. I’d found everything I’d come there for, a praying mantis devouring her mate,” she wrote.

Her first post-divorce date, however, apparently went far less smoothly. According to Ratajkowski, she went out with a sober DJ who lived near what had once been her marital home. She claimed the man bizarrely opened the date by explaining incest “actually runs in my family,” before sharing a story involving his mother and sister walking in on him masturbating to p-rn he described as “some sibling sh-t.”

“That was my introduction to the dating scene. I didn’t f-ck him, okay?” she wrote, later acknowledging he was “an anomaly.”

She also described one fling with an “Elder Millennial” her friends called “ugly,” explaining she tolerated his “dirty talk” because she enjoyed the confidence boost of being wanted more than she wanted him.

Ratajkowski further revealed that she came to believe “many men are turned on by motherhood” because they had “experienced the loneliness that comes with years of selfishness” and were “attracted” to “self-sacrifice.”

“Did they want me as their mommy? Maybe,” she added.

Now, through her essay, Ratajkowski appears to finally be reclaiming the narrative around one of the most scrutinized chapters of her personal life.
