Matt LeBlanc made a rare return to social media this week to honor legendary television director James Burrows following his death at age 85. The beloved director, whose career spanned some of television’s most iconic sitcoms, helped shape “Friends,” “Cheers,” “Will & Grace,” “Frasier,” “The Big Bang Theory,” and countless other hit series. For Matt LeBlanc, James Burrows’ death marked only the second time in years that the actor has shared a personal post on Instagram.

LeBlanc took to Instagram on Friday to remember the television icon, who directed the pilot episode of Friends and several additional episodes throughout the show’s run.

“Jimmy,” LeBlanc began. “Words cannot describe the impact and influence you had on us and everyone who was lucky enough to have known you.”

The actor continued: “You, sir, are a true icon on so many levels. Well wishes in your next act. You will be missed. God Bless.”

The tribute was particularly notable given how rarely LeBlanc posts on social media. Outside of a promotional post tied to a Dunkin’ campaign, the actor’s last personal Instagram tribute came in 2023 following the death of his “Friends” co-star Matthew Perry.

Lisa Kudrow And Danny DeVito Also Honor The Late Director

LeBlanc wasn’t the only star paying tribute. His former “Friends” co-star Lisa Kudrow shared a photo from the set of “The Comeback,” where Burrows made one of his final onscreen appearances playing a fictionalized version of himself.

Meanwhile, Danny DeVito released a heartfelt statement remembering the director’s impact on both his career and his family. “Rhea and I are deeply saddened by the passing of Jimmy Burrows. The entire DeVito family feels the loss of such an exceptional man,” DeVito told Entertainment Weekly.

“Jimmy guided Rhea and me through 16 seasons of television. He was the very best at his craft. His positive spirit, boundless energy, and tireless work defined what it takes to run a show and keep people laughing. He will always be in our hearts.”

James Burrows Helped Shape ‘Friends’ Into A Television Phenomenon

While Burrows built an impressive résumé across countless sitcoms, “Friends” remains one of the most beloved projects of his career. In his 2022 memoir, “Directed by James Burrows,” the legendary director recalled his initial reaction after reading the pilot script. “I had a good sense about ‘Friends’ and knew two things immediately: one, I didn’t have time to direct it, and two, I had to direct it,” Burrows wrote. “It became the last pilot shot that year.”

The veteran director said he was instantly drawn to the show’s central cast and the chemistry between the six main characters. “I fell in love with these six kids on the page immediately,” he added. “Ninety-five percent of the original pilot script made it to air.”

Burrows became known for his ability to transform ensemble casts into believable groups of friends, helping actors develop the chemistry that audiences would later fall in love with. According to television lore, he even took the cast of “Friends” to Las Vegas before the show premiered, giving each of the six stars $200 to gamble with while encouraging them to enjoy their final moments of anonymity before fame changed their lives forever.

The gamble paid off. “Friends” went on to become one of the most successful sitcoms in television history, helping launch the careers of Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry, and David Schwimmer.

Burrows’ Family Confirms TV Legend’s Death At 85

Burrows’ family confirmed that the acclaimed television director passed away peacefully on June 19 at the age of 85. “We celebrate the extraordinary life and enduring legacy of James ‘Jimmy’ Burrows, who passed away peacefully today surrounded by his loving family,” his family said in a statement to PEOPLE.

The statement highlighted Burrows’ remarkable impact on television, noting that he directed more than 1,000 episodes throughout a career that spanned over five decades. His credits included iconic series such as “The Mary Tyler Moore Show,” “Taxi,” “Cheers,” “Frasier,” “Friends,” “Will & Grace,” and “The Big Bang Theory.”

“For more than five decades, Burrows was one of the most influential and beloved directors in television history,” the family said. “As a legendary director, mentor, and creative force, he helped shape generations of comedy and brought immeasurable joy to audiences around the world.”

Family Says James Burrows’ Greatest Impact Was Off Camera

Beyond his professional accomplishments, Burrows’ loved ones said he would be remembered for his generosity and the way he treated those around him.

“He possessed a rare ability to make everyone better and was known for remembering every person he met by name, making colleagues at every level feel seen, valued, and appreciated,” the statement continued.

The family added that Burrows believed great comedy was about more than laughs, calling it “humanity, connection, and truth,” and said his influence would continue through the countless artists he inspired and the stories he helped bring to life.

Burrows is survived by his wife, Debbie, four daughters, and seven grandchildren.

At the time of writing, the most interesting movies of 2026 so far have belonged to the horror genre… and, technically, one noteworthy release often gets called a 2025 film (Obsession), since that’s when it premiered. Still, most people saw it in 2026, and it came out pretty close to Backrooms, with both getting attention for doing a lot with modest budgets, and raising the profiles of the two up-and-coming directors behind them: Curry Barker for Obsession, and Kane Parsons for Backrooms. Both had made videos online, though, before directing these highly successful theatrical releases, with Parsons having most of his pre-Backrooms (2026) work also related to Backrooms, since that’s the name of the web series he created and directed, with most of its episodes being released in 2022.

Backrooms, both the movie and the series, are about The Backrooms, which is a concept that originated from a post on 4chan. Someone posted a photo of an unsettling image, and then someone else commented about it being “The Backrooms,” which is – to quote this anonymous person – “approximately six hundred million square miles of randomly segmented empty rooms to be trapped in.” People ran with it, and built certain mythological concepts to go in it, with Parsons finding the most success, in this regard. The horror of this concept is fresh, but also not entirely unheard of, since there are other works of horror that have played around with the idea of liminal and unknown spaces, and House of Leaves, a novel from 2000 written by Mark Z. Danielewski, might well exemplify it the best.

The Plots of ‘House of Leaves’ and ‘Backrooms’

The world of Backrooms is complex, but the premise of the 2026 film (as it currently exists, without follow-ups/sequels) is quite simple. There isn’t much of a plot there, because a man (Chiwetel Ejiofor) discovers an entrance to the titular Backrooms, and is then driven mad by how enormous, eerie, and otherworldly it is. His therapist (Renate Reinsve) eventually sets out to find him and discovers the realm herself. That’s about it, plus some other side characters who are brought in to document an exploration of the Backrooms, which is where the movie gets to become a found footage film, and it’s that stretch of Backrooms that is probably the strongest. It’s worth mentioning the found footage part, because House of Leaves incorporates something like that, too.

Also, House of Leaves is much more complex to try to break down. At its center, there is a documentary that was made about a house that appears to be bigger on the inside than on the outside, while also containing the entrance to some sort of impossibly limitless realm. A man named Zampanò spent the last stage of his life looking into and analyzing this documentary, with another man, Johnny Truant, documenting and analyzing Zampanò’s analysis. There are a couple more layers beyond this, so it’s all quite dizzying to break down and process in its entirety. But, the in-universe documentary, “The Navidson Record” (which might not even actually exist within the main universe of House of Leaves, whatever that universe is), is the part that’s reminiscent of Backrooms, so it’s best to focus on that for now.

How ‘House of Leaves’ Manages To Be So Scary

Even if you don’t find liminal spaces particularly scary (somehow), the madness of House of Leaves – and the madness it aims to inspire – will likely prove unsettling. There are things it does with its formatting and overall style that make you feel like you’re part of that chain of people mentioned before; like you’ve stumbled upon an analysis of an analysis of a documentary, and that you might also lose your grip on reality like all those people before you did. It does all come back to the house and what’s somehow contained in it, though. It’s hard to describe, and that’s part of what makes various people who don’t actually perish within the horrific maze (that it more or less is) go kind of mad, in the end. Capturing it all with filming/recording equipment is not enough, and proves challenging in unforeseen ways.

There’s no reality there, and it would be scary enough to have the story just be the events of The Navidson Record, but it’s the layering that helps. The layering makes it feel like waking up from a nightmare, and then still being in another nightmare that you subsequently wake up from, and then you’re not sure if you’re really awake, or if the nightmares are still going. In this sense, the horror hits a little harder, or cuts a little deeper, than what you get in Backrooms (2026). Then again, that is just one movie, and not a particularly long one at that, while House of Leaves is dense, lengthy, and something that’ll likely take most people a good deal of time to get through and properly digest.

The Ways ‘House of Leaves’ Can Only Work as a Book

Image via Doubleday

This is all scratching the surface of House of Leaves, but that’s hopefully forgivable, because there is so much here that can only be appreciated if you sit down and read the thing. Also, you really have to literally sit down and read it, because the formatting, (sometimes trippy) footnotes, and some of the unusual creative choices throughout House of Leaves make the idea of an audiobook version (at least of the entire text) pretty much impossible. There are even things in the book that make the idea of a Kindle/digital version hard to imagine, at least one that captures everything in the physical version.

It’s the ambition and borderline-insanity of it all that really makes it a special book, though. House of Leaves is easy to recommend, if you liked the Backrooms movie or the sort of horror that Backrooms (2026) explores. House of Leaves goes a bit beyond “just” liminal horror in some surprising and inventive ways, but those things are best left up to each individual person to explore. Even if you’re not wild about reading, and find the idea of a 700+ page-long book intimidating, House of Leaves is well worth giving a shot and getting (so very) lost in.

In a rather controversial move this past week, Netflix canceled a high-profile new sci-fi series executive-produced by the Duffer Brothers just a month after its release. During this month, the series in question accumulated more than 20 million views on the platform, which typically waits at least three months before deciding whether to push ahead with a given title. This time, however, four weeks was enough. Not long after the shock cancellation, a report illustrated the many reasons why Netflix made the decision. One of the reasons offered was the Duffers’ exiting Netflix and beginning a creative partnership at Paramount, where they’ll be able to make theatrical movies in addition to linear television and streaming shows. Netflix’s decision, according to the report, came mere days after the deadline to extend deals with the series’ cast ended, and days before Emmy voting closed.

It was also reported that the show cost more than $10 million per episode, which puts the price tag for the eight-episode season at under $100 million. The cancellation happened shortly after Netflix shared its latest batch of viewership data, where the show in question pulled 2 million views. It garnered 5.6 million views in its first week, 9.5 million views in its second week, and 3.7 million views in its third. The most surprising piece of information, however, came a day after the show’s cancellation, when Nielsen reported viewership numbers from a month ago. Nielsen typically shares streaming data a few weeks after the fact, and the latest report tracks the week of May 18 to May 24. The Duffers’ sci-fi show premiered on May 21.

Netflix’s Abruptly Canceled Series Garnered Millions of Viewers and Received Critical Acclaim

According to Nielsen, it accumulated 1.2 billion minutes watched during its premiere week, finishing second on the top 10 list behind Netflix’s own Nemesis, which garnered 1.3 billion minutes viewed. We’re talking, of course, about The Boroughs. The series stars Alfred Molina, Geena Davis, Alfre Woodard, Clarke Peters, and Jena Malone. In addition to these strong viewership figures, the show also received high critical acclaim. It now holds a “Certified Fresh” 97% score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, where the consensus reads, “The Boroughs exudes excellence through its wonderfully plotted sci-fi trappings, star-studded cast, heartfelt narrative, and genuine ingenuity; a new classic through-and-through.” The Duffers have more projects in development at Netflix, and their mysterious event movie at Paramount was recently dated for November 2028. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.

Sure, you could throw on a tee and a pair of shorts over your one-piece, but there’s something about a swimsuit cover-up that makes it feel like you’re on vacation. Amazon is making sure you’re not breaking the bank by providing plenty of options for under $30. They’re so good that we’re confused how they’re still in stock!

Like everything you wear in the summer or on vacation, you want it to be lightweight and breathable, which is what we focused on when choosing our favorite styles. Quick-drying fabric is also a plus, because who wants to sit in a damp dress at lunch? Shoppers have given their stamps of approval on these swimsuit cover-ups, so you know they’re well worth their reasonable price tags.

17 Swimsuit Cover-Ups That Look Way Too Chic To Be Under $30

2. Cool Crochet: With thousands of five-star ratings, shoppers love this drapey crochet cover-up. The all-over cutouts are sure to dry before you even make your way to the boardwalk.

3. Serious Sun Protection: The summer sun is no joke, and this zip-up hooded cover-up offers ultraviolet protection factor (UPF) 50 that’ll save your skin. It has large side pockets to carry your essentials, too.

6. Sweetly Sheer: If this chiffon-like swimsuit cover-up wasn’t sheer, it would make the cutest dress ever. The adjustable drawstring waist gives you some shape for a style you’ll want to live in.

7. Cinched-In Style: This high-low swimsuit cover-up has a drawstring waist, but we’re really wowed by the crochet neckline. It finds the balance of being simple yet vacation-ready.

8. Nice Knot: You can’t go wrong with this $10 short-sleeve cover-up that has a knot detail at the hem. It has a textured feel, too, so even if you get a solid color, it’s not such a simple look.

15. Eyes on Eyelet: We love the adjustable waist on this short swimsuit cover-up, but our favorite detail is on the neckline. The unique circular cutouts add that breezy element that’s made for summer.

16. Lively Long-Sleeve: People will think you got this knit swimsuit cover-up at a boutique, as it has a cute cutout held together with a touch of golden hardware. It’ll be tough to choose among the 14 colors, though.

Video games are the future of storytelling, with their immersive narratives and gameplay gaining millions of fans around the world. As titles such as Grand Theft Auto VI and Resident Evil continue to push the medium forward, more and more fans share their opinions on these games, some good, and some bad. It is impossible to please everyone, but a select few games are universally beloved.

The best reception a game can get is universal acclaim with no hate, but that is nearly impossible, especially with such a polarizing fan base. However, some games achieve that feat, which is why this list will rank the ten most universally beloved video games of all time. Based on aspects such as design, gameplay, narrative, visuals, polish, influence, originality, widespread appeal, fan love, lack of hate, and overall quality, everyone loves these ten games.

‘Red Dead Redemption 2’ (2018)

Rockstar is one of the most prolific video game studios, with their next masterpiece that could be on this list coming out in November 2026. But for now, their best game is Red Dead Redemption 2, which follows Arthur Morgan in the dying age of the Wild West. However, he goes on one last adventure to come to terms with his humanity and a last chance at redemption.

The 2018 Game of the Year winner was so controversial because Red Dead Redemption 2 didn’t win, which was, and still is, one of the most popular video games. The life-like realism of not only the visuals but also the details and minor mechanics builds an immersive Wild West experience. However, everyone loves Red Dead Redemption 2 for its award-winning narrative that has the best character arc in video game history.

‘Stardew Valley’ (2016)

It is extremely difficult for an indie game to get popular, but if it does, it will become a beloved classic. This is what happened with Stardew Valley. After inheriting the titular land, players are tasked with rebuilding the surrounding area by exploring caverns, managing residents and resources, and farming to build the economy.

There are many beloved indies, but that is because they only have a cult fan base. Stardew Valley, on the other hand, is an indie sensation, not only being popular but also establishing itself as a comfort classic. The addictive gameplay loop and cozy atmosphere deliver low-stress entertainment that connects perfectly with so many players.

8

‘The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time’ (1998)

This list features some of the biggest video game franchises, but none are as iconic as The Legend of Zelda, and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is still the best of the series. After the evil Gerudo king, Ganondorf, kidnaps Princess Zelda, a forest boy named Link must travel through the present and future in order to wake up the sages and stop Ganondorf’s plan.

When a video game is dubbed the greatest of all time, it usually means most people like it. But it also opens itself up to hate since it is the best. Despite that, Ocarina of Time still holds that legacy, proving that love outweighs hate. Every Zelda game is a masterpiece, but Ocarina of Time is another level of influential, arguably being the most important video game of all time.

7

‘Minecraft’ (2011)

The most popular video games are popular for a reason, but some, like Fortnite, have just as much hate as love. Minecraft, on the other hand, beats those allegations. Players are given unlimited freedom as they can mine, build, craft, and explore, doing whatever they want in survival or creative mode with friends, or by themselves.

Minecraft does have some haters, but the hate those gamers feel pales in comparison to the love the fans have. Minecraft is the biggest game for a reason, and that is, fans have been playing it for years, and with new content added periodically, the game remains fresh. Some players hold a special nostalgic place in their hearts for Minecraft; others still enjoy it today, but either way, everyone loves it.

6

‘Resident Evil 4’ (2005)

The introduction mentioned Resident Evil, which is celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2026, highlighting its ninth game. However, nothing beats Resident Evil 4, which follows Leon S. Kennedy, a special operative sent to Spain in order to save the president’s daughter from an evil cult infected by a zombie-like parasite.

In a beloved video game franchise home to the greatest horror experiences in gaming history, Resident Evil 4 is the definitive entry. This game revolutionized the genre and franchise by shifting its focus to thrilling action-horror gameplay. From overly dramatic backflips to intense shootouts, this invigorating video game wormed its way into everyone’s hearts.

5

‘Fallout: New Vegas’ (2010)

Bethesda doesn’t have a good track record anymore after a couple of misses, but at the very least, they have Fallout: New Vegas. Instead of controlling a vault dweller, players are a courier in the Mojave Desert, tasked with delivering a package to the New Vegas Strip. But things quickly spiral out of control as a turf war between two factions rages.

Players love agency, and when a game like Fallout: New Vegas gives players the complete freedom they’ve been craving, it instantly becomes a fan-favorite. With a plethora of engaging side quests and eccentric characters everywhere, this game is a worldbuilding masterclass. With so many aspects to love, it is no wonder that Fallout: New Vegas is a universally beloved video game.

4

‘Nintendogs’ (2005)

Nintendo is known for having some of the most beloved video games because of their casual appeal and family fun, and the game that fits the bill the most is Nintendogs. Selecting from a variety of dog breeds, gamers care for their pups by playing with them, grooming them, giving them food, and simply having a good time with their digital dogs.

Fans are still praying for a new Nintendogs game on the Nintendo Switch 2, and that is because the franchise is a beloved icon. Literally no one can hate a game about caring for puppies. It has such a wholesome premise and fans form right bonds with their dogs, further cementing the joy and love while playing Nintendogs, making it universally beloved.

3

‘Elden Ring’ (2022)

Beloved video games are usually comforting and timeless titles, and while Elden Ring isn’t comforting, it is definitely timeless. After the titular object is broken into multiple pieces, the children of Aueen Marika claim them. However, the player arises as the Tarnished, sent to defeat the demigod children, claim the shards, restore the ring, and become the Elden Lord.

Combining FromSoftware’s staple dark fantasy combat and challenging, yet rewarding gameplay with George R.R. Martin’s worldbuilding and lore, Elden Ring became an instant classic. This definitive fantasy masterpiece is a new age phenomenon, boasting one of the greatest video game narratives alongside a magnificent sense of exploration, which meld into a video game unlike anything ever made.

2

‘Portal 2’ (2011)

Image via Valve

Valve unfortunately doesn’t make video games anymore, which is truly sad because gamers won’t get a sequel to Portal 2. Years after the first game, players wake up in the same scientific facility, but this time it is abandoned. Trying to escape with the help of Wheatley, players accidentally awaken GLaDOS, who wants revenge for the last time, forcing them to undergo ruthless experiments.

Portal 2 has remained without controversy for decades, and that is because there is nothing to hate about a perfectly crafted masterpiece. The witty dialogue and charming characters create an endearing narrative that complements the vibe and gameplay, working together to build a succinct experience. Portal 2 has innovative mechanics and intricate puzzles that challenge the mind, making those who hate it the ones unable to solve the puzzles.

1

‘Wii Sports’ (2006)

Being universally beloved is no easy feat, especially in the video game industry, but one way to earn goodwill is by giving fans a video game for free. Wii Sports was a free game everyone got with a purchase of the Wii, offering a handful of sports such as golf, tennis, boxing, bowling, and baseball. With intuitive motion controls, gamers felt like they were really playing these sports.

Wii Sports is a simple game, but that is all players need to have fun. The intuitive controls made it so anyone could play, and everyone did, from grandparents to children. Wii Sports is a video game for all gamers, boasting a whimsical style and customizable Miis, which added a layer of immersion on top of the motion controls. Every game has its haters, but Wii Sports is as close as it comes to a perfect, universally beloved video game.

At just $24, the perfume oil is an affordable way to channel a warm, sophisticated scent that feels anything but basic.

Unlike traditional patchouli fragrances that can lean heavy or overpowering, Cyklar Perfume Oil takes a fresher approach, balancing earthy patchouli with soft woody notes and subtle hints of warmth, creating an overall scent that feels clean, skin-like and super wearable.

Because oils don’t contain alcohol, they tend to wear closer to the skin and can feel better than traditional sprays. As the perfume oil warms on the skin, the fragrance unfolds gradually, allowing different notes to emerge rather than disappearing after a few hours. The small applicator also makes it easy to target pulse points throughout the day, making it perfect when you’re heading from meeting to date night, or if you’re simply looking for a quick refresh after running errands.
