Epic movies don’t get a whole lot better than Lawrence of Arabia, and neither do movies generally speaking, really. It’s a difficult one to talk about because all the things it does, it does incredibly well, so reviewing or analyzing Lawrence of Arabia really just feels like listing off the things that you can find in almost any movie. There is acting in Lawrence of Arabia, and it’s fantastic. There is cinematography in Lawrence of Arabia, and it is beautiful. There is music in Lawrence of Arabia, and it is excellent. See where it goes? It goes nowhere. So, what’s more interesting is looking at the epic genre specifically, and playing a bit of a game that involves asking the question of whether any other film of a similar scope/scale/runtime not only equals Lawrence of Arabia, but arguably surpasses it. They said it couldn’t be done, and maybe they were right. But there is going to be an attempt here, regardless.
Sorry in advance for causing potential outrage. What’s best to remember here is that four pretty much perfect movies are being juggled here at once, and Lawrence of Arabia is one of those airborne balls. It’s impressive that those other balls are there, though, and are being thrown around at the same time, all the while being just as deserving of one’s attention as the, uh, Lawrence of Arabia ball. Does this make sense? It doesn’t really, does it? Maybe it shouldn’t. Maybe this is a particularly risky endeavor, but anyway, enough with delaying the inevitable. These epics are all at least as amazing as Lawrence of Arabia, and perhaps even ever so slightly better (all of them 10/10s, but some potentially more 10-worthy than others).
10 years on from Lawrence of Arabia, The Godfather did for crime/gangster epics what that movie did for war epics. Also, both won Best Picture at the Oscars, and proved very deserving of that award for their respective years. With The Godfather, you have what’s essentially the opening act of an eventual three-part tragedy, all of those parts about the Corleone crime family, with the first movie being arguably the most perfect. The Godfather Part II does complicate things a little, though. In some ways, it might be even better than The Godfather, or at least it can be called more of an epic, since it is longer overall and covers a greater span of time, thanks to its use of flashbacks throughout. But The Godfather (1972) is still very much an epic, and certainly isn’t lacking, by any means, when it comes to ambition. It juggles quite a few different characters and narrative threads, all while seamlessly transferring main character status from Vito Corleone (Marlon Brando) to his son, Michael (Al Pacino), in a way that feels organic, and it makes sense that later films, then, are focused on Michael and his downfall, in contrast to how Vito rose beyond the status (or lack thereof) he had earlier in his life.
When it comes to crowning the best crime movie of the 1970s, it usually boils down to either The Godfather or The Godfather Part II.
Also, similarly to Lawrence of Arabia, you’re pretty much overwhelmed with things to praise, when it comes to The Godfather, and it’s another instance of a film where just about everything is indeed praiseworthy. When it comes to crowning the best crime movie of the 1970s, it usually boils down to either The Godfather or The Godfather Part II, and there are only a handful of gangster movies made since 1972/1974 that could be considered on the same level. And few of them are as epic in scope as The Godfather and its sequel (see the excellent Goodfellas, for example, which is an ambitious and very confident film, but not really an epic in the conventional sense). You can’t go wrong with anything here, in this first Godfather movie, and though it’s a different sort of epic to Lawrence of Arabia, if you want to compare them anyway, The Godfather might well be a tad better.
It should be stressed that this is a different War and Peace from the English-language version that starred Audrey Hepburn and Henry Fonda, and came out in 1956. That one was certainly an epic, with a runtime of almost 3.5 hours, but it was dwarfed by the War and Peace adaptation from about a decade later, which is technically a four-part film with a combined runtime of just over seven hours. That might sound excessive until you remember how long War and Peace (the novel by Leo Tolstoy) is, and if anything, condensing it all to just seven hours is quite the screenwriting achievement. It naturally can’t adapt everything, but you do get a lot here, with the backdrop being the Napoleonic Wars, and the story centering on a handful of characters who have their lives changed by said conflict. You get a bit of war, and a bit of peace (well, the peace side of things is only comparatively peaceful, since there’s quite a bit of romantic and social turmoil explored throughout).
There might not be any other films that feel as big as War and Peace does, and that’s the reason it’s here. If it didn’t have a literal unlimited budget, then it at least looked as though it might’ve, especially when you get to the massive battle sequences and take in just how many extras were used throughout. How anything was even coordinated at such a scale is mind-boggling, and then even when there aren’t battle sequences being captured, so many other scenes go way grander in scope than you might expect (like all the lavish ball scenes). Sergei Bondarchuk directed this mammoth film while also being one of the stars (playing Count Pierre Bezukhov), so that’s a massive achievement worth admiring, too. Life is short, yes, and the idea of watching a seven-hour movie might sound daunting, but it really is finding the time for something like War and Peace, as there is nothing else like it (within the epic genre or otherwise) out there, really.
You should watch more than one samurai movie, but if it really only can be one, for whatever reason, it’s good to go with Seven Samurai. There are probably 700 things about this movie that are great, but if you want just seven, to be cute and stuff, how about: (1) it’s well-paced, (2) it’s epic but also personal, (3) the stakes are always high, (4) the characters are memorable, (5) the acting’s phenomenal, (6) the climax is incredible, and (7) it’s massively influential. Its influence becomes obvious when you watch it, especially if you’re already familiar with a good many action movies made since 1954, since Seven Samurai told a big story and told it perfectly, all the while fully defining the ideal structure for an action movie made on such a scale. The premise here involves townspeople hiring warriors to defend their town from an incoming bandit attack, and across the three acts, you have the formation of a team, then the planning of a battle, and then, finally, the battle/showdown itself.
It all sounds quite simple when you lay it out like that, and in a narrative sense, Seven Samurai is kind of straightforward, or at least easy to label as approachable/efficient. But telling a story, even a simple one, with such clarity is no easy task, and Seven Samurai’s plot only feels familiar nowadays, in the first place, because of all the movies that were influenced by Seven Samurai. It’s also far from the only masterpiece Akira Kurosawa ever directed, and if you’re talking epics, then Ran (1985) is almost just as good, but Seven Samurai does remain his most well-known, acclaimed, and influential film for good reason. Actually, for many reasons. At least seven, maybe as many as 700. It’s not 700 minutes long, but it is lengthy, at about 207 minutes, and none of them are wasted. There’s a lot that can be learned from the writing and filmmaking on offer here, but there’s also so much to just be entertained by, with this being remarkably engrossing for a movie that, at the time of writing, isn’t actually far off from being three-quarters of a century old (essentially timeless stuff, in other words).

Paulina Porizkova is showing off her stunning figure in a vibrant red bikini ahead of her 61st birthday.
Taking to Instagram on Thursday, April 9, Porizkova flaunted her abs in the swimwear as she shared an empowering message about aging.
“I’m trying on this new super cute summer bikini and I’m reminded how far I’ve traveled in self-acceptance. I will be 61 tomorrow,” she said via the social media clip. “And I understand that this might sound crazy to you, but 40 years ago when I was 21 and when I was at the height of my career and supermodel-dom, that was when I felt the most insecure.”
Porizkova explained that there were several factors in her younger years that caused her to be insecure.
“[It was] partly because [of] the endless comparisons to other models by the people who employed me. I never seemed to be good enough,” she explained. “And of course, partly because my self-worth was entirely tied to my looks.”
Porizkova said she was leaving behind the insecurities to embrace her current age.
“So today I’m trying on this cute summer bikini and I flex muscles that I’ve been working my cellulite butt off for. And not necessarily so I can look best in this bikini, but to feel my best in this sixth decade,” she said.
She then joked, “You know, actually? Who am I kidding? I kicked my workout up like 10 notches because I do want to look my best this summer, but not necessarily in a bikini… in a wedding dress.”
Porizkova has often been candid about aging, beauty and body positivity via her social media posts.
Last month, Porizkova stripped down to lingerie for a shoot she shared via her Instagram, telling her followers that “good light and posing” is the secret to looking great.
“Smoke and mirrors, folks. That’s how you make it look good for a moment,” the model captioned the March 12 post. “The truth is, gravity takes its toll. But! Gravity has also built your strength so you can hold your head higher than ever.”
In July 2025, Porizkova shared another sizzling lingerie snap via her Instagram and spoke about the effort she’d put in to maintain her figure.
“This is 60 years of sometimes healthy eating, sometimes not,” she captioned the post. “60 years of sometimes working out, sometimes not. 60 years of doing the right things followed by doing the wrong things and over again and again.”
Porizkova added that she’s still learning things in life, even when she thinks she’s “figured” everything out.
She continued, “The beauty of 60 is that now I understand the importance is IN the lesson, not passing the exam.”
Mick Fleetwood is celebrating love once again, as he marries for the fifth time. The Fleetwood Mac drummer has been married four times before to three different women, with his last divorce finalized in 2015. Now, he appears to have found happiness again, embracing a new chapter with his longtime partner, Elizabeth Jordan.
Mick Fleetwood is celebrating his marriage to Elizabeth Jordan, sharing the news on social media. On March 28, the 78-year-old drummer took to Instagram to share a few snapshots, writing that he was enjoying his honeymoon in the South Pacific.
One of the photos shows the couple, who appeared to be dressed in their wedding attire, posing for a snapshot with Fleetwood concealing their faces from the camera with his fedora. In another photo, the newlyweds were captured mid-kiss, with Jordan’s back facing the camera. Two other photos showed the musician enjoying the view and the crystal blue waters.
It isn’t known when the wedding occurred, but as musician Mike Lawson revealed on Threads last year, as reported by the Daily Mail, they were engaged in March 2025. “Mick Fleetwood just texted and said he is marrying his girlfriend of five years, Elizabeth. How cool, finding love and making that commitment is beautiful. Congrats!” Lawson wrote.

According to reports, Fleetwood and Jordan have been together since 2023, making their relationship public at the Grammy Awards, where the drummer performed a tribute to her late Fleetwood Mac bandmate, Christine McVie, who died of a stroke in 2022.
Jordan is a licensed realtor based in Hawaii and owns a property management company with properties in New York, California, and Maui. Moreover, she serves as the director for the Mick Fleetwood Foundation, a non-profit organization that Fleetwood launched in 2023 to promote and fund music education in schools.

Fleetwood has had a well-documented romantic history, with the latest union with Jordan marking his fifth marriage.
His first wife was Jenny Boyd, whom he married in 1970 and divorced six years later. However, the couple reconciled briefly, marrying for a second time in 1977 and divorcing again in 1978. They share two daughters, Amy and Lucy.
Fleetwood had an affair with bandmate Stevie Nicks while he was married to Boyd, with the drummer describing that time as “very bright and crazy” in his 2014 memoir “Play On: Now, Then, and Fleetwood Mac.” Nicks also acknowledged the affair publicly, admitting that the song “Sara” was about Fleetwood.
In 1988, Fleetwood tied the knot with Sara Recor, who was one of Nicks’ closest friends. The drummer had an affair with Recor while he was with Nicks, which strained the friendship. However, the two later reconciled. Fleetwood and Recor divorced in 1995.
Fleetwood’s third wife was Lynn Frankel, marking his fourth marriage. They married in 1995 and welcomed twin daughters, Tessa and Ruby, in 2002. They separated in 2013, and their divorce was finalized in 2015.
Many fans were surprised to hear about Fleetwood’s marriage and expressed their reactions on social media.
“I don’t think there’s a reasonable limit for rock stars,” one wrote, noting the drummer’s fifth time getting married. “People who marry that many times are the ultimate optimists. Congrats to them,” another added. “Still a good looking man and she is very pretty. Best of luck to both of them,” one wrote.
“He will never break the chain,” one user commented, referencing Fleetwood Mac’s classic song, “The Chain.” “Fifth time lucky!” said another.
Fleetwood Mac was formed in London in 1967, with the original lineup consisting of founder and vocalist Peter Green, drummer Mick Fleetwood, guitarist Jeremy Spencer, and bassist John McVie. Green left the band in 1970, and McVie’s wife, Christine McVie, joined as a keyboardist.
Fleetwood Mac moved to the U.S. in 1974, and Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham joined that same year. With the latest additions, the band found a new voice. Their 1977 album “Rumours,” which was a massive commercial and critical success, remains one of the best-selling albums in history.
Fleetwood Mac was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2012, cementing their status as one of the defining bands of their generation.
At a time when Netflix wasn’t taking risks, Altered Carbon had the makings of a sci-fi classic. Adapted from Richard Morgan’s book of the same name, the series showcases a cyberpunk future where the rich have become so powerful that not even death can stop them. This dark sci-fi series shows the worst-case scenario of how bodily autonomy can be disregarded — bodies are just flesh vessels to be used and discarded. Altered Carbon had a lot of potential, like so many Netflix series, but faded into purgatory. However, another show is just as relevant thematically while somehow being an even darker depiction of sci-fi.
Pivoting off the success of CD Projekt Red’s video game, Cyberpunk 2077, Netflix released an anime set in the same world. Cyberpunk: Edgerunners ran for 10 episodes and maintains all the hallmarks of the most emotionally traumatizing anime. With the use of animation, the series plumbs the depths of darkness that Altered Carbon could only dream of.
Just as Altered Carbon demonstrates the dangers of the uber-rich, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners wastes no time in showing the dystopian landscape of a world controlled by corporations. This is established early on in Cyberpunk 2077 when the protagonist V saves a woman wealthy enough to pay for the privatized Trauma Team, while others cannot. Even so, viewers don’t need to have played the game to understand Edgerunners, and in many ways, it hammers home the themes even better.
Edgerunners follows David Martinez, a poor teenager in Night City, a city run by corporations. His mother, Gloria, works as a paramedic, but that isn’t enough to help her son pull himself up by his bootstraps. David is looked down on at his private school because he can’t afford the upgrades to his school software. Things take a turn for the worse when Gloria is killed in a drive-by shooting, and their lack of funds directly impacts her quality of care.
In a thinly veiled criticism of capitalism, David’s only recourse is to become an Edgerunner. Arming himself with cybernetic upgrades, he becomes a mercenary for hire in a world that doesn’t accept anything but the ultrarich. As David tries to make his way in the world, he falls in with a found family, including Lucy, a netrunner.
David finds his place, but Night City is still unforgiving. Edgerunners makes no secret about its disdain for corporations and demonstrates how capitalism victimizes everyone. The series is a 10/10 when it comes to storytelling, but its animation is where the series really shines. Edgerunners benefits from the mesmerizing animation style as David goes through love, loss, and sacrifice. The visual beauty of the series accompanies the futile actions of the characters. As viewers fall in love with these nuanced people, they are all subjected to the inhumanity of living in Night City.
Edgerunners takes the fascinating lore of ripperdocs, cybernetic implants, and cyberpsychosis, elevating it beyond its original form. The first season is short and sweet, but viewers can catch it on Netflix before the release of Season 2.

“It is the honor of an entire lifetime to host a night celebrating the literal hardest working people in showbiz,” the singer shared in a statement.
In the popular consciousness, John Wayne is primarily viewed as a cultural figure first and foremost, and an actor second. Wayne, despite winning a late-career Academy Award for True Grit, relied on familiar beats and recurring character archetypes as an actor, a formula that certainly won’t impress audiences raised on transformative method acting and naturalism in the modern age.
His best performances, including his refreshingly tender and wistful turn as a boxer acclimating himself to his Irish roots in The Quiet Man, see him subverting his unabashed patriotism and mighty heroism, which are routinely deployed in countless Westerns and war epics. No director utilized Wayne’s prodigious stature better than John Ford, and the director’s most ingenious casting of the star was in his St. Patrick’s Day classic.
Separating the art from the artist is a tricky act of compartmentalization when chronicling the filmography of John Wayne, whose staunch nationalist politics were often inextricable from his portrayal of American excellence. The harshest reflection of Wayne’s notorious history of racism is in his Westerns, which frequently demonize the existence and minimize the plight of Native Americans. Still, no matter how self-conscious he was about maintaining a squeaky-clean, government-approved image, Wayne’s most trusted collaborators knew how to imbue his persona with darkness and complexity. Howard Hawks and John Ford operated within the familiar Western genre, but films such as Red River and The Searchers were biting deconstructions of Western protagonists that plunged into the dark psyche of America’s core regarding violence and racism.
With The Quiet Man from 1951, Ford stripped away Wayne’s unflinching poise and fortitude, despite his character, Sean Thornton, being a retired professional boxer. Born in Ireland but raised in America, Sean returns to his birthplace, Inisfree, to purchase his family’s old farm. However, his return home is not entirely festive, as he encounters the cutthroat politics of the local land barons and the domineering presence of Will Danaher (Victor McLaglen), over his free-spirited sister and love interest to Sean, Mary Kate (Maureen O’Hara). The film, which earned Ford his fourth Academy Award for Best Director, is a visual feast, with Winton Hoch’s photography of the Irish countryside and the luscious green fields representing the apex of Technicolor. Ford became the poet laureate of the American West, but his Irish roots were rarely explored with such passion as in The Quiet Man, which embraces the rambunctiousness and elegiac beauty of the culture.
Sean Thornton can brawl his way out of any skirmish, as displayed in the rollicking, extended climactic fistfight with Will throughout town. His burly stature is intimidating to the Irish natives, but he is no match for the fiery spunk of Mary Kate, the rare female character to upend the prowess of her male counterpart in a Ford movie. The Quiet Man is Ford’s utopia of a tight-knit community that’s unafraid to indulge in booze, pick a fight, but still love each other altogether. Frequent stock company player Maureen O’Hara symbolizes Ford’s ideal woman: a plucky redhead whose enigmatic aura makes her autonomous from all her surroundings. Wayne allows Sean to be openly smitten and hesitant around Mary Kate, making this perhaps Wayne’s most vulnerable and relatable performance. The actor’s subtle gestures and restraint embody the feeling of being unable to quit someone, even if you know they only bring turbulence.
After a series of Westerns like Stagecoach and Fort Apache, Ford dropped Wayne into uncharted territory in this romantic dramedy about societal etiquette and strict tradition. Between his distinct voice and gait, Wayne was a portrait of life unto himself, but in The Quiet Man, he never felt smaller. In various interactions with eccentric locals and priests, Sean is on his heels, oblivious to the otherworldly nature of a place of heritage that he thought he understood. This quality taps into Wayne’s effortless ability to appear aloof, a quality that always complements his lanky build. Rather than exerting brute force, the Duke was much easier to romanticize when he allowed himself to be naive and bumbling.
No one understood John Wayne’s strengths and vices better than John Ford, who fleshed out his worldview in the actor’s most soulful role. Radiating charm throughout The Quiet Man, a traditional viewing experience on St. Patrick’s Day, Sean Thornton is an avatar for Ford’s vision of the modern man — one defined by hard-nosed masculinity and wistful romanticism.
Of all the exciting returning shows in 2026, few were as hotly anticipated as The Boys. Prime Video’s gory superhero satire has been stunning audiences since it first arrived in 2019, and has picked up a total of four Primetime Emmys, alongside many other awards and nominations. A blood-soaked disassembly of modern American attitudes to celebrity worship, the series finally returned for its final season this past Wednesday, hoping to bounce back from a divisive fourth season.
And bounce back it has, with Season 5’s opening episode earning a huge 9.1/10 on IMDb. On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, Season 5 has already earned a near-perfect 98% score, although that is subject to change as more opinions are submitted. The consensus on the site reads, “The Boys stays true to its form and completes its mission with ample panache, narrative pay-off, and an excess of blood and guts to deviously glorious effect.”
Perhaps the most unsurprising of all The Boys Season 5’s early success comes on the streaming charts, where it has already flown straight to #2 in the global and U.S. Prime Video ranks. However, another superhero series stands between The Boys and the top spot, with Robert Kirkman‘s violent animated series Invincible continuing its impressive run at the summit. A synopsis for Season 5 reads:
“In the fifth and final season, it’s Homelander’s world, completely subject to his erratic, egomaniacal whims. Hughie, Mother’s Milk, and Frenchie are imprisoned in a “Freedom Camp.” Annie struggles to mount a resistance against the overwhelming Supe force. Kimiko is nowhere to be found. But when Butcher reappears, ready and willing to use a virus that will wipe all Supes off the map, he sets in motion a chain of events that will forever change the world and everyone in it. It’s the climax, people. Big stuff’s gonna happen.”
In Nate Richard‘s review of The Boys Season 5 for Collider, he agreed with most that the show has returned to form for its final outing. “Prime Video has been holding the series finale back for now, which makes perfect sense, but if the last episode can maintain the quality of the previous seven, The Boys Season 5 may just be one of the show’s best,” Richard wrote, adding, “It has all the gore, dark comedy, action, and vulgarity that you would expect, while also never veering too far out of control ahead of the final hour. In the words of Billy Butcher, Season 5 is bloody diabolical.”
The Boys is available to stream on Prime Video. Stay tuned to Collider for more streaming stories.

Taylor Swift is preparing for one of the most talked-about celebrity weddings of the year, but despite efforts to keep everything tightly controlled, key details have already slipped out.
The global superstar and her fiancé, Travis Kelce, are reportedly planning a lavish summer ceremony, complete with strict privacy rules and a carefully curated guest list.
Still, insiders say even the most airtight plans couldn’t stop information from leaking, offering fans a rare glimpse into what Swift has in store.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are said to be tying the knot on July 3, marking a major milestone in their high-profile relationship.
According to a report from the Daily Mail, the couple went to great lengths to ensure their big day remained private, requiring guests to RSVP with a signed NDA when save-the-date invitations were sent out.
Despite those precautions, details still found their way into the public domain.
Sources say the couple is “disappointed” by the leak but has no intention of taking legal action.
Instead, they are pressing ahead with preparations, focusing on making the day as special and controlled as possible.

While many fans assumed Taylor Swift would host her wedding at her well-known Rhode Island mansion, insiders say the ceremony will instead take place somewhere in New York.
The exact venue remains under wraps, though it has been described as an arena or museum-like space, suggesting a grand and unconventional setting.
The decision aligns with the singer’s deep connection to New York City. Over the years, she has built an impressive real estate footprint in Tribeca, combining multiple properties into one expansive living space.
She has also owned a nearby townhouse and a large loft in the same neighborhood.
Beyond property, the city has played a central role in her creative life. From her hit “Welcome to New York” to the fan-favorite “Cornelia Street,” Swift has repeatedly drawn inspiration from the city she now calls home.

One of Swift’s biggest priorities appears to be maintaining full control over the wedding environment.
Insiders say she has specifically chosen an indoor venue to avoid the unpredictability that comes with outdoor ceremonies.
“It will take place someplace indoors,” one source shared, noting that the 36-year-old wants to avoid the challenges faced at other celebrity weddings.
The insider added that “Taylor doesn’t want it to be like Selena’s wedding,” referencing Selena Gomez’s outdoor ceremony in California.
According to sources, the concern is that outdoor settings make it harder to guarantee privacy. By opting for an enclosed space, the Grammy Award winner is ensuring tighter security and a more controlled atmosphere.
The event is also expected to be fully documented, with insiders revealing that the “whole thing will be recorded,” possibly allowing the couple to revisit the day or even share moments with fans in the future.
Taylor Swift has already hinted that her wedding will be anything but small. During an appearance on “The Graham Norton Show” last October, she described the celebration as “huge” and admitted she was “so excited about it.”
She also offered a candid take on guest lists, explaining that smaller weddings could create unnecessary tension.
According to Swift, having fewer attendees often forces couples to “have to evaluate or assess your relationship” with people.
The star made it clear she intended to avoid that dilemma, joking, “Anyone I’ve ever talked to [is getting an invitation].”
The guest list is expected to reflect her wide circle of friends and connections. Among those likely to attend are Travis Kelce’s teammate Patrick Mahomes and his wife Brittany, as well as Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco.
However, sources say Blake Lively may not receive an invitation, as her relationship with Swift is no longer as close as it once was following recent court drama.

Swift’s upcoming wedding follows a whirlwind romance with Kelce that has captivated fans.
The NFL star proposed last summer after two years together, in an intimate backyard setting at his Kansas home.
Swift shared the news in her signature playful style on Instagram, writing, “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.”
The announcement marked a new chapter for the singer, who has had several high-profile relationships in the past, including Joe Alwyn, Taylor Lautner, Harry Styles, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Tom Hiddleston. Kelce, for his part, was previously in a long-term relationship with YouTuber Kayla Nicole.
Now, as the couple prepares for their wedding, their relationship continues to draw global attention, especially as carefully guarded details continue to emerge despite their best efforts to keep things private.
Tom Sandoval is weighing in on whether West Wilson should be the next Bravo star to join House of Villains amid his ongoing scandal.
Tom, 42, admitted to Us Weekly that he hasn’t “been following” the controversy surrounding West’s romance with Summer House costar Amanda Batula. However, when it comes to which reality stars would be a good fit for the show, Tom could see the vision for West, 31, to join in a potential season 4.
“It’s like any other show. If somebody on a reality show is going to be able to hold their own — just like on Traitors — they seem to do better,” he told Us during a joint exit interview with Tyson Apostol. “You would have as good a shot as anybody else.”
Hosted by Joel McHale, House of Villains features a cast of reality television’s most memorable and notorious villains. The contestants live in a house while competing in challenges for power and safety, voting to banish each other until the last villain remaining wins a $200,000 cash prize.
Tom joined the show in season 3 after his infamous cheating scandal with Rachel “Raquel” Leviss while dating then-girlfriend Ariana Madix. Tom has since moved on from the drama — and he hopes reality fans have as well.
“I have mentally moved on with my life and I’m focusing on all the positive things. I have some stuff coming up that I’m really excited about — that I can’t talk about — but I can’t help what people think,” he noted. “All I can do is just live my life and move forward.”
Being on House of Villains allowed Tom to take on “fun” opportunities, which helped him form friendships with people such as fellow contestant Tyson, 46. While speaking to Us, the Survivor alum had a different take on where he was in his villain era.
“I was never a villain. I’ve always been a hero,” he quipped. “I’ve always been a hero to my fan base.”
Tyson also spoke about the preconceived notions he had about Tom after watching his run on The Traitors, adding, “I just love that he was willing to just try and put himself out there and not really care. He was the only one that dared to try to sing backwards. So I was like, ‘Oh, I think that I will like this guy.’ Whenever I go on these shows, one of my goals is always to have fun and enjoy yourself a little bit.”
He continued: “With some of these personalities, it made it a little challenging to do that all the time. Tom was my rock of fun. I always know with Tom that we’ll have a good time, so all we have to do is get to our room and not let anybody else in.”
Tom, meanwhile, called the experience “really surprising.”
“It was better than I expected. It was so much fun. It was awesome meeting Tyson, and being around a great group of people was just cool. I had my reservations about going on House of Villains — just mainly because of the name — but I feel like we’re different,” he added. “I’m stoked. I felt like we made a great show, and it was so much fun.”
New episodes of House of Villains drop on Peacock Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET. The Official House of Villains Podcast airs immediately after new episodes on Peacock.
