Between Stranger Things, The Adventure Zone, Dimension20, and Critical Role, fantasy role-playing is hotter than ever. Nerds aren’t being stuffed into lockers, instead, they’re selling out Madison Square Garden for live Dungeons and Dragons games. You’d think Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves would have been the biggest movie of the decade, but instead the 2023 fantasy adventure was a disappointment, financially anyways. Critically and according to fans, it’s an amazing adventure well worth your time, especially now that it’s streaming for free on Pluto TV. 

Dungeons And Dragons: Honor Among Thieves Is The Greatest Adventure Of The Decade

Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves plays out like your home campaign on the big screen. Edgin the Bard (Chris Pine) and his party of thieves are betrayed by a Red Wizard and framed for a crime they didn’t commit. After breaking out of jail with his friend Holga the Barbarian (Michelle Rodriguez) by using an aarakocra in the only way that race should be used in your games, they get the band back together for one last heist. The plan is to get revenge on the wizard Sofina (Daisy Head) and Forge the Thief (Hugh Grant), rescue Edgin’s daughter, recover a lost artifact, and bring his wife back to life. Simple plan, what could go wrong?

They recruit Simon the Wizard (Justice Smith) and his ex, Doric the Druid(Sophia Lillis), who did more for Druid acceptance in playgroups around the world with her wild chase sequence than years of buffs and reworks from Wizards of the Coast ever did. Together they somehow bumble their way through a dragon’s lair, rob a stage coach, and survive an arena death game while bickering, arguing, and growing as people at the same time. The writer/director duo Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daly (Sweets from Bones) had ot have worked in real-life gaming experiences to make this story happen, there’s no other explanation for how perfect it is.

Bringing The Game To Life

A common occurrence playing Dungeons and Dragons is using a magic item in a strange, unintended way to solve a puzzle the Dungeon Master laid out. While breaching the dragon’s lair, that’s exactly what happens when a bridge puzzle with a hilariously convoluted explanation is cut short by an errant step, and solved with a portable dimensional hole device. The crowd-pleasing scene from the trailers of Edgin talking to corpses leads to one of the best sequences of the movie, and one of the best comedy scenes to come out of Hollywood in years. 

Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves had the bad timing of coming out the same month, March 2023, that Dungeons and Dragons parent company Hasbro managed to anger the entire fanbase by trying to charge for every use of the game, from actual play podcasts to homebrew creations. The boycott destroyed the film at the box office, but now that it’s been lifted since Hasbro came to their senses and learned now to mess with the fans of Matt Mercer and Brendan Lee Mulligan, it’s recognized as the greatest version of the game to hit the big screen. 

Removed from the Hasbro boycott, there’s never a bad time to stream Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves. It’s a feel-good comfort movie and it’s now free to stream on Pluto TV.

NCIS left fans with a major cliffhanger and possible death to end season 23 — so will the full cast be returning next season?

“If you ask me to speculate, I think there’s a major, major shakeup happening,” Wilmer Valderrama, who plays Nick Torres, told People in June 2026 after his character pulled a gun on Timothy McGee’s (Sean Murray) son, Mateo (Patrick Keleher), in a dark alley after confronting him during the finale about secretly logging into an NCIS computer.

The actor teased, “Next season, there’s some major changes and there are some major additions. What does that mean for Torres? I can only hope that he makes it out alive.”

NCIS showrunner Steven D. Binder confirmed to TV Insider that “someone was hit” during that pivotal shootout scene, but revealed death won’t be the outcome.

The NCIS season 23 finale brought a beloved character back to life — at least in spirit — before teasing the potential death of a different character. Warning: Spoilers below from NCIS season 23, episode 20. During the Tuesday, May 12, season 23 finale, director Leon Vance (Rocky Carroll) returned in multiple flashbacks after being […]

“I sort of had my fill this season, all of us, of killing people. So I can rule that out,” Binder explained in May 2026, referring to NCIS Director Leon Vance (Rocky Carroll) being killed off during season 23. “And also, there’s not a lot of fun there. When someone’s dead, they’re dead.”

Scroll down to see which cast members are — and aren’t — coming back for season 24:

Sean Murray

Murray’s Timothy McGee is the only remaining character from season 1 of the flagship series and there are no signs of his departure anytime soon.

“We’re still trying to do different shows and not trying to just do the same old thing. We’re trying to bring new stuff into it,” Murray exclusively told Us Weekly in November 2025, reflecting on his NCIS journey. “And I think that’s one of the reasons why I’ve never been bored here. … We’re always looking for the kind of, the interesting angle on things and a different take.”

Based on the season 23 finale, McGee’s dynamic with his teenage son (Keleher), whom he recently learned existed, will be a major focus next season. During the May 2026 finale, McGee’s son claimed he didn’t want to have an NCIS internship, only to be flushed out by Torres (Valderrama), who discovered he’s accessed their servers but kept the reason under wraps.

Wilmer Valderrama

Valderrama is expected to reprise his role as Nick Torres during season 24, but his condition following the explosive finale has not been revealed.

“To be honest, I don’t think we figured that one out yet,” Valderrama told People in June 2026 of what will happen to Torres now that someone got a shot off in the alley, hinting Torres or Mateo could be injured. “I don’t think we have an idea yet. I asked, ‘What do we want from it,’ but I will tell you that someone does get hit and people might not like it.”

Gary Cole

Gary Cole joined the cast during season 19 in 2021. With Director Leon Vance (Carroll) no longer at the helm of the office following his season 23 death, Cole’s Alden Parker will seemingly continue to hold down the fort for season 24.

Katrina Law

Katrina Law began playing Special Agent Jessica Knight during season 18 in 2021. She is the only female agent in the office, and after a brief stint on the REACT team, it appears as though she’ll be firmly planted back at NCIS next season.

Brian Dietzen

As the chief medical examiner, Brian Dietzen’s Dr. Jimmy Palmer has appeared to find his forever home on NCIS.

Diona Reasonover

Season 23 gave fans a little more insight into forensic scientist Kasie Hines’ background and actress Diona Reasonover has hinted there is plenty more where that came from.

“I would love to see an episode where Kasie is basically, like, trying so hard to [have] this new persona that she’s like Jim Carrey in Yes, Man, where she decides that she’s only gonna be an open book and only tell everybody everything that’s going on for the day and see what happens,” Reasonover exclusively told Us in April 2026 after fans learned about Kasie’s college girlfriend and her romantic past after years of being quiet about it.

Patrick Keleher

Keleher made his NCIS debut during season 23 as McGee’s (Murray) son. During the season finale, he was confronted by Torres (Valderrama) about why he was sneaking around the NCIS servers, but instead of answering he pulled out a gun and told Torres to back off.

Based on the cliffhanger — and showrunner Binder’s tease about no one being dead — viewers should expect Keleher to reprise the role in at least one episode next season.

Michael Weatherly

After exiting the series in 2016, Weatherly is reprising his role as Anthony “Tony” DiNozzo for season 24. The network announced in July 2026 that Weatherly will have a “season-long” arc and be involved in a case that lasts throughout the 2026-2027 season. “I’ll see you in the fall,” Weatherly said in an Instagram video, confirming his casting.

Weatherly was last seen on NCIS during the season 21 tribute to the late David McCallum, who played Dr. Donald “Ducky” Mallard on the hit series until his death in September 2023.

Mark Harmon

Mark Harmon originated the character of Leroy Jethro Gibbs on NCIS. He exited in the series during season 19 in 2022, but has continued to narrate and play adult Gibbs on NCIS: Origins.

Harmon’s return to the OG series has not been confirmed, but since his character is alive, there’s always a chance.

If you’ve ever found yourself wondering what Naked Gun humor would play like if any of the films were R-Rated, it’s pretty much exactly what you’d expect. Wordplay and visual gags dominate both the dialogue and the background, but there’s a whole lot more cursing and the occasional bare bottom for good measure. If you want to see this kind of humor in practice, your best bet is 2001’s Camouflage, starring none other than the Prince of Puns himself, Leslie Nielsen. Nielsen does what he does best in Camouflage, saying and doing the most off-the-wall things with a completely straight face while operating as an authority figure, even though there are thousands of men better suited for the job.

You’ll recognize all the familiar neo-noir crime comedy beats in Camouflage, which critics always seem to hate. 1993’s Fatal Instinct, one of my favorite films in the subgenre, currently boasts a 14 percent critical score on Rotten Tomatoes. Similarly, Camouflage doesn’t even have a critical score, and isn’t faring much better with audiences, sitting at a 17 percent approval rating.

While I’ll be the first to admit that Camouflage doesn’t hold a candle to classics like Airplane! or The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!, I’d say it certainly competes with the 2025 Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson-led reboot in the sense that all the mechanics for a great comedy are there. It’s simply more of the same without really offering anything new to the formula.

Still, it’s Leslie Nielsen reliably being Leslie Nielsen, so if you’re a fan of his work in this wheelhouse, you really can’t go wrong with Camouflage.

Drunk On Power, And Pepsi? 

In Camouflage, Marty Mackenzie (Lochlyn Munro) is technically the main character, but his burning desire to become a detective leads him straight to Jack Porter (Leslie Nielsen). Marty is a struggling (read: failed) actor, and when his detective-themed play is killed by critics before it even has a chance at a proper premiere, he decides he needs to play the field in order to improve it. He tracks down Jack Porter, a hard-boiled private eye whose ulcers are so bad that he’s switched to swigging Pepsi from his flask.

The problem is that Jack is on the verge of retirement and has grown cynical because most of his cases involve spying on unfaithful partners and ruining marriages by documenting their infidelity. Marty convinces Jack to let him handle an infidelity case, which leads him to Beaver Ridge, Oregon, where he stumbles across the kind of crime any real detective would want to sink his teeth into: a murder plot.

Basically, Marty is trying to get pictures of an unfaithful partner bumping uglies outside a construction site when he witnesses an explosion meant to take out its owner, Lionel Pond (Tom Aldredge), a seemingly wealthy real estate tycoon who’s secretly on the verge of bankruptcy according to his banker, Horace Tutt, Junior (Patrick Warburton). Complicating matters is Sheriff Alton Owens (William Forsythe), who doesn’t take kindly to the presence of either detective and always seems to show up at active crime scenes during the most incriminating possible times.

The woman closest to the case, Cindy Davies (Vanessa Angel), becomes romantically involved with Marty, and her insight into the investigation sends him on a wild goose chase that raises more questions than answers. Don’t worry, though, because this results in Marty nearly succumbing to cannibalism, but only after destroying Jack’s Chevelle and before destroying his surveillance van.

The Humor Is Reliable, But Not Top Form

Camouflage is disappointing because for every home run of a joke, there are several that swing and miss. Classic bangers like, “Don’t call me a softy. The Viagra fixed that,” are predictable but comfortable, but I was never able to fully understand why Jack Porter insisted on calling everybody a pecker. It’s funny on its own when used in passing once or twice, but he says it often enough to make me think writers Billy Bob Thornton, Tom Epperson, and Karl Schanzer believed they had an epic catchphrase on their hands.

Lochlyn Munro, whose brand of comedy I can only really take in small doses, plays off Nielsen like the two went way back before working together on this film, and the mix of his naivety and Nielsen’s cynicism is what really sells Camouflage. It’s a comedy of errors that’s heavy on slapstick, and some of the best moments happen when something blows up in the background, only for Marty to look completely dumbfounded even though he’s experiencing the exact kind of danger he wanted to experience in the first place.

Camouflage is a lower-brow, R-Rated version of the Naked Gun films that inspired it, and while it’s certainly a diamond in the rough, it’s far from Leslie Nielsen’s finest hour. If you’re a fan of his work and this kind of humor specifically, you’ll have a great time watching it. If you’re hoping it’s going to reinvent the wheel and change how you think about comedy forever, then you don’t know dick about being a dick!

As of this writing, Camouflage is streaming free on Tubi.

Nara Smith recently took to her Instagram Stories to reveal that her two-year-old daughter, Whimsy Lou, has cancer. The 24-year-old influencer said that she and her 28-year-old husband, Lucky Blue Smith, learned that Whimsey had the illness last year.

Nara Smith Reveals Whimsy Lou Has Cancer

Smith became a household name from her TikTok videos, where she cooks meals from scratch. Smith shared the heavy news with her fans on Wednesday, July 1, posting a video on her Instagram and other social media pages.

“There’s no easy way to say this or to talk about any of this,” she began. “But late last year, our daughter Whimsy was diagnosed with cancer.”

Nara added that after going to her daughter’s pediatrician, she instinctively knew Whimsy’s illness was cancer before the doctor told her.

“When we saw something suspicious on her, we took her to the ER and they didn’t quite know what to make of it. When we took her into our pediatrician, I just remember him going really quiet and calm … My heart dropped in that moment. I don’t know whether it was my gut telling me something or just a mom’s intuition, but the first thing that I felt was she has cancer.”

The mother of four added that Whimsy immediately began chemotherapy treatments. She explained that the diagnosis and caretaking for her family are why she’s been posting less on social media. It’s unclear what Whimsy’s current health status is.

Fans React By Showing Nara Support In TSR’s Comment Section

@terrionesimpson replied, “God PLEASSSSEEE wrap your arms around her baby. Im praying for covering and for her to hear CANCER FREE!!! In Jesus NAME‼️‼️‼️”

User @gemini_1824 expressed a sentiment felt by many. “2yrs old and cancer shouldn’t be in the same sentence. 🙏🏾.”

@therealjaneta shared a sad reality. “This just shows that now matter how healthy you are cancer can get anyone. It’s very sad and I wouldn’t wish it on my worse enemy. Praying her daughter gets into remission and eventually is cured ❤️🔥.”

@sariyahluvsart noted, “Damn that’s crazy and they whole family eats organic too.”

Nara & Her Husband Share Four Children

Smith and her model husband share four children — daughters Whimsy, five-year-old Rumble Honey, and infant, Fawnie Golden, as well as a 4-year-old son Slim Easy. Lucky Smith also shares daughter Gravity with ex-Stormi Bree.
