Toosii Opens Up About His Mental Health As He Embarks On A New Journey
After leaving the Syracuse University football team, Toosii has been transitioning into a new chapter as a student at LSU. The switch sparked a lot of mixed buzz online. Despite the noise, he has continued sharing footage of his football training as he adjusts to his new environment.
He took to his Instagram Story to share the emotional toll the journey has taken on him behind the scenes, noting that it hasn’t been easy and emphasizing his faith and personal growth.
“I wanna be transparent along this journey since I feel like so many of you are along with me on this journey. It’s been taking a toll on me mentally. Not because of the criticism but because behind closed doors things haven’t went the way I may have planned although, that’s just life. You ever wanted something so bad you’d do almost anything for it? That’s how this journey has been. This journey has been a true test of faith. God has great plans and through him all is possible so I have no worries. I will say though forgive and give me grace for my mistakes as I become a better person all around. God bless everyone who supports or even hates this dream of mine. It all is used as motivation.”

In the footage, his mattress was on the floor with no sheets.

‘The Pitt’ Just Showed Us a Completely Different Side of the ER’s Most Polarizing Doctor in 2 Minutes
Editor’s note: The below contains spoilers for The Pitt Season 2 Episode 7 and mentions sexual abuse and self-harm.
Trinity Santos (Isa Briones) contains enough layers to rival the world’s largest onion. Her rocky first impression — blunt, arrogant, rushing into grisly procedures — contrasts with her strengths, which The Pitt dispenses over time: superb intuition, an eagle eye for valuable details, and staying level-headed during a crisis. It’s ironic that her abrasive demeanor divides The Pitt‘s viewers, since Santos wields that half-hostile, half-cavalier exterior as a shield. Season 1’s finale draws her painfully sensitive interior and innate tenderness into the open; by embracing the terrifying vulnerability she’s been habitually avoiding, Santos summons enough courage to open her home to Dennis Whitaker (Gerran Howell) and bare her heart to patient Max Wilcox (Aidan Laprete).
Circa Season 2, Santos remains her fluent-in-sarcasm self but boasts a smoother beside manner, a situationship of sorts with Dr. Yolanda Garcia (Alexandra Metz), and stable footing with her colleagues. That security vanishes thanks to an unrelentingly hellish day. As Santos nears her wits’ end in Episode 7, she stumbles into a touching stolen moment with a patient who, on paper, seems like the unlikeliest candidate to receive or provide comfort. The stolen moment spotlights her exemplary caretaker nature and reveals more wrenching context about why this woman moves through the world with wary, aching weariness.
‘The Pitt’ Season 2 Is Pushing Santos to Her Breaking Point
The Pitt‘s entire ensemble has positive qualities and flaws. Perfect heroes and evil villains need not apply, only messy humans who internalize their patients’ pain alongside their personal trauma. Trinity Santos, as tightly wound as a snapping rubber band on her best day, hasn’t exactly handled Season 2 with grace. Dr. Baran Al-Hashimi (Sepideh Moafi) isn’t privy to the fact Santos carries the humiliating bruises Dr. Frank Langdon (Patrick Ball) left, but it’s natural to assume a doctor in the trenches of her R2 year is overworked and overwhelmed. Even if Al-Hashimi’s motivations are well-meant, it’s unfair for Santos’ new superior to single her out with an unnecessary ultimatum.
Santos holds enough duality to sway between confidence and insecurity. Spiraling under pressure, it’s clearer than ever that her darkest enemies include perfectionism, self-hatred, and an acute fear of failure. Her private fears have been exposed under a microscope, and she can’t articulate this turmoil or channel it into an outlet. Her raw trauma responses keep her alive, but lashing out with incandescent fury is a habit to unlearn for the sake of her patients, her long-term health, and her loneliness — because, despite appearances, Santos longs for genuine connection. When she dares to cautiously reach out, she’s rebuffed back into an isolation born of her own making and people not bothering to look past her hidden daggers. She seems surprised when Dr. Robby (Noah Wyle) reciprocates her concerns about Whitaker, but once she receives his empathetic ear, Santos abandons her normal pretenses.
‘The Pitt’s Shawn Hatosy Explains How Abbot’s “Unexpected” Arrival Shakes Up This Season
Hatosy and co-star Sepideh Moafi also discuss Al-Hashimi’s clash with Robby and the Season 1 moment that did Abbot dirty.
Even when she’s stretched too thin, Santos profoundly cares about the people for whom she’s responsible. When she suspects a father (Patrick Mulvey) of molesting his 9-year-old daughter, Kylie (Annabelle Toomey), an automatic switch activates the sheer range of her care: attentive, protective, impulsive, and ferocious enough to fight tooth-and-nail for Kylie’s wellfare, the consequences be damned. Given the anguishing implication that powerful men have violated more than Santos’ trust, Kylie spears her to the quick. Once Mel diagnoses Phylicia Ronson (Nyaling Marenah) with bulimia, Santos drops her dismissive impatience and offers compassionate support. Conversely, her frustration over her communication barriers with Harlow Graham (Jessica ‘Limer’ Flores), a symptom of the wider infrastructure’s inadequate disability accommodations, could never justify Santos’ dehumanizing treatment of Harlow. Combine her urgent profession with personal stressors, and the collision affects certain patients to the point of near-negligence.
Santos Singing to Baby Jane Doe in ‘The Pitt’ Season 2 Episode 7 Reinforces Her Kindness
As for the mysterious abandoned baby, she couldn’t care less. To be fair, while the nurses can ignore ear-piercing wailing, it’s one strain too many for Santos’ overstimulated nerves. Forced to problem-solve, her unconventional gamble works as well as her spontaneous emergency hunches. The Pitt‘s expert in soft-hearted cynicism didn’t have this on her bingo card — soothing an infant with the Hiligaynon lullaby, “Ili-Ili, Tulog Anay.” When Baby Jane Doe seeks reassurance, her innocent hand latching onto Santos’ finger, a begrudgingly charmed Trinity drops her walls without resistance. She has nothing to hide from a newborn. For once, she can rest, focus, and just be herself — a caretaker remembering her purpose.
Santos’ serenade expands her innate softness onto a defenseless human. What’s more, the pair briefly relieving each other’s distress occurs when Santos most needs an anchor. Her innocuous deflection about therapy earlier in the season feels harrowing after glimpsing her self-harm scars. She’s a survivor with bared teeth and a fierce heart, but rather than soldier forward in unnoticed silence, she deserves safety, healing, and steadying mentors whose positive reinforcement and corrective accountability will empower her into a truly magnificent doctor.

Jennifer Garner is reflecting on her co-parenting relationship with Ben Affleck and the complexities that come with raising children after a divorce.
The “13 Going On 30” actress explained that she has had to play both roles as mom and dad, while also admitting that co-parenting with her ex-husband brings “a little bit of loss.”
Jennifer Garner previously opened up about how “hard” her split from Ben Affleck was, noting that the transition was particularly difficult but for the help of her family.

Jennifer Garner Says Co-Parenting Made Her Become Both ‘Mom And Dad’ To Her Kids With Ben Affleck
Garner has pulled back the curtain on the bittersweet reality of raising children, Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel, with her ex-husband Affleck.
The “Elektra” actress made the candid revelation in a recent episode of Bustle’s “One Nightstand” YouTube series, where she and host Charlotte Owen discussed the book, “Anne of Green Gables,” by Lucy Maud, and dove into the relationship between siblings Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert, who adopted Anne Shirley by mistake.
Similar to the siblings, Owen asked Garner how she managed to find the balance in raising her children with intentionality and conscientiousness.

“I think that I do a bit of both,” she explained. “And I think my kids’ dad does too. Especially when your kids grow up in two separate households, I become mom and dad, and he becomes dad and mom.”
She continued, “You kind of can’t help it, right? Because you don’t have the benefit of both sides of the yin and yang being in the same house.”

The Actress Speaks On The ‘Loss’ Of Co-Parenting With Her Ex-Husband
Garner and Affleck first met on the set of “Pearl Harbor” but didn’t get involved with each other until a couple of years later. They struck up a close friendship by the summer of 2004, and got married in June the following year.
The former couple went on to welcome their three children and shared so many sweet memories until they decided to separate in 2015, before finalizing their divorce in 2018.
In an apparent bid to make up for the absence of the other partner, Garner explained that she had to “have a bit of both” upbringing qualities and appreciation “in the way” she and the “Accountant 2” actor parent.
“There’s a little bit of loss in that, but there’s also something gained in that,” she noted. “You also just learn. It’s made me let go and not focus so much on bringing up.”

Jennifer Garner Made A Rare Comment On Her ‘Hard’ Divorce From Ben Affleck
During a January interview with Marie Claire UK, Garner made a rare comment about her difficult split from Affleck.
“You have to be smart about what you can and can’t handle, and I could not handle what was out there,” she told the news outlet. “But what was out there was not what was hard. The fact of it is what was hard.”
“The actual breaking up of a family is what was hard,” Garner continued. “Losing a true partnership and friendship is what was hard.”
According to the news outlet, she explained that the transition was quite difficult, but she stayed through it, thanks in part to the support of her family and friends.

“I make a big, concerted effort to see my people as much as I can, because that’s what matters,” she shared. “That’s where your resilience is: it’s in your relationships and in the people who carry you through.”
The Actress Says She’s Able To Co-Parent With ‘Peace’
Despite their divorce, Garner and Affleck have kept their relationship cordial as they continue to co-parent their children.
The ex-couple has been seen out and about on several occasions with their children, and even sparked speculations that they were getting back together.
She has since opened up about co-parenting with Affleck with “peace” despite the difficulty of their divorce.
“I’m able to co-parent at this point in time with peace and equanimity and a partnership that I didn’t know I would ever get back to,” Garner shared with Marie Claire UK.

Jennifer Garner Says That ‘Time’ Heals Even The Pain Of Divorce
Speaking more on the matter of co-parenting with her ex-husband, Garner addressed the feeling of disdain that may arise due to a divorce, noting that some women may tell themselves they would never be friends with an ex-partner again.
However, according to the actress, “time” gives a person the opportunity to grow and heal from even a bad breakup.
She continued, “I think it’s important for women to know, when they think, ‘Oh, I’ll never see that, I’ll never have that feeling, I’ll never be friends with this person again,’ [that] time is the opportunity.”
“Time is the opportunity to heal. Time is the opportunity to forgive, to move on, and to find a new way to be friends,” Garner added.
For Rachel “Raquel” Leviss, the best days of her life may be far away from the world of reality TV.
The former Bravo star made quite the splash on Vanderpump Rules when she was a full-time cast member for seasons 9 and 10. Ultimately, Leviss chose to walk away from the show ahead of season 11 after her role in Scandoval.
Although season 11 proved to be the final season of Vanderpump Rules for the original cast, a new group of SURvers decided to share their lives with the world for season 12, which premiered in December 2025.
Through all the changes, Leviss chose to stay away from West Hollywood, California, and create a new reality for herself in Arizona.
The new Vanderpump Rules cast isn’t focused on the haters who have their doubts about the Bravo show’s reboot. “Honestly, the amount of negativity has just been overshadowed by all of the love, and it’s been so surprisingly overwhelming to feel that,” Audrey Lingle exclusively shared with Us Weekly at the Vanderpump Dog Foundation Gala […]
As Vanderpump Rules wraps its season 12 finale on February 24, 2026, Us Weekly decided to check in and see what Leviss is up to now. Keep reading to learn more about her life outside of the spotlight:
What Does Rachel Leviss Do Now?
On her Instagram page, which has more than 586,000 followers as of February 2026, Rachel Leviss proclaims to be a mental health advocate in her bio.
When it comes to work, the former reality star is a certified sound bowl practitioner who is part of wellness retreats and various workshops.
“Last night we welcomed the Lunar New Year: the year of the Fire Horse 🔥🐎,” Leviss wrote via Instagram in February 2026. “A year of bold, aligned action… while staying grounded and rooted in integrity. We set intentions to call in vibrant health, deep strength and true abundance.”
Where Does Rachel Leviss Live Now?
It appears Rachel Leviss’ sound bowl business is based out of Arizona. In August 2024, the Bravo star explained what it was like living outside of Los Angeles.
“It was almost like I had to reach this unhealthy level of toxicity in order to make a change in my life. I’m grateful that I’ve been able to step out of that,” she told Us. “I don’t think L.A. is all bad, but being in certain environments could bring out the worst in a person. So now when I go visit Santa Monica, I have new friends and there’s a common theme [such as] spirituality and not drinking. It’s a much healthier social circle that I’m in in L.A.”
Is Rachel Leviss Dating?

In October 2024, Rachel Leviss confirmed that she was in a new relationship with a “normal” person. The man’s identity was later revealed to be Jason Boucher.
In April 2025, Leviss went Instagram official with Boucher when she posted photos of them cozying up at the Stagecoach Music Festival in Indio, California.
While the couple tries to keep their relationship away from social media, Boucher posted a photo of his girlfriend in November 2025 while on vacation in Mexico.
“Every time I describe him to my friends, I say that he’s normal and I show them a photo of him. They’re, like, ‘Wow, he does look normal.’ It’s such an accomplishment,” Leviss shared on an October 2024 episode of iHeartRadio’s “Rachel Goes Rogue” podcast. “Given my dating history, normal was not necessarily something that I was looking for in somebody else. He’s just such a supportive person and I just feel really happy.”
What Happened to Rachel Leviss’ Podcast?
Initially, Rachel Leviss teamed up with executive producer Bethenny Frankel to create the “Rachel Goes Rogue” podcast. Every week, Leviss promised to explore a spectrum of topics with authenticity.
“She will passionately cultivate candid conversations, breaking the fourth wall in reality TV and frankly discussing living her entire dating life on camera,” iHeartRadio said in a press release. “Leviss will aspire to inspire, bring awareness to mental health issues and challenge the stigma surrounding treatment. Every topic is on the table with Rachel confronting her truths, exposing secrets and drawing strength from her continued transformations.”
After 65 episodes, Leviss chose to step away from the show in October 2024.
“I would like to thank my team and partnership with iHeart,” she wrote via Instagram at the time. “A special thanks to all the incredible guests who came on to share their expertise. Most importantly, I would like to thank everyone who gave the podcast a listen and hopefully had a positive experience.”
Rachel Leviss has found love with Jason Boucher. After her infamous affair with Vanderpump Rules’ Tom Sandoval in 2023 and a short-lived romance with Matthew Dunn, Levis shared in October 2024 that she was in a healthy relationship with a “normal guy.” “It’s very healthy and he’s very normal,” Leviss revealed on an episode of […]
What Does Rachel Leviss’ Friend Group Look Like?
In August 2024, Rachel Leviss acknowledged that building a new social circle as an adult can be difficult. Fortunately, she found a great group of friends through yoga.
“There’s just so much love there and it’s so easy to get along with everybody. [It’s] so drama-free and everyone has just been super welcoming,” she told Us. “This is how it should be like. It should be healthy friendships. It shouldn’t really be people tearing each other down in order to get power over one another. I feel like I was in that dynamic and that dysfunctional friend group for so long that that did feel normal to me. Now I have these new friends that have been friends for years and they have such a close connection.”

Prince William And Kate Middleton Turned Heads At The 2026 BAFTAs
William and Kate made an unexpected appearance at the 2026 BAFTAs on Sunday evening, drawing immediate attention as they stepped onto the red carpet at London’s Royal Festival Hall.
The outing marked their first joint engagement since the recent arrest of the former Duke of York, Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, placing renewed scrutiny on the royal family.
Despite the tense backdrop, Prince William appeared composed as he accompanied Princess Kate into the ceremony, even brushing off a heckler who shouted a question asking if “the monarchy was in peril.”
Observers noted that the future king seemed particularly attentive to his wife throughout the evening, adopting what experts described as a subtly protective stance.

Prince William Revealed He Was Not In A ‘Calm’ State At The Event
Despite the apparent tension in the air, body language expert James concluded that the Waleses carried themselves with poise, effectively matching and even rivaling the Hollywood elite at the BAFTAs.
During conversations inside the ceremony, William reportedly alluded to feeling less than “calm” recently, admitting he had postponed watching the emotional drama “Hamnet” due to his current state of mind.
His wife, Kate, however, revealed she had viewed the film the night before and had been moved to tears by its portrayal of grief and loss.

Prince William And Kate’s Joint 2026 BAFTA Appearance Was Their First Since 2023
Although William and Kate have long been supporters of the BAFTAs, this marked their first joint attendance since 2023.
They skipped last year’s ceremony, and William attended solo in 2024, expressing regret that Kate could not join due to her cancer diagnosis and treatment.
Their outing comes amid heightened attention following the arrest of Andrew on Thursday, February 19.
The 66-year-old was taken into custody at Wood Farm, his current residence on the Sandringham estate, after surrendering his Royal Lodge home and being stripped of his titles last fall.
Andrew is under investigation for suspected misconduct in public office, connected to his email correspondence with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. He was held by police for approximately 11 hours before being photographed leaving the station.
King Charles is the only senior royal to publicly comment on the matter, releasing a statement expressing his “deepest concern” while emphasizing that the investigation must follow “a full, fair and proper process” conducted by the appropriate authorities.

4 Years and 2 Sequels Later, Hulu’s Sci-Fi Franchise Saving Hit Returns to Streaming Charts
The sci-fi genre has grown by leaps, bounds, and subgenres over the last century. It often feels as though directors and screenwriters are constantly coming up with new universes, situations, characters, weapons, and gadgets that make the ones that came before more obsolete, with a plethora of fresh ideas always on the ready. In 1987, one of these universes was dreamt up when filmmaker Joel McTiernan paired with writing siblings Jim and John Thomas for the Arnold Schwarzenegger-led Predator. The idea of humans clashing with aliens wasn’t a new one, but the way the creative team filled out the story, molded their characters, and crafted their antagonist certainly was.
Since then, audiences have been treated to a multitude of stories within the Predator universe and have even watched the universe’s most talented hunter take on a foe worthy of its time in two Alien vs. Predator movies. Most recently, frequent franchise helmer Dan Trachtenberg took fans on a brand-new kind of journey that put the Predator (also known as Yautja) in the hot seat as an incredibly vulnerable target on a wildly dangerous planet in Predator: Badlands. After knocking it out of the park for Disney at the global box office, the Elle Fanning and Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi-fronted film has been back in headlines over the last week thanks to its monstrous takeover of Hulu.
‘Predator: Badlands’ Predecessor Is Staking Its Streaming Claim
Breaking the record previously held by its predecessor, Prey, Predator: Badlands now holds the bragging rights of being the streamer’s number one film premiere after earning nearly 9 million views during its first five days on the platform. But now, Prey is making a comeback to assert its claim, as FlixPatrol shows the title is climbing Hulu’s global Top 10. Right now, Prey is holding down the third spot on the sought-after list, clocking in just behind Carlos Saldanha’s 2011 animated flick, Rio, and Predator: Badlands. With all eyes hooked on where Trachtenberg previously took the franchise, we’d be surprised if the director’s other recent release, the adult animated and blood-filled feature, Predator: Killer of Killers, didn’t make an appearance in the upcoming days.
While Predator fans were lucky to have two movies from the franchise come out in just one year, the waiting game now starts over as we patiently hang on to hear what Trachtenberg has up his sleeves next. For now, head over to Hulu to stream both Prey and Predator: Badlands as well as Predator: Killer of Killers.

“F-ck. Not today, man,” another Redditor shared. “Revenge of the Nerds came out the year I was born, but was huge for a geeky autistic kid growing up in a world that didn’t make sense. 71 is a good run, if life leaves you, but knowing he chose to leave life. It’s just not what I’m ready to deal with today. RIP nerd.”

Martin Short knows what true love looks and feels like, all thanks to his late wife, Nancy Dolman.
For nearly 30 years, the Only Murders in the Building star was married to the Canadian actress and singer. After Dolman died in 2010 after a three-year battle with cancer, Short shared a glimpse into how his late wife changed his life forever.
“Her death emboldened me to take risks,” he told AARP in 2019. “With real tragedy, you become a little more daring. It’s the yin to the yang: the positive part of life’s dark side.”
The couple’s love story was put back in the spotlight in February 2026 when one of their children, Katherine Hartley Short, was found dead in her Hollywood Hills, California, home.
Even with all of the awards he has received working in Hollywood, Martin Short would likely say father is his greatest title. Short and his late wife, Nancy Dolman, welcomed three children via adoption before her death in August 2010 from ovarian cancer. While the actor has tried to keep his personal life away from […]
“It is with profound grief that we confirm the passing of Katherine Hartley Short,” Martin’s rep confirmed in a statement to Us Weekly at the time. “The Short family is devastated by this loss and asks for privacy at this time. Katherine was beloved by all and will be remembered for the light and joy she brought into the world.”
Keep reading to learn more about Martin and Dolman’s relationship and the family they created:
How Did Martin Short and Nancy Dolman’s Love Story Begin?
Nancy Dolman and Martin Short Kevin Winter/Getty Images
Martin Short and Nancy Dolman first met in Toronto, Canada, while working on a musical production of Godspell in 1972. (The duo were both cast members.)
After falling in love, the couple married in December 1980 and began to start a family of their own.
When Did Martin Short’s Wife Nancy Dolman Die?
In August 2010, Martin Short mourned the death of his wife, Nancy Dolman, three years after she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Dolman passed away at her home in Pacific Palisades, California. She was 58.
Although he was a nominee for his work on FX’s Damages, Short chose to skip the 2010 Emmys in the wake of his wife’s death.
What Has Martin Short Said About Grief?
In an interview with AARP in 2019, Martin Short opened up about life without his wife.
“Our marriage was a triumph. So it’s tough. She died in 2010, but I still communicate with her all the time,” he shared with the publication. “It’s ‘Hey, Nan,’ you know? How would she react to this decision or that, especially regarding our three kids. I believe that when people die, they zoom into the people that love them. This idea that it just ends, and don’t speak of them — that’s wrong. That’s based on denial that we’re all going to die. So to me, she’s still here.”
Martin Short’s daughter Katherine Hartley Short’s neighbors are “sad” over the death of the “great” resident. A next door neighbor exclusively tells Us Weekly that Katherine was a “great neighbor and gardener,” ahead of her death at age 42, which her family confirmed on Tuesday, February 24. “It’s incredibly sad,” the resident, who wishes to […]
How Many Children Did Martin Short and Nancy Dolman Have?
During their nearly 30-year marriage, Martin Short and Nancy Dolman adopted three children, including Katherine Hartley Short, Oliver Short and Henry Short.
“None of them wanted to go into show business, and I pushed them,” Martin joked of his children’s aversion to Hollywood during a 2021 appearance on Conan. “I wanted them to go into show business. I make them do laps in the morning and I go to the balcony with my coffee and say, ‘Quitter! Do it again!’
Katherine was a social worker and involved with the charity Bring Change to Mind prior to her February 2026 death. The charity aims to eliminate the ongoing stigma associated with mental health among young people.
According to LinkedIn, Oliver is an event producer while Henry serves as a veterinary assistant at a Southern California animal hospital.

Christopher Nolan has given so much to the world through film for the better part of the last 30 years. Many would argue that his most famous work is The Dark Knight trilogy, starring Christian Bale and Gary Oldman. Nolan made three all-time great comic book movies before the genre blew up into what it is today. Fans have also proclaimed Nolan one of the kings of sci-fi with his works on other massive hits like Inception and Interstellar. The former is a mind-bending thriller co-starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hardy, and the latter is an intense space epic featuring Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway. Nolan has also directed period pieces like The Prestige (Hugh Jackman), and it’s clear from one look at his filmography that there isn’t anything he can’t do.
Three years ago, Nolan released what felt like his magnum opus at the time with Oppenheimer. The WWII film is more of a drama than an action thriller, and it tells the story of J. Robert Oppenheimer, the man who invented the nuclear bomb and changed the world forever. Nolan recruited Cillian Murphy for the lead role in Oppenheimer, and he gave such a forceful performance that it was worthy of his first Academy Award. Oppenheimer also helped Robert Downey Jr. win his first Oscar, and the film also won Nolan awards for Best Picture and Best Director. Oppenheimer is not currently streaming anywhere in America at the time of writing, but the film has become one of the most popular rentals and purchases on VOD platforms like Apple TV in several countries. It’s available to rent for only a few dollars.
Christopher Nolan’s Next Movie May Be His Biggest
It looked like Christopher Nolan couldn’t top his work on Oppenheimer, but he’s poised to do just that with The Odyssey later this year. Nolan has recruited Oppenheimer veteran Matt Damon to star in the lead role of Odysseus in the film, and budding star/Spider-Man veteran Tom Holland will play his son, Telemachus. The film also features a host of other stars, including Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong’o, Charlize Theron, Zendaya, and more, and is scheduled for release on July 17. The film may just be Nolan’s first $1 billion movie since The Dark Knight Rises.
Be sure to watch Oppenheimer on VOD platforms like Prime Video and Apple TV in America and stay tuned to Collider for more streaming updates.

Evolution in reality television is natural. In fact, it’s necessary. To establish longevity in the industry, shows need to evolve to avoid staleness while maintaining their integrity. For the hit Netflix series Love Is Blind, the evolution of the reality TV genre has been on full display within its ten seasons, as it’s gone from a fascinating experiment to mindless entertainment.
The Ohio season marks Season 10 of Love Is Blind. When it began in 2020, it served as a groundbreaking series that not only shaped reality TV dating shows but also how we examine dating in the real world. The premise of the experiment was to truly test whether men and women could remove sex and attraction and find their person through emotional connection. At first, we learned it was possible. But 10 seasons later, we’ve learned the experiment is broken. Between Jessica Barrett dumping Chris Fusco because he tends to go for “pilates girls” to Priyanka Grandhi and Alex Henderson knowing each other pre-pods, it’s just not the same anymore. Love Is Blind needs a hard reset.
‘Love Is Blind’s Participants Are Missing the Point of Netflix’s Experiment
Like in any reality show, casting is key. Not only do we have to care about the characters, but they have to be engaging. For a show like Love Is Blind, finding genuine individuals who want to explore the depths of the dating experiment is crucial. Recruiting via LinkedIn to fill a gap will destroy the experiment. While each season is geographically specific, the casting appears to detract from the series’ mission.
Maybe the casting team is being snowed by the prospective Pod Squad, who claim they’re all in on the experiment, but the number of individuals who prove to be looks-only and deal-breakers ruins the optimism the show once had. In the first two episodes, it was shocking to hear Chris tell Jessica that he needed more in the bedroom and explain how her physical attraction didn’t match the women he would be into. Jessica, a beautiful woman, cut ties because Chris’ admission was a slap in the face. But Chris wasn’t alone. Other participants doubled down on their shock when meeting their match based on physical appearance. It’s a trend that is taking over more and more each season.
‘Love Is Blind’s Mission Has Been Completely Lost
Not every couple is as fixated on physical appearances, thankfully. We have some incredible characters this season, including Emma Betsinger, who felt like her scarred arm from precancerous birthmarks on her body may have hurt her with dating in the past. She revealed to Mike Gibney that, as someone who was adopted, she was unsure of having kids because she didn’t know if her health history would affect them. Mike and Emma have had strong conversations about the family matter, which makes this experiment work. But the overwhelming chatter online continues to be about how the men on Love Is Blind this season are very fixated on appearances.
‘Love Is Blind’ Season 9 Is Incredibly Cringey for Many, Many Reasons
‘Love Is Blind’ Season 9’s couples are giving very strange energy.
While we have a celebratory couple in Christine Hamilton and Vic St. John — the most promising pair to head to the altar, who had a random solo honeymoon — the focus is not on the promise, but on the drama of the other couples. The Pod Squad’s meet-up once again led to individuals who did not pair up trying to break up established couples. (At least Bri McNees shut Chris down, even after he slid into her DMs.)
Netflix’s ‘Love Is Blind’ Needs One Stellar Season ASAP
Love Is Blind has a brilliant premise, but the show that it used to be is no longer what is being presented. The individuals the casting department pick must be pre-compatible. We know hard conversations about politics, faith, and family occur, but that part of the social experiment has become second fiddle. Gone are the days of our perfect couple, Lauren Speed-Hamilton and Cameron Hamilton.
Perhaps, instead of two seasons per calendar year, the focus should be on generating one solid season where “I do” actually happens. Coming off of Season 9’s marriage-less season, our anticipation of success is waning. Season 10 is once again leaning on the drama rather than the excitement of how we, as a society, can find our person sight unseen.
