Every once in a while, I stumble upon a horror thriller that has all the mechanics of a great movie but is just a little too on the nose. 2023’s You’re Killing Me falls into this wheelhouse, making it a perfect primer for somebody who doesn’t watch a ton of thrillers but wants to familiarize themselves with all the tried-and-true beats. The acting is melodramatic, every single person is a caricature, and there’s never a moment in the film where you’ll find yourself confused about who the good guy or bad guy is.

On paper, You’re Killing Me doesn’t sound like a fun watch, but it’s the perfect crash course for a casual viewer looking for something a little more straightforward and a lot less cerebral than some of its contemporaries.

Daddy’s Baddy Patching Up A Boo Boo

You’re Killing Me starts with a house party and ends in a disaster you see coming from a mile away. Here’s what happens.

Eden (McKaley Miller) drags her friend Zara (Keyara Milliner) to a house party hosted by Barrett Schroder (Brice Anthony Heller). Barrett is the spoiled rotten son of Congressman Schroder (Dermot Mulroney), and he’s pulling out all the stops while his parents are out of town. Though Eden qualifies for a scholarship at Pembroke University, she’s been waitlisted and hopes Barrett can use his father’s influence to get her bumped up the list.

Since the party is at a prominent public figure’s house, Barrett’s friend Kendra (Morgana Van Peebles) collects everybody’s cell phones upon entry. How convenient!

At the party, Barrett is a total jerk, but he warms up to Eden, who refuses to take no for an answer. Meanwhile, Zara gets overserved by Barrett’s best friend Gooch (Wil Deusner), the kind of kid who seems like he regularly overserves guests at parties like these. Later in the evening, Gooch stumbles upon a sleeping Zara and starts taking selfies next to her for social media clout or something, but he gets startled and drops his phone when Eden walks in on him.

As luck would have it, Eden sees a video of Barrett, Kendra, and Gooch harassing a girl named Melissa, who recently went missing. Unable to finish the video before the battery dies, Eden reasonably assumes they had something to do with her disappearance and possible death. When Gooch realizes what happened, he fetches Barrett and Kendra, who quickly shut down the party and send everybody home, knowing that Eden and an unconscious Zara are locked in one of the bedrooms upstairs.

The rest of the film goes about how you’d expect. Eden and Zara have access to a video that could expose what Barrett and his friends may or may not have done to Melissa, and Barrett will stop at nothing to break the door down and destroy the evidence. With daddy’s reputation on the line, he’s willing to kill and fully aware that his family will cover it up if things go too far.

Everything Is Done Well Here, But…

When assessing movies like You’re Killing Me, I always try to think about the target audience. I watch more thrillers than anybody I know, so this really didn’t do much for me. I mentioned at the top of this piece that the acting is melodramatic, but I think that’s exactly what directors Beth Hanna and Jerren Lauder were going for. In other words, yes, some of the performances are unapologetically over-the-top, but I honestly couldn’t see this story playing out any other way. Everybody is reliably doing what they’re supposed to be doing, so I can’t really fault them for that.

As for the good guy/bad guy dynamic, this is where You’re Killing Me is at its most egregious. I totally get that the whole “affluent kid can get away with murder if he wants to” angle makes for a compelling story, but it’s beaten over our heads. Everybody is unbelievably evil here. If you’re looking for a real-life comparison, I’d tell you that the Schroder family dynamic mirrors many of the reports you’ve probably heard about Alex Murdaugh and his family, who have been the subject of countless documentaries and true crime podcasts at this point.

I believe people like this exist because we hear stories about them in the news all the time, but translated into fiction, the social criticism loses some of its impact because everybody is so cartoonishly awful. The film never truly examines the systemic issues that allow people like this to operate in the first place, so it always feels like it’s saying, “Yeah it’s like that sometimes, deal with it.” 

Then again, this is a breezy thriller, and it’s never not escalating. I was personally underwhelmed by You’re Killing Me, a title that’s worked into the dialogue by its primary antagonist enough times to make you say, “Really?” But if you’re looking for a straight-up hostage situation where the worst kind of people do something horrible and try to get away with it, it’s structurally solid enough to serve as a valid entry point to the genre.

YOU’RE KILLING ME SCORE

As of this writing, you can stream You’re Killing Me on Netflix.

For most of its run, NCIS has preferred stability, with characters coming and going, but the Major Case Response Team’s structure has rarely changed. There was always a clear hierarchy, familiar faces in the bullpen, and Leon Vance overseeing everything. Season 24 may be about to break that pattern.

Wilmer Valderrama recently teased “major changes” and “major additions” coming to the long-running procedural. On the surface, that sounds like business as usual because NCIS has weathered cast departures before. But with Vance gone and several unanswered questions lingering from the Season 23 finale, the upcoming season appears poised to do something bigger than simply replacing missing pieces. For the first time in years, the series may have multiple roles to fill at once — and that could fundamentally alter how MCRT operates.

Leon Vance’s Death Leaves A Vacancy Unlike Any Other

Over the years, NCIS has become accustomed to saying goodbye to agents, but directors are another matter entirely. Rocky Carroll’s Vance spent nearly two decades serving as the bridge between field work and the politics surrounding the agency. While characters like Gibbs (Mark Harmon), Parker (Gary Cole), McGee (Sean Murray), and Torres (Valderrama) handled cases, Vance occupied a position few other characters could. He was one of the show’s constants.

Replacing a field agent is relatively straightforward, whereas replacing a character who has anchored the series since Season 5 is considerably more complicated. Whoever eventually steps into that position will inherit one of the most important jobs in the franchise, and that assumes NCIS even wants another Vance.

There is no doubt from Season 23 that Gabriel LaRoche (Seamus Dever) has his own interests, and there is no evidence that he is the steady hand the MCRT needs for overall direction in the future, given his political manipulations. In fact, it seems there could be a power struggle for control in Season 24 before the dust settles.

Valderrama’s comments about “major changes” and “major additions” stand out because NCIS typically favors one-for-one substitutions. When Gibbs left, Parker took over; when Abby (Pauley Perrette) departed, Kasie (Diona Reasonover) stepped into the lab. Even Jessica Knight’s (Katrina Law) arrival maintained the familiar rhythm the series had relied on for years.

Vance’s death leaves one vacancy; the fallout from the Torres and Mateo (Patrick Keleher) cliffhanger could create another. Meanwhile, Valderrama’s suggestion that multiple additions are on the way raises the possibility that CBS isn’t simply looking to expand the ensemble, which isn’t something NCIS has done often. For much of the Parker era, MCRT has operated with a leader, three field agents, Jimmy Palmer (Brian Dietzen), and Kasie, which has worked well and is precisely why any attempt to alter it would represent one of the biggest changes the show has made in years.

Murray recently reflected on the show’s history of adapting to different casts and praised Cole’s arrival as an opportunity that gave the series “real stuff to work” with. His comments serve as a reminder that change has often helped NCIS rather than hurt it.

Season 24’s Biggest Question May Be Who Joins MCRT Next

Image via CBS

At this stage, the identities of those presumed additions remain a mystery. The more interesting question, however, is what kind of characters the series actually needs. A new director seems inevitable; beyond that, however, NCIS could benefit from another field agent, which would give the team more flexibility than its traditional structure allows. It could also introduce someone from outside the agency, creating friction with Parker and forcing the team to adapt to a different leadership style.

Executive producer Steven D. Binder has been careful not to rely too heavily on Gibbs, treating the character almost as a larger-than-life figure rather than someone who can simply return and restore the old days. Meanwhile, Murray’s memories of Harmon’s gradual exit and Parker’s arrival highlight just how much the series has already evolved.

Whatever route the series takes, the decision will reveal a lot about where NCIS sees itself after more than 500 episodes. For years, the show has focused on preserving what worked, and Season 24 may finally ask a different question.

Life after divorce appeared to take an emotional turn for Jason Biggs and Jenny Mollen during a recent family outing in New York City.

Weeks after news of their split became public, the former couple reunited with their children for dinner.

Later that evening, Biggs drew attention when he appeared visibly uncomfortable, prompting concern as Mollen stepped in to support him.

The former couple was photographed together for the first time since their separation became public knowledge.

Despite ending their marriage, Biggs and Mollen appeared determined to maintain a united front while spending time with their sons, Sid and Lazlo.

According to Page Six, the outing took place at a New York City restaurant, where the family was seen sharing a meal together.

Observers noted that the atmosphere initially appeared relaxed, reflecting reports that the pair remain committed to co-parenting and preserving a healthy relationship for their children.

News of their breakup surprised many fans when it emerged in May. After 18 years of marriage, the pair decided to go their separate ways, though representatives emphasized that the separation was amicable.

At the time, their representative told Page Six that both remained devoted to raising their children together and navigating the next chapter of their lives respectfully.

Jason Biggs Appears Unwell During Family Dinner

The evening took an unexpected turn when Biggs reportedly began experiencing discomfort while dining.

According to eyewitnesses, the actor started suffering from indigestion during the meal. Restaurant staff reportedly brought him water in an effort to ease the symptoms, but the situation appeared to worsen as the evening continued.

Photos captured Biggs leaving the restaurant while holding his chest and keeping his head lowered. At one point, he reportedly stopped and leaned against a nearby wooden structure.

Witnesses described him appearing distressed as he paused to recover. Images showed him raising his hands above his head in what looked like a prayer position while trying to regain his composure.

Throughout the ordeal, Mollen remained by his side, offering support and comfort as they walked together.

The images quickly drew attention online, not only because of Biggs’ apparent discomfort but also because they marked the former couple’s first public appearance together since announcing their split.

Weight Loss And Personal Changes Reshaped Jason Biggs’ Life

In the weeks following news of the separation, reports emerged suggesting that Biggs had undergone significant personal changes in recent years.

Sources claimed the actor embraced a healthier lifestyle, focusing on sobriety and overall wellness. According to those close to him, those changes altered several aspects of his life.

“And Jason’s the first to admit he’s a changed person these days, having shed a lot of weight and being proudly sober,” a source told Star Magazine. “He wants to eliminate any source of stress from his life, and it just wasn’t going to work for him, sticking in a marriage that had lost its spark.”

Another insider suggested that Biggs’ physical transformation may have also affected his confidence.

“Jason definitely has changed since his weight loss transformation. He lost a lot of weight and it definitely helped boost his ego,” the source told the Daily Mail.

The insider further explained that the weight loss was not necessarily expected to become so dramatic.

“I don’t think he was wanting to lose that much weight but it happened and he’s proud of the results like any one who lost 40 pounds or more would be,” they noted.

While neither Biggs nor Mollen publicly connected these changes to the end of their marriage, insiders suggested that the couple gradually evolved in different directions over time.

A Marriage That Slowly Reached A Crossroads

Jason Biggs and Jenny Mollen first crossed paths while working on the 2008 romantic comedy “My Best Friend’s Girl.”

Their relationship progressed quickly. They became engaged in January 2008 and exchanged vows just a few months later in April.

Over the years, they became known for their candid discussions about marriage, parenting, and family life. Their relationship often played out publicly through interviews, social media posts, and Mollen’s writing.

Despite their strong bond, sources suggested that time ultimately changed the dynamic between them.

According to those familiar with the situation, there was no major scandal or dramatic fallout behind the breakup. Instead, the pair reportedly reached a point where remaining married no longer felt right for either of them.

Mollen reportedly understood the decision and believed moving forward separately was ultimately best for both parties.

Friendship Remains At The Center Of Their Future

Although their romantic relationship has ended, both appear committed to preserving the friendship they built over nearly two decades together.

Those close to the former couple insist there is little animosity between them. In fact, their recent outing seemed to reinforce claims that they remain deeply connected despite no longer being husband and wife.

An insider told PEOPLE, “They are very much connected. I have no doubt that they will remain on excellent terms.”

That commitment reportedly extends beyond parenting. Sources say both are determined to avoid unnecessary conflict and continue supporting one another whenever possible.

According to the source who spoke with Star Magazine, the “last thing either of them wants is to wind up bickering over money or not remain friends. There’s too much mutual respect for that to happen.”

Judging by their latest public appearance, that promise appears to be holding true. Even in a difficult moment, Mollen remained at Biggs’ side, offering reassurance as he dealt with a health scare, proving that while their marriage may be over, their connection is far from gone.

The 90s were an interesting decade for Sylvester Stallone. Between Rocky V  and Stop Or My Mom Will Shoot, Stallone made a brief appearance as himself in HBO’s groundbreaking comedy series, Dream On. For years, the series was kept off streaming due to a web of licensing issues, but now it’s available on The Roku Channel. Stallone is part of the double-sized Season 2 premiere, “The Second Greatest Story Ever Told,” and well, it’s a little strange seeing a star as big as he is pop up in a sitcom cameo. 

Sylvester Stallone Plays Sylvester Stallone

Dream On fell through the cracks. The 1990 comedy series ran for six seasons on HBO, notable for being one of the network’s first original comedies, and also its copious use of swearing and nudity. It was also created by Marta Kaufmann and David Crane, the creators of Friends. That could help explain why HBO decided to roll out the red carpet for the star-studded Season 2 premiere episode. 

Sylvester Stallone appears briefly on a talk show discussing how he’s part of a movie about the life of Dr. Richard Stone, the most interesting man in the world. Dr. Stone is the new husband of Judith (Wendie Malick), the ex-wife of Dream On’s hero, Martin Tupper (Brian Benben), and also the fifth Beatle, astronaut, brain surgeon, best-selling author, and consultant to the Pope. Stallone isn’t playing Richard in the film: he’s playing Martin.

Dream On Redefined Sitcoms For The 90s

If the plot of the two-part episode sounds familiar, it’s because Dream On relishes every single Hollywood trope, but because you saw How I Met Your Mother. “The Wedding Bride” also has a movie being made about the main character’s ex, in this case, Ted’s failed wedding to Stella, which makes him look like a complete idiot. In that show, Ted’s played by Chris Kattan, so at least Martin can take some solace in that he’s played by Stallone. 

“The Second Greatest Story Ever Told” got a lot of mileage out of bringing Martin and his ex Judith to a working movie shoot, complete with even more celebrity cameos of the early 90s, most notably Robin Leech, the host of Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous. There’s a running joke about the director, Sir Roland, hating every single person on the set, including the gaffer. It’s a great episode, but it also maintains the standard Dream On formula that you’ll either love or hate. 

Dream On’s opening credits explain that Martin was raised in front of the television, which means as an adult, he’s constantly going back to old black and white movie and television footage to process his emotions. The constant use of old clips is what kept the series off streaming for as long as it was, and in the span of a single conversation, there could be half a dozen quick cutaways. It’s Family Guy humor. 

After waiting for decades, Dream On is available to stream on The Roku Channel. Uncut, uncensored, and with a random, awkward Sylvester Stallone cameo included.

Then the week of June 15th through the 19th, Ethan makes a decision. And Tracy watches Chase like a hawk. She’s convinced that he is being unfaithful with Willow. We’ll find out more about the high-profile arrest that Chase makes.

We could see Willow and Chase get closer and Brook Lynn getting more upset. Nina warned Willow not to give Chase that job. But if he decides he wants it, I’m sure Willow would go for it.

We’ll see what’s next for Joss and if Liesl is fighting back or has to give in and do what Sidwell and Cullum want. And we’re going see how Cassius handles seeing Liesl held hostage. Hopefully, we get an update on Rocco and Britt.

Sonny and Brook Lynn soon take action and Danny and Charlotte may be in trouble from their newest stunt.

“Wicked” co-stars Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater are reportedly no longer together. Although they were together for nearly three years, they reportedly split amicably a few months ago and plan to remain friends. As for the “we can’t be friends” singer, she is reportedly “doing great” and focused on her Eternal Sunshine tour and new album, Petal, which will be released on July 31.

Even though the “Wicked” costars have called it quits, they are reportedly still supportive of each other and plan to remain friends.

“It’s amicable, they gave lots of time and careful consideration and decided to go their separate ways,” an insider told PEOPLE magazine on Monday. “They are still friends and very supportive of one another. They have been quietly broken up for several months.”

The source went on to say that the “the boy is mine” singer is “doing great” and is focused on her career following the split. Her Eternal Sunshine tour kicked off on June 6, with tour dates in L.A. this weekend. She is also focused on her album, Petal, which will be released on July 31.

Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater Met On The Set Of ‘Wicked’

Fans might remember that the former couple met on the set of “Wicked.” The first film was released on November 22, 2024, with the second following on November 21, 2025. Grande played Glinda, the good witch, while Slater played Boq.

Rumors that they were romantically involved began in July 2023, but they didn’t make their relationship Instagram official until November 2024. They appeared at many promotional events for “Wicked” while the two films were being released.

In a 2024 interview with Entertainment Tonight, the “Side to Side” singer had nothing but praise for Slater’s work, calling him “such an amazing person.”

“He’s always adorable, and he’s so amazing in this film — he’s such an amazing person,” she said at the time. “I’m so happy people are getting to know him. My heart is very happy.”

The Former Couple Have Supported Each Other’s Careers

In November 2025, Slater said that Grande’s performance was “out of this world” in a new interview with Extra at the New York City premiere of “Wicked: For Good.”

In March 2026, Grande had nothing but good things to say about the final performance of Slater’s off-Broadway play “Marcel on the Train,” which he co-wrote and starred in.

“Congratulations on a beautiful run of this very beautiful show,” Grande wrote on her Instagram Stories on March 22, as reported by PEOPLE. She went on to say that she was “so very proud.”

Ariana Grande Released A New Single In May 2026

In May 2026, Grande gave fans a taste of her new album with her vulnerable new single, “Hate That I Made You Love Me.” In the new track, Grande sings:

“I’ve held your projections when you’ve felt so insecure / Tell me, why is it this way? / Why you so hate to see women endure? / Is it really my fault you all gave me your hearts of your own accord? / I don’t really think so.”

The singer first announced her new album back in April. At the time, she said that Petal represents “something that is full of life and growing through the cracks of something cold and hard and challenging.”

Ariana Grande Is Continuing Her Acting Career

The “Thank U, Next” singer has a busy schedule ahead of her. The Eternal Sunshine Tour kicked off on June 6 at the Oakland Arena in Oakland, California. It will continue through Tuesday, September 1, and will wrap up at the 02 Arena in London.

However, she is not leaving her acting career behind. She is set to star in the upcoming comedy film “Focker-in-Law” and also has a role in the next season of “American Horror Story.” She will also lend her voice to the animated film adaptation of the popular Dr. Seuss book, “Oh, the Places You’ll Go!”

In addition, she will also reunite with her “Wicked” co-star Jonathan Bailey in next year’s West End production of “Sunday in the Park with George.”

“Mad Max” is its own genre, and if video stores still existed, I would contact them every day until they built out a shelf that accommodates this indisputable fact. Dead End Drive-In (1986), Wheels of Fire (1985), Waterworld (1995), and The Rover (2014) all take different pages from the same playbook, and for my money, there’s nothing better than a good old-fashioned war set in the wasteland.

The Mad Max setup works exceptionally well, and can thrive on a tight budget if practical effects are applied with care and the editing does all the heavy lifting. 1986’s Future Hunters is one such movie. It is clearly rough around the edges, but it’s put together so well that you’re willing to strap in and see where it takes you.

Make sure you’ve got some extra ratchet straps on hand, because it’s going to be a bumpy ride.

To Save The Future, You Must Find The Shaft Of Destiny!

Future Hunters kicks off in the year 2025, in a post-nuclear dystopian society. At its center is Matthew (Richard Norton), the obvious stand-in for Max Rockatansky. After a run-in with the future’s warlord, Zaar (David Light), and his marauders, Matthew unearths the Spear of Destiny from a temple and is whisked back to 1986, when there’s still enough time to keep the world from collapsing. In this timeline, he meets an anthropologist named Michelle (Linda Carol) and her boyfriend Slade (Robert Patrick), who suddenly have the weight of the world on their shoulders.

With his last dying breath, a fatally wounded Matthew tells Michelle and Slade to find the spear’s missing shaft, which will complete the artifact and allow it to be used against the evil forces that be. If I tell you what happens next in Future Hunters, you wouldn’t believe me, and I don’t want to spoil this one for you. So instead, I’m just going to give you a sizzle reel of what makes this movie so great.

Michelle and Slade travel the world, leaving no stone unturned in their quest for the Shaft of Destiny. They really don’t have much to work with, but they’re whisked away to Philippine jungles and get into fights with Nazis, Mongol warriors, and dwarves. When you think they’ve had enough, they’re abducted by Amazon women and find themselves constantly at odds with Zaar, who is also looking to complete the artifact, and Bauer, the head of a Nazi expedition who happens to be searching for the shaft so it can be reunited with the Spear of Destiny.

Along the way, there’s no shortage of biker gangs and seasoned martial artists who make every step of this journey feel like an insurmountable obstacle. I don’t even want to know what the body count is here, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it neared the triple digits.

Too Many Bad Guys To Count

While I admit that Future Hunters has too many antagonists to reasonably measure with human words alone, this movie is never not fun. What it may be lacking in fight choreography, it more than makes up for with Gervacio Santos’ editing. Every frame feels deliberate, as if Santos already had a firm grasp on the technical side of cutting together a high-octane action thriller, but there’s an artistry to it, too, that cannot be overstated.

We’re not working with a lot here, but every detonation feels earned, and whenever you think the camera is going to take a break and soak in the scenery, it’s already shock-cutting to another montage of shell casings flying and bodies dropping.

It’s seriously a beautiful thing to see play out on screen. By all measures, Future Hunters is a B-movie that was likely produced for less than a million dollars. Robert Patrick commands every scene he’s in, whether he’s the badass hero of the coming wasteland or so far in over his head that he doesn’t know how to handle himself. He toes that line perfectly, and the balance is never compromised, no matter how ridiculous things get.

If you’re a fan of all things Mad Max, this is one of those imitations that strays so far from the source material that probably inspired it that it becomes a sample size of one. I’d bet you anything that if George Miller saw this one, he’d feel like his legacy was not undermined by the film, but enhanced by it.

Future Hunters takes an already over-the-top setup and pushes the envelope so far that you can’t help but admire it. It’s truly one of a kind, and deserves your attention the next time you want to trudge through the wasteland but crave a flavor that’s more wild than anything you’ve seen in this wheelhouse before.

As of this writing, you can stream Future Hunters for free on Tubi.

Steffy wants answers from Katie. She may suspect Hope is lying about her leave. And Steffy sniffing around at Logan would be bad for Hope.

Bold and the Beautiful: June 15th-19th – Collections Launch and Confrontations

Then June 15th through the 19th, Steffy may get closer to figuring out Hope’s at Logan. Looks like there’s fast progress towards the Hope Logan collection launch. And Remy may convince Deke for another chance.

R.J. and Dylan spend time together. And Brooke and Katie’s rivalry worsens. Plus, Bill may target Brooke for slapping Katie. Donna Logan (Jennifer Gareis) worries the Logans are being destroyed.
