To be unfairly blunt: Betty who? According to a straw poll of the humans in my quarantine bunker, no one ages zero to mother-in-law recalls the scandalous sorrow that befell the Brodericks of La Jolla in the 1980s. So consider season 2 of Dirty John's true-crime anthology (debuting June 2 on USA) an exuberantly flawed piece of tabloid archaeology. Amanda Peet stars as the titular SoCal superwife turmoiling through a divorce nightmare.

Employees of some bookstores have to be alerted that Fifty Shades of Grey by E L James and Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys have nothing to do with each other. James’ kinky erotica novel is the biggest publishing phenomenon of 2012. Between Shades of Gray is a phenomenon in its own right, landing on several 2011 year-end best lists, and even more impressively, getting teens to read about genocide in Baltic countries at the hands of Stalin’s regime.

Star Trek: Discovery will continue the venerated sci-fi tradition of using a fantastic setting to tackle real-world issues — only in a bigger way than any Trek series has done before. The upcoming CBS All Access drama tells the serialized story of a war between the United Federation of Planets and the Klingon Empire. The show is set a decade before 1966’s original series — which premiered 51 years ago today — during which the Federation and Klingons were in a Cold War standoff that reflected yesteryear’s U.

Disney World, the most magical place on Earth, can also inspire some of the most chaotic energy from guests that get a little too high off Tinker Bell's pixie dust. Such was the case for a person at Epcot, who, in a newly surfaced TikTok video published Monday, can be seen jumping off a bridge into the park's World Showcase Lagoon. The clip shows the Disney visitor standing on a bridge within the World Showcase's Italy pavilion while an off-camera voice shouts, "

Disney Animation Studios’ long-awaited, ocean-centric Moana finally sets sail later this month, with strong early reviews guiding the film along what critics are calling a magical journey into somewhat familiar territory. The animated adventure comes via directors John Musker and Ron Clements, who previously helmed classic Disney titles like Aladdin and The Little Mermaid, and critics seem to agree that they’ve crafted a dazzling, altogether timely fantasy amid the ongoing push for greater diversity in mainstream movies.

When you think of Disney Channel’s Recess, which ran from 1997-2001, the first thing that comes to mind probably isn’t the 1978 NBC sitcom Taxi. But according to the animated series’ creators Paul Germain (Rugrats) and Joe Ansolabehere (Hey Arnold!), it was the inspiration for their hit animated series. “We were big fans of those ’70s sitcoms, and Taxi was a show we really loved,” says Ansolabehere. “If you think about it, it is similar.

Things are getting weirder. The job of the second installment of the Stephen King-inspired Castle Rock series is to raise a lot of questions, and most of those can be summed up as: “What the hell?” The first episode ended with an apparent massacre as The Kid (Bill Skarsgård) — the mysterious, unspeaking figure discovered caged in the bowels of Shawshank State Prison for untold years — emerged from confinement, leaving a trail of bodies in his path.

Celebrity free diver Francisco "Pipín" Ferreras is taking Netflix to court over the 2022 French film No Limit, which he says has defamed him by suggesting that he killed his wife, Audrey Mestre. According to a legal complaint filed Wednesday in California, Ferreras is suing the streaming platform, as well as production company Nolita Cinéma and writer-director David M. Rosenthal, for defamation per se and false light invasion of privacy because he says the sports drama is a "

Who knew a roomy glove compartment could sell cars? Well, it probably has more to do with the car salesman, who in the case of some recent Dodge Durango commercials, is none other than Will Ferrell’s wonderfully quotable Anchorman character Ron Burgundy. EW spoke with the ad agency and the Funny or Die team about the creative process behind those silly ads (and the 70 or so additional filmed spots) last month.

PopWatch intern Kate Sullivan calls Susman to the carpet over his shocking exclusion of Michael Keaton in Mr. Mom from his list of funniest movie dads: KS: So, Gary, we got a passionate letter from an outraged reader demanding to know why you slighted Mr. Mom in your roundup of funny dads… and, I have to say, I think the man has a point. I’m not saying every movie with a parental title in the title should make it — I’m not asking you to tack on Ghost Dad — but Big Daddy makes it and Mr.
