Is Jake (Jordan Calloway) really leaving Fire Country? Episode 18 left the impression the final two episodes of season three could be Jake’s last. Hopefully, his status won’t be left hanging and fans will get the answer one way or another when the two-part season three finale airs on Friday, April 25, 2025 beginning at 9pm Et/Pt.

Biblical films have long been etched into the foundation of cinema, stretching back to grand spectacles like The Ten Commandments and Ben-Hur, which once reigned supreme at the Oscars, snagging eleven wins and tying with titans like Titanic and The Return of the King.

But those massive religious epics have been less frequent in recent decades and have been replaced by a more diverse range, with the likes of Aronofsky’s flood-soaked Noah to the eerie intensity of The Passion of the Christ, and even lighthearted entries like The Star and the musical tones of Journey to Bethlehem.

“The Order” (2024) is a brooding investigative thriller that puts another feather in director Justin Kurzel’s cap. After the chilling character portraits in “Nitram” and “The Snowtown Murders,” Kurzel returns with an equally harrowing depiction of evil in human beings. This time, he shifts his focus toward a White Supremacist terrorist group that was active in the 1980s. He paints the picture of a small American town mainly through the eyes of an FBI agent, who ends up in a cat-and-mouse chase with the terrorist group’s members. Although the plot essentially leads us toward its leader’s capture, it is more interested in interrogating the human tendencies that affect the usual order of any place, and how people react in such situations of change.

While “Abbott Elementary’s” Janine (show creator and star Quinta Brunson) and Gregory (Tyler James Williams) are going strong in their relationship, that doesn’t mean that impersonating each other in one humorous sequence during the Season 4 finale came easily for the actors who play them.

The episode, titled “Please Touch Museum,” follows Abbott’s teachers and students on a field trip to the hands-on Philadelphia museum, which is “for babies,” according to the school’s sullen eighth graders. To cheer the preteens up, the museum guide suggests they write a play about their time at “Abbott” — one that roasts their teachers. To make matters funnier, the students cast their teachers to play one another.

Spoilers for "Breaking Bad" and "Better Call Saul" ahead.

Fewer series have been more influential this century than "Breaking Bad." Widely considered one of the greatest television shows of all time, "Breaking Bad" immersed viewers in the life of Walter White (Bryan Cranston), a high school chemistry teacher who gets diagnosed with stage-three lung cancer. With the help of his ex-student Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul), Walter manufactures and distributes methamphetamine to ensure his family's financial security after his death, only to find himself transforming (and morally degrading) into the drug kingpin Heisenberg. And while Walter would claim that he alone brought himself to the top of the mountain, he would not have achieved his power level without the help of one Attorney at Law, Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk).

[This story contains major spoilers from the season three finale of Yellowjackets, “Full Circle.”]

Many things came full circle in the Yellowjackets season three finale, including a premonition that Lottie had about her death.

If you ask Courtney Eaton, who plays Lottie in the Showtime survival series’ 1996-1997 teenager timeline, the duality of playing a possibly clairvoyant character who has the ability to see the future while she, as an actor, doesn’t know what the showrunners have planned down the line isn’t lost on her.

“That’s the challenge with playing Lottie. She is usually the one to see and foreshadow things, but I don’t know anything as the actor, which makes playing her really fun because I get to make choices that could be interpreted a few different ways,” Eaton tells The Hollywood Reporter of the mystery drama.

An earlier episode of Yellowjackets revealed Lottie’s death in present day as a mystery, setting up a whodunit...

Editor's Note: This article contains spoilers for Yellowjackets, including Season 3.

The Yellowjackets hive is still buzzing after the explosive season 3 finale. Whether you loved every moment or took issue with some creative choices, one thing is undeniable: the latest season was not only hungrier and bloodier, but also came with a significantly higher body count. We lost many characters we’d grown to admire, yet a shimmer of hope for rescue from the wilderness lingers. Among all the chaos and tragedy, one quietly devastating element accompanied all the events: Misty's grief for Natalie. It was one of the most compelling and emotionally resonant components of the entire season.

Season 3 picks up shortly after the events of the previous season and opens with Natalie’s funeral (Juliette Lewis). One notable absence? Misty (Christina Ricci). Instead of attending, Misty turns to alcohol, especially after visiting Natalie’s storage unit and discovering...

Bode (Max Thieriot) will always take any opportunity to play the hero, and while sometimes he can be annoying, he does what needs to be done at other times. The penultimate airing of Fire Country Season 3 finds him going head-to-head with the people involved in the Oxalta deal as he and Manny (Kevin Alejandro) threaten to blow it apart. Meanwhile, "The Station 42 crew responds to a routine house fire that escalates into a dangerous situation for one of their own," reads the logline for Fire Country Season 3, Episode 18, "Eyes and Ears Everywhere." Still, in the episode airing on Friday, April 18, Jake (Jordan Calloway) considers leaving the station as tensions reach new highs. CBS released a sneak peek of the episode, previewing these storylines.

Episode 17, "Fire and Ice," found Jake contending with the fact that Station 42 is a family affair, and now that the wayward son has found his way home,...

Over the years, there have been multiple projects about Jesus Christ. Whether it's Mel Gibson's critically acclaimed 2004 film The Passion of the Christ, the limited series Jesus of Nazareth, or 1988's The Last Temptation of Christ, there have been plenty of projects to follow the religious figure.

Ahead of Easter, a new film following the life of Jesus Christ premiered in theaters: The Kings of Kings. However, the movie is an animated film aimed at children, with Oscar Isaac voicing the main character. Following its debut in theaters, the movie had a positive Rotten Tomatoes score from the critics, but it's now close to losing its "fresh" status, while the audience couldn't disagree more.

The King of Kings debuted with a positive score of 76% from the critics on the review-aggregator website. The score was encouraging enough, but, as more reviews came in, the animated film's rating started to worsen.

Angel Studios' first animated feature, The King of Kings, is poised to steal a box office crown when it opens in theaters this weekend. The faith-based epic, starring Oscar Isaac in the role of Jesus Christ, seemingly has the blessing of cinemagoers, as the movie has already amassed $14.6 million in pre-sales, according to Deadline. Its early box-office performance puts it in pole position for the best-ever opening for an animated Biblical movie, breaking a record held by DreamWorks Animation's The Prince of Egypt ($14.5 million) for the past 27 years.

In addition to toppling The Prince of Egypt's animated retelling of the Book of Exodus, The King of Kings has surpassed the advance ticket sales of Angel Studios' biggest hit, Sound of Freedom, which went on to make over $250 million at the worldwide box office. The studio's latest offering is supported by a special "Kids Go Free" campaign that allows cinema...

Bill Murray and Naomi Watts star as best friends in The Friend, a comedy-drama about a friend leaving his beloved pet, a Great Dane named Apollo, to his best friend. The friend didn’t let the bestie know about this plan, leaving the friend both grieving and trying to find a place for a dog that is not allowed in her no-pets apartment.

There even seems some doubt about whether that was really ever said out loud. But it is what the friend’s second ex-wife, who has the dog now, tells her he wanted. Naomi Watts plays Iris, the friend who is left the dog when her best friend Walter (Bill Murray) suddenly dies.

The action drama Tracker has been a hit for CBS since its premiere in 2024. It stars Justin Hartley in the lead role as Colter Shaw, taught to be a survivalist by his father and now making his living as a "rewardist." Traveling all over the U.S. in his airstream, Colter works with private citizens and law enforcement to locate missing people in exchange for reward money. Based on Jeffrey Deaver's 2019 bestselling novel The Never Game and developed for TV by Ben H. Winters, Tracker has all the makings of a long-lasting network series. Its first season topped CBS ratings as the most-watched scripted series with an average of over eight million viewers per episode, and the second season kept the ball rolling with the most-watched premiere of the 2024-25 broadcast season. But should it be worried by accusations of plagiarism?

This article contains spoilers to Yellowjackets Season 3.

In Season 3 of Yellowjackets, there are two overarching conflicts across the two different timelines. The flashback sequence is more subtle, slowly building up to the point in which their youthful society takes a twisted turn into cult-like behavior reliant on dominance and murder. In modern times, the Yellowjacket survivors no longer just have outside threats, such as Shauna's stalker, to worry about. As the plot intensifies, it has become clear that none of the characters can trust their fellow survivors.

One of the most interesting storylines in this season of Yellowjackets is Taissa Turner's troubling change of character. Previously, Tai seemed like the most level-headed survivors, relying on her wit and intelligence to keep things in order. However, in this sequence, her unpredictable...

David Lynch launched Naomi Watts' stateside acting career when they collaborated on the iconic film, Mulholland Drive, together. And, it seems, the lauded and genius director was still working on ways for the two to continue their partnership in the weeks leading up to his death. It's a touching bit of insight into the unique and singular way Lynch worked with his favorite creative collaborators — one rife with a bit of grief for what could have been when the director passed away on January 17, 2025.

In a new interview with the Los Angeles Times, the actress divulged a few precious details about her last lunch with the director and fellow actress/Lynch muse, Laura Dern. A meal that took place not just because they were all friends, but also because Lynch was cooking up a new project idea that would reunite the trio on screen again. According to Watts:

In a career spanning four decades and eight features, Alain Guiraudie has cemented himself as one of our most astute chroniclers of desire. If there’s any leitmotif to his libidinous body of work, that’s not homosexuality (prevalent as same-sex encounters might be across his films) but a force that transcends all manner of labels and categories. His is a cinema of liberty: of vast, enchanted spaces and solitary wanderers who wrestle with their passions, and in acting them out, change the way they carry themselves into the world. Desire becomes an exercise in self-sovereignty, a way of reasserting one’s independence––a rebirth. It is often said that cinema is an inescapably scopophilic realm, where the act of looking is itself a source of pleasure,...

Hart Hanson's procedural series "Bones" was never a runaway hit for Fox, but thanks to its devoted fan base it had a high Nielsen ratings floor, which made it one of the network's most reliable shows over its 12-year run. Viewers dug its out-there plotlines and, of course, the will-they-or-won't-they chemistry between forensic genius Temperance "Bones" Brennan (Emily Deschanel) and FBI Agent Seeley Booth (David Boreanaz) -- something that spilled over to the supporting players, who struck up romantic sparks of their own (most notably between Michelle Conlin's Angela Montenegro and T.J. Thyne's Jack Hodgins).

Indeed, "Bones" had a deep bench of supporting characters who were immensely appealing, so it's kind of surprising that Hanson and Fox never managed to generate a spinoff series for one or more of them. Surely, they could've taken a chance on one of the series' squinterns? Okay, there was "Bones: Skeleton Crew...

One thing we can say for sure about the Fire Country writers is that they are an ambitious bunch. How else do you describe them pitting a small fire station against a million-dollar corporation?

Whatever the series is plotting, I am all for this recent story development. For once, the drama isn’t a blazing forest fire or a medical emergency that goes from bad to worse.

Fire Country is using an age-old tactic that is both a cliche and certified method to corral audience members around the characters.

(Sergei Bachlakov/CBS)

The writers are bringing in a “big bad” to rally Sharon, Vince, and everyone else at the station. It’s a tried-and-true technique that never fails.

Fire Country has tried the “Hometown Hero” strategy, and now it seems like they are going for the “Great Evil” that unites a group of people. Sometimes, the old ways are the best ways.

Wow, can you believe we're already halfway through Yellowjackets season 3!? Time is certainly going by quickly. Well, this week we got a new episode, season 3 episode 5, "Did Tai Do That?" And I will say that the writers definitely got me. I thought we were definitely going to say goodbye to a major character, but that hasn't happened. Yet at least. Here's our review of the episode on Paramount+ and Showtime. Spoilers Below.

As always, let's start with the past timeline. After the girls find Coach Scott guilty at the trial they held in episode 4, "12 Angry Girls and 1 Drunk Travis," last week, now it's time for him to face judgment. And the majority of them decide a fitting punishment is death,...

A trial resulted in some of the best drama of this season of Yellowjackets. Shauna continues to gain power and strength in the teen years. However, in the present, someone hunts her. Meanwhile, Misty tries to find her own new path forward. It’s not only one that requires her to rethink her relationship to the Yellowjackets, but Walter as well. “Did Tai Do That” also gives us insight into its titular character. Her struggle between her former life and future with Van continues to cause her grief. Combined with the group’s shared sadness about Lottie’s death, there’s a lot to work through.

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for Fire Country Season 3 Episode 14 “Death Trap.”] Quick, someone call 9-1-1 for Manny! Kevin Alejandro‘s character is really not doing well at the end of the latest Fire Country. The episode, directed by Kevin’s wife, Leslie Alejandro, also features key emotional moments for Leones. First, Vince (Billy Burke) has to accept that his father Walter’s (Jeff Fahey) dementia has gotten to the point that he needs a care facility (but they’re expensive). Then, Bode (Max Thieriot) opens up to Audrey (Leven Rambin) on their first date about wanting to take the pills he’d been holding on to not just for his knee but when Birch died and when his grandfather went missing, but he didn’t. Below, Kevin and Leslie Alejandro take us inside this episode and tease what’s ahead. Leslie, how did you directing this episode come about? Was it just the right timing?...

No pun is intended when I say things on Fire Country are heating up.

Between Walter’s dementia, Gabriela’s journey, Bode’s drugs, and now these strange medical illnesses, the series is keeping the drama burning bright.

Since the show came back from its winter break, I have pointed out how the story has evolved from previous seasons.

(Sergei Bachlakov/CBS)

Fire Country Season 3 Episode 14 felt like the culmination of everything the series has been trying to accomplish with Season 3.

The drama feels more organic and natural. The characters are becoming more layered and less one-dimensional. Best of all, the story has real stakes again rather than the “catastrophe of the week.”

By that, I mean Fire Country is returning to form and bringing back many of the elements that had us hooked during Fire Country Season 1 with arcs that are more plot than character-driven.

The following contains spoilers for Yellowjackets Season 3, Episode 5, "Did Tai Do That?," which premiered Friday, March 7 on Paramount+.

If the first three episodes of Yellowjackets Season 3 seemed tame, Episode 4 spun right back into the series' typical territory. The previous episode ended with Coach Ben being found guilty of burning down the cabin and adult Lottie dead in an alley. Now in Season 3, Episode 5, "Did Tai Do That?," the survivors reckon with the consequences that burden their moral code.

At the morgue, Misty blackmails the coroner to get Lottie's personal effects. While he's gone, she takes DNA evidence from Lottie's body: hair, dirt under her fingernails, anything to get the scoop on who was behind this. She meets with the remaining Yellowjackets, a group that's getting smaller, and tells them Lottie is dead. All had problems with Lottie, but they appear devastated. The coroner has ruled it accidental, saying she fell down the stairs,...

With Lottie (Simone Kessell) confirmed dead in Yellowjackets, the investigation has begun to figure out who killed her. It seems unlikely that she just fell down the stairs on her own. Naturally, fingers are pointing to the obvious suspect, Tai (Tawny Cypress), considering Episode 5 is even called “Did Tai Do That?”

But as the ladies, led by Misty (Christina Ricci), dive deeper into the mystery, they uncover that there’s a lot about Lottie they didn’t know. Her death could be at the hands of just about anyone, the reason for just about anything.

Misty Jumps Full Force Into an Investigation

As we go further into season 3 of Yellowjackets, I think it’s becoming clearer that there is no “wilderness” at play here. It is also sad that we’re seeing the “core group” getting killed off one by one, which makes me feel like nobody is safe, and we’re going to end the show with nobody left alive (yikes). In the past timeline, our expectations of what would happen to Coach Scott have been subverted in this episode, and I, for one, am kind of happy about this. Also, am I the only one who thinks Akilah may still be alive? We do know that the team is eventually going to get split up, and it looks like Shauna may be the one to blame for this happening, but does this mean loads more of the girls are still alive, too?

In 1974, the screen comes alive with a distinctly charged atmosphere, one where the fading echoes of the old studio system mix with the bold experiments of an emerging cinematic era.

The film unfurls against a backdrop steeped in the aesthetic and ambitions of that time—a period marked by a seismic shift in filmmaking techniques and narrative approaches. The industry, in a state of quiet revolution, offers a stage where the rules of traditional production are questioned and redefined.

At the heart of the narrative lies a desperate producer who devises a plan to secure an insurance payout by engineering a fatal mishap on set. This risky plot centers on the production of a Western, interweaving peril with the delicate art of staging an “accident.” The story’s momentum is driven by a carefully orchestrated gamble, where each attempt to tip fate into the producer’s favor adds layers of tension and dark humor.

The excitement builds for the upcoming episode of “Toya & Reginae,” titled “The Clash of the Johnsons.” This episode, airing on Friday, March 14, 2025, at 8:00 Pm on We tv, promises a mix of drama and heartfelt moments that fans have come to love.

Who could forget Saul Goodman's reference to The Godfather when he compared him and Walter to Tom Hagan and Vito Corleone, or perhaps even Badger and Skinny Pete's humorous discussions about Star Trek?

On the latest "Yellowjackets," the teenage cast — stuck in the wilderness and the '90s — held a trial for Coach Ben (Steven Krueger), accused of torching their cabin last season. In the 2021 timeline, Shauna (Melanie Lynskey) was once more haunted by the late Jackie (Ella Purnell) while Tai (Tawny Cypress) and Van (Lauren Ambrose) tested if the Wilderness is hungry for another trade of lives.

Overall, the past storyline (as usual) seemed like the higher stakes one — until the episode's closing moments, when Misty (Christina Ricci) sees the latest post on her Citizen Detective message board. Lottie (Simone Kessell) is dead, lying at the bottom of a stairwell. Just to convince any doubters, the camera lingers on her still body to show, yes, she really is dead.

This twist has got the "Yellowjackets" hive all riled up, and not exactly because they're singing its praises.

TV shows tend to be nothing without their characters. They range from good, bad, and everything in between. A character’s choices usually drive the narrative, or at least provide some material for other characters to make fun of.

It’s not just other characters that poke fun at people on screen, as the audience gets free rein in deciding whether a character is worth liking or hating. The audience can love a character so much that spinoffs get created for them, or their actor receives more acclaim. But, a great show often features a character the audience simply can’t stand. Whether they’re a serial killer or just plain annoying, there are plenty of characters that are so insufferable, they can make a fan hesitate to watch a beloved show again.

Yellowjackets has proven that no one is safe with the tragic death of adult Natalie (Juliette Lewis) at the end of Season 2. With Season 3 well underway after an almost two-year wait, fans have had time to process the death of one of the only surviving women from the ordeal in the wilderness 25 years earlier. But in Season 3, Episode 4, entitled “12 Angry Girls and 1 Drunk Travis,” there was another shocking death, and it was one no one saw coming.

This death will likely serve as a catalyst for everything that happens through the remainder of the series in at least one of the timelines. And that will include an investigation into who would have killed this person.

“Yellowjackets” said goodbye to its latest major character character in Season 3, Episode 4, which ends with one of the adult characters mysteriously found dead.

Melanie Lynskey, who plays Adult Shauna, and Simone Kessell, who plays Adult Lottie, discussed the tension between the two characters as Lottie tried to take Shauna’s daughter Callie (Sarah Dejardins) under her wing.

Where’s My Apology? Season 2 Episode 6 Episode Summary

This episode, airing on We tv, focuses on the ongoing disagreements between Toya and Ms. Anita regarding Walter’s past actions. The central question of whether Walter should apologize creates a divide, leading to some heated discussions.

Reginae’s loyalty to her grandmother adds another layer to the unfolding drama, making viewers wonder how this will impact her relationship with Toya.

Meanwhile, Casey faces his own struggles as he gets triggered and breaks down during the episode. This moment reveals...

In true Fire Country fashion, the series can’t let any character be happy for too long. Unfortunately for Bode, he has been smiling more and more, and it looks like the writers have caught on.

In the “My Team” promo, Bode seems to still be recovering from the civilian he couldn’t save in “I’m the One Who Just Goes Away.” By the end, it looks like Bode’s old drug addiction comes back into play.

Any Fire Country fans who have forgotten that Bode once struggled with drug use would easily be forgiven. With only a handful of references, the series has never gone that far into Bode’s drug addiction.

However, if you’ve kept up with the recent Fire Country reviews, then you know the show has been backtracking by using already-established details to help flesh out a lot of the characters.

Turns out, The Big Bang Theory universe isn’t done geeking out just yet. While fans might’ve hoped for Kevin Sussman’s return as Stuart, creator Chuck Lorre has his eyes on a different fan-favorite for the upcoming spinoff. This star’s geek credentials run so deep, even Marvel tapped him as a writer.

As Lorre breathes new life into the sitcom universe, bringing back this iconic brainiac feels like the perfect play.

Bert actor Brian Posehn is stepping back into the sitcom universe.

Posehn’s geek cred runs deep. Beyond his lovable role on The Big Bang Theory, Posehn co-wrote Deadpool during Marvel’s Now! era (2012-2015), bringing humor and chaos to the Merc with a Mouth across 45 issues.

Breaking Bad took the entire crime drama genre by storm when it was released in 2008. It showcased how circumstances can turn a high school teacher into a drug kingpin. And with actor Bryan Cranston leading the way as Walter White, it truly became a go-to show for millions. Much of this applause also goes to creator Vince Gilligan, who was the true mastermind behind the series.

While he is often praised for his sharp storytelling and brilliance, he himself admitted that it was indeed self-doubt that played a very important role in the show’s success.

Being the creator of one of the most iconic shows out there is not an easy feat.

It’s a known fact that Breaking Bad is one of the best TV dramas of the 21st century. With its 5 seasons and 62 episodes, the series tells us a story of a family conflict, witted lawyers, and compelling criminals. Seriously, its characters have left a mark on the entertainment industry.

Despite the success of Breaking Bad, the series still hasn’t dived into the gaming world. This is quite shocking, as smash-hit series/movies often try to spin off into games to capitalize on the hype and give fans something new. If Breaking Bad ever decides to give a shot to a video game series, it must be taken on by the same developer who worked on The Walking Dead and Game of Thrones titles.

Breaking Bad has never failed to deliver when it comes to depicting the fragilities of human desires and the fickle nature of relationships. The AMC crime drama remains one of the best shows to ever air on television while the brutal and revolutionary arc helped launch a second Golden Age of television storytelling.

A major part of the credit goes, of course, to the series creator and showrunner, Vince Gilligan. The sheer stroke of genius that helped him map out the subversive plot of Breaking Bad made him an immortal figure in pop culture history, right alongside Bryan Cranston, Aaron Paul, and Bob Odenkirk.

However, one character deserves just as much a seat at the table as one of the boys who made Breaking Bad into such a legacy.

While Fire Country is no stranger to pulling at the heartstrings, lately, the series has made great strides in organic depictions of real struggles.

This episode, particularly, did great work grounding many of the characters and the story. The show is getting back to the root of why Season 1 struck such a chord with so many fans.

Fire Country has leaned less on the constant chaos in Edgewater and more on the devastation right at home.

There is still a way to go, but the series is proving that it knows where its strengths lie.

Long gone are the days of pushing the toxic and fruitless non-relationship that Bode and Gabriela shared.

Instead, we’re seeing the characters develop layers that benefit the plot and the show as a whole — namely, Edgewater’s hometown hero.

The Grosse Pointe Garden Society Premiere Went Right for the Jugular When...

The following contains spoilers for Yellowjackets Season 3, Episode 3, "Them's the Brakes," which premiered Friday, Feb. 21 on Paramount+.

The previous two episodes of Yellowjackets Season 3 left a lot of questions unanswered. Who left the phone in the bathroom stall for Shauna? What will Ben do with Mari? Will Misty let Walter return to clean Caligula's cage? Season 3, Episode 3, "Them's the Brakes" starts off hot out of the oven with Mari's exhausted rendition of Right Said Fred's "I'm Too Sexy." Ben hasn't killed her yet, and doesn't seem like he will anytime soon. He'll just continue to mock her about their cannibal habits as he gives her bat for a late-night snack. Mari tries to flirt with Ben to buy herself out of this situation.

In all the months the girls have spent together, it's surprising that most of them still don't know he's gay. At least Ben is more open about his sexuality now.
