Laughter strikes from all sides in “The Gutter,” the kind of brash and boisterous broad comedy that has largely been missing from multiplexes in recent years. Directors Yassir and Isaiah Lester seem to share a special ability with their main character Walt (Shameik Moore), who has a habit of hitting the central pin in spite of having a different delivery every time he steps up to the line. The same goes for the filmmaking siblings in this hysterical tale of a bowling alley employee who finds he’s better on the lanes than behind the bar.
Although Walt changes things up from a fast-pitch softball-like windup to simply throwing the bowling ball overhand, you just don’t know where a sight gag or a sharp one-liner will hit you when every part of the frame seems like a ripe opportunity for humor. Nothing seems off limits when Walt takes an...

There are some hardcore Trekkies in the world who consider Dean Parisot's 1999 comedy to be the best "Star Trek" movie. The main characters in Parisot's film are all struggling actors, still most fondly remembered for their work on a short-lived cult sci-fi series from decades prior. The in-universe show, called "Galaxy Quest," resembles "Star Trek" in several key ways, and the egotistical lead actor Jason Nesmith (Tim Allen), who played the captain of the starship Protector on "Galaxy Quest," was clearly modeled after William Shatner.
The plot of "Galaxy Quest" is amusing: a species of shapeshifting aliens, requiring defense from marauders, recruit the original "Galaxy Quest" actors to serve as their champions. The aliens assumed that rogue TV broadcasts they once saw were very real and have recreated "Galaxy Quest" in real life.

Zoe Lister-Jones was proud to attend Sunday’s Spirit Awards, and the reason is twofold. First, the multihyphenate talent turned up in Santa Monica to support a pair of nominations for Roku’s Slip, the original series she created, starred in and executive produced alongside a team that includes Dakota Johnson. Reason No. 2: She did so by walking into the event hand-in-hand with a new love in her life.
When the subject of her plus-one came up during an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the 41-year-old Lister-Jones responded with a big reveal: “I’m here, I’m queer, I have some fear but I’m working through it.” Lister-Jones is in a new relationship with a fellow filmmaker, Sammi Cohen, who most recently directed Netflix’s You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah, the teen comedy starring Adam Sandler and family including wife Jackie and their daughters Sadie and Sunny.

Coyote vs. Acme, a highly praised movie merging animation and live action, may still be shelved forever. Backlash and public outcry saved Coyote vs. Acme from deletion once, but now the studio wants to close the books on it. Despite positive feedback and interest from Netflix, Amazon, and Paramount, Warner Bros. is demanding a higher price and may erase the movie.
The tragic saga of Coyote vs. Acme continues, as it once again seems like the Warner Bros. animation/live-action hybrid movie could be shelved forever as the studio has refused to sell it to another distributor. In the midst of this chaos, voice actor Eric Bauza, who stars in the show as the titular Wile E. Coyote, made an appearance at the Annie Awards and made a humorous demand for Warner Bros. to get their act together and just release the movie.

Knuckles, the Sonic the Hedgehog spinoff series, stars Idris Elba as the fierce warrior echidna and follows his adventures on planet Earth. The series takes place between Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and 3 and focuses on Knuckles training Wade to become an echidna warrior. Knuckles features an impressive ensemble cast, including Cary Elwes, Stockard Channing, Christopher Lloyd, Paul Scheer, and Rob Huebel.
Considering how the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise almost skidded to a halt thanks to its "ugly Sonic" design, the little blue critter is now one of Paramount's biggest hits. It seems that the new Knuckles spin-off series is about to continue that success, as the recently released trailer for the series broke a Paramount+ record.

Remember that brief moment in November of 2023 where we all thought Warner Bros. wasn't led by a soulless, money-hungry ghoul but by human beings who could see reason and allow "Coyote vs. Acme" to be shopped to other studios rather than delete it from existence? Well, that didn't last long.
In a damning report by TheWrap, it appears David Zaslav, head of Warner Bros. Discovery and eternal enemy of the Animaniacs, has reversed course and decided no one should ever watch the finished film "Coyote vs. Acme" even if other studios were willing to pay money for it. As producer Chris DeFaria told TheWrap, "They just want to get this behind them," referring to what he heard from a Warner Bros. executive in early January. "They want to close the books." According to TheWrap, Warner Bros. won't even announce that they were unable to find a home for the film.

The Sonic the Hedgehog franchise is off and running (pun intended). Not long ago, the official movie’s social media account released a short announcement trailer for Sonic the Hedgehog 3 in addition to the announcement that Jim Carrey, who had been circling around the decision to retire, will in fact return as the eggman himself, Dr. Robotnik. The third installment in the series teased the crossover of another character from the Sega game’s universe, Shadow, as the latest addition to the hedgehog family.

Buckle up, Sonic fans: your favourite echidna is back. After being introduced on the big screen in Sonic The Hedgehog 2, the Idris Elba-voiced Knuckles is returning in his very own spin-off show titled (you guessed it) Knuckles. The six-episode series will be coming to Paramount+, depicting the spiky-fisted friend of Sonic and Knuckles as he tries to train up Adam Pally’s Wade as an Echidna Warrior. As you can imagine, chaos ensues. Check out the trailer here:
The show is arriving in the not-too-distant future, and will bridge the gap between Sonic 2 and its upcoming threequel. It sees Jeff Fowler returns as director – having helmed both Sonic movies, and the incoming third film – and Sonic 2’s John Whittington is on writing duties.

You've seen these super-powered critters save the world a time or two, but what America and the world at large really want to know is ... what do they do on their day off? Apparently, for alien heroes with a taste for battle, that involves makeshift gladiatorial arenas and a never-ending quest for vengeance. That's courtesy of the popular breakout character from "Sonic the Hedgehog 2," which featured Idris Elba's dulcet tones as the voice of Knuckles. Now, ahead of this year's release of the third "Sonic" film, everybody's favorite red echidna is getting his own spin-off series titled, fittingly enough, "Knuckles."
The much more serious-minded character was a natural choice to expand the "Sonic" universe in live-action, but Paramount threw everyone a curveball when it was announced that the "Knuckles" spinoff would take the form of a streaming series on Paramount+. But if it wasn't already clear before, it...

Sam Rockwell is interested in reprising his role in a possible Galaxy Quest sequel or limited series. A television series based on Galaxy Quest has been attempted before, with Amazon Studios showing interest. The death of Alan Rickman in 2016 impacted discussions for a straight-up sequel to the original movie.
The possibility of a Galaxy Quest sequel is something that has been floating in space for some time now. Last year it was revealed that a new iteration of the sci-fi comedy was in development as a series for Paramount+. In a recent interview with GQ, Sam Rockwell, who appeared as part of the ensemble cast of the film, said he would "be on it" if the sequel came to fruition. He said:
It was a really lucky thing, that film. If there was a sequel to Galaxy Quest, we would be on it. We talked about it, maybe like a limited series.

Paul Scheer thinks Night Court's reboot is successful because it maintains the core premise of the show while introducing new characters. Melissa Rauch's performance as the new judge brings a fresh comedic element to the series and is not compared to the original actor's portrayal. The revival walks the fine line between familiarity and unexpectedness, keeping viewers engaged and caring about the new characters.
Night Court guest star Paul Scheer explains why the sitcom is a rare successful reboot. The show follows Abby Stone (Melissa Rauch), a judge who works at the Manhattan Criminal Court, taking over the night shift from her late father, portrayed by Harry Anderson in the original 1984 series. Along with Rauch, the cast of Night Court includes Kapil Talwalkar, India de Beaufort, Lacretta, Nyambi Nyambi, and John Larroquette, reprising his role as Dan Fielding.

Plot: Jess and Bill Walker are doing their best to keep their family connected as their children grow older, more independent, and more distant. When a chance encounter with an astrological reader causes the family to wake up to a full body switch, on the morning of the most important day of each of their lives, can the Walkers unite to land a promotion, college interview, record deal and soccer tryout?
Review: In the sub-genre of body swap movies, very few films stand out as quality films. The concept itself is ridiculous and silly and tends to aim more toward family-friendly fare like Freaky Friday and 13 Going On 30. Still, even those movies benefitted from some personality and edge that helped them earn some originality, a quality sorely lacking in Netflix’s new Christmas-themed comedy Family Switch.

The man who brought Charlie’s Angels to the big screen and delivered non-stop fun in the TV show Chuck takes a big swing at the body swap genre in Family Switch. Intrepid director McG fuels the new Netflix comedy, which draws off films like 13 Going On 30, Freaky, Change-Up, and others of its offbeat ilk. The result is a holiday family-friendly film that is inspiring, heartwarming, and fun.
Family Switch revolves around the very busy Walker family, a mod quad comprised of parents Jess and Bill, and children Cc and Wyatt, brought to life with vigor by Jennifer Garner (The Last Thing He Told Me), Ed Helms (The Hangover), Emma Myers (Wednesday), and Brady Noon (The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers), respectively. Par for the body-switch course, the Walker fellas and ladies collectively muse about what it would be like to swap places with the others — Jess to Cc; Bill to Wyatt.

Why did George Lucas allow the Star Wars Holiday Special to take place? A Disturbance in the Force does a deep dive into the 1978 special watched by millions and then locked away in a vault, never to be screened again.
“After almost 45 years of being the butt of jokes, we had to unlock all the secrets behind the Holiday Special. Its influence on pop culture has only increased over the last two decades and, also, add the fact that it is a part of the Star Wars filmography – and a hidden one at that – only adds to its mystique. Now is finally the time after all these years to get answers about how the Holiday Special happened,” explained co-directors and producers Jeremy Coon and Steve Kozak.

The story behind the infamous Star Wars Holiday Special is the focus of the documentary A Disturbance in the Force, which — following its premiere at Sundance earlier this year — will head to streaming and DVD this December.
The ill-fated special, which aired Thanksgiving weekend in 1978, is now legend: Fresh off the success of Star Wars, George Lucas was talked into capitalizing on the craze in the form of a holiday-themed TV special, but what resulted was a “Life Day” celebration that hued closer to a Seventies variety show than The Mandalorian.
