Although Scott Gimple won’t be The Walking Dead’s showrunner in the AMC drama’s upcoming Season 9, he’s still as psyched about it as any superfan. His successor, longtime Twd writer/Ep Angela Kang, “has it under lock,” he tells TVLine, adding that in his new role as the franchise’s chief content officer, “I’m enjoying seeing it come together.”

Viewers likely will enjoy discovering what the new normal is for the series’ survivors now that the Ahk alliance’s war with the Saviors has ended. “The conclusion of that conflict in some ways was the conclusion

“Rick and Morty” fans are known to be, well, fanatical in their devotion to the animated series created by Dan Harmon. Just ask the McDonald’s employees who had to put up with them last year when, due to a gag on the show that went too far, the fast-food chain brought back its Szechuan Sauce for a limited time. Speaking to Vulture from the Tribeca Film Festival, Harmon denied the rumors that he got a cut of those sales — and put some of his own fans on blast for their behavior.

“It’s weird to get mugged by McDonald’s. It’s kind of an honor,” he said in regards to the fact that no one from the show was informed of the promotion, which was not-so-subtly a response to the show featuring said dipping sauce. As for his devotees’ insane response, Harmon said he “wouldn’t wish that show

Richard Strauss’s well known composition, Also Sprach Zarathustra, has since the dawn of movies and TV become one of the most overused and yet still anticipated pieces of music in history. It’s typically used when something needs to seem epic, or simply more prominent than it would have been on its own.

Sometimes it’s classic, other times it’s meant as a parody. 5. Zoolander Male models are simply not this dumb. Some

Beverly D’Angelo is one of those classic actresses that never really seems to go out of style no matter where she pops up. The last time I saw her was in the ill-fated Vacation movie that featured Rusty Griswold and his family as they made their way across America in an effort to relive the magic that was the original movie. Of course things didn’t go as well and in fact even went worse since the movie had to at least try and top the first one. It’s not much of a surprise that it didn’t. 5. Lightning Jack-Lana Castel

Ron Livingston is kind of a surprise as an actor since if you really think about it Office Space is the one movie that most people will know that he’s in.

Ron has a sense of humor that’s dry and witty at the same time but isn’t too overbearing. As a result he

I’m betting that a lot of folks didn’t realize that Close To You by the Carpenter’s was a cover song that was originally a demo by Dionne Warwick with a Burt Bacharach arrangement. In fact it was first recorded by Richard Chamberlain in 1963 but never caught on. When the Carpenter’s got a hold of it however they turned it into a song that’s been immortalized since its re-release. Since that time it’s been featured in films and TV alike either as a meaningful piece or a spoof of sorts that still brings greater meaning to the work it’s been

Timothy Hutton is an Oscar-winning actor but you don’t hear about him nearly as much as you used to back in the day.

But then somewhere during his career things calmed down and he didn’t get quite as much notice. He’s still a great actor and someone that’s very engaging to watch depending on his role, but throughout the years it seems that he’s gone more towards TV and Direct to DVD movies than anything. That makes it necessary to

The dangers of a divorce and what it can do to children is found to be quite poignant with the film Loveless. The parents within the film are simply cold and argumentative towards one another and never seem to consider what their continual arguing is doing to their child. In fact it’s safe to say that the father’s newest child that he’s about to have with his girlfriend could be treated just as coldly as it’s described in the synopsis.
