Quick question before the Western hype train leaves the station: who’s playing the mother on that ranch? Everyone is busy arguing about the big names. Zachary Levi stepping into John Wayne’s boots, Neal McDonough looking terrifying, Tommy Lee Jones doing whatever Tommy Lee Jones does best, which is squint at people with disappointment. Fair enough,…
Let’s get the spoiler out of the way: yes, Olive gets her funding. But the route there is messier, angrier, and more satisfying than the poster’s cutesy fake-dating pitch suggests. After watching the Prime Video adaptation (Claire Scanlon directing, Lili Reinhart as Olive, Tom Bateman as Adam Carlsen), I came away with strong opinions. Some…
I went into the 2026 Angel and the Badman expecting a dusty shootout flick with a nice coat of faith paint. What I got was a movie about a man so tired of being himself that kindness nearly knocks him flat. Zachary Levi plays Quirt Evans, and the question that kept me up afterward was…
I went in expecting cozy comfort food. Two hours, a fake-dating trope I could recite in my sleep, maybe a few cute lab jokes. What I got was a third act that made me yell at my screen, pause to text a friend, and then rewatch the last twenty minutes at midnight like a lunatic….
I walked out of Angel and the Badman (2026) with two feelings fighting each other. The first was a real, warm glow, because the New Mexico landscapes are gorgeous and the redemption arc lands. The second was a nagging “wait, who were these people to each other?” I wasn’t the only one. Reviews, YouTube breakdowns,…
I’ve been waiting for this one a long time. Like, “I read the book on a plane in 2021 and haven’t shut up about it since” a long time. So when The Love Hypothesis finally landed on September 23, 2026, I cleared my evening, made tea I’d forget to drink, and went in with exactly…
Okay, I’ll say it: I did not have “”Zachary Levi in a Western with Tommy Lee Jones”” on my 2026 bingo card. And yet here we are, a few days out from October 9, 2026, and I’m weirdly excited. Angel Studios, the people who gave us Sound of Freedom and The Chosen, are swinging for…
I’ll be straight with you: I almost didn’t give CIA a chance. Another Dick Wolf spin-off? Another procedural with a badge, a briefing room and a villain of the week? I’ve seen that movie. Then Season 1 landed in February 2026 and I ended up burning through twelve episodes like a man who’d been starved…
Monday night is about to get crowded with spies, and I’m not complaining. CIA returns to CBS on October 5, 2026, less than five months after its first season wrapped in May. In network TV terms, that’s practically a sprint. I went in expecting a generic Dick Wolf spin-off, and I came out of Season…
Monday night is circled on my calendar in red marker. CIA is back on Monday, October 5, 2026, at 9:00 PM ET/PT on CBS, and the premiere is called “The Deep.” After a first season that left me yelling at my TV more than once, I’m not missing a minute of this one. Here is…
I’ll be straight with you: I was ready to be bored. Nine seasons in, a Dick Wolf procedural usually coasts on muscle memory. Case of the week, tense raid, a quiet scene in the bullpen, credits. Repeat for 22 episodes. FBI had started to feel like comfort food that had been sitting in the fridge…
I’ll admit it: I have a problem with FBI. One episode of Maggie and OA chasing a ticking clock through Manhattan, and suddenly it’s 1 a.m. and I’m asking myself why the bomb squad never has a backup plan. If you’re here, you probably have the same problem. And you probably also noticed that streaming…
