Stuart Review: "Spoiler: Zack's in This One"
It never fails when it comes to a new show. You watch the first episode, and you like it. But then you wonder about Episode 2. Will it be as good? Will it decline in comparison to the first? That's the true test of a new show's mettle. Regarding Stuart Fails to Save the Universe, we saw our heroes in a post-apocalyptic universe which was ruled by Barry Kripke, who actually shot and killed Raj in his attempt to prevent Stuart and Bert from activating the device that was built by Howard, Leonard, and Sheldon. Stuart gets it working, and he, Kripke, and Bert are now in another universe--where everything's nice, sweet, and hunky-dory.

Tommy Boy vs Black Sheep. Top Story - August 2026.
We all love Chris Farley, don't we? Chris Farley's time with us was way too short, but he gave us so much in the world of TV and film. Five years on Saturday Night Live, many memorable sketches, and a load of hilarious films. The two films that get the most attention: Tommy Boy and Black Sheep , which co-starred Farley and his fellow SNL co-hort, David Spade. The similarities are many; both Farley and Spade in crazy situations that they have to get out of, both have Lorne Michaels at the helm, and both are absolutely hilarious as hell, among many other similarities.

A Computer Steals My Life
I bought my dad a laptop for his 80th birthday. He virtually never used it, so I bought him a tablet and he gave me the laptop back. He likes the tablet, it's easy to use though he's still getting to grips with the concept of wifi, but he likes using it to watch youtube videos and research things via Google. So far so good.

Rachel Reviews: Widow's Bay (2026)
I'd been desperate for something to watch which would entertain but also stimulate me. I'm fed up of having the brutality of man constantly thrust in my face in all its gory or sweary nastiness, both in fiction and reality, but was struggling to find something else. And then, I stumbled across an article about Matthew Rhys which mentioned "Widow's Bay". In it, it cited how he may have brought to his performance, in this new Apple TV series, his knowledge of people in the small town where he grew up, the Pembrokeshire town of Fishguard in west Wales.

Miss it or Watch it? (My Latest Movie Adventures)
The Invite (2026) Director: Olivia Wilde, Actors: Olivia Wilde, Seth Rogan This movie was not what I thought, and I am so disappointed. “The Invite” stars Olivia Wilde, Seth Rogan, Penelope Cruz, and Edward Norton. Rogan was hilarious, but felt misplaced. It’s a set-in-one-location dinner party. Based on the trailer and the first hour, Olivia Wilde appeared to be experimenting with unique storytelling. I said to myself, “It doesn’t look like it will be porn.” Oh... I almost walked out. What have films come to now? Why do they need porn angles? “The Invite” was fine just as it was, with the couples engaging in talks about their lifestyle and hobbies.

Getting Started at Fantasia…Again…
It was good to be back. I did not know that I would really enjoy my return to the Fantasia Film Festival (July 16th to August 2nd) in Montreal. I realized that my money would last beyond the end of the college semester earlier in the year, and the private contracts that would run out over the summer…but things are not perfect. And I knew that another summer of scrounging for jobs and sending out too many applications for too little would be nothing but a sad way to enjoy it. There was the festival, and it was my fifth (?) year as a volunteer…if I decided to jump back in.
