Remember When..."Home And Away" Completely Bungled Its Own Storyline

Director Matt Shakman, who’s steering The Fantastic Four: First Steps, sees his film as a launchpad for the next wave of Marvel movies—specifically setting the stage for the Russo Brothers’ Avengers: Doomsday. In a chat with Deadline, he framed it as a "passing the baton" moment, hinting at how his take on Marvel’s iconic team will ripple through Phase Six of the MCU.

Editor’s Note: Marvel’s strategy is all about interconnected storytelling, and Shakman’s comments reassure fans that Fantastic Four isn’t just another reboot—it’s a crucial piece of the bigger MCU puzzle. If done right, it could reinvigorate the franchise after some recent wobbles and set up Doomsday as the next mega-event. For superhero fans, that’s a big deal.

Jon Stewart didn’t hold back in a fiery, uncensored episode of The Daily Show, ripping into CBS for suddenly axing The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. He reminisced about their years working together and made it clear he wasn’t just going to shrug off the decision—this was personal.

Editor’s Note: When a heavyweight like Stewart calls out a network, it’s more than just drama—it’s a spotlight on how messy and unpredictable the TV business can be. This isn’t just about Colbert’s show; it’s about who gets to call the shots in entertainment and why audiences should care when big decisions happen behind closed doors. Stewart’s rant? That’s the sound of pushback.

Jon Stewart didn’t hold back on The Daily Show, tearing into Paramount (his own network’s parent company) for canceling Stephen Colbert’s Late Show. In a fiery monologue, Stewart mocked corporate fears over controversy and bluntly told executives to—well, let’s just say he wasn’t polite. It’s a rare moment of a host publicly trashing their own bosses, and it’s as entertaining as it is revealing.

Editor’s Note: This isn’t just about two comedy giants—it’s a flashpoint in the bigger fight over creative freedom vs. corporate control in entertainment. Stewart’s outburst highlights how networks, scared of alienating advertisers or audiences, might sideline even their biggest stars. For viewers, it’s a reminder that the shows they love often exist at the mercy of behind-the-scenes battles. And for the industry? Well, Stewart just threw a Molotov cocktail into the boardroom.

The creators of South Park, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, just inked a massive $1.5 billion deal with Paramount to bring the long-running animated series to Paramount+ in the U.S. This means fans will finally be able to stream new and old episodes of the show on the platform—a big win for both the studio and viewers who’ve been waiting for it to land on a major streaming service.

Editor’s Note: This deal is huge for a few reasons. First, it shows how much value studios place on iconic content like South Park in the streaming wars. Second, it locks down a major draw for Paramount+, which has been fighting for subscribers against giants like Netflix and Disney+. And for fans? No more hopping between platforms—South Park now has a (pricey) streaming home.

Turns out, Ahaan Panday’s Bollywood debut isn’t the only interesting thing about his family. His father, Chikki Panday—a businessman and close friend of Shah Rukh Khan—once helped bail SRK out of jail back in 1994, alongside actor Nana Patekar. The connection runs deep, with Ahaan and SRK’s son, Aryan Khan, also being pals. It’s one of those "small world" moments that makes Bollywood’s inner circle feel even tighter.

Editor’s Note: This isn’t just a fun throwback—it’s a peek into how intertwined Bollywood’s relationships are, where personal bonds span decades and even generations. For fans, it’s a reminder that behind the glitz, the industry runs on friendships (and occasional bailouts). For Ahaan, it’s an intriguing footnote as he steps into the spotlight.
