‘A dazzling concrete crown’: Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral gets long overdue appreciation

Sony just gave movie exhibitors at CineEurope a sneak peek of 28 Years Later, the long-awaited sequel to Danny Boyle’s zombie hit, by screening the first 28 minutes. Boyle hyped it up in a video message, calling it the "start of something big." They also teased scenes from Darren Aronofsky’s new crime thriller Caught Stealing, starring Austin Butler. Basically, Sony’s flexing some serious cinematic muscle right now.

Editor’s Note: If you’re a fan of gritty, high-stakes storytelling, this is exciting news. 28 Years Later revives a beloved franchise, and Aronofsky’s involvement in Caught Stealing suggests another dark, intense ride. For theaters, it’s a sign that Sony’s betting big on original, director-driven projects—something audiences have been craving.

For the first time ever, streaming services like Netflix and Disney+ grabbed a bigger slice of the TV-watching pie than traditional broadcast and cable in May, according to Nielsen. Streaming made up nearly 45% of all TV screen viewing, marking a major shift in how people consume entertainment.

Editor’s Note: This isn’t just a small win for streaming—it’s a tipping point. For years, cable and broadcast TV dominated, but now streaming has officially pulled ahead. It shows how deeply habits have changed, with more people ditching scheduled programming for on-demand binges. For the industry, it’s a clear signal: the future of TV isn’t in cable bundles, but in the apps we scroll through every night.

Chuck E. Cheese is jumping into the holiday TV game with its first-ever animated Christmas special, featuring iCarly's Nathan Kress and produced by veterans of Phineas and Ferb. The project, backed by HappyNest Entertainment, is set to hit screens this holiday season, marking a big leap for the pizza-and-arcade brand into original entertainment.

Editor’s Note: Chuck E. Cheese isn’t just about birthday parties and skee-ball anymore—it’s betting on nostalgia and holiday cheer to win over families. With a solid creative team and a built-in audience of kids (and their parents who grew up with the brand), this could be a fun, low-stakes addition to the crowded holiday special lineup. Plus, it’s a clever way to keep the brand relevant in an era where streaming content is king.

For the first time ever, streaming services like Netflix and Hulu grabbed a bigger slice of the TV-watching pie than traditional cable and broadcast combined in May, according to Nielsen. Streaming edged out the old-school options by a hair—44.8% of total viewing versus 44.2%—marking a major tipping point in how we consume entertainment.

Editor’s Note: This isn’t just a blip—it’s a full-blown cultural shift. Streaming has been chipping away at cable’s dominance for years, but now it’s officially the king of the living room. For viewers, it means more choice and convenience, but for networks and advertisers, it’s a wake-up call: the old playbook is fading fast. Expect more shakeups as the industry scrambles to keep up.

Zayed Khan just dropped a fun behind-the-scenes tidbit about the 2004 Bollywood hit Main Hoon Na—turns out, he wasn’t the original pick for the role of Lucky. Big names like Hrithik Roshan, Abhishek Bachchan, and Sohail Khan were approached first, but fate (and a random meeting with Shah Rukh Khan at Farah Khan’s office) landed Zayed the part. Even with concerns about limited screen time, SRK backed him, and the rest is history.

Editor’s Note: It’s a lighthearted peek into how chance and star power shape casting in Bollywood. Stories like this humanize the industry—showing even A-listers get passed over sometimes, and unexpected breaks can turn into career-defining roles. For fans, it’s a nostalgic throwback to a beloved film and a reminder of SRK’s influence as a mentor.
