Horror Bytes is back! It’s Horror Bytes Episode 2, and for the second installment of our monthly segment in which Neil and I cover bite-sized horror experiences, we’ve increased our number of picks from two to four games apiece. This allows us to produce a more substantial conversation and dissuade me from continuing to inundate Neil’s inbox with bite-sized horror game suggestions on an hourly basis. And while his efforts were futile, we at least got a longer chat out of it! Among this month’s picks, we have a cartoon baby running from spiders, a teen left home alone, a…

In the engrossing new Apple TV+ thriller Severance, Adam Scott plays Mark, a man who literally has no life outside of work — well, half the time, anyway. Let me explain. The show takes place in a world where corporate employees can volunteer for a “severance” procedure that completely separates their memories of their time at the office from their memories of everything else. So there are essentially two Marks: the “innie,” who only exists in and around the sub-basement cubicle where he does some inscrutable kind of data entry, and the “outie,” who has no clue what his body…
Taika Waititi has proven himself to be a deeply talented actor and filmmaker. But it looks he may have picked up some new skills while on the set of Thor: Love and Thunder. Just like the titular god from that film, he recently revealed that was able to literally control the wind while on the set of Rita Ora’s latest photoshoot. It’s been a few months since Thor: Love and Thunder wrapped principal photography, but Taika Waititi seems to be busier than ever. In addition to any post-production duties he may be managing, he also took the time to make sure…

Ocean premiered the one-take, motorcycle-blazoned visualizer Sunday with Rolling Stone. But don’t be confused, “I don’t drive a motorcycle,” the Venezuelan singer tells Rolling Stone with a laugh. “It’s not my thing, but it looks cool! I’ve never done something like that. It was actually my girlfriend who told me that…

Warning: This story contains spoilers for season two, episode five of Euphoria.Sam Levinson is known to blend different styles in Euphoria, often mixing comedy with drama to tell the high schoolers’ stories. But in season two of the HBO series, the episodes have become increasingly chaotic—and episode five is no different. After the last episode closed with Rue (Zendaya) hallucinating her father and being held by Labrinth in church, we expected this one to open with her in a hospital bed. It was a beautiful moment that seemed to symbolize a shift in Rue’s addiction, with some speculating that she had actually died. If you were…

John Cena doesn’t seem like the type of person who would shy away from a challenge. After all, throughout his career, he’s taken on plenty of physically demanding roles. But it sounds like he may have taken on more than he bargained for with legendary martial arts star Jackie Chan. Because the workout that he put him through while they were filming a movie together led to a shocking and unexpected weight change for the Peacemaker star. There’s no denying that John Cena is ripped. Though he’s left his days as a professional wrestler behind, he has no qualms about showing…
