Prestige filmmakers such as Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola and Michael Mann have joined Letterboxd – the online community to share reviews, create lists and fanboy out – but one who never has is John Carpenter. Hell, he doesn’t even know what it is! So, no, those reviews you’ve seen “him” allegedly post are all phony.

Amid a swirl of repostings of supposed reviews that John Carpenter put on Letterboxd, the director took to social media to not only debunk them but ask a serious question: “What the hell is a Letterboxd!??”

But these weren’t just any old reviews – these were, by and large, for John Carpenter movies. While the phony account has since been deleted, saved screenshots point to “John Carpenter” rating every one of his movies. Now that we know it was all a gag, it does take a lot of the fun out of it, but it was still incredible picturing John Carpenter at his desk and conjuring up a scathing review of Memoirs of an Invisible Man.

One of the more popular fake reviews was for Halloween II, in which “John Carpenter” wrote: “They paid me more money than I had ever seen to write a sequel to a film that did not need one. I took the check and spent it on beers to get me drunk enough to plow through this crap. I looked at the final script, which took a whopping 2 days to write, and said “wow, now that’s a piece of shit.” And it was.” While it’s true that Carpenter didn’t care for the 1981 sequel, he actually called it “an abomination and a horrible movie.” More direct and to the point, I’d say…Five stars.

Sticking within the horror genre, another fake review gave 1981’s An American Werewolf in London three stars and questioned the logic of werewolves. Vampires? Now those he can get behind!

As it stands, the top five best-reviewed John Carpenter films on Letterboxd are The Thing, Assault on Precinct 13, Halloween, In the Mouth of Madness, and They Live. But we can’t help but wonder what Carpenter would pick as his own top four…

According to Disney, Agatha All Along has gotten off to a decent start in terms of views. The first episode of the Marvel series hit 9.3 million views in its first seven days of streaming on Disney+. The studio defines a view as the total amount of time watched divided by runtime.

In Agatha All Along, the infamous Agatha Harkness (Kathryn Hahn) finds herself down and out of power after a suspicious goth Teen helps break her free from a distorted spell. Her interest is piqued when he begs her to take him on the legendary Witches’ Road, a magical gauntlet of trials that, if survived, rewards a witch with what they’re missing. Together, Agatha and this mysterious Teen pull together a desperate coven, and set off down, down, down The Road…

Agatha made her first appearance in WandaVision, the first TV series in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It was soon announced that Agatha’s story would continue in a spinoff. WandaVision head writer Jac Schaeffer serves as the showrunner of Agatha All Along and also directed the premiere. In addition to Hahn, the series stars Joe Locke, Aubrey Plaza, Patti LuPone, Sasheer Zamata, Debra Jo Rupp, Ali Ahn, and more.

Our own Alex Maidy enjoyed the series, saying it “connects the supernatural elements of the MCU with a fun, horror-tinged concept that plays like a cross between the tone of the MCU’s Werewolf By Night and the sassy humor of Disney’s fan-favorite Hocus Pocus.” He also had plenty of praise for Hahn, who is able to “dig into Agatha’s backstory in a way similar to how Tom Hiddleston explored Loki in his namesake series.”

“Agatha All Along is a nice entry for new fans and longtime Marvel fans alike to enjoy an engaging series that boasts solid special effects, creepy visuals, crackling dialogue, and a unique foray into the supernatural that will have ripples for the Marvel Cinematic Universe for years to come,” Maidy wrote. “Agatha All Along is a solid outing from the uneven recent phases of the MCU that works because it does not require a backlog of research to enjoy it.” You can check out the rest of Maidy’s review right here.

The first three episodes of Agatha All Along are now streaming on Disney+.

Alan Tudyk is one of those actors who can do anything, from stone-cold killers to crime-solving aliens to slow-witted roosters, and now he might be joining Superman on the big screen. According to Deadline, Tudyk may have a secret role in James Gunn’s upcoming Superman movie. Exactly who the actor might be playing is being kept under wraps, but it could be anything, even a voice role.

Tudyk is actually already a part of the new DC Universe. He voices Doctor Phosphorus in Creature Commandos. The rest of the cast of the upcoming animated series includes Frank Grillo as Rick Flag Sr., David Harbour as Eric Frankenstein, Indira Varma as The Bride, Maria Bakalova as Princess Ilana Rostovic, Zoe Chao as Nina Mazursky, and Steve Agee as John Economos, and Sean Gunn as Weasel. The series tracks a secret team of incarcerated monsters recruited for missions deemed too dangerous for humans. When all else fails… they’re your last, worst option. Creature Commandos will debut on December 5th on Max.

Frank Grillo is making a live-action appearance in Superman as Rick Flag Sr., so it’s possible Tudyk could also turn up as Doctor Phosphorus.

Superman stars David Corenswet (Pearl) as Clark Kent and Rachel Brosnahan (The Marvelous Ms. Maisel) as Lois Lane. The cast also includes Nathan Fillion (The Rookie) as Guy Gardner, a charismatic and slightly obnoxious member of the Green Lantern Corps; Isabela Merced (Dora and the Lost City of Gold) as Hawkgirl; Edi Gathegi (X-Men: First Class) as Mister Terrific; Anthony Carrigan (Barry) as Metamorpho; María Gabriela de Faría (Deadly Class) as The Engineer, a member of The Authority; Sara Sampaio (At Midnight) as Eve Teschmacher; Skyler Gisondo (The Righteous Gemstones) as Jimmy Olsen; Wendell Pierce (The Wire) as Perry White; Neva Howell (Logan Lucky) as Martha Kent; Pruitt Taylor-Vince (The Walking Dead) as Jonathan Kent; and Nicholas Hoult (The Great) as Lex Luthor.

The members of the Daily Planet newsroom have also expanded for the movie, with Beck Bennet (Saturday Night Live) set to play Steve Lombard, Mikaela Hoover (The Suicide Squad) as Cat Grant, and newcomer Christopher McDonald as Ron Troupe.

DC Studios co-CEO Peter Safran has previously teased that Superman will not be an origin story and will focus on “Superman balancing his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing. Superman represents truth, justice and the American way. He is kindness in a world that thinks of kindness as old fashioned.” Superman is slated to hit theaters on July 11, 2025.

Bruce Wayne is still a child in Joker and Joker: Folie à Deux, so the movies naturally take place in a period before Batman. But how would Arthur Fleck react if he came face-to-face with the real Batman?

Joker: Folie à Deux director Todd Phillips has a few thoughts on the matter. “I think Arthur would be in awe of the alpha male that is Batman. I really do,” Phillips told IGN. “I think Arthur would look up and appreciate it. I think he’d be in awe of that.”

Phillips believes “Arthur always had a fascination with men at ease, and he is not a man at ease. [Robert De Niro’s] Murray Franklin in the first movie was a man at ease. He probably saw the guys he worked with as men at ease, and that was the one thing that Arthur could never be was a man at ease.“

It’s highly unlikely that we’ll ever see Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker face off against Batman, as Phillips has said he doesn’t intend on returning for Joker 3. “It was fun to play in this sort of sandbox for two movies,” he said, “but I think we’ve said what we wanted to say in this world.” Phillips has previously said that he expects the ending of Folie à Deux to be unsettling for some. “For the people that have seen this movie in general … at the end, they sit and they don’t move for about three to five minutes,” Phillips said during a recent Q&A. “Then they text me, the ones that know me, or email me and go, ‘I need a minute to process the movie.’” Phillips added, “I think it’s going to leave you with a very unsettling … I think it’s unsettling.”

In addition to Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga, Joker: Folie À Deux stars Brendan Gleeson, Catherine Keener, Jacob Lofland, and Harry Lawtey. Zazie Beetz also returns to reprise her role as Sophie Dumond from the first movie, a love interest for Arthur. Plot details are being kept under wraps, but it’s been said that much of the sequel will take place within Arkham Asylum, which is where we left Arthur in the last film. Joker: Folie à Deux will hit theaters on October 4th.

Trying to describe Echo Point Nova, a newly released PC shooter, is a tricky thing. I could describe it as a game that mixes Titanfall’s movement, modern Doom’s gunplay, Minecraft’s destructibility, Skyward Sword’s floating islands, and wicked rad hoverboarding into one oddball package—though that probably just makes…

Tulsa King season 2 premiered on Paramount+ last week, and according to Deadline, it broke a series record with 5.4M active sub-households in its first seven days. The premiere drew 2M global views during its first day, which is a record for the series. Sylvester Stallone took to Instagram to celebrate the success of the new season, and he also let it slip that Tulsa King season 3 is in the works.

“I am elated and so proud of our cast because our show has gone up 75% over last year which is unheard of, and Season 2 got 100% on ROTTEN TOMATOES!” Stallone said. “Also it’s the Second most popular show in the WORLD across all streaming services! Thank you so much and we are working on the third season at this moment.” The series hasn’t been officially renewed for a third season, but with those numbers, it can’t be far off.

“Tulsa King’s return shattered records with 2M active sub households on premiere day and over 5M globally for the week, fueling Paramount+’s continued momentum as the fastest growing SVOD four years in a row,” Chris McCarthy, Paramount Global Co-CEO and President/CEO, Showtime & MTV Entertainment Studios said in a statement. “The show’s success is a testament to the combination of Sly’s star power and swagger coupled with Terry Winter’s gifted writing and the unique world building that only Taylor Sheridan can do.“

The show has clearly been gaining fans since the debut of the first season in 2022, with Paramount saying that the “season 2 premiere grew 934% compared to season 1 in social engagements in the first seven days.” Jeff Grossman, Executive Vice President of Programming at Paramount+, added, “It’s tremendous to see the premiere resonate with a record number of viewers. Stallone makes the role of Dwight Manfredi irresistibly compelling, and he is complemented by a phenomenal ensemble cast. We can’t wait to share what his unlikely crew and their formidable adversaries are up to this season.“

The official synopsis for Tulsa King season 2: “Dwight (Stallone) and his crew continue to build up and defend their growing empire in Tulsa, but just as they get their bearings, they realize that they’re not the only ones who want to stake their claim. With looming threats from the Kansas City mob and a very powerful local businessman, Dwight struggles to keep his family and crew safe while keeping track of all his affairs. Plus, he still has unfinished business back in New York.”

Our own Alex Maidy is a fan of the new season, saying it’s “as good if not better” than the first. “This new season further distinguishes itself from other Taylor Sheridan-created series rather than getting lumped in as another show from the guy who made Yellowstone,” Maidy wrote. “Tulsa King is violent, funny, and the best mob series to hit the air since The Sopranos.” You can check out the rest of his review right here.
