The Love is Blind Television Universe expansion continues. In August, Netflix released the first season of Love is Blind UK, hosted by Emma and Matt Willis, with new episodes dropping each Wednesday.
Our friends at Netflix were kind enough to share a look at Love is Blind UK season 1 before it premiered. Having watched the first four episodes, I have to admit it's so nice and refreshing to see people who genuinely seem interested in finding a connection try to make it happen on Love is Blind.
The first season of Love is Blind US felt like that, too! Watching Love is Blind UK, it seems like two things are true: none of the contestants have seen the US or other versions of this show And they all believe this experiment is actually, like, a way genuine way to find love. That's so refreshing!
By season 2, Love is Blind US...

It’s a familiar sight by now: confident singles nervously entering colorful compartments in search of romance. Behind solid walls, tentative conversations give way to deeper emotional connections—or painful farewells.
This novel approach to dating forms the core of Love is Blind, Netflix’s globally popular social experiment where looks are literally “not” everything. After conquering viewers worldwide with its unique mix of heart and hijinks, the hit show has crossed the pond with its first ever UK series.
Emma and Matt Willis kindly agreed to guide a new group of lovelorn Britons through the unusual process. While known more for music than matchmaking, both bring down-to-earth charm to their roles. Yet however good-natured the hosts, the pods remain a whirlwind setting for any soul to navigate.

Are you ready for a new batch of blind daters? Netflix is giving us a British version of the hit dating show Love Is Blind! The trailer just dropped for Love Is Blind UK, and it looks like things are about to get weird…in a good way.
Hosted by married couple Emma and Matt Willis, the show will follow the same crazy format as the US version. Thirty singles will try to find love without ever seeing what the other person looks like! They’ll chat in “pods” and hopefully form a real connection. Then, they’ll get engaged…all before laying eyes on each other for the first time outside the pods. Talk about taking a leap of faith!
Emma, known for hosting The Circle UK, kicks off the trailer by asking “Is love blind?” Her singer hubby Matt is also there to help guide people through this strange social experiment.

Casting
The forthcoming adaptation of Harlan Coben’s “Missing You” has added “Top Boy’s” Ashley Walters as Josh Buchanan, James Nesbitt (“Stay Close”) as Calligan and “Love is Blind” co-host Matt Jay-Willis as Darryl.
They’ll join Rosalind Eleazar, Jessica Plummer and Richard Armitage in the five-part series for Netflix, which tells the story of a detective whose long-lost fiancé suddenly re-appears via a dating app, forcing her to confront her father’s murder. Quay Street Productions are producing, with the location being moved from the U.S. to Manchester in the U.K.
The series follows Quay Street’s adaptation of another Harlen Coban novel, “Fool Me Once,” which was a hit for Netflix earlier this year.
Royalties
Rights management company Sacem revealed it collected a whopping €1.487 billion ($1.6 billion) in royalties on behalf of its members in 2023. The sum was 5% more than in 2022.
Of that figure, €557 million came from online,...

The group, consisting of Charlie Simpson, Matt Willis and James Bourne, were teens in Busted’s early days, and are now in their late 30s.
Although they may not have been together as Busted for a while, the group members have been very busy for the last 20 years.
So what exactly have Busted been up to for the last two decades?

This is part two of a review for Mill Creek Entertainment’s Thrillers from the Vault, 8 Classics Films. Part one can be found here.
The Devil Commands is a hell of a title, and it’s a pretty good movie too. Released in 1941, Edward Dmytryk’s spookfest stars Boris Karloff as Julian Blair, a scientist whose experiments are a family affair—his wife Helen is one of his subjects.
Blair achieves his goal—a machine that records thought processes—but on a night he should be celebrating, his wife is killed in a car crash. Something breaks inside Blair and when he discovers that Helen may continue to live on through his invention,...

Exclusive: Jason Wong, who starred alongside Matthew McConaughey, Hugh Grant and Charlie Hunnam in Guy Ritchie’s The Gentleman, is exploring Hong Kong’s most notorious gangster in a new narrative podcast series.
The actor is hosting Bad Money, a six-part series that charts the life of Big Spender, otherwise known as Cheung Tze-keung.
Beginning with cash hauls and prison breaks, over the course of the podcast we hear how Big Spender’s heists gradually became more and more extreme, until eventually he committed a crime so big that it broke records around the world and attracted the wrath of the Chinese government.
Crimes included the kidnapping of Victor Li Tzar-kuoi, son of Li Ka Shing, and Walter Kwok, chairman of Sun Hung Kai Properties, reaping billions in ransom money.
He was convicted and sentenced to death in Guangzhou at the end of 1998.

Spooky season will soon be in session at L.A.’s Center Theatre Group.
The nonprofit theater company has set Constance Wu, Finn Wittrock, Anna Camp and Adam Rothenberg to star in 2:22 — A Ghost Story, a four-person play described as an “intriguing, funny and scary supernatural thriller.” Previews at Ctg’s Ahmanson Theatre begin Oct. 29 with an official opening set for Nov. 4.

In his latest video, Kev takes to the booth to review Giles Alderson’s latest film, Wolves of War, starring Ed Westwick (Gossip Girl), Matt Willis (Busted) and Sam Gittins (Break).
Stop the war. At any cost. Based on an incredible real-life story, Decorated British officer Jack Wallace must lead a band of Allied commandos across enemy lines to rescue Professer Hopper, an American scientist held hostage by the Nazis. With information that could turn the tide of war, these unlikely heroes must traverse enemy territory with an untrained US civilian, avoiding brutal Nazi mercenaries and non-stop bombing – with the fate of the war resting on their shoulders, the outcome of this mission will change the world forever; failure is not an option. Also starring Matt Willis (co-founder of Busted). Directed by Giles Alderson (The Dare) and written by Toby Kearton (Dissonance), Samuel Christopher Ellis (Heart and Google Home) & Ben Mole...

"This mission is about more than protecting innocent, it's about protecting everyone." Blue Fox Ent. has revealed an official trailer for WWII action thriller titled Wolves of War, which will be landing direct-to-vod in September. The film is about a group of British officers who lead a team of allied commandos on an impossible mission in Bavaria near the end of the war to extract an American scientist being held hostage by the Nazis. It seems to be a low-rent, direct-to-video Saving Private Ryan, but with the added stakes of the scientist being involved in the atomic bomb program. Which is such perfect fodder for even more forgettable cinema these days. Wolves of War is directed by Giles Alderson, and stars Ed Westwick, Rupert Graves, Matt Willis, Sam Gittins, Éva Magyar, and Anastasia Martin. Usually I'm all about these kind of films but it looks like this was made on...

Lewis Milestone directed this poetic, optimistic ode to the American infantryman, a ‘lone patrol’ saga that emphasizes its soldiers’ hopes and fears. The lineup of fresh, eager acting talent is remarkable: Dana Andrews, Richard Conte, George Tyne, John Ireland, Lloyd Bridges, Sterling Holloway, Norman Lloyd, Herbert Rudley, Richard Benedict, Huntz Hall, James Cardwell, Steve Brodie. Voiceovers and ‘ballads’ give a six-mile beachhead incursion the tone of a spiritual rumination. A beautiful full film restoration brings the image back to prime quality. The controversial filmmakers and the unusual production circumstances are covered in Alan K. Rode’s commentary.

[Note: With the film hitting digital outlets next week, here’s a reposting of our review on Madness in the Methos, from the films UK debut at Frightfest last year]
Playing an alternative version of his persona, and tired of Hollywood’s perception of him, Mewes embarks on a quest to reinvent himself as a serious actor. Upon advice from his best friend Kevin Smith, he tracks down a secret book outlining all the mysteries of the Method Acting process with disastrous consequences.
Whilst Madness in the Method may feature Jason Mewes playing an alternate version of his own persona, it doesn’t stop Mewes’ film from being something of a retrospective on his real-life career And life; perfectly blending truth and fiction, life and movie, in a way that makes this film akin to the likes of JFK, American Animals and...

Sideshow Bob is probably the greatest guest character that The Simpsons ever created, and the casting of Kelsey Grammer is the biggest part of what makes this character so enduring. His voice, so rich and lyrical, brings Bob to life time and time again. His character appeared in the very first season and has gone on to appear in eleven more episodes…well…twelve actually but one of those wasn’t really a proper Bob episode…so we wont count that one.
As we approach the premiere of the 25th season of The Simpsons, I thought it would be fun to go through all those classic Sideshow Bob episodes…and rank the crap outta them! So here we go, we’ll start from the worst and work our way up to…the very best Sideshow Bob episode ever.

The 39-year-old television presenter - who hosts the programme - insists she'd be ''fine'' locked in the mansion but doesn't think her husband Matt Willis would cope well. She said: ''We'd be fine as a couple but I think we'd be boring TV. We'd be terrified, so we'd just sit in a corner going, 'Oh my God, what are we doing?' ''Matt would go out of his brain with boredom because he always has to have something to do.'' And Emma's co-host Rylan Clark - who previously appeared in the show - believes it...

Later this month (27 Sep to be exact) the 27th season of The Simpsons is set to premiere on Fox, with fans of the show eagerly anticipating seeing what hijinks Springfield’s best-loved family will get up to next.
Storylines already confirmed for this season (by executive producer Al Jean in an interview with Variety) include Homer and Marge legally separating and Homer falling in love with his pharmacist, as well as the long-awaited return of Plopper, a.k.a. Spider-Pig. However, the one that has arguably got most people talking, is that in this year’s Treehouse of Horror episode Sideshow Bob will finally achieve his dream of killing Bart.
Sideshow Bob’s history with Bart actually dates back right back to Season 1’s Krusty Gets Busted, which first aired over 25 years ago. In this episode Sideshow Bob framed Bart’s hero, TV star Krusty the Clown, for robbing the Kwik-e-Mart.

Non-stop flatulence, a dead possum, and being too darn sexy. Are these the most ridiculous I'm a Celebrity fights in the history of the jungle?
After Croc campmates Melanie Sykes and Vicki Michelle bickered over a pencil in last night's show (November 26), we reminisce over some of the silliest spats over the years.
From Brian Harvey's continual wind to Darren Day being too darn sexy - here are 10 absurd jungle rumbles:
1. Darren Day's too sexy for the jungle?
Sizzling sexual chemistry or far too much flatulence? It was almost impossible to keep up with Darren Day and Tara Palmer-Tomkinson's love/hate relationship in the 2002 series.
Palmer-Tomkinson shocked the entire nation as she revealed the root of their tension was all down to Day's unbridled sexiness, shouting: "I'll tell you why I am very uptight. It's because I think you are so f**king sexy."

Marc Platt has revealed that the Wicked movie is "still a number of years down the line".
In an interview with Coming Soon, the producer explained that he is in no rush to make the new motion picture as the stage show is still incredibly popular with fans.
"The movie of Wicked is still a number of years down the line," he said. "We've just started its development, because the show's still so strong with eight or nine companies around the world.
"That's coming in the future. That's why I haven't been in a hurry, because it works so well on stage and audiences are enjoying it.
"It's not a timely story, it's a timeless [story], so I've been very sanguine to let folks explore it theatrically and when we're ready we'll make a movie."
The musical, featuring songs such as 'Defying Gravity', recently became the 13th longest-running musical in West End history.
