While it is safe to say that the film industry has survived to 2025, one of the greatest casualties of the Hollywood strikes of 2023 has been the entertainment industry’s diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts. The continued push into Hollywood consolidation inevitably leads to debt, which leads to developmental programs and jobs being cut. Warner Bros. Discovery and the Paramount/Skybound merger are only the most recent examples of this.

But one could argue there is also a growing sentiment that media CEOs are simply no longer interested or invested in putting more effort into diversity. Consider it a backlash to the backlashes of 2016 and 2020, the very ones that focused on pushing Hollywood to empower more filmmakers who are women and/or people of color. While the most recent USC Annenberg Inclusion Initiative study does not quite show a decline in inclusion, it does reveal that the progress in finding, elevating,...

Warner Bros Motion Pictures Group and MRC’s feature adaptation of Wuthering Heights from Oscar winner Emerald Fennell will hit theaters on Feb. 13, 2026.

The Margot Robbie-Jacob Elordi starring, LuckyChap production based on the Emily Brontë novel is a clear destination for female audiences over that period. Already on Feb. 13, 2026 is another female-demo movie, Universal’s feature take of Colleen Hoover novel, Reminders of Him. Sony also has the animated feature, Goat from Tyree Dillihay.

Hong Chau, Alison Oliver and Shazad Latif also star in Wuthering Heights.

Robbie is set to star as Catherine Earnshaw, and Elordi will play Heathcliff. Fennell adapted the 1847 novel and is prepping for a UK shoot early next year. The original story follows two families, the Earnshaws and the Lintons and the turbulent relationship they have with the Earnshaws’ foster son, Heathcliff. Plot details on Fennell’s version are unknown at this time.

When Bob's Burgers first hit screens in 2011, it was clear that the show wanted to do something different. While its competitors, like Family Guy and The Simpsons, wanted to show a more bleak side of family life, Bob's Burgers charmed its audience with its adorable domestics. The Belcher family is built on love, and that's what makes them one of the best-animated tribes on television.

Yet, not every character is as cheerful as the Belchers. Some characters act as contrasts to the family, proving to the audience that sadness and injustice still reside in this colorful fictional world. Regular Sized Rudy may seem like an ordinary fourth grader, but hidden beneath the surface is a very sad little boy who still has the ability to tug on the viewers' heartstrings.

Rudys Family Troubles Isolate Him From Others

Rudy makes his first appearance on the show in Season 3, Episode 22, "Carpe Museum,...

In collaboration with the NBA, Sony will open the pic in theaters on Feb 13, 2026, timed to the NBA’s All-Star weekend, which is taking place in Los Angeles Feb. 13-15.

NBA star Stephen Curry is often brought up in the conversation about GOATs — the greatest basketball players of all time.

While the four-time NBA champion and two-time Mvp’s ranking might be debatable, Curry is making his Goat connection official — by producing a sports comedy movie by the same name for Sony Pictures Animation.

Curry and his Unanimous Media co-founder Erick Peyton will produce the film alongside Academy Award nominee Michelle Raimo Kouyate, and Modern Magic’s Adam Rosenberg (“Creed 3”) and Academy Award winner Rodney Rothman (“Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse”).

“With ‘Goat,’ we look forward to uplifting audiences with diverse characters and heartwarming storylines that will have you rooting for the underdog,” stated Peyton and Curry about the movie, which is aimed at families and sports fans alike.

Girls, “Two Plane Rides”

Written by Lena Dunham

Directed by Lena Dunham

Aired March 23rd, 2014

Do you remember how last season’s Girls run ended? Well this season things culminated in an entirely different tone. This time, there were no grand gestures or fireworks. Season three isn’t quite as dark as season two, but man is the finale rough. If the season two finale frustrated fans because it suggested that Hannah might be too dependent on the man in her life, the season three finale seems intent on underlining that Hannah’s ready to move on, with or without Adam. And she isn’t the only one moving on, but she seems to be the only one moving in the right direction: Hannah gets into the country’s best grad school, Adam gives a truly “bad” performance in his Broadway debut, Marnie finds herself in another destructive relationship, Shosh...

When weathering a political climate of hate, one coping mechanism is satire. Animators Wayne Stamps, David Corbett, and Tyree Dillihay employ this technique well. B-Rock: The First Term is a new web series featuring our Commander in Chief as a chain-smoking smooth talker with William Shatner's cadence who turns into a hulking mass of muscle when he doesn't get his Cool nicotine fix. All the hyperbolic trappings of cartooned political commentary are present, including an emaciated Ann Coulter making ludicrous claims about the President's past, a Barack Obama who's good with the ladies and soft on criminals, and a Rahm Emanuel who yells a lot of expletives. The series is like Current's SuperNews with a focus on the White House. Stamps created B-Rock and Stamps, Corbett, and Dillihay are all on board as executive producers. Aaron Simpson at Cold Hard Flash reports the trio have completed 12 episodes of the series.
