Here's what's in this week's newsletter:
Ono: Welcome to Derry – watch: The most terrifying show of the year (free)
Damn this show! Pennywise returns to his beloved in the new HBO prequel series directed by Andy Muschietti This And This is Chapter Two. A new part of the franchise. Ono: Welcome to Derrytakes us back to the 1960s and things will never be the same. The series takes place in 1962. It allows fans to see what happens when Derry begins to experience some very unusual things, starting with the disappearance of a little boy. Bill Skarsgård returns as the creepy and famous clown Pennywise as we see him begin to terrorize people in this town.
The first episode of this show is BONKERS. I don’t even want to say anything else, I’m afraid I’ll spoil it for you. If you love horror, you need to move this show to the top of your watch list. This is an excellent continuation of the horror that Muschietti began in This movies, but for some reason they seem boring. I can't recommend this terrible show enough.
The way home — Follow: A very exciting journey through time
I've spent the last week watching The way homeso naturally I have to recommend it here. Starring Chyler Leigh, Sadie Laflamme-Snow and Andie MacDowell, the series follows three generations of Landry women as they live together in the small town of Port Haven. Following a life-changing event 20 years ago, Kat (Leigh) and her daughter Alice (Laflamme-Snow) return to town as Kat tries to reconnect with her estranged mother Del (McDowell). While everything may seem normal, the Landry family is far from it, and Alice soon discovers that she can time travel through her family's past. As secrets are revealed and past mistakes are repeated, all three women learn more about their family's history and each other's.
Yes, yes, this show is on Hallmark, but it fills a void that the CW left me. The cast is very good, the series is very rewarding and it also knows how to deliver plot twist after twist. Why did I gasp at the TV as if I was watching a prestigious HBO series?! If you're just looking for a fun and light-hearted TV series, I highly recommend canceling your plans and watching the whole thing The way home (because I have theories and I need to discuss them ASAP).
To celebrate the return Nobody wants this — and the chemistry of Noah and Joanna — we had Adam Brody and Kristen Bell play with puppies answering a lot of questions. They talked about the cast's group chat, how Justine Lupe would likely break character while filming a scene, how it happened working with Leighton Meesterand what each of them thinks about Noah and Joanna's green (and red) flags.
Outside of the show, Adam and Kristen also took time to talk about roles they auditioned for but didn't get, such as how Kristen auditioned. confusedand this failed audition led to her landing the role of Anna in Frozen. You can see all this cuteness below:
This week was Halloween night. Dancing with the Stars. Not only did each couple perform a dance, but the show also brought back the dance marathon for extra points. There was also drama in the ballroom as Elaine Hendricks was unable to perform this week. due to injury during rehearsal.
Personally, my favorite dances this week were Jordan Chiles and Ezra Sosa's. modern “The Elastic Heart” by Robert Irwin and Witney Carson. Argentine tango “Sweet Dreams (Made of This),” as well as songs by Alix Earle and Val Chmerkovskiy. tango to “Bury a Friend.” Robert and Alix also scored their first top tens of the season! In the end, Jen Affleck and Ian Ravnic were unfortunately eliminated from the game, and Whitney Leavitt didn't look too upset…
So here are some of the funniest (and best) reactions from this week. DVTS episode:
Netflix has also officially released the film's trailer. Stranger Things Season 5. The final season takes place in the fall of 1987. The latest season follows our group as they have one goal: to find and kill Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower). As Hawkins continues to deal with opening rifts and other general chaos, the city's quarantine tightens and a new hunt begins for Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown). The final battle is upon us, and when the entire group is ready to fight together, anything can happen. Look, I was excited in this trailer when Jonathan (Charlie Heaton) hugs to all the children. So Will (Noah Schnapp) finally meeting face to face with Vecna!!! HUGE!
I'm ready for this show to end, but I know it will destroy me emotionally. The final season will be divided into three parts: the first volume will be released on November 26, the second volume will be released on December 25, and the finale will be released on New Year's Eve. Each installment will be released on Netflix at 8:00 pm ET/5:00 pm PT. You can watch the full trailer by clicking below:

What was the best comedy TV show before 1980?
My favorite comedy show of the time that I grew up watching was Soap. My mom bought me a DVD box set for Christmas one year because she thought I'd like it, and I watched it within a week or so. This is such a smart and funny comedy series with an incredible cast and a crazy plot.
You can't call yourself a true comedy fan unless you've seen Katherine Helmond as Jessica Tate and Robert Guillaume as Benson. These are two of the best television characters. In addition, Billy Crystal played first openly gay character on prime time television with his picture of Jodie. You can actually watch the first episode for free on YouTube. Here.
Well, that's all I have for this week's episode. Screen time. Check back every week for more TV and film recommendations, which celebrities we work with, and more!
