Each one of our fabulous celebrity super-guessers donned their own uniform, proton pack included, and really played into the fun of it all. Who hasn't dreamed of catching ghosts like the Ghostbusters? Would this have been a strong theme to do during a fall season? Absolutely? But listen, if Ernie Hudson, the Og Ghostbuster is available for a cameo, why not celebrate the film in March? With the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man ever-present all evening long, the show tried oh-so hard to tie in the performances to the theme. Again, maybe tossing this theme...

It’s Wednesday night, and you know what that means. Another celebrity had to go home on The Masked Singer season 13, episode 5.

Caution: This post contains Spoilers for The Masked Singer season 13, episode 5.

It was Ghostbusters Night on the series, and that meant a few Ghostbusters and scary clues. Mckenna Grace and Ernie Hudson both made some guest appearances — one of them in person — to deliver some clues for the remaining four Group B singers.

There were a few clues that helped to cement a couple of ideas. I’m sticking with my theory that James Van Der Beek is Griffin, based on Mckenna Grace saying she co-starred with the person under the mask and that he was a great dad on the set. Grace played Van Der Beek’s daughter in CSI: Cyber.

I also fully agree with Rita and Jenny that it’s Flavor Flav under the Space Ranger mask.

Spoiler Alert: Details follow for Season 13, Episode 5 of “The Masked Singer,” “Ghostbusters Night,” which aired March 12 on Fox.

If there’s something strange in your neighborhood, who ya gonna call? Not 911, because as a wise man once said, “911 is a Joke.” That wise man was Flava Flav, and yeah boyeeee, he was the latest celebrity to be revealed Wednesday on Fox’s hit music competition series “The Masked Singer.” Flav was unmasked as the Space Ranger, during the show’s “Ghostbusters” themed night.

So get up and get get get down. Flavor Flav was eliminated for singing The Bus Boy’s “Cleaning Up the Town.” Flav told Variety that participating in “The Masked Singer” was a bucket list item for him, even if he was gone too soon.

“I love surprising people and fooling people,” he said. “I love being like that, the center of attention. When I saw my episode last night,...

The following contains spoilers for Presence, in theaters now.

Horror tends to be at its best when it’s blended with other genres. Horror comedies and sci-fi horror movies have both blossomed into full blown subgenres. Yet just when it seems there's nothing else that could possibly be combined with some great scares, Steven Soderbergh’s Presence spices up the genre by tinkering with its form and tone.

Presence centers on Chloe (played by Callina Liang), a high schooler reeling from the unexpected loss of her best friend Nadia. Alongside her parents, Rebecca and Chris (Lucy Liu and Chris Sullivan), and her brother Tyler (Eddy Maday), she moves into a new home -- one where the family’s every move is being watched. Presence is a film for slow-burn horror lovers, marrying a nearly tragic family drama with an eerie meditation on grief and a topical edge to give audiences a unique experience.

We know not all shows will make it through a year, but that doesn’t mean we have to be happy about cancellations. NBC opted to cancel four shows in 2024, and another one is on the move to a streaming platform. Let’s take a look back at what we won’t watch in 2025.

The 2023–2024 TV season was certainly an odd one. With the writers strike and then the actors strike throughout the summer and fall of 2023, it made it much harder to get our favorite shows back. Most of them were held for the midseason, but others were able to get fall slots.

You would think that the fall slots would allow for a success. Sadly, that wasn’t the case for one series in particular. Meanwhile, another was canceled even before the strike action started, but didn’t officially end until 2024.
