Season 5 of Stranger Things is now more than a month old–and still people are hoping a secret season finale episode will redeem what many thought was a less than strong conclusion to the long running show..
Matthew Modine, PAPA for fans, was replying to comments on Instagram when he .. well.. gave some seemingly off the cuff and blunt thoughts about the finale of the show he was a star in..
For your own enjoyment, it was a ‘nope’ heard around the upside down!
The same Matthew Modine of course who also posted an interesting video of himself walking down a hall to 11’s room only days after the season finale..
#conformitygate why aren’t we already discussing the fact that matthew modine (dr. brenner) posted this on his instagram with no context? pic.twitter.com/D49fO8Wa9e
A new movie coming out on March 13th .. which, incidentally, is a Friday. Perfect timing .. is Undertone. It looks to be a really cool psychological horror movie about a podcast.
Undertone follows Evy, the co-host of a paranormal podcast who has built her brand on skepticism while her partner leans into belief. When Evy returns home to care for her dying mother, she begins receiving a series of mysterious audio recordings from an anonymous source. The recordings, said to be captured by a married couple experiencing strange phenomena in their home, contain unsettling sounds that defy easy explanation.
As Evy listens to each new file, the line between the recordings and her own reality begins to blur. The noises seep into her waking life, triggering paranoia, obsession, and a creeping sense that something is not just being heard… but responding. Rather than relying on gore or traditional jump scares, Undertone appears to lean heavily into atmosphere and sound design — turning audio itself into the weapon. It’s psychological horror rooted in suggestion, implication, and the terrifying power of what we can’t quite understand.
This movie looks really good. It has a great tone, a strong concept, and the potential to be something special. One of my favorite liminal horror films of the last 20 years has been Pontypool. That movie centered on a radio host during a strange outbreak, where words themselves began to unravel and reality started slipping through language. The horror wasn’t about gore or blood, it was about the ticking time bomb of strangeness inside your own brain, the kind you can’t quite process.
The trailer for this new film seems to carry a bit of that same energy .. and hopefully a lot more. The idea of a podcast serving as the framework for a modern horror story feels incredibly timely.
We’ll avoid walking under ladders and crossing paths with black cats on Friday the 13th… but we definitely won’t be avoiding this movie.
‘DC is moving into the horror world at the box office with a comic book horror movie Clayface..
That movie had been set for theatrical release via Warner Bros. on September 11, 2026.
Clayface will now release in theaters on October 23, 2026.
A lot of people didn’t really even know this was being made.. The movie is being compared to David Cronenberg’s The Fly and centers on an actor who injects himself with a substance to remain relevant, only to find out that he can reshape his face and form, becoming a walking piece of clay.
And the best part of all? It is a Mike Flanagan project! He did the screen play.. Even James Gunn said that he was not changing the sreenplay and he was a Flanagan fan himself.
But why isn’t Flanagan at the helm? Being too busy..
Flanagan’s commitment to other projects, including his take on Carrie, ultimately forced him to step back just as DC Studios was ready to fast-track the movie..
Back in November 2025, SCREEN RANT talked to Flanagan.. Flanagan said he was inspired by Batman: The Animated Series, specifically the two-part episode “Feat of Clay,” featuring Ron Perlman as the voice of the tragic villain.
“No, when we first started talking about Clayface, I hadn’t seen what Matt [Reeves] was up to. So it went all the way back to ‘Feat of Clay’, that incredible two-parter with Ron Perlman voicing the character, which was so formative for me as a kid,” Flanagan told Screen Rant.
Brad Arnold has died after a battle with kidney cancer. The 3 Doors Down singer was diagnosed in May of 2025. He was just 47-years old.
“With heavy hearts, we share the news that Brad Arnold, founder, lead singer, and songwriter of 3 Doors Down, passed away on Saturday, February 7, at the age of 47,” the band shared in a statement.
The band also shared that Brad “passed away peacefully” surrounded by his wife and family.
3 Doors Down, formed in 1996 in Escatawpa, Mississippi, rose to popularity in 2000 with the Arnold-penned single “Kryptonite,” which peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100. Other hits included “When I’m Gone” and “Here Without You,” both top-five singles on the Billboard Hot 100. The band has been described as post-grunge, alternative rock and hard rock.
In 2017, he revealed that he had been diagnosed with stage 4 kidney cancer, a life-altering moment that forced him to step away from touring temporarily and reevaluate his priorities. Arnold publicly credited his Christian faith with helping him endure the physical and emotional toll of treatment..
May he find peace in wherever the universe took his soul to..
