If you’re excited to see the new Mortal Kombat movie, which hits theaters and HBO Max on April 23, you’re also probably walking in with some familiar expectations. You’ll see iconic characters like the icy Cryomancer Sub-Zero and the ferocious ninja Scorpion. Fighters will vanquish their foes with extremely graphic “fatalities.” And, never fear, you’ll hear that iconic Mortal Kombat theme music — the pounding, rapid techno beat interrupted by a bellowing “Mor-tal Kom-baaaaat!

Zach Kornfeld and Keith Habersberger. The Try Guys — the former Buzzfeed employees turned independent YouTuber foursome turned accidental gossip vortexes — are down another guy. Eugene Lee Yang, a founding member of the group, is departing, leaving just two members. The previous loss was Ned Fulmer, and if you don’t remember that drama, then either read this or live in bliss. Zach Kornfeld and Keith Habersberger will remain Try Guys.

‘Structurally Sound’ is a recurring feature where each week a different structurally unusual, rule-breaking anomaly of an episode from a comedy series is examined. “That’s it, work it out Thinkenstein…” The Venture Bros. is sort of the television equivalent to a Dickens novel. It moves to the beat of its own drum, going down weird wormholes that expand the show’s universe while halting the story. The evolution of this world and the characters within it is unlike anything seen in most animated programs.

Finally, the real stars of Easter Sunday might be getting their feature treatment. According to Deadline, Marshmallow Peeps, best known for bulking out Easter baskets and tasting significantly better when slightly stale, are the latest handful of childhood nostalgia to be squeezed for their sweet, sweet original IP. An animated film starring the squishy confections is reportedly in development from The Mauritanian producers Christine and Mark Holder of Wonder Street, which has acquired the rights to the candy and hopes to give the tiny neon chickens their very own Trolls treatment.

In his introduction to the season-four scripts, Succession’s showrunner outlines his path to the final shot. “I remember just a couple of times being emotional as I wrote or rewrote. Once in Logan’s death episode, which came in a tumble, the long middle section barely revised after its first draft, when Shiv calls her dying or dead father ‘Daddy.’” Photo-Illustration: Vulture; Photos: HBO When Succession was commissioned by HBO, I had previously managed to produce a grand total of one hour of filmed television drama as a solo writer.

The Today show is supposed to be relaxing, uplifting, and feel-good 364 days of the year. But on Halloween, it turns into a literal nightmare just for funsies. This year, each of the anchors dressed up as a famous dancer (a very loose term) and performed that person’s famous dance, the full versions of which are on Today. The costumes themselves are actually decent, unlike when they all dressed up as Peanuts characters and ruined millions of childhoods.

In Tower Heist, the latest action-comedy from Brett Ratner, Ben Stiller plays the dedicated chief of staff at an extremely fancy Manhattan apartment building (think Hector Elizando in Pretty Woman, or Michael J. Fox in For Love of Money) known as the Tower. This being a Brett Ratner movie, that this name immediately calls to mind the Twin Towers is both entirely intentional and totally meaningless. Instead, Ratner’s focused on another story ripped from the headlines.

Warning: Deep spoilers for Manifest season four, part two, lie ahead. The wild ride that is the mystery drama Manifest ends with its final ten episodes on Netflix and, not surprising anyone who’s watched the series, things only get wilder as it draws to a close. The second half of season four sees the passengers of the ill-fated Flight 828 — which disappeared for five and a half years back in 2013 before returning with everyone intact, albeit now with the ability to receive “callings” about the future (which actually turn out to be memories, IT’S FINE) — facing down the apocalypse.
