The menacing green puppets in Joe Dante’s 1984 classic, Gremlins, have long been regarded as some of cinema’s most beloved practical effects.

In the Christian world, faith is often a matter of endings—of knowing what to anticipate from them, even if the believer can’t possibly know when theirs will arrive. On Evil, the end is finally here, and none of its characters are taking it very well. The unlikely Paramount+ cult hit about a team of “assessors” hired by the Catholic Church to investigate alleged instances of supernatural happenings ended on Thursday with an open-ended sense of closure. Across four bonus episodes appended to the current (and, for now, final) season, Evil tidied up unfinished business following Paramount’s decision not to move forward with a fifth season. Creators Robert and Michelle King are trying to get the show picked up by another network, but until that happens—if it ever does—Evil will remain suspended in limbo. Those last four episodes were written with knowledge of the show’s fate, and they serve as a coda for what will be remembered as one of the great series of its era.

Meghan Markle's venture into the lifestyle space has not been met with universal acclaim, particularly from one well-known figure: Martha Stewart.

The brand immediately drew comparisons to other celebrity wellness empires, particularly that of culinary icon Martha Stewart. However, these comparisons have reportedly struck a nerve with Stewart, who finds them both "irritating and insulting."

During my childhood, when my family visited relatives “across the river,” in Bayou Plaquemine, Bayou Goula, Caddo, the Pointe, and White Castle, my siblings and I would sometimes race up and down the levees, some distance away from the cows grazing there. At the summit of the hill, you could see the Mississippi River waters through stands of trees and brush. It never occurred to me that our “playground” was the living testimony of Black men, prisoners of the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola whom the state of Louisiana had re-enslaved in the convict leasing system.
