In the not-too-distant future, next Sunday A.D. …well, actually, right now, on Netflix. That’s right, the cult favorite TV show Mystery Science Theater 3000 has returned, with all-new hosts, all-new Mads, and all-new voices for some familiar bots. Begun as a Kickstarter and now launching on Netflix, Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Return is conceived as a new season of the original show. It builds off of the original’s beloved past and adds a few new quirks, but maintains the basic format of a guy, his bots, and a pantheon of bad films.
The third season of Netflix’s Grace and Frankie opens with Frankie (Lily Tomlin) dancing down the beach pursued by dozens of animated vibrators—an indelible image that sets the tone for the rest of the series.

The new episodes grapple with the pair’s attempts to secure funding for and develop their project amid family squabbles, personal conflicts, and their own complicated relationship.

We're all really excited about the Blade Runner sequel today, but there's also news surrounding a sequel that some people might not be as excited about.

Bryan Cranston has shown himself to be one of Hollywood's most versatile actors, but it's easy to forget that the guy who immortalized Walter White on Breaking Bad is also a damn fine comedian.
