As Disney+ releases the six episodes of "Ms. Marvel" this summer, POPSUGAR has exclusive interviews with the cast and creators about making the show come to life. This week, director Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy chats with POPSUGAR about episode four, "Seeing Red." It was serendipitous: Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy already had two Academy Awards under her belt - from 2012 and 2016, for her documentary shorts - and was thinking about moving into narrative work when her agents told her Marvel was looking for "Ms. Marvel" directors. Both her daughters were fans of the comics, and she thought it would be a great fit. "I've been creating films and telling stories from around the world about women who have extraordinary abilities like working in healthcare and education and climate change in their communities," she tells POPSUGAR. "And I just think of them as superheroes without capes." "Partition and the 1947 story is so ingrained in all of...

It looks like a sequel to the 1997 classic "Romy and Michele's High School Reunion" is in the cards - er, Post-it Notes. On June 29, Mira Sorvino appeared on "Today" and confessed that the team is "getting closer" to a sequel project. "There's nothing official to report but I can unofficially hint that we're closer than we've ever been to getting something to happen," she said. Lisa Kudrow also hinted at a sequel on the same day when she appeared on "The Jess Cagle Show" on SiriusXM and said that the writer of the original film, Robin Schiff, is "thinking about it and coming up with something. Isn't that thrilling?" Kudrow and Sorvino previously excited fans of the beloved movie when they reunited at a party in 2019 . The pair also dropped a not-so-subtle nod to the film on Feb. 22 when they appeared together at the SAG Awards , wearing matching outfits inspired by the iconic costumes worn by their ...

Taking video games too seriously is for suckers. That appears to be the ethos behind one of the three major modes in Battlefield 2042 , anyway. EA’s beleaguered large-scale shooter recently got a shot in the arm thanks to the release of a big Season 1 update (and plenty of discounts in various sales). But anyone who picked it up for the first time in recent weeks is probably wondering what the heck “ Battlefield Portal ” means on the main menu. Aside from the default competitive modes and the more cooperative Hazard Zone mode ( which is on its last legs ), Portal is one pillar of the Battlefield 2042 experience that requires a bit of explanation. It’s for people like me who think Battlefield is at its best when you get a little silly with it, but that description alone doesn’t do it justice. Here’s a full rundown of how Battlefield Portal works. You got time travel in my Battlefield game Battlefield Portal isn’t about literal time travel, but that’s functionally what’s go...

We're aware by now that one's favourite song has the power to open a lifeline from the realm Steve calls "Vecna's red soup mind world" in Netfix's Stranger Things , like Kate Bush's "Running Up That Hill" did for Max. What would be yours? Which song do you love so much it'd drag you out of imminent peril? Spotify wants to suggest one. The music streaming platform has launched a new "Upside Down playlist" topped with your very own saviour song, one Spotify's algorithm reckons you love enough that it would save your butt. Tweet may have been deleted (opens in a new tab) According to Spotify, "The Upside Down Playlist takes some of your favorite songs and mixes them with a handful of Stranger Things classics to create a vibe strong enough to ward off Hawkins’ most fearsome foe." My own playlist seems to be exactly that, with mainly indie and '80s tracks on there. My saviour song? Apparently Dry Cleaning'...

The trailer for the new mystery film "See How They Run" is here. In it, Saoirse Ronan and Sam Rockwell star as a constable and an inspector, respectively, trying to solve a murder in 1950s London. Ronan's Constable Stalker is a rookie with penchants for puns and annoying her boss, Rockwell's Inspector Stoppard. From this first look, the film appears to have a kooky-caper vibe, similar to "Knives Out." Watch the trailer above! "See How They Run" is directed by Tom George from a screenplay by Mark Chappell. Here's how Fox Searchlight describes the plot: "In the West End of 1950s London, plans for a movie version of a smash-hit play come to an abrupt halt after a pivotal member of the crew is murdered. When world-weary Inspector Stoppard (Sam Rockwell) and eager rookie Constable Stalker (Saoirse Ronan) take on the case, the two find themselves thrown into a puzzling whodunit within the glamorously sordid theater underground, investigati...

Travis Barker was reportedly hospitalized on Tuesday in Los Angeles. As first reported by TMZ , the Blink-182 drummer was photographed getting wheeled into Cedars-Sinai Medical Center by paramedics, alongside wife Kourtney Kardashian. TMZ reported that Barker was taken to Cedars-Sinai by an ambulance after initially seeking care with Kardashian at West Hills hospital on the morning of June 28. The cause of Barker's hospitalization is still unclear. Late Tuesday evening, Barker's 16-year-old daughter Alabama posted an Instagram story, simply writing, "Please send your prayers" with a teary-eyed emoji. Other members of the Kardashian and Barker families have not yet addressed the situation. Before news of his hospitalization was public, Barker had also tweeted , "God save me." However, "God Save Me" is notably the name of a song from Machine Gun Kelly's latest album, "Mainstream Sellout," which Barker produced. A deluxe edition of t...

Picture a haunted house. Or merely a creepy one. It’s probably a Victorian Gothic something or other with a few stories and a foreboding porch, right? Creepy old abandoned houses have long been a prerequisite in horror stories, usually with overgrown lawns, too many mirrors, Big Nope attics, and white sheets draped over antique furniture that suddenly moves. Stranger Things Season 4 has met the challenge with the Creel House. Vecna's lair and pivotal anchor of evildoing, the house is one of the most important locations in the Netflix series' fourth season, and something I’d certainly avoid investigating with a torch and a bunch of pals in the middle of the night. Knock, knock. Credit: Netflix The real Creel House is located in Rome, Georgia, about an hour and a half from the city of Atlanta. Yes, it has a real address , and yes, it’s private property so do not go and march all over their lawn for your selfies or harass residents.  Creeeeeeeel! Credit: Screensho...

Let’s talk about Elden Ring . The biggest video game of 2022 so far is also, to put it bluntly, not very easy. Elden Ring is the latest in developer FromSoftware’s long-running “Soulsborne” series, which are known as much for their incredible world-building as their punishing difficulty. However, this one has reached a level of mainstream attention its predecessors didn’t. That means plenty of newcomers are banging their heads against the sometimes-not-self-explanatory wall that series veterans are used to at this point. One of the very first points of confusion is at the level up screen, which you’ll encounter just a few minutes into your adventure at the first Site of Grace outside the tutorial area. Elden Ring gives the player the freedom to dump points into one of several different stats like Vigor, Mind, and Arcane at their own pace to create the killing machine of their dreams, but you need some know-how to do that. If this is your first foray into a From game, here are th...
