Silo was never on my radar because I didn’t have Apple TV up until this current season of Formula 1. And this season of F1 for the U.S. meant needing an Apple TV subscription to watch, so obviously I had to do just that, and promptly linked it to the F1 app. A few months later I finally went on the Apple TV with my partner to add random TV shows and movies to our watch-list. She mentioned that she read Silo and heard that the show was pretty good.

At this point it isn’t new news that Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz are reprising their roles in the next installment of The Mummy. It was a long time coming and fans are rejoicing. To this day, The Mummy is still one of the greats, and their chemistry had a lot do with it.

I’m gonna be honest. I completely forgot that there was going to be a crossover film about Transformers and G.I. Joe. And why wouldn’t I forget? Sure, they were preparing for the crossover, with a character from the Transformers movies being approached by a G.I. Joe recruiter, but it was ultimately forgettable in an equally forgettable movie. Maybe I’m being a bit harsh, but do you remember much from Transformers: Rise of the Beasts?

It appears that heartthrob Jensen Ackles will grace our televisions on two shows instead of one, at the same time. Clearly, absolutely no one has a problem with this. Not only will Ackles star in The Boys spinoff, Vought Rising, but he will also star in MGM+’s Rules of Prey.
