FX posted a scene from American Horror Story: 13 on Tuesday, and it is Jessica Lange's Fiona Goode and Angela Bassett's Marie Laveau standing in what appears to be the afterlife, insulting each other's hair. The fandom cannot agree on whether that is a reunion or a relapse.

Disney is selling Endgame Encore on four scenes nobody has seen. As of this morning everybody has seen them, in phone-camera quality, and the takedown notices are going out faster than the reposts. Three of the four are not really Endgame at all.

Elizabeth Holmes invited the cameras in 34 days before prison — Nathan Fielder's A24 film is at 100% on Rotten Tomatoes
Every previous account of Theranos was assembled from the outside — court records, ex-employees, a Hulu series. This one was shot from inside the house, by a comedian who does not let people finish their own version of events, and it arrives with a perfect critics’ score.

Julia Stiles landed 16 out of 30 on Viral Hits Night, and the half of the scoring that can still save her never went on screen
Dancing With the Stars ran Viral Hits Night on Tuesday, and Julia Stiles came out of it with 16 points from a possible 30 — joint second-lowest on the board. On this show that is not the same thing as being in trouble, and the reason sits in the half of the result the cameras never show you.

Survivor 51 revives the million-dollar coin flip, and this time calling it wrong does not burn the money

The lead of Netflix's Atypical needs $4,000 by 30 September to keep health insurance, and Jack Haven is asking anyone at all to hire them
An actor with a four-season Netflix series, an A24 lead and nine award nominations sat down in front of a phone last weekend and offered to take almost any job on almost any set.

The first Digger reactions split critics in half — and both halves describe the same Tom Cruise film. So what is it actually about?
Warner Bros. lifted the embargo on Digger this week and the verdicts came back at war with each other. The fight is narrower than it looks: the people who loved Tom Cruise’s new picture and the people who hated it agree on nearly every fact about it.

Mahershala Ali agrees Blade was the biggest failure of Kevin Feige's career — so where did the year he spent training for it go?
Kevin Feige called Marvel’s failure to make Blade with Mahershala Ali the biggest of his career. Ali has now said he agrees — and in the same conversation added up what those seven years took from him. A year of training. A blown knee. A city he moved his family to for nothing.

Netflix renewed Crew Girl twelve days in, after the show got bigger in week two instead of smaller

Disney+ ordered the Darkwing Duck reboot six years after it was announced, and Mark Hamill is playing the duck
