With powers like hers, she'll need a costume
I’m still kicking myself for not watching Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist sooner. I’ll never forget the onslaught of commercials all throughout the 2019 holiday season, all of which successfully sold one key concept — a young woman can hear people’s thoughts and feelings through song. All of the ads had an exceedingly upbeat, colorful, and fun-loving vibe and while that most certainly could appeal to some, it just wasn’t what I was looking for at the time. A week-to-week network TV musical comedy? Nah. I’m more into my edgier streaming service binge watches. …

Jennifer Morrison’s How I Met Your Mother character Zoey disappeared after her season 6 break-up with Ted Mosby, but what happened to her?
Ruben Fleischer has expressed an interest in making a standalone movie focused on a breakout character from Zombieland: Double Tap.
Zombieland is not a classic. It was a sleeper hit in 2009, it helped further boost the careers of rising stars Jesse Eisenberg and Emma Stone, and was a breakthrough for writers Rhett Reese & Paul Wernick as well as director Ruben Fleischer. That’s not to say that Zombieland is a bad movie. Far from it, the movie holds up surprisingly well as a blend of sweet and cute tone mixed with R-rated comedy. You probably can’t quote a single line from Zombieland, but we all had a good laugh at the Bill Murray cameo. All of …
