Josh Gates heads to the setting of, as he describes it, “the greatest movie ever,” on Expedition Unknown season 16, episode five. The Expedition Unknown host treks to the Oregon coast on a The Goonies-inspired treasure hunt. A discovery on the coast may confirm the truth behind a local legend and offer additional insight into activity along Oregon’s coast 300 years ago.

Season 16, episode five, will air on Wednesday, December 3, 2025 at 9pm ET/PT on Discovery Channel.
Discovery Channel offers this description of season 16 and of The Goonies-inspired episode:
“World explorer Josh Gates embarks on his most ambitious expeditions to date, cutting through myth and legend to unearth lost artifacts and historic treasures across the globe in an all-new season of Expedition Unknown. Leading viewers on high-stakes and off-the-map investigations, Gates teams up with Gold Rush’s Parker Schnabel to chase a multi-million dollar treasure from an infamous stagecoach heist, plunges into the icy Baltic Sea searching for a lost Nazi submarine, braves crocodile-infested waters in Nicaragua to hunt down Cornelius Vanderbilt’s lost steamship and more.
For the 40th anniversary of The Goonies, Josh Gates heads to the Oregon coast to search for the real-life pirate treasure that inspired his all-time favorite movie. On the rocky shores of the Pacific, he finds pieces of a Spanish galleon that wrecked in 1694.”

Prime Video offers this lengthy description of the thriller and key characters:
From Emmy-nominated writer, executive producer, and showrunner Liz Sarnoff (Barry, Lost) comes Scarpetta, a chilling crime thriller that unfolds across two timelines. This dual narrative explores Kay Scarpetta’s (Kidman) journey from her beginnings as a Chief Medical Examiner in the late ’90s to her present-day return to her hometown, where she resumes her former position while investigating a grisly murder. As Scarpetta pursues justice, she must navigate complicated relationships, including the fraught dynamic with her sister Dorothy Farinelli (Curtis), confront long-held professional and personal grudges, and face secrets that threaten to unravel everything she’s built.
Cannavale stars as Detective Pete Marino, with Baker as FBI profiler Benton Wesley and DeBose as Kay’s tech-savvy niece Lucy Watson. The series’ dual timeline is completed by Rosy McEwen, Amanda Righetti, Jake Cannavale, and Hunter Parrish, who portray the past versions of Kidman, Curtis, Cannavale, and Baker’s characters, respectively.

BAFTA Award winner Eva Green has signed on to season three of Netflix’s Wednesday as Morticia Addams’ sister, Ophelia. Commenting on her new role, Green said, “I’m thrilled to join the woefully twisted world of Wednesday as Aunt Ophelia. This show is such a deliciously dark and witty world, I can’t wait to bring my own touch of cuckooness to the Addams family.”
Green’s credits include Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children, Dirty Angels, Liaison, The Luminaries, and Penny Dreadful.
“Eva Green has always brought an exhilarating, singular presence to the screen—elegant, haunting, and beautifully unpredictable. Those qualities make her the perfect choice for Aunt Ophelia. We’re excited to see how she transforms the role and expands Wednesday’s world,” said creators, showrunners, and writers Al Gough and Miles Millar.
The popular series launched in November 2022, with season two delayed because of the strikes. It finally arrived in August 2025 and sits as the fourth most watched English-language series in Netflix’s history.
Jenna Ortega stars as Wednesday Addams, Emma Myers plays Enid Sinclair, Hunter Doohan is Tyler Galpin, Joy Sunday is Bianca Barclay, and Moosa Mostafa is Eugene Ottinger. Georgie Farmer is Ajax Petropolus, Isaac Ordonez is Pugsley Addams, Billie Piper is Isadora Capri, and Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo is Sheriff Ritchie Santiago.
The series also features Victor Dorobantu as Thing, Evie Templeton as Agnes DeMille, Luis Guzmán as Gomez Addams, Catherine Zeta-Jones as Morticia Addams, Joanna Lumley as Grandmama Hester Frump, and Fred Armisen as Uncle Fester.
Executive producers include Alfred Gough, Miles Millar, and Tim Burton.
Throughout the history of cinema there have been great famous detective partners, including Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, Batman and Robin, and Lethal Weapons’ Riggs and Murtaugh. Joining that list are Hopps and Wilde, taking on the second biggest case of their careers in the animated sequel Zootopia 2.
Bunny Judy Hopps (voiced by Ginnifer Goodwin, Once Upon a Time) is determined to show all her police co-workers that she and her new partner, Nick Wilde the fox (voiced by Jason Bateman, Black Rabbit), are the dream team of partners. Unfortunately, in their desire to crack a smuggling case, they ignore orders and get caught up in a high-profile chase that causes lots of property damage in Zootopia.
Furious about their behavior, Chief Bogg (voiced by Idris Elba, A House of Dynamite) gives them an ultimatum: partners counseling to learn to work better together or he’ll split them up. They also need to lie low for a while.
Judy agrees, but she has no intention of lying low. After the high-speed chase, Judy noticed shed snakeskin at the crime scene. That’s strange because, as Nick says, “No snake has set foot in Zootopia forever.” Judy won’t be stopped and Nick finally agrees to join her investigation.
A snake sneaks into the Zootopia gala and attempts a heist, and Hopps and Wilde give chase. When Judy catches up to him, he declares, “Snakes aren’t the bad guys. I have to set things right and when I do, my family will finally be able to come home.”
Judy realizes he’s telling the truth and lets him escape. Hopps and Wilde’s “off the books” investigation leads to the discovery of a new mystery that involves a secret reptile population. The investigation will test their partnership and may even threaten to break it up.
Bright, action-packed, and visually stunning, Zootopia 2 is a funny, emotional, and creative mystery adventure with fantastic animation and a wonderful voice cast. Ginnifer Goodwin returns as the voice of Judy Hopps, who’s still upbeat and positive but now also determined to prove to everyone that she and Nick are the greatest partners of all time. Goodwin brings Judy to life once again with such energy and hopefulness that she’s impossible not to like and root for.
Jason Bateman returns as the sly fox Nick Wilde, whose life as a con artist is over and who just wants to be Judy’s partner. Bateman is perfect, giving Nick his devil-may-care attitude but also showing later in the film that although Judy’s main goal is to solve the case, Nick’s is to make sure Judy is safe. It’s the friendship and chemistry between these two characters that’s the heart and soul of the film.
The introduction of the new character Gary, a blue pit viper snake (voiced by Oscar winner Ke Huy Quan, Everything, Everywhere All at Once) and the mystery that surrounds him is also a plus and a big part of the film. However, the addition of Nibbles, the conspiracy-believing beaver (voiced by Fortune Feimster, FUBAR) who helps Hopps and Wilde on their case, quickly goes from odd but helpful to just plain annoying.
The animation and visual designs are breathtaking. Especially wondrous is the new secret area called Marsh Market and the chase through it. Also impressive is the Zootopia Gala with its lavish colors and dazzling look.
The writing is clever and witty with some very funny, laugh-out-loud lines. And of course there are positive messages for children about loyalty, not judging a book by its cover, and friendship. There is, however, a scene late in the film where Judy and Nick are both in serious danger, which might be too intense and upsetting for children under seven.
Still, with plenty of heart, glorious animation, fun action, and an extremely talented voice cast, Zootopia 2 is just as much fun as the critically acclaimed original film.

NBC’s Brilliant Minds season two, episode nine, features guest star Eric Dane as a firefighter diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease). Dane confirmed in April 2025 that he was diagnosed with ALS and has become active as an advocate for ALS treatment and research.
(The following is a recap of season two, episode nine, and contains spoilers.)
Matthew (Dane) shows up for his monthly checkup with Dr. Oliver Wolf (Zachary Quinto) and points out all the fire code infractions he notices from the waiting area. Nurse Nico Silva (Al Calderon) happens to walk up just then and tosses Oliver under the bus as the floor’s fire marshal. Matthew teases Nico about ghosting a fireman he set him up with, and Oliver’s insulted that Matthew never tried to set him up with one.
Van (Alex MacNicoll) wakes up in bed next to his ex-wife, Michelle (Stacey Farber), and she definitely doesn’t want their son, Liam, to think they’re back together yet. Van’s forced to hide in a closet while Liam shows off his turkey costume.
Oliver and Dana (Aury Krebs) test Matthew’s lungs, and he’s had a significant decline, which means his respiratory muscles are getting weaker. Carol (Tamberla Perry) interrupts to warn Oliver that his mom, Muriel, is at the hospital bragging about meeting a masseuse who made her feel young. Oliver tries to get Carol to cover for him, but Carol’s got her own family issues. The entire Pearce family’s popping in for Thanksgiving.
Muriel (Donna Murphy) invites Oliver to Thanksgiving dinner because she misses him. Oliver promises to see if he can fit it in his schedule.

Meanwhile, Dr. Anthony Thorne (John Clarence Stewart) is in the ER taking orders for a Thanksgiving celebration meal. Sam’s in the waiting room and when Anthony asks for his order, Sam suddenly vomits blood.
Anthony informs Ericka (Ashleigh LaThrop) that Sam’s suffering from liver failure. That’s weird since he’s not a drinker and doesn’t have a history of the disease. He’s in renal failure and might wind up needing a liver transplant.
There’s more bad news with Oliver tells Matthew that three tests in a row showed his lung function is declining. Matthew doesn’t want a breathing machine. The guys at the station have been helping him since he lost the use of his arms, but he won’t make them help him with a machine. (He’s been living at the station since his diagnosis.) Oliver thinks it’s time Matthew talks to his family so they can help him, but Matthew doesn’t want them to know about his condition.
Matthew talks with Carol and he’s dead set against telling his family. His daughter only has one semester of college left, and he won’t jeopardize her graduation. Carol gets him to admit he’s not seeing his ex-wife or daughter over the holidays, even though they always spent Thanksgiving together – even after the divorce. Carol believes telling his family gives him more power over the disease. Matthew continues to disagree.
Oliver suggests that Ericka wait to call the transplant team to assess Sam for a liver transplant. Sam’s awake and Oliver tells Ericka that a decline in his mental status is a key diagnostic sign. As long as he’s awake, the team may not assess him for a transplant.
Oliver, Ericka, and Carol present Sam’s case to Dr. Josh Nichols (Teddy Sears), and he doesn’t believe Sam’s a good candidate because he’s unhoused and unstable. Carol makes the case that Sam wanted to get better, but Josh reminds them that Sam’s alone and doesn’t have anyone to monitor his meds. Ericka’s upset that Sam’s going to get overlooked and Carol suggests they talk to Sam while he’s still capable of discussing a transplant.
Carol and Oliver speak privately, and she agrees to present Sam’s case to the transport board. As for Matthew, ALS is progressing faster than they expected and Oliver’s worried he’s wasting the limited time he has left avoiding those closest to him.
Oliver’s going to head to the fire station, and Carol teases him about checking out firefighters. Oliver confesses he’s seen their 2026 calendar and thinks Mr. October’s hot.
Ericka talks to Sam about his condition, and he reveals he never used her credit card. The medication was helping but then he was beaten by strangers who stole her card. He avoided the hospital since he promised he’d bring back the card. Sam was taking acetaminophen for pain, and that caused his liver failure. He confesses he doesn’t want to die, but he’s already dead to his family.
Oliver sits in as Matthew speaks to a group of kids at the station about what to do in case of a fire. He introduces the kids to the station’s dog, Fred, and they’re super excited. Unfortunately for Matthew, his ex, Alicia (Mädchen Amick), shows up just then to yell at him about skipping Thanksgiving. Matthew no longer has a choice about telling his family.

Oliver, Carol, Alicia, Matthew, and his daughter Gabby discuss his condition, and Alicia is furious he hid this from them. Alicia and Gabby want everything that can be done to be done to treat Matthew, and Oliver assures them they are exploring trials. There’s extensive research being done and hope for successful treatment in the future.
Matthew speaks up after Alicia declares he’s going to move in with her, and she’ll take care of him. His daughter is going to leave school to help too, and Matthew is livid. He doesn’t want to be a burden on them. Matthew is adamant that he’ll fight this on his own.
Ericka, Van, and Michelle try to find Sam’s family, but thus far they’re not finding anyone. Van’s shocked at how difficult it is to qualify for a transplant; you need two people to commit to being caretakers. Dana rushes in with a possible number for Sam’s family!
Ericka calls Sam’s mom to let her know what’s happening. His mom is shocked and can’t even respond.
Carol and Alicia discuss Matthew’s current condition and what led to divorce. Alicia’s surprised Matthew’s in therapy and that he actually talks. Alicia reveals Matthew used to be a talker but stopped after 9/11. Matthew came home that day but was never the same. All she ever wanted was for Matthew to admit he wasn’t fine.
Matthew’s at the station when steam comes from the coffee pot. He can’t use his arms, so he uses his body to take care of the problem. A short while later, Oliver patches up his forehead, but Matthew doesn’t reveal how he fell. He just chalks it up to being clumsy.
They candidly discuss his condition, and Matthew admits when he adapts to a loss, he loses something else. He is still determined to protect Gabby and Alicia.
Fire Chief Dennis, aka Mr. October, visits Oliver at the hospital, sorry they left Matthew alone at the station. Dennis reveals Matthew trained him and made him believe he could do anything. He wishes they could do more for Matthew, and Oliver thinks they can.
Sam’s family rushes to the hospital, and his dad says the only place they want to be is with him. It’s not long before Sam stops speaking and Ericka and Oliver rush in with a team. His brain is swelling and they need to hyperventilate him and give him meds. Sam doesn’t have much longer unless he gets a liver.
Oliver explains to Sam’s family that he’s not on the list for a transplant because he doesn’t have a support system. His parents immediately volunteer. They used to be close but the voices in his head turned him against his family. Sam ordered them to stay away, but his mom feels guilty. Ericka realizes they have a life in Ohio, and Sam’s dad assures them they can rent a place here – if that’s what Sam needs. They will never let him go again.
Matthew reluctantly agrees to take the BIPAC machine that Oliver suggests if it will help him stop having a repeated nightmare. Oliver has Matthew walk him through the dream of his house burning to the ground as his family cries out. Matthew can’t save them, but Oliver flips the scenario, asking if it’s possible his family is supposed to save him.
Muriel arrives at Oliver’s and it’s obvious no one has been there in a long time. There are cups everywhere, and all his beloved ferns are dead. She gets to work cleaning up and finally breaks down sobbing.
Carol and Oliver break the bad news to Ericka that the transplant committee rejected Sam. Oliver promises he’ll keep reaching out to different transplant teams but for now they just have to hold out hope.
Matthew invited Oliver to his family dinner and Oliver takes a pie meant for the staff since he can’t show up empty-handed. The family gathers around the table and each shares what they are grateful for. Matthew’s grateful for his family but adds that he won’t burden them. He’s arranged to move into a facility that will take care of him. Alicia and Oliver assure him his family won’t be doing it alone. His fellow firefighters have all volunteered to help Alicia if he moves back in with her.
As they’re talking, fire trucks pull up outside. It’s not just the firefighters who are there to support Matthew; it’s dozens of people who Matthew saved over the years.
Back at the hospital, Carol’s family shows up with food for the staff Thanksgiving meal. Carol introduces her sister, Helen, to Anthony, who’s super excited to try Carol’s sweet potato pie. Helen approves of the flirting until Anthony reveals he’s a Cowboys fan.
Van, Michelle, and Liam have their own family table in the break room and Michelle reveals it’s their first family dinner together. They kiss and Liam is all smiles.
Alicia and Matthew have a quiet moment together, and they reconnect. Matthew also reconnects with Gabby, taking her to an art gallery like he used to when she was growing up.
Ericka serves Sam’s family dinner around his bed.
Oliver’s shocked to see his mom whipping up Thanksgiving dinner at his place. She keeps up a running dialogue, but Oliver finally stops her. They don’t need to talk about his dad.
In the following days, Oliver helps Matthew record a message to his daughter, Gabby. He confesses that allowing himself to be rescued when he doesn’t want to accept help is the bravest thing he’s ever done. “But it is worth it, if it means more time with you,” says Matthew.
Episode nine ends with a suggestion to visit iamals.org/progress for more information on helping to end ALS.

HBO’s first teaser for season four of Industry is set to Nina Simone’s “Lilac Wine.” And while there are only three short lines of dialogue, it’s enough to build the excitement for the new season.
HBO’s short video accompanied the reveal of the fourth season’s release date. The eight-episode third season ended on September 29, 2024, and season four – which also consists of eight episodes – will premiere on Sunday, January 11, 2026 at 9pm ET/PT.
“At the top of their game and living the lives they set out to have as Pierpoint grads, Harper and Yasmin are drawn into a high-stakes, globetrotting cat-and-mouse game when a splashy fintech darling bursts onto the London scene,” reads HBO’s synopsis. “As Yasmin navigates her relationship with tech founder Sir Henry Muck and Harper is pulled into the orbit of enigmatic executive Whitney Halberstram, their twisted friendship begins to warp and ignite under the pressure of money, power, and the desire to be on top.”

Season four stars Myha’la, Marisa Abela, Kit Harington, Ken Leung, Max Minghella, Miriam Petche, Sagar Radia, and Toheeb Jimoh. Charlie Heaton, Amy James-Kelly, Roger Barclay, Andrew Havill, Kiernan Shipka, and Kal Penn also star. Rounding out the cast are Jack Farthing, Stephen Campbell Moore, Claire Forlani, and Edward Holcroft.
Mickey Down and Konrad Kay created the critically acclaimed drama and serve as writers, directors, and executive producers. Additional executive producers include Jane Tranter, Kate Crowther, Ryan Rasmussen, Kathleen McCaffrey, and Rebecca Ferguson. Michelle Savill and Luke Snellin also directed episodes of season four.
CBS’s Marshals extended teaser shows Kayce’s new unit isn’t sure he can cut it. Obviously, they know nothing about the Duttons.
The Yellowstone spinoff stars Luke Grimes, reprising his role as Kayce Dutton. Brecken Merrill returns as Tate, Gil Birmingham’s back as Thomas Rainwater, and Mo Brings Plenty returns as Mo. Season one also stars Logan Marshall-Green as Pete Calvin, Arielle Kebbel as Belle Skinner, Ash Santos as Andrea Cruz, and Tatanka Means as Miles Kittle.
The new series will premiere on Sunday, March 1, 2026 at 8pm ET/PT.
“With the Yellowstone Ranch behind him, Dutton joins an elite unit of U.S. Marshals, combining his skills as a cowboy and Navy SEAL to bring range justice to Montana. Kayce and his teammates – Pete Calvin (Marshall-Green), Belle Skinner (Kebbel), Andrea Cruz (Santos) and Miles Kittle (Means) – must balance the high psychological cost of serving as the last line of defense in the region’s war on violence with their duty to their families, which for Kayce includes his son Tate (Merrill) and his confidantes Thomas Rainwater (Birmingham) and Mo (Brings Plenty) from the Broken Rock reservation.”
Yellowstone wrapped up its five-season run on December 15, 2024.
Elizabeth Olsen, Miles Teller, and Callum Turner in ‘Eternity’ (Credit: Leah Gallo / A24)
Have you ever thought about what happens after you die? We’re not necessarily talking Heaven and Hell or Valhalla here, just…what happens? Do you stay on the Earth in a different spiritual plane, or are you just bones in the ground and worm food? Or…does your soul move on to another place and start anew? That last theory is at the center of the new movie, Eternity, from Dating Amber director David Freyne.
Eternity is about an elderly man named Larry (The Gorge’s Miles Teller) who passes away while choking on a pretzel and finds himself with a choice to be made. With the help of his “Afterlife Coordinator,” Anna (Da’Vine Joy Randolph from The Holdovers), he must decide which of the “eternities” laid out before him he wants to spend his eternity in. He wants to wait for his wife of 65 years, Joan (Elizabeth Olsen from the Marvel Universe), to join him so they can make the decision together. And with Joan suffering from cancer, she should be along shortly.
And she does arrive shortly…but her first husband, a handsome soldier named Luke (Callum Turner from Green Room), is also waiting for her and has been for 67 years. Joan must choose which of her two loves she wants to spend her eternity with, and each of them tries to convince her that they are the correct choice.
The screenplay for Eternity was written by Patrick Cunnane (Designated Survivor) along with Freyne, and it’s about as unique as a romantic comedy can get. It has all the usual trappings of the genre – it’s full of heart and humor, with just enough intrigue to keep things moving forward. But the love triangle combined with Joan’s seemingly impossible choice makes it fresh and interesting. It’s a rom-com with a twist.
The romance part of the equation stems from Joan having to choose between her first love, the handsome and dashing Luke, and the man she spent most of her life with, her supposed soulmate Larry. And with eternity itself on the line, the stakes could not get any higher for Joan. Despite all of his faults, the audience is clearly rooting for the cantankerous Larry, but there’s no denying that, even after 67 years being apart, there are still feelings between Joan and Luke. And Callum Turner’s Luke is hard to dislike.
The comedy part of the movie is delivered mostly by Miles Teller and Da’Vine Joy Randolph. The incarnations of the characters in the afterlife are images of them when they were happiest in life, so Teller’s Larry is basically a cranky old man in the body of a handsome young man. And that combination is hysterical. Randolph is the clown to Teller’s straight man, providing him his afterlife guidance with plenty of wit and sarcasm. Much of this can be attributed to the film’s whip-smart writing, but it’s difficult to imagine another actress doing what Randolph does with the role. She’s hilarious.
For a movie that’s ultimately about a forever choice, Joan does change her mind a few times, and this back-and-forth indecision – and the guys’ reactions to it – leads to some fun twists and turns in the movie. Both Larry and Luke have made their afterlife choices, so not only is Joan choosing between her two loves, she’s choosing between their eternity choices as well. The ending may be predictable, but the path the movie takes getting there is anything but. And that’s what makes the movie so enjoyable.
Eternity is not your mother’s romantic comedy. Considering that the characters are mostly elderly people in the bodies of young’uns, it’s surprisingly hip and cool. And its premise keeps the movie and its audience on its toes. Even those who usually are not fans of rom-coms will like it. Those who usually are fans of rom-coms will love it.
