Editor’s note: The below contains spoilers for Andor.Andoris the boost of energy that theStar Warssaga needed. While many of Disney’sStar Warsprojects have been terrific, includingThe Last Jediand the final season ofThe Clone Wars, the franchise is catering to a select fanbase that is only interested in seeing how the stories fit together within the canon. There’s nothing wrong with fan service if it’s for thesake of a good story, but a surprising cameo isn’t going to make something age very well....

Among the plethora of strong shows that I’ve sadly had to throw to the wayside in the era of “prestige TV,“Billionsmay be the one that I’m most upset to have missed. The first season was engaging and genuinely daring in stretches, though that admittedly had much more to do with the fact thatPaul GiamattiandDamian Lewislead the cast than anything else. There’s simply no denying how hypnotic the series can be when its cast, which also includesBreaking BadalumDavid Costabile,Sons of AnarchymainstayMaggie Siff, andToby Leonard MooreofDaredevil, dig into the material and explore the more unseemly parts of their characters....

Last week I got to talk toElizabeth Olsenfor Taylor Sheridan’s new filmWind River. The film marks directorial debut of the Oscar-nominated screenwriter (Hell or High Water) and follows a wildlife officer (Jeremy Renner) teaming up with an FBI agent (Elizabeth Olsen) to investigate a murder on a Native American reservation. It’s a powerful conclusion to Sheridan’s “frontier trilogy”, and I definitely recommend checking it out when it comes to a theater near you....

When beloved filmmakerChristopher Nolanannounced that he was working onInterstellaralongside his brotherJonathan Nolan, one of the greatest initial marketing hooks was the fact that Nobel prize-winning astrophysicistDoctorKip Thornewould be in charge of spearheading the scientific, albeit wildly theoretical, accuracy, but for all of his accolades and awards, even he couldn’t stop the film from getting certain things, such asMatthew McConaughey’s surefire spaghettification in the last act, wrong. Now, to label the mistake as ‘wrong’ is also somewhat inaccurate, as we’re dealing with theoretical physics here, for which every hypothetical scenario such as “What would happen if you entered a black hole?...
