‘Cult of Chucky’ Is Coming to Netflix in October
The only thing worse than evil clowns in the things-that-kids-are-supposed-to-like-but-are-actually-terrified-of genre is evil dolls, and the Child’s Play series pretty much has that one on lock. A few months ago we got our first look at the latest installment, Cult of Chucky, which promises even more scares from that orange-haired, rosy-cheeked bringer of terror. The good news is: you can stream it on Netflix next month.
‘IT’ Is Now the Biggest September Release in History

Disney Also Planning Jabba the Hutt and Boba Fett ‘Star Wars’ Spinoffs
Listen up, mah bookies. Not only is there an Obi-Wan Kenobi standalone in the works, Disney is also planning to give us solo movies for Boba Fett and Jabba the Hutt! That’s right folks, soon we might get to see the backstories of our favorite galactic bounty hunter and… whatever Jabba is. I assume Hutts hatch out of the ground as tiny snails and just don’t stop growing until they become giant crime lords. #Goals, in other words.
Emma Stone Is the Year’s Highest-Paid Actress, Thanks to ‘La La Land’
