There’s no Superman in the picture, but some of the core cast of Scrubs recently got together for a little pizza party. It may not be the reunion that fans want, but it’s still pretty cool seeing J.D., Elliot, the Janitor, and more are still close.
In an Instagram post, Chris Miller (Jordan Sullivan) shared the reunion pic along with a caption that read, “Impromptu pizza party with my Scrubs”. Those Scrubs were: series lead Zach Braff (J.D. Dorian), Sarah Chalke (Elliot Reid) and John C. McGinley (Janitor). They were also joined by Amanda Kloots, host of The Talk.

Of course, there are a number of people missing here that would have made it all the more fun of a Scrubs reunion, namely Donald Faison (Turk), Ken Jenkins (Bob Kelso) and Judy Reyes (Carla Espinosa). As we all know,...

What came first the chicken or the egg? Yea about that. All we get is in return is more rabbit holes, but how about we decipher this in film terms. It’s another showdown, and with that comes deciding on if the imitator does it better than the originator. Even though prior rip-off segments discussed very similar components between the two, this upcoming showdown is just a down-right spitting image of one another. One of those films is based off a global best-selling video game and has created a massive following. It also just shattered Halloween weekend box-office numbers while simultaneously streaming on Peacock. The next is an indie-styled film that brings...

A subtle pattern emerged when reflecting upon the year’s standout horror moments and performances: it’s been one hell of a year for knockout monologues. A monologue relays vital information about the story or the character relaying it and supports its central themes, but there’s an art form to its delivery. Some of the most unforgettable performances of 2022 belonged to actors that delivered uncanny, showstopping monologues that glued us to our seats and left us in rapturous awe.
Writer/Director Andrew Semans’s Resurrection explored the psychological toll of abuse via dread-soaked horror. Rebecca Hall stars as Margaret, a savvy career woman with a sturdy head on her shoulders. She’s single-handedly raised an independent teen, Abbie (Grace Kaufman), on the cusp of leaving the nest for college. But Margaret’s carefully assembled life begins to untangle from her grasp when David (Tim Roth), a menacing man from her distant past,...

Even though the fireplace has been extinguished, the stories explored in Netflix’s “The Midnight Club” live on.
Co-creator and executive producer Mike Flanagan has made good on his promise to unfold the mysteries set up in the first season of the YA thriller series following its cancellation by the streamer, which TheWrap exclusively reported on Thursday. Flanagan and Trevor Macy’s Intrepid Pictures have been behind several beloved horror-tinged Netflix series, including “The Haunting of Hill House,” “The Haunting of Bly Manor” and “Midnight Mass,” as a result of their overall deal (now wrapping up as they head to Amazon Studios), but “The Midnight Club” marked the first show designed to be ongoing.
“My biggest disappointment is that we left so many story threads open, holding them back for the hypothetical second season, which is always a gamble,” he wrote in a Tumblr post. “So I’m writing this...

The Mike Flanagan and Leah Fong-created series “The Midnight Club” marked the first Netflix series for Flanagan that was intended to continue over multiple seasons, which meant that the inaugural season ended with multiple unresolved storylines and cliffhangers.
The news of the series cancellation leaves fans disappointed that those loose ends will remain unresolved, or does it?
Flanagan fulfilled his promise on Twitter not to leave fans hanging in the wake of the cancellation news, providing detailed plans for what we would’ve seen had season two come to pass.
In a blog post, Flanagan answers the mysteries of Dr. Stanton (Heather Langenkamp) and her ties to Brightcliffe Hospice’s cult past, the true identity of the Janitor (Robert Longstreet), what the Shadow is, and the fates of central characters introduced in the inaugural season.
More than wrapping up story threads, Flanagan reveals more Pike novels planned for the second season.

As beloved as "Scrubs" is today, nothing about its premise guaranteed success. It's a sitcom about a setting that's usually reserved for serious dramas, with no laugh track or multi-camera set-up. Although a sitcom without a laugh track wasn't unheard of at the time (the very successful "Malcolm in the Middle" aired its debut season the year before), it still wasn't the norm.
The biggest reason for showrunner Bill Lawrence's skepticism over the show's survival, however, was his willingness to regularly take its episodes in sad, serious directions. Just like in real life, patients would die at Sacred Heart Hospital, and "Scrubs" would rarely try to interrupt the tragedy with any light-hearted quips to ease the tension.
Push Back From The Network
Specifically, Lawrence received a lot of push back for season 1's fourth episode, "My Old Lady," which followed Jd, Elliot, and Turk as they all dealt with patients who had life-threatening illnesses.

A lot of popular TV shows have a tendency to become more self-indulgent as they go on. The first few seasons are often written with restraint, with the full knowledge that cancellation could be on the horizon — but once a sitcom becomes a hit, the writers start to get more confident. Maybe a little too confident. By the time "Scrubs" reached syndication in season 6, they started indulging perhaps a little too much in the show's most unique element: Jd's (Zach Braff) fantasy sequences.
Whereas most of the early season fantasy sequences are sharp and snappy, later seasons "Scrubs" had them go on for entire minutes at a time. Some of these (like the Floating Head Doctor joke that was done three separate times) were so good that they were worth taking up a significant portion of the 21-minute episodes, but these longer fantasies were a lot harder to forgive when they fell flat.

For a show that takes place in a hospital, "Scrubs" was never afraid to have some absurd characters floating around. The long-running medical comedy produced such memorable characters as the brutally sarcastic Dr. Cox and the frat boy surgeon known as "The Todd." But no character pushed the boundaries of the show's commitment to any amount of realism quite like the unnamed Janitor.
The Janitor, played by Neil Flynn of "The Middle" fame, is a mysterious and outrageous figure in the hospital. Nobody knows his real name, or frankly his real intentions. In the first episode, he becomes angry with Zach Braff's Jd, the main character, and spends the rest of the series antagonizing him at every opportunity. Whenever the show needed a weirdo around to make whatever kind of joke was required, the Janitor would step in and steal the scene. The Janitor's presence on the cast was...

For most of its nine years on television (eight regular seasons and one semi-spinoff season), "Scrubs" was off-the-wall and surreal. The show, about the journeys of medical interns to full-fledged doctors, could be as nakedly emotional and touching as the best hospital dramas. It could also be incredibly silly. Much like "Ted Lasso," another show from creator Bill Lawrence, "Scrubs" is very sincere and warm-hearted, but it embraced the bizarre with relish, especially as the seasons went on.
The key to the "Scrubs" weirdness came in its main character, J.D. (Zach Braff), who also served as narrator for the show. J.D. is neurotic, constantly wondering in voiceover about whatever plights he and the other characters might be facing. From there, the show would move into J.D.'s fantasy sequences, loaded with elaborate visual gags. Sometimes, the fantasies would speak to the episode's thematic throughline. Other times, they...

Pretty much ever scene in a comedy movie or at TV show requires the straight man, the normal person who reacts to all the wild stuff going on around them. It's not a role that tends to get the actor a lot of praise thrown their way, but it is an important one. On some shows like "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia," the role gets flipped around a lot from moment to moment. Depending on the episode, any member of the gang could be the normal person who helps put the rest of the gang's wackiness into perspective. As the show went on, the straight man role became more commonly given to an outsider of the group, like the poor waiter at Guigino's.
For "Scrubs," however, the role was most often given to Carla (Judy Reyes), who would point out how weird or immature Jd (Zach Braff) and Turk (Donald Faison) were being.

Millwood is shaping up to be the most corrupt town in the entire Pretty Little Liars universe, and it's making for a nice change of pace from the other shows.
Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin Season 1 Episode 4 and Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin Season 1 Episode 5 increased the stakes and gave us some answers to some of the most burning questions.
We'll start with Noa because that visual of her on the roof as she betrayed her mother was heartbreaking.
A's message about punishing the guilty is another clue that the mothers in 1999 were awful to Angela to the point that she killed herself.
Noa has been so fiercely devoted to her mother that she never stopped to think about the ramifications of lying and the effect it could have on her future.
Marjorie should be ashamed that she forced her daughter to lie for her. I know their connection runs deep,...

Of all the characters on "Scrubs," the Janitor (Neil Flynn) is probably the funniest. Every other character has some sort of serious character arc going on beneath all the jokes, but the Janitor? He's a wild man. He decided he hated Jd (Zach Braff) on his first day and he held that grudge for eight years straight. He was famously not even supposed to be real in the first season, but a figment of Jd's imagination. It was only once it was clear the show would get a second season that they let the Janitor interact with the other characters.

As if we needed another reason to re-watch Spider-Man: Homecoming again. Not only would it be a nice refresher before Far From Home hits theaters next month, but now comic book movie lovers have something else to draw them back to the film.
In a Q&a of sorts on YouTube between fans and the cast and crew of the upcoming sequel, a question was posed: Are there any undiscovered hidden Easter eggs in Homecoming? It was directed at Jon Watts, who helmed both that movie and Far From Home, and here’s what he had to say:
“It’s like almost so obscure that I don’t even know if anyone could ever find it, but there’s a Howard the Duck reference . . . . It’s a very small, small Easter egg hidden in tall grass.”
In a world full of superhero loving, movie scouring fans, this is pretty amazing,...

Refresh for updates Stan Lee is being remembered as a genius, an inspiration and a hero “for making people who feel different realize they are special,” as Seth Rogen put it. “There will never be another Stan Lee,” tweeted Chris Evans.
“Damn…Rip Stan,” wrote Ryan Reynolds. “Thanks for everything.”
Tom Rothman, Chairman, Sony Pictures Entertainment’s Motion Picture Group, said in a statement, “Original and genius are two very overused words in the world today, but Stan was both. Add irrepressible and irreplaceable, and you begin to describe the man. We have all lost a true superhero. We will greatly miss our friendly neighborhood Stan Lee.”
Geoff Johns, producer, author and former chief creative officer at DC Entertainment, told Deadline, “I’m incredibly saddened to hear about to hear about Stan Lee’s passing. He was obviously a genius, the creator of so many wonderful characters, worlds and universes.
