Diablo 4‘s Season 1 update is…not great. The much-anticipated wave of new content is burdened with questionable new features that have slowed down the pace of the game and weakened already weak classes. However, many fans are still looking to still get the most out of the new content and experience as much of it as quickly as possible. That brings us to the Necromancer.
Necromancers are arguably the best leveling class at the start of Diablo 4: Season 1. Though they’ve always been powerful levelers, changes to both the Necromancer class and competing leveling classes have made them that much better at this specific area of the game. If you’re looking to breeze through the bulk of Diablo 4‘s recent update as quickly as possible, they’re your best option.

What’s Next For The Mandalorian? Where Dave Filoni And Jon Favreau’s Mando-Verse Goes After Season 3
The wait for The Mandalorian Season 3 of the entire show so far – and now, we don’t know exactly when we’ll see our favourite father-son duo again.
There are, of course, more stories to come – this is Star Wars, with its continuous narratives, multiple-era-spanning timeline, and characters passing in and out of different series and mediums. So, if you’re bereft at bidding farewell to Din Djarin and Grogu after their latest thrilling adventure, worry not. Here’s what’s coming next.
Ahsoka
Coming: August 2023
The next series coming in the Mando-verse before her story picked up in animated sequel series Rebels – in both cases voiced by Ashley Eckstein. Then, she entered live-action in The Mandalorian Season 2, where she crossed paths with Mando and Grogu (whose name we discovered through her – until then he was officially ‘The Child’), before also popping up in The Book Of Boba Fett to...

Star Wars may have started out as the adventure of a young man who escapes his desert planet to save the galaxy, but it has evolved into so much more than just the story of Luke Skywalker and his family. While Skywalkers are never too far away, series such as the military tale in The Bad Batch and the political drama Andor have expanded the franchise beyond the core film saga.
However, these spinoffs do so in close proximity to the Prequel and Original Trilogies, fleshing out the lives of characters before or after the events of their respective big-screen adventures. It’s an approach which has led Disney+ to carve out its own post-Return of the Jedi shared universe on the small screen, with The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett, and upcoming shows Ahsoka and Skeleton Crew exploring what’s going on in the galaxy five years after...

A Strange Loop was named Best Musical of the 2021-22 Broadway season, and in two of the bigger surprises of the night, Joaquina Kalukango of Paradise Square and newcomer Myles Frost of Mj took best acting honors.
In the first big surprise of the night, Kalukango won the Best Actress in a Musical Tony Award for her performance in Paradise Square, edging out frontrunner Caroline, Or Change star Sharon D Clarke. Frost, who portrays the adult Michael Jackson in Mj, was less of a surprise, though A Strange Loop‘s Jaquel Spivey was generally favored to take the prize.

(Warning: This post contains spoilers for Wednesday’s “The Masked Singer.”)
Team Bad’s numbers are dwindling. Hydra said goodbye to the competition during Wednesday’s episode of “The Masked Singer” on Fox.
For the second week in a row, the judges were able to guess who was behind the mask before they were unveiled. This time, guest judge Nicole Byer was the one to successfully deduce that Penn and Teller were the contestants hidden inside the Hydra costume.
Other guesses that were thrown out included Bert and Ernie, Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly, and Martin Short and Steve Martin. Penn told TheWrap that the latter was quite flattering.
“They’re friends of ours and two of the most talented people on the planet. So we were thrilled to pieces with that guess,” he said, adding that he wasn’t all that surprised the judges were able to figure it out in the end.

Riverdale meets The X-Files in a bizarre, hilarious outing.
This Riverdale review contains spoilers.
Riverdale Season 5 Episode 7
“Something very strange happened in Riverdale last night.”
It’s increasingly difficult to review Riverdale because this remains a show that has transcended criticism.
To be blunt, it just does not give a single fuck. Not that it has to at this point.
We’re not even ten episodes into the series’ fifth season yet and the sheer volume of things happening right now is whiplash inducing. This latest episode featured, ahem, UFOs, serial killers, art forgery, irresponsible firefighting, ham-fisted commentary on contemporary issues ranging from fiscal crises to veterans suffering from Ptsd, and a dance off. I’m sure I missed something just there, but that’s forgivable seeing how Riverdale remains a show that jarringly transitions from one increasingly inexplicable plotline to the next, pausing only when it deems fit to...

“I had the most fun I’ve ever had in my life,” proclaimed Paul Shaffer after he was unmasked as the Skeleton during last week’s episode of “The Masked Singer.” During his post-show interview with Fox (watch above), the Grammy-winning musician stated, “I have done a bunch of nutty things in my career, [like being] hit by 17 dozen eggs with a giant fan on Letterman. This takes the cake.” Shaffer was eliminated during the fifth episode when he lost the audience vote against Black Widow, Butterfly, Flamingo, Leopard and Thingamajig.

The first time Flower performed, she became an instant fan favorite thanks to her booming voice and stage presence. Panelists Nicole Scherzinger, Ken Jeong, Jenny McCarthy and Robin Thicke even thought such famous names as Patti Labelle, Jennifer Hudson, Jessie J and Bjork might be hiding behind the Flower mask.

It’s understandable that the judges on “The Masked Singer” will make some unorthodox guesses as the identities of the show’s performers. They’re going off of vague clues (given in a distorted voice) as well as the performer’s figure and voice. However, some of their guesses are so out of left field that it actually makes your head hurt. With that in mind, take a couple of Tylenols and look at the seven most ridiculous guesses made the show’s judging panel: Robin Thicke, Jenny McCarthy, Ken Jeong and Nicole Scherzinger.
Bjork as the Flower (Ken)
This one is probably the guess that made me want to bang my head against the wall the most, made only worse by the fact that I’m a huge fan. It blew my mind how certain Jeong was about this guess because that would imply he was very familiar with...

The identity of the dapper Skeleton on Fox’s “The Masked Singer” was revealed Wednesday night — and no, it wasn’t Martin Short, who was by far the leading guess by both the panelists and viewers offering up their thoughts on social media for the last few weeks.
Turns out the tuxedo-clad bone man was actually Paul Shaffer. And while you were guessing Skeleton was Short, Shaffer tells TheWrap Short, his best friend, was bugging him to find out if Shaffer was the Skeleton.
“All I can say is that Marty called me and he said, ‘Are you the Skeleton?’ And I said, ‘I thought you were the Skeleton.’ ‘Cause you gotta say something to people,” the Canadian musician said. “A lot of people started asking, are you the Skeleton? But of course I wasn’t going to tell anybody,...

This week’s The Masked Singer brought something into focus for me for the first time: Do Black Widow and Butterfly have really similar face masks, or what?
Is it a clue? A nod to some connection between the two performers underneath all of the sparkly spandex and foam antennae? A secret message that we must somehow decode? Or maybe it’s just that bug heads don’t look all that different, when you really think about it, and Man does this show make you overthink things, eh?

On Wednesday, six Season 2 contestants competed, including The Flamingo, The Black Widow, The Butterfly, The Leopard, Thingamajig and Skeleton.
After the singers performed, panelists Jenny McCarthy, Nicole Scherzinger, Ken Jeong and Robin Thicke and the studio audience chose the “weakest” contestant, which ended up being The Skeleton. He was unmasked and revealed to be musician Paul Shaffer.

The introductory phase of “The Masked Singer” Season 2 is behind us, which means now the real competition begins. Heading into Wednesday’s episode, there were still 12 costumed celebrities in the running to win Fox’s wild and wacky reality TV series. They’ve been divided into two groups of six, with Black Widow, Butterfly, Flamingo, Leopard, Skeleton and Thingamajig up first this week. These masked singers all performed for the votes of the in-studio audience and judges Jenny McCarthy, Ken Jeong, Nicole Scherzinger and Robin Thicke, with the loser forced to reveal their true identity. So how did it all play out?

Episode 4 of “The Masked Singer” saw the return of three celebrities from week one — Butterfly, Skeleton and Thingamajig — who again climbed into their elaborate costumes and took to the stage to perform a hit song. On the premiere episode, each had earned enough votes after they sang to stay in the competition.
While the Butterfly and Thingamajig won over the audience, Skeleton was forced into a sing-off with the Egg. The latter lost out with the judges and was revealed to be Olympic figure skater Johnny Weir. We’ve been doing some digging about the identities of all of the remaining contestants. Keep reading for “The Masked Singer” spoilers, including the real name of the Skeleton.
We are think that the Skeleton is comedian Dana Carvey. Remember, the Skeleton admitted in week one that he chose his costume because he has no fear of death. Carvey, who is now 64, was...

Wednesday’s fifth episode of “The Masked Singer” will be one to watch out for, as Nicole Scherzinger finally reunites with her one true love, Thingamajig. The judge has declared she wants to “marry” the green monster, and now he’ll appear on stage for the first time since the Season 2 premiere. Joining Thingamajig on October 16 will be Black Widow, Butterfly, Flamingo, Leopard and Skeleton. Each costumed celebrity will perform once for the votes of the in-studio audience and panelists Nicole, Ken Jeong, Jenny McCarthy and Robin Thicke, with the loser having to unmask in front of America.
“I would date him after that vocal performance,” Nicole will declare about Thingamajig while playing with her hair. Following his performance, Nicole and the monster will share a special moment as both give each other air hearts. “I’d marry you,” she whispers. Does Thingamajig feel the same way? We’ll all find out Wednesday night.

No yolks about it: during the two-hour premiere of “The Masked Singer” Season 2, Johnny Weir was revealed to be hiding behind the Egg mask. This two-time Olympic figure skater and fashion designer to the stars faced off against Butterfly in the initial vote and Skeleton in the smackdown, losing both head-to-head match-ups. However, in his post-show exit interview (watch the video above), Weir remained positive, explaining, “It was such a big win for me. I had the time of my life.”

Good news, my creeps: Michale Graves‘ new horror rock opus When Worlds Collide is almost here, and I’ve had a chance to let it fill up my eerie earholes! Read on for a full review, an interview with the man himself, and more!
Michale Graves – When Worlds Collide (Music Review)
• Release Date: Available Now
I can’t even describe how excited I was to get my greedy lil’ claws on the latest release from Michale Graves. Not only is this the newest entry in his legacy of horror-punk-terror tunes, this album promised a first: a sequel to a song he penned back in his tenure in the group that started the whole shebang, the Misfits… and not just any song, my fiends—this would be a follow up to what is undoubtedly his signature song, Crying on a Saturday Night! Admittedly, that is a s–t-ton to live up to,...

*full disclosure: a screener of this film was provided by Gravitas Ventures.
Director/writer: Dustin Mills.
Cast: Steve Rimpici, Jessica Daniels and Bart Flynn.
Experimental movie-making and puppet theatre could not get any more stranger with The Puppet Monster Massacre. This horror comedy product comes from the mind of writer, director and actor Dustin Mills. He takes the early style from "South Park" and mixes it up with the production reminiscent of 80’s "Sesame Street." Appropriately enough, the vintage vibe Mills is going for shows.
In this film, Mills manages to make a running gag out of the movies from that era, and keep it going fairly strong. This product is certainly the most unique piece of B-cinema performance art to come out a long time. Who would have thought that a horror movie could be made with nothing but puppets? There are no true scares, but the twisted humour Mills uses somewhat works.
