The United States is filled with weird little landmarks that have history that makes no sense. But one in particular is such a mystery that we’ve had multiple ghost shows try to figure it out. And now 1923 brought it up.

Spencer Dutton (Brandon Sklenar) is trying to get back to Montana just as Alex (Julia Schlaepfer) is. The two are on opposite sides of the country and while Alex has been assaulted, mugged, and attacked, she is trying her best to get back to her husband. Spencer has had to stop a rape, help police find Italian bootleggers, and prove his innocence. In doing the last thing, the US Marshal who found him (played by Jennifer Carpenter) brings up my favorite weird fact about this country: The Winchester house.

Doctor Who season 15—or season 2, if that’s what you want to call it—is almost upon us. We’re just a few short weeks away from reuniting with Ncuti Gatwa’s Fifteenth Doctor and meeting his new companion, Varada Sethu’s Belinda Chandra. As promotion for the upcoming season ramps up, the official Doctor Who X account has teased more of what’s to come by releasing the titles for all eight season 15/season 2 episodes.

They are as follows:

Your fast food meal is about to get a little more…blocky. McDonald’s x Minecraft is a reality with a new collaboration between the two brands for the upcoming live-action A Minecraft Movie produced by Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures. In anticipation of A Minecraft Movie, you can expect to see new meals, packaging based on the video game world, and exclusive collectibles. Beginning April 1, you can pick up all the new limited items.

McDonald’s is no stranger to pop culture collaborations in recent years, having dipped their toes into the world of the popular TV show Friends, Rick and Morty, and pop group BTS. In most of these collaborations, McDonald’s adds a new themed meal to their menu along with an exclusive sauce. The Minecraft collaboration is getting the full treatment with both A Minecraft Movie Meal and A Minecraft Movie Happy Meal.

Both meals come with custom packaging, a Nether Flame sauce, A Minecraft Movie-themed toys, and in-game downloadable content codes. The A Minecraft Movie Happy Meal comes with the regular Happy Meal fixings and scannable game code. The toy element is one of twelve A Minecraft Film-inspired figurines or Block World toys. Details on the game are scarce, but the McDonald’s website says it involves players completing a quest in the A Minecraft Movie universe.

A Minecraft Movie Meal comes with one of six collectible figurines that are inspired by McDonald’s characters and the film. Each figure comes with a matching card and a DLC code to unlock the character’s skin in Minecraft. Along with this, fans will get a one-time redeemable code unlocking the McDonald’s Add-On pack in the game. This includes “McDonaldland characters, builds, and tools.” The figurines are as follows:

• Big Mac Crystal – Mined from the sea of special sauce, this precious block derives its radiant shine from melty cheese and a toasty sesame seed bun. 
• Birdie Wings – Keep your eye to the sky or you might miss the early bird soaring high above the clouds with a rare pair of elytra wings. 
• Fry Helmet – Forged from the iconic French Fry box, this enchanted helmet is rumored to protect you from friends stealing your last Fry. 
• Grimace Egg – Emerging from the depths of a purple shake, this magical Grimace mob gets its shape from the most coveted egg of them all. 
• Soda Potion – The electrifying effect of this potion is as mysterious as its recipe: an accidental combo of fantastic fizzy flavors. 
• Zombie Hamburglar – Little is known about this hungry mob who spawns late at night and wanders all biomes in search of hamburgers.

As for the edible contents of the meals, the regular meal includes a choice between a Big Mac or 10-piece Chicken McNuggets with a medium drink and fries. Make sure to try to get the nuggets so you can dip them in the Nether Flame Sauce condiment. It’s a limited-edition hot sauce with tasting notes of crushed red pepper, cayenne, hints of garlic, and a little sweetness. You can also add just the sauce to any McDonald’s order.

You can check out A Minecraft Movie in theatres April 4 and maybe grab some nuggets on the way.

In Hollywood, being “number one on the call sheet” is more than just a logistical detail, it’s a symbol of leadership, influence, and representation. Number One on the Call Sheet, the two-part documentary executive produced by Jamie Foxx, Kevin Hart, and Datari Turner, dives deep into what it means to be a Black lead in the film industry.

Split into two compelling parts — one focusing on Black leading men and the other on Black leading women — the documentary explores the struggles, triumphs, and evolution of Black actors in mainstream cinema. Featuring insights from industry giants, the film doesn’t just celebrate success; it unpacks the systemic barriers and cultural shifts that have shaped the journey toward inclusion.

With candid interviews, archival footage, and personal anecdotes, Number One on the Call Sheet isn’t just about Hollywood, it’s about the perseverance, talent, and undeniable impact of Black performers who continue to redefine what it means to lead on and off the screen.

Directed by acclaimed filmmakers Shola Lynch and Reginald Hudlin, Number One on the Call Sheet brings a nuanced perspective to these conversations, blending historical context with firsthand experiences from Hollywood’s most influential Black actors. Black Girl Nerds interviewed the esteemed filmmakers in the video featured below.
